This exactly. Everybody knew about the whistles before the game so it should have been part of the managers team talk before going out to continue playing even if you think you've heard a whistle
He didn't stop. His touch was too heavy and Aina got in front of him and cleared the ball. He knew if he touched Aina it would be a free kick, the game would stop, we'd re-organise and punt the ball upfield. He was hoping Aina would screw up and they'd still be on the attack.
I think one of their supporters already did. I racked my brains to think of their player being in the penalty box and on goal but stopped for the whistle. When I saw the clip on their board I was amazed they thought a whistle explained why he didn't go through the back of Aina..
I was laughing at full time and still having good giggle now . Hated that club since the 70 ' s and Burnley 84 . They are on the slide after the momentum of promotion gave them a good start . Plenty of sour grapes because of the whistles , but in reality we won because we were better on the night . Up yours Wilder
not sure if this has being posted....protest in Germany against monday night games....they also used balls and whistles https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...a-monday-night-fans-protest-frankfurt-leipzig
Maybe if people beyond the north stand knew what the **** the protest was then perhaps they could have joined in. You silly ****.
All well and good GLP, but A) getting a banner in is a job in itself (well done the lads at Blades game) B) if you did get one in the Stewards would try to have it off you in no time...
I know a lot of City fans. Not one knew what was going on or was planned. These aren't new fans either. It was disjointed and a one stand protest. Many on here presumably those involved thought it was great - good on them. I thought it was poor for reasons already outlined. To the Allams as stated before, as it was minority participation- will still very much be of the opinion that it's just a noisy minority against them - that's the point. We're not on national tv every week now so it was an opportunity squandered and it wasn't collaborative. Most clubs when they protest it's full stadium participation. Which seems lost on some.
After listening on Sportstalk to the presenters and the sit down shut up brigade going on about the players being put off by a handful of people protesting at the KC I messaged to ask why the players in that game weren't put off by a crowd 3 times the size all, not just a handful, whistling far more loudly throughout and holding up the play by throwing balls on the pitch. In fact far from being put off they came from behind to win. Of course it wasn't read out. Did like one banner " Monday nights are for sobering up!".
Yrs, but Hull is Capital Of Apathy and most people, just not City fans though they are amongst the most apathetic, can't stir themselves to protest about things.
Perhaps if you are so keen to protest then why not start a protest group yourself .. or make an effort to find out what is happening more then 24hrs before the game. I'm sick of reading your bleating about it. Some gave it a go .. not brilliant but at least they tried. You on the other hand do nothing but whinge and moan or try to belittle their efforts. Either put up or shut up !
Don't talk daft, that would mean him actually doing something rather then just sitting on here, criticising others and being negative
Good news. This from a brum fan. It finally had to happen. It takes a lot to send Blues fans to breaking point. Let's look at what we have done over recent years: -watched the best players we have brought up in generations be sold for a pittance so that the club can survive - and so that the directors get a huge payday with the proceeds; -go an entire year without a home win; -twice avoid relegation on the last day, once with almost the last kick; -a season in which we have scored precisely 22 goals - the lowest in the League; -lose 8-0 at home, on top of other five and six goal shellackings; -play Marc Roberts. And today was it. The crowd finally turned. Losing in the most spineless, gutless, cowardly display I have seen for a very long time. There are only two outfield players with any credit. Maxime Colin, who is by a distance the player of the season, and Sam Gallagher, both of whom at least gave it a go. And Gallagher should have an asterisk as he should have been red carded after half an hour for an elbow. Turned to such an extent that Steve Cotterill refused to walk to the changing room at the end of the match via the corner tunnel. He ducked into the medical area under the Main Stand instead. I'm sure that was on police advice as the paddocks - normally the family area and about as dangerous as lukewarm tea - had gone feral. One had thrown his season ticket at the dug-out, and the situation was not improved by one heartless bastard handing it back to him. Cotterill naturally blamed the fans for the urine-pathetic performance, although that doesn't explain that we have lost the last five games now. Or that there was no turning before we were two down. Or that the turning was most definitely on Cotterill. To be fair to Cotterill, though, it's not his team. It's not anyone's, really. Other than the agents'. How anyone would think we could challenge for promotion when we only escaped last season by the proverbial, and decided to improve by buying players from the teams who came 10th and 14th, beggars belief. But of course nobody knows who actually is running Blues at the moment. The laughably-titled CEO hasn't made any public presence since October and the club's communications director has taken a vow of silence. I get the distinct impression that the whole thing is part of some elaborate Chinese joke. And also Cotterill hasn't had any chance to add to the team. We started the New Year bottom of the table and what happened in the transfer window? We got rid of players. We actually made the worst squad worse. This is a special level of genius. We have known for years that we are weak at left back. We have relied throughout on Jonathan Grounds. Well, he was injured in the Sheffield Wednesday match, and we have approximately 0 fit left backs to replace him. In the time since then, we have played 5, lost 5, scored 1, conceded 14. How is it one player makes such a difference? And a fairly meat & potatoes player at that? How the hell can a club at this level be without a left back? How have we ended up buying players from mid-table clubs in positions we did not need strengthening and selling better players? 2-0 and it could have been a lot worse. Before Barnsley scored they should have been ahead. They missed a penalty when Roberts, the player with the turning circle of Pluto and the speed of erosion, managed to blunder straight through a Barnsley player with the ball nearer me than him. (Not a bad penno, actually, a great save from Stockdale.) And they pretty much went quod habemus, tenemus for the second half. No wonder, this was precious to them and they wanted it. The Blues team? Couldn't give a ****. Jota got a run out and was his usual disgrace. Ndoye, the midfield cannonball with the positional sense of Bugs Bunny, went off to ecstatic delight. Anyway. Next season will be the interesting one as League 1's FFP is more stringent than the Championship's. We will be in clear breach just because of the wages paid to Jota, Roberts and Ndoye alone. And we can't sell them to anyone because you would have to have the intelligence of a deep sea cucumber to think they are worthwhile additions to a squad. So it will be administration to get shot of these wastes of DNA and a points deduction. Or, given that the current owners only want the club as a side-effect of a Hong Kong listing, worse. I can see them just liquidating the club when it is no longer necessary. But of course they are all fit and proper.
