Football is a game of two halves played in two halves. Where is the final third?

Hadn’t really looked at that but only JBL on the bench who wasn’t here last season

The heart has been ripped out of the team and the club this season

Owdsyker

So, only Brownhill started from last seasons team but 8 out of the 9 subs did. Work that one out if you can.

Owdsyker

Agree with this. If he signs for a Brentford or Brighton probably looks decebf but in our side looks dire. Did t really follow his time at Boro but to be fair, we’re littered with players that looked good in the league below but not here. Hopefully Kompany learns from that to some extent. Most of t...

We had a couple of lads in front of us in the Bob Lord.

Owdsyker

We had a formation?

Owdsyker

I remember the Prestige Christmas party at the Locarno Ballroom (later Cat's Whiskers) around mid sixties. Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders were on , the rotating stage was amazing at the time.

Interestingly (if you like language) the full name of Rennes is "Stade rennais Football Club" and 'rennais' isn't capitalized as it's adjectival.

As in Olympique Lyonnais

Another Cullen clone,apart from the defence and Berge ,do we ever look for someone over 5’ 10’,do our scouting system only look for Trevor Meredith type players?

Cullen clone? He's scored more goals from midfield this season than Cullen has in his career.

Swansea with 52% possession losing 5 - 0. Draw your own conclusions.

Tonight sealed our relegation
Not sure this side is good enough to win promotion next season.

Anybody who thinks we will bounce straight back with this team needs to have a serious rethink.

The usual female tv line up, with Wrighty the token bloke.

Redmond has been poor when played brought on to impact games he doesn't Sell him on we can do better Let's not forget we are Premier league and still a draw.Some of the posters on here behave like we are back in the 80s when players did give us the knock back. I agree, he really should be doing mor...

Imagine winning a fantastic game like that then straight into an interview with the airhead Peg Bundy lookalike.

Owdsyker

The roof on the BL is low and there are the stanchions. The cameras, if situated at the back of the stand would not always show a clear unobstructed view. Those sat near the back of the BL are unable to see the screen between the JH and the JM stands. That being the case how did t'Rovers manage to ...

Just checked, there are five 3.00pm kick offs that day. We'll probably be watching it in the Queen Vic. across from Los Cris market.

I’m looking forward to waving my club approved branded flag, whilst queueing up to get my stone cold branded hot dog and cold tea with no lid whilst listening to a carefully curated playlist of approved songs. How did we get to this? It’s all about greed. Can’t we just cheer our team on without thi...

We’re going down, we’ll come back up. Got promoted too early for the plan everyone with a brain can see that. I don't agree, if we had signed last season's loan players on a permanent contract ,which would have cost half of what we've spent, and added a little bit of experience we would have been s...

Offside it was - the right decision.

It was disallowed for a foul not offside.

Owdsyker

There's been some awful decisions by VAR this season but that one will take some beating.

Owdsyker

I won't be watching that. Who is playing DPP Starmer's role?

Owdsyker

It might help if we picked our best team. Does anybody out there seriously think that Trafford is better than Muric?

Skimming through the thread and it seems some folk only ever want to see straight white men on tv.

That would be representative then wouldn't it?

with the possibility of gaining possession of the ball

pretty sure that's exactly what happened. Like is said, ridiculous rule

You can only be offside when the ball is played forward. The original pass was not played forward. Wrong decision.

Owdsyker

From where I sit in the BL stand I'd say the vast majority of booing was coming from City fans.

Owdsyker

I thought Cov were comfortable until the three subs came on. What was he thinking taking Hamer off, he was outstanding.

Owdsyker

I would think that Thomas and McNally will be moved on we won't have to worry about Charlie filling in at centre half. He did a job when required in the championship but not in the Premier league.

Owdsyker

My memory on this is up for scrutiny but when Taffy first appeared in the reserves we played Man City reserves and they had a debutant called Arthur Mann, a highly rated right back they had just signed for £40,000 from Hearts I believe. I think we won 7 - 1 and Taffy scored six and ended Mann's carr...

Proper football, no tippy tappy

Owdsyker

Does anybody on here know that there are NO rules. There are LAWS.

Owdsyker

I don't think the laws have ever defined what "when the ball is played" means. It might mean when the foot first touches the ball, it might mean when the ball leaves the foot, it might mean the whole period between when it touches and leaves the foot, or it might mean any single instant within that...

Owdsyker

Whilst watching one of the usual offside toenail interventions it struck me that they freeze frame when the ball is touching the players foot, in other words before the ball has been played forward, therefore nobody can be offside. Maybe they should have one of their lines between the foot and the b...

I worked in St.Nazaire for a couple of years and when friends and family visited a trip to see the U-boat bunkers was a must do and well worth a visit. They did a tour of a submarine, not a U boat but actually a stripped out French nuclear sub from the early sixties, very claustrophobic. You can als...

Any more theories?

6.4 shots from inside the penalty area??
Have we had 6.4 shots from anywhere on the pitch all season?

Owdsyker

Maybe if we got in the opposition penalty area occasionally it might increase our chances of getting one

Owdsyker

Fair comment but I am only highlighting the fact that replacing seats is not a major crisis for us. In fact let's go all the way and replace the faded blue and pink seats while we're at it. It might even look like a stadium fit for our status

I really cannot understand the club's reluctance to improve the stadium for its supporters. Just watching Sunderland game and they have managed to change half of their seats at a time when they have suffered successive delegations and don't have a lot to pi$$ in. Whereas us.......
