English singing that slave song chariots thing ! Lucky BBC blanked out any Delilah singing in the wales game !
Just arrived home. My sense of foreboding ultimately proved correct. In many respects, during the first half we were saying that Brum were the worst team we’ve seen down the Liberty in the Championship since Peterborough - they were nervous and lacking confidence. Even after they were gifted a penalty by Fisher, 2 relatively quick goals sent them back into that nervous stupor. In the opening minute of the second half Manning should have put the game beyond doubt but missed the target. Manning then went missing in action a few times - seemed to forget he was a full back today and not a wing back - and one of his absences gifted them an equaliser. Their goalie immediately gifted Piroe our 3rd - you could almost see the hope drifting from the Birmingham players. However, Martin came to their rescue - he’d used up his 3 substitution ‘times’, Latibeaudiere got injured, we were reduced to only 10 players on the pitch - and their confidence was suddenly restored. They equalised just before the 90th minute and then the board went up for 7 minutes of injury time: we knew what would happen, and it did …. Fisher - is there a worse keeper in the Championship? Surely, there must be an unemployed experienced keeper we could sign? Martin - is there a worse Manager of substitutions than Russ? Why bring on Cundle, Whittaker and then Darling separately? Had he combined any of these, then he could have brought on Naughton to replace Latibeaudiere. Why take of Piroe for Darling - inviting them to attack?
Just got to my hotel, thought the officials were appalling. I’m off to the bar for a sherbet or two, need to drown my sorrows.
I think we made almost as many stupid mistakes in the 2nd half as Wales did against Ireland! I agree RM's use of substitutes leaves a lot to be desired. But why take Piroe off when he would at least keep the Birmingham defence occupied and possibly get a hat trick! When they equalised I told my wife that they would go on and get a winner and round off a thoroughly depressing afternoon. Come on Scotland!
Bye Doc Martin.........how many more byes to this incompetent manager? No funds to strengthen? Doc Martin.
Is the club an attractive option to any decent managers looking ? Plus we've got those yanks ! Prob have to take a gamble on another journey man that gets lucky like Mr blarney Rogers ?
No we are not.And that is what worries me. So many thoughts,so many feelings but I just do not know how to write them all The feelings I do know are "yanks out" Let us get them out and take what comes even if we drop to the Conference. Fuk the yanks....give them rice the b&stard$
There's nothing us Neath boys like more than a waft outside our off stump or even a tickle down the leg side
