One of the main reasons footballers don't turn to refereeing after retirement is the eye watering salaries they are paid. Many Premier league players will earn in a week what a referee earns in a year. They have no need to work, particularly in a role that will pay them 1/52 of their pre retirement...

They could have all been given - similar incidents in the past have For me the whole "us, them (protecting their own)" scenario could be alleviated if former pro players were part of the VAR teams - certainly give a bit more credence to the outcomes Problem being, pro players quite often don't want ...

Forest VAR - 2 points Luton VAR - 2 points Brighton Muric - 2 points That is our relegation really. Lots of what if’s in other games, but these are points that we have objectively had cheated out of us or made an unbelievable error in. As poor as we’ve been this season, we’d have probably done it w...

There’s a good shed place on the Dunkenhalgh side of Gt Harwood

Is that in Rishton, or Clayton ?

How on earth did we manage to go down this season

Started with the wrong GK

And that was not the fault of Trafford

I never want to read another word on here about how wonderful Murics’ passing is.
It’s terrible.

But his saves are match winning

jojomk1

They have had some beatings this season but think this will be No1 for their supporters

jojomk1

Berge has been like a Rolls Royce today

3 goals up. 10mins to go. What can go wrong?

He brings Tresor on

Sorry - couldn't stop myself

jojomk1

Well well... late surge to safety, lol? As delightful as this is in one of the worst seasons ever, it's also rather maddening to think where we'd be at 5pm today if we'd not dropped 4 unnecessary points in recent games.... It's not about recent games Unfortunately this has happened too much through...

That really was a bad miss from Brownhill

No9t a bad first touch of the game.

Why JBL ??

Perhaps he doesn't track back as much as Odobert

Odobert still on ?????

Well worked goal

Where was O'Shea for that goal ?

What a save

jojomk1

Just three points behind Forest but GD is like another

Do hope that VC makes a couple of changes at H/T or soon thereafter

Odobert still the weakness offering very little
Brownhill or, against this lot, even Amdouni

Muric,O Shea, Cullen and Berge the pick of the first half.

Muric has been good because O'Shea hasn't

We gave away min of 10 points from winning positions before Christmas of our own doing, we could easily have been out of it before now. Can't blame recent performances on us not being out

Exactly
Losing points from winning positions, especially at home, have been our weakness

Given this is more like being at the circus than a top level sporting event, I think we should go for the juggler.

They are certainly a team of clowns

Superb from Muric again

O'Shea needs to get a grip. He's getting bullied here.

Almost bullied there by the midget Hamer

jojomk1

Every team knows they can allow us the ball and just break on the back four

jojomk1

Controlling the game possession wise but no shots

jojomk1

What was O'Shea doing there
He is the weak link every week

jojomk1

Another poor buy who VK clearly didn't fancy as his lack of game time and loan suggests
Get any money we can for him

jojomk1

How many points have we now dropped from winning positions ?

That stat will explain why we are almost certainly relegated

Goalkeeper blunders ?, VAR decisions ?

The table shows the outcome of all 38 games at the end, not just isolated incidents - that happen to most teams throughout the season

Why on earth we dont play 3 in midfield with Brownhill joining the other two, rather have Brownhill in than both Fofana and Foster together

That would be a sensible/pragmatic decision

Kompany's thinking shows no semblance of either

jojomk1

Just need Amdouni to come on now

jojomk1

And Benson still on the bench ?

jojomk1

Try Vitinho between the posts

Looks like we are playing man marker at the back

We have none on target

If at first you don’t succeed repeat until you get lucky

He just never learns and that is very worrying
A right sided player at LB with nobody playing left of midfield able to track back and assist

I’d keep Brownhill only. A good player in The Championship but just not quite PL standard.

You could say that about nearly all of our best players

jojomk1

With there being no international tournament next summer, would Weghorst be prepared to play in the championship? Imagine him and Foster up front being fed by Benson and Koleosho/Zaroury/Odobert That's one hell of a midfield four No need for Brownhill, Berge or Cullen Doubt even Tresor could get in...

So had we beaten them two days ago we would now be just two points behind them

Our destiny was in our hands from the moment the season started

And VK just messed up big style

Let them all go

We've got these young guys on further 3 and 4 year deals who are going to annihilate the Championship next season

Our whole season surmised in one game. We offered no threat, with players offering nothing on the pitch and allowed to stay on far too long. We then implode despite no real opportunities for the opposition. Finally we go totally inept and consistently hand possession back to the opposition. Just po...

Given his calamitous record with last summer's signings why would anyone want Kompany as Director of football
I don't want more of the same this summer
