An Orange for me. Same here and then I suppose their argument goes that he should already have had a yellow for an earlier challenge. I thought the handball, when Zaroury flicked it passed him down the line, was by Carter who hadn't already been booked (it was Pickering and Beaver Face). I also thi...

All footage of last night should be accompanied by a caption explaining the B******s decision on the away allocation. They have sullied the derby. It's bad enough that they couldn't sell all their own tickets but to make it look like we couldn't fill the away end is a stain on the Lanclassico.

He is so quick. He headed a ball over the top back towards Muric but it didn't have quite enough on it. The sparse home crowd got excited but he just continued his run and passed it back as though the attacker wasn't there. I also liked what I saw when the beaver faced Rankin-Costello employed his a...

Muric looked so calm and assured tonight. Physically strong, mentally stronger.

Neigh-than Tella!

Duffer_

Double pivot OR the full backs need to drop deeper. There just aren't enough options/ball receivers as we look to transition which forces us to go long and cough up possession. Missing Tella's pressing ability too.

If the only posters allowed to comment are those that agree with what is being said, it would lead to a very one sided discussion, which is perhaps want you want.

Whereas you seem to want no discussion. 'Stop speculating, wait and see' appears to be the extent of your "contribution".

Tella - 9 - forced the sending off, got the assist for the first goal and generally terrorised both full backs in turn with his direct running, whilst his defensive diligence was once again outstanding. verb : Tellarise create and maintain a state of extreme fear and distress in opposition defences

Steven Fletcher scored with a header and won a penalty as Dundee Utd beat Hibs 2-1. CJ Egan-Riley played the 90 for Hibs and was culpable in Fletcher's first.

I would have been happier with the prospect of him coming back if I hadn't seen so much of him playing for Utd. The ineffective lumbering one man press, his inability to jump his height, the badge kissing, the profligate finishing, the constant demanding of the ball from teammates who don't appear t...

Have you forgotten what happened at their place?Last night's team is not tall enough to deal with what we all know will happen on Monday. As an absolute minimum Cork has to play. Or we could just play our strongest team rather than worrying too much about them. Are they bigger and more direct than ...

He looked like a perfect Dyche signing with his down to earth love of carpentry but, despite some flashes of brilliance including a left foot screamer, he struggled to settle in the PL. He started the Champ season well but as we edged towards the World Cup he withdrew a little. There were one or two...

I certainly have withdrawal issues. It's why there's 3 of us going on against Sunderland and why I don't have 69,000 loyalty points.

Well you haven't made any bookings under your username.

I'd be surprised if he did given he has a taxi and a licence. Bit of a troubled character though.

Duffer_

I agree that Wood was patchy - streaky is the word that I often used. His style of play meant that when he was off it he looked to contribute very little. The flip side was that during his hot streaks he was, at times, the closest to an unplayable PL striker we've had. At his best, physically domina...

Just finished Man City 2 Chelsea 0 in the WSL, blowing the title race (a 4 horse affair) wide open. An enjoyable watch notable for the quality of Man City and also the Chelsea (away) fans doing a countdown from 7 every time the City 'keeper, Ellie Robuck, had the ball.

I’ll be honest I’m not sure I can rate that. We were really good first half but then totally dry humped second by one of if not the best team in the world. I’d need to watch it back to be anywhere near accurate and fair. What I would say is I thought Cork and Barnes made us worse. I agree, except t...

Reaaaaaching You'll have to enlighten me I'm afraid. Whilst you're doing that, perhaps you might like to explain to me how changing auditor moves the Club forward?

Duffer_

Interesting choice of words. The reason used for changing auditors was to move the Club forward. Success is the auditors confirming the accounts give a true and fair view and the statutory accounts being filed on time. On the face of it the output looks like a backwards move which raises the possibi...

Best MOTD episode in years.

Had all the goals in
No "expert" analysis
And finished quicker than usual so I could make the pub for last orders.

In fact, I liked the experience so much that I'm going to try turning the sound off on TMS.
