Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover

Don't get all this sentimental clap trap about the club being owned by local people, only thing that matters is the results on the pitch. I would have to agree with this. In this regard however it needs to be pointed out that we finished 10th in the Prenier League at the end of last season...that f...

The honest answer is tough luck. You should have delayed your substitution until you knew the outcome of the decision.
We should probably have VAR review all substitutions just to make sure no technical infringement has occurred.

Re: ARTICLE: Good news as trio come through under-23 game

A couple of seasons back (2018/19 I think) I had really given up on Cork and felt that he was past his best...then last season I thought he was excellent again. I don't think I'm the best judge of a player to be honest but I would expect to have a consistent view on the same player over time.
