Only because of what I think the club means to him and how we as supporters view him. But, I also want the team to be picked on ability and not sentiment. So if he does start I hope it’s because he’s good enough.
I watched the game on telly and to be honest it’s a vague memory now. I just seem to remember that we were comprehensively outplayed and Beale didn’t have a clue. The players only by comparison to what they were up against did their best but we were always going to be second best. I can’t recall O’Neins individual contribution and knowing his character I’m sure you’re right that he played well.
Don't get me wrong I haven't rewatched it either, I barely wanted to watch it the first time. That's my recollection of how the game was though.
