Match Day Thread Hull City v Leicester City

[HHH]

Three points I need to make, no four;

1.The Akpom penalty/ booking incident was right in front of me and did he ****ers like dive.

2.Atwell is an awful ref, I'm not just saying this but he was biased beyond belief. Even when we scored he ran over to Schwarzer to say something, he had no need to it was a clear cut, non contentious goal. It looked as if he was almost apologising to him.

3. I got some complimentary tickets and sat in the North West corner and I had the most irritating woman known to Christendom sat behind me. She knew the square root of **** all when it came to football and had a gob like dock gates. Well done love, you nearly spoiled my night.

4. I attended tonight's game in rag order. I've got flu like symptoms and severe abdominal pains. My joints ache, my head is pounding, I can't stop coughing and I was ****ing freezing throughout the whole game.

Just thought I'd get than in so it makes me look like I'm a better supporter than those able bodied plastics who couldn't be arsed to go.

I was also in the northwest corner.

Padded seats.

Very swish.

The Akpom 'dive' was as clear a foul as you'll see. Though I'm not sure if it was in the box.

also in hindsight, I can have a chuckle at the image of them middle-aged men, running down west stand to remonstrate with the linesman. After their goal.

Stuff like that amuses me.

I bet you're the sort of person who tuts on trains.

Don't use trains but you seem to get excited if players get broken legs. Weird.

 

[Red top reader]

If we get Sheffield Wednesday next round they might have hooper playing for them as they have just loaned him from Norwich ....

 

[Spook]

Not excited, just wouldn't object to seeing it. He's a racist arsehole and I despise Leicester. Not really a moral issue for me.

 

[Trumpton Tiger.]

I wouldn't say it backfired at all, in fact it now gives them a very strong case when people complain about the cost of season passes. When it was first announced many grumbled that it would give them access to ****ty uninteresting cup ties, if any at all. We've now had three good rounds in a row for free.

By backfired I mean it has cost them a lot of money.

Which they recoup by having the most expensive season tickets in the League.

It's so satisfying to be able to say the better team won tonight. Had we not equalised it'd have been a ****ing travesty.

Both the talking points looked to go against us, but looking at the replay it's a great run from Vardy and tbf Jak did well to save the initial effort. Maguire said in the post match that the lino had admitted he couldn't see whether the ball had crossed the line (looking at that pic it didn't totally go over) so he'd have had to guess (which even though they seem to do half the time, they apparently can't do when it matters.).

All the lads played really well, I can forgive the side to side along the backline tonight as Leicester were well drilled in their marking and it took time to pick a decent pass. Dave and Robbo gave us decent width, but Luer looked a bit isolated up top and I'd have liked to have seen another striker with him (obviously it wasn't an option given the others had played a few days ago). Diame looked frigged and should've been replaced long before he was, the fresh legs of Meyler were a welcome addition.

All in all I'm super serial psyched to be through, my Leicester supporting friends think they were hard done by which is even funnier, but not as funny as their long drive home on a Tuesday night following a loss after extra time and penalties.

To top that the roadworks on the M1 to Leicester are a proper ****ter. I have just driven north from Northamptonshire on the M1. Defeat and roadworks - Perfect.

Has anyone posted a vine of Hernandez's goal?

It's about even in this thread it's another one that could have come off his arse defender appears to have beaten him to it by decimal points of a millisecond and kicked it into him where it then ricocheted off his leg and in like a homing missile targeted at the knot 57 to the right and 7 up with pin point accuracy and enough power to knock over a precariously balanced slow spinning dradle.

His confidence must be sky high at the moment, can't stop scoring.

 

[Cortez91]

Could the lower attendance be down to the fact many people were getting locked out of the turnstile again so the stewards kept having to use the override ticket? Big queues outside the West Upper, South and East turnstiles I noticed as I walked around. It'd mean more entered the stadium then were accounted for. There was definitely more than the Birmingham and Ipswich games.

Christ, Chuba got to his phone quick.

You're joking right? He's probably paying someone £60k a year to post that.










And be his agent.
And set up his website.
And keep his fridge stocked up.
And ghost-write his autobiography.
And pick up his dry cleaning. Etc etc.

Davies was live tweeting after his injury against Ipswich.

What was Ranieri watching?

The full back had a torrid first hour against Mo for a start. I also noticed at times Ranieri was gesturing instructions to his team like to get more compact, or player X to move here/there etc, but none of his players were actually looking at him. I wondered who he was shouting to because he seemed to be getting ignored. It happened a few times, particularly the second half.

 

[Edelman]

Brilliant night and it was good that justice was finally done, we were the better team and deserved the win. Huddlestone was excellent but the whole team played well.

You can tell the difference between 17,000 and 18,000? Does the crowd include pass holders if they went or not?
Take away the Leicester fans and it was a poor attendance for a game which was so cheap and with a quite a few entitled to free entrance. A sign that the Allams shenanigans have alienated a lot of people?

Cant keep blaming the Allam effect can we
When we played Sunderland in the FA cup 1/4 final there was only 16.000 in the home end
Its more an apathy thing

 

[originallambrettaman]

Not with the new scanner system I doubt, it should all automatic. The ticket office claimed 18500 tickets were sold which would include the free pass holders, so I think a 17k crowd proves that they no longer just count all season ticket holders as attended whether they were there or not.

Ticket office could have just pulled a figure out their arse of course.

In the last round we included pass holders who weren't there, but this time we seem to have just counted those who were actually there, there were definitely about 18,500 who had a ticket to attend.

I think most clubs only include people who actually attend - that makes sense
But I think Arsenal are one of those clubs who - for league matches at least - also include season ticket holders who don't attend

It was expecting too much to put Luer as a lone striker

You don't have to look at somebody to hear them
