Odd. I thought Seri had a decent game. Worked hard, constantly trying to make things happen, some Huddlesque passes. Things just didn't come off today all round. It was a terrible dive though, expecting a bit more contact that never came I guess.
Typical bloody City. Disappointing - yes Frustrating - yes Surprising - not in the slightest Now the real work begins for Rosie. Hopefully the worst is now behind us and we improve massively from December and again after January. I have high hopes (likely to be shattered yet again).
He had a FK a bit earlier which didn't even beat the first man, I think it was the first half where he played a really lazy pass without looking that went to no one and almost created a dangerous chance. Yes he plays that sort of role where a mistake will be most noticeable but it just seemed poorer than most lately. Perhaps the dive coloured the perception more than it should have.
Its head - not it’s head. People follow your posts so closely it’s important you set a good grammatical example in amongst the complete bollocks you write.
Seri left all his energy on the pitch. Poor sod can do no more for us than he's doing already. He is quality and workrate combined.
I guess they stopped booking players for 'simulation' but that was embarrassing and I don't want to see our players doing it
Yet again we've been beaten by a team whose gamesmanship was more effective than ours. We've never been very good at winning free kicks and pens which hasn't really bothered me as it is twattish anyway. Maybe these are the fine margins LR spoke about after the game. One of which may be getting some energy in the crowd to appeal strongly for the 50:50 decisions to go in our favour.
Your right sometimes I’ve stood up screamed at the ref for a pen/free kick sat back down again and my mate as said, I don’t think it was a free kick, I’ve replied saying- I know it wasn’t but it’s called been biased and having home advantage.
This sort of thing is absolutely disgraceful and should be stamped out unless we’re hanging on for a 1-0 win and we do it
Yes - who would have thought that an "old school" approach could still win football games? You know, the keeper actually kicking the ball into the opponents half from a goal kick, throwing the ball forwards from a throw in, taking plenty of time over every dead ball situation (as opposed to taking a quick 3-yard free kick) etc. Who would have thought these "Old school" tactics still had a place in the modern game?
i think we need to start being ****s that reading corner thing is genius we need to aggravate the opposition rile em up fling mud into their keepers eyes
I doubted him about 5/6 games in, he seemed to disappear and not want to be here. But not now. We are beyond lucky to have him in our shirt and with the right people beside him (might not be until next season) he will go to a different level. If I was Acun/ LR I'd be building around him.
I absolutely agree with this. Was very conscious in the L1 promotion season how much nous we showed. Slowed the game down on throw ins but also Magennis and Honeyman were constantly niggling at refs and drawing loads of fouls. I don't see anyone in the current team who seems to do that. It shouldn't be needed of course, but I really feel we've had some awful refereeing decisions this season and begin to wonder if it's a factor. Normally when people complain about the ref I think it's just our natural bias but this season I really feel we've had a raw deal almost every game I've seen.
I reckon you can tell a bad ref by what he does give City. When you reckon it was a **** decision for your team, any bias you possess is not a factor. We've had shockers at pretty much every game. Decisions are so inconsistent as to be ridiculous. A more physical approach does not make a push in the back legal. Why do linesman (or whatever they are called) ignore a player blatantly pulling the arm of another player on the blind side of the ref. Professional players should know the laws of the game so I really don't see why refs need to waste 2 minutes at every corner, talking to players about pushing shoving etc. See it, blow, penalise. Same with time wasting, one shout of "get on with it" then card them. I reckon refs waste more time than teams. Rant over.
Allahyar didn’t arrive injured for months. Weird we’ve signed some no-mark reserve player from Arsenal on loan, gave him the #10 shirt and haven’t seen him once since we signed him. We’ve made a few pointless signings. The kid from Arsenal, the two from Chelsea and Ryan Woods. Signing players we didn’t need when we’re crying out for a strong defensive midfielder to compliment Seri.
