    Well indeed but people will still blindly follow.
    I stopped going years ago & I never buy replica kit.

    And that's the really problem mate. So what do you suggest we do?

    He should care if he stays in England. That’ll be him banned for 3 games regardless I think.

    Yeah but it won't stop clubs bidding for him, just means he doesn't have to play when he can't be arsed to.

    I really don't think there's anything else we can do.

    Watching him to-day, his value must have plummeted even further, he was wretched, and if anyone should have been taken off at half time it was him imo. Hope it was a fitness issue with Wilson as it was a bad mistake if it was tactical.

    I think the red will be overturned. Ndong stood on the ball and his foot bounced up studs high. Pure accident IMO

    We should make an appeal at least, it looked a very harsh red, the ref was a bit naive at times, bullies seem to thrive at this level, we need a few more in our side if we are to survive, Cabaye's rather than Cattermole's.

    Nacho I beg to differ
    He has probably already been paid more than I can could be paid had I been given thrice my lifetime at 10 times my current pay. So, would he feel robbed being paid one third of his current pay?

    That’s not supporting your club though is it.

    It’s about getting your arse on that seat and singing your heart out for the lads Billy. That is the nub of it.

    Grabban was so poor when he didn’t score but he still holds his value. Harsh in the extreme the red. Sky showed a shot of his foot making contact with the ball along the ground. His foot bounced over the top but not with intent. As I said my son got worse tackles on him this morning in an under 13 game and they weren’t given as fouls (and they weren’t fouls either)

    He may not have played well but we weren’t exactly under the cosh before he was sent off. If he’d stayed on then Coleman can change the game. Due to the red it makes it almost impossible to make the positive changes needed.

    The Wilson substitution at half time, what did you make of that one, we were doing OK up till then, nothing special but we were in the game, the poorly defended goal, then the sending off were the killer blows, even then, if we had kept it at 1-0 we could still have stolen a point in the last minutes of the game, they were poor, and we made them look good, this league is a battle, and we are loosing it.

    Think the ref bottled it because the Cardiff players were up in arms. I'll be surprised if the red is not overturned.

    We were fine up until Ndong got sent off really. The goal was a foul on the keeper as the lad pushed him away from the ball. Guven as a foul 99 times out of 100. Yes he should be stronger but a foul is a foul. Catts on his own or Wilson on his own? Didn't make any difference. When Ndong was on, as much as he didn't play well, he was still effective in there.

    Bizarre....,

    I'd have thought at least 27,000 fans would have set off at Midnight, travelled through the night looking forward to spending their hard earned cash to watch a team who have won a couple games in the last 12 months

    Our away support can't be faulted and I'll be at St Andrews on a cold miserable Tues night in a few weeks time
