    Heads up Shaks. <ok>

    If it's any consolation to you (and it probably wont be) I lost my dad when he was just 54.

    Just saw that bud and, although it will likely feed the skint / tight Rads frenzy, it has to make us much more attractive for serious investors :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Devastated. I was just 17 and due to leave home for college.

    Spoke to them and they held the place open for the following year - thought that was very decent of them.

    Anyway, regarding the game last night, we were well beaten. Our reserves were no match for you.

    Watching the extended highlights, look at Firpo's position for their first goal and his attitude after, he can fec right off.

    Thanks Jammy for the kind words. It's not sunk in yet, but at least we gave him a good send off.<ok>

    Yep. He doesn't track the runner, doesn't bust a gut to close down the player, puts a half hearted tackle in, let's the man run past him, jogs back as though it's somebody else's fault and doesn't look that upset when the balls in the net. Meanwhile, Llorente has to come across to left back, Ayling has to come across to cover Llorente and the domino effect takes over.

    Piss poor and as for Ayling.....

    Thought overall Firpo had a good game.

    But yeh let's focus on a poor bit of defending at 5-0 up when he's been out nearly all season and must have been physically shattered.

    Interesting & I wanted to hear the live view. We watched "live" on TV and I said to Ben that is probably the best 90 minutes I have seen Firpo have for us (especially considering time out) and, hopefully, with a bit more confidence and fitness he will turn out ok.

    Then I came on here last and he was lambasted in every post I read - genuinely thought I had watched a different game. I even started to question my vast understanding and knowledge of footie <whistle>

    Thought we played well even though it was Cardiff Reserves but you can only beat what's in front of you. could and should of scored alot more but you can't grumble with 5 goals in a game. Clean sheet was the most important thing for me though and yet still we found a way to concede really it should of been 3. end of the day it was still a very comfortable win lots of positives but still plenty to work on. great to see some players back fingers crossed they stay healthy.
