    Some of the social media comments... you would think we had lost two......


    There is such expectation of immediate success amongst a whole raft of supporters..... shame really......Our club has changed so much and perhaps for the long term with shorttermism

    That's the power of the internet for you - it brings instant communication, instant news - so many people probably think why not instant success?

    Thing is lets say we had played really well but not won..

    Would the same people be going "oh well we were beaten but had lots of chances etc"

    No they'd be hammering the team for not getting points.

    "Double Jeopardy" rule applies. Except for Serious Foul Play or deliberate handball there won't be sending off.

    Should the Forest guy been sent off yesterday or was Henderson covering him enough ?

    Mind you pulling someone’s hair isn’t deemed violent conduct it seems.

    Haven't seen it but pulling the hair is always getting a red card from me: both violent conduct and serious foul play endangering an opponent. I had long hair when I played. And when I started refereeing.
