Match Day Thread Derby v Hull City

Haha! I bet. I've never been on that platform but I have had binges on most others; slowly barring myself from using any of them. Life definitely feels sweeter that way. This may be the only one that I'll continue to dip my toe into.

 

What, you changed your name from "Off the line" to "Off the forum", now you've changed it back?

 

Maybe I'll just shorten it to 'Off', then I can be called whatever feels right... 'Off Putting', 'Off Target', or 'Off ****'.

 

That's football. But a cock-up of Chris Brass proportions hasn't come as totally unexpected. We've rode our luck on several occasions...What is more concerning is defending from corners....Charlton scored from a corner, (conceded when there was no danger, then no one picking up there bloke). Norwich had a couple of free headers from corners, (luckily off target). Last night, Morris used our CB has a ladder which the ref should have picked up, but if we had had that ruled out for us there'd have been some pelters on here.

 

Given the players we have missing, which are big misses, I'm of the view that we are doing more than OK in the circumstances, well done lads, Sergei and team

 

No doubt about it. The lads and Sergj are doing wonders. Still a shame we dropped 2 points vs Charlton and 1 vs Derby due to turning off at the wrong moments. That's the difference between being in the top 6 and not being in the top 6!

 

would be top 3 if we held onto those results I think!!

 

Not far off Chelsea...4th.....on 25 pts with a +3 gd. Reality is 8th on 22 pts with +1 gd.
How I hate reality.

Great slow mo of their 1st goal. How the **** is that not a foul. And the ref, who had a mare, had clear line of vision.

 

Page could not be found?

It was a foul, absolutely, and should never have stood. No two ways about that.

 

Nah

 

The ref was giving hardly any fouls either way. To be fair, it made for a thrilling game.

 

He’s not just beaten Ajayi to the ball, two hands on his back to push himself height enough to get that connection. Preventing the defender from challenging and gaining a height advantage.

Might not have been a foul in 1776 but it is by today’s standards.

 

I think you are right, under today's usual administering most ref's would have called a foul. However, on a personal level I like to see that sort of aggressive play, adds to the game IMO, same with hard tackles.

 

The referee also missed the wrestling by Sanderson on Slater for that goal.

 

It’s crap to be on the receiving end but we have really upped our level of **** housery under Jak. Long may it continue.

 

And possibly the condition of the playing surface as well.
