I know, right? Common decency and consideration of others is just the worst, isn't it! Anyone else long for the winter of discontent? (As opposed to Rovers who long for the winter of discount tents)

I love it when a grammatically challenged post begins with "Listen carefully you are clearly not very intelligent.." Alanis Morissette may even write a song about it!

Paul Simpson joins Ipswich.....?

The issue I have with this comment is that the Bournemouth players had to deal with this as well but seemed to get on just fine. It would be slightly odd for our players to therefore be affected (unless they do suffer colour blindness) and Bournemouth's to not be affected. You're absolutely spot on. The colouring in that photo does bring a striking realisation as to the troubles people suffer. As for the highlighted bit. I'm not sure it's the colour of the kits that have made enjoying the game really difficult over the last few seasons in particular! In all seriousness thought, I think it's worth giving thought to what more we, as fans with and without this affliction can do to convince the powers that be to take this issue seriously.

Maybe it was the away end that swung it for them....I mean it does afford plenty of entertainment to the visiting fans seeing the absolute car crash in front of them.... Gloucester Road is probably what pushed them up a bit. Maybe more amenities in the surrounding area?

I don't think this is odd at all. He seems to get hit with illness with Covid, though presumably not as bad this time as last. Therefore his immune system is still getting back to strength and he'd be susceptible to picking up stuff. At the moment there are an awful lot of pretty bad coughs and colds around, and so it wouldn't make sense for him to go into a crowded pub where lots of people are going to be and to want some time with him. Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Well it won't be Posh then Clickety Click

Paul Dickov has to be a shoe in... As should (David) Currie and (Brian) Rice as a pair.

I see your Steve Death and raise you a Norman Conquest, who once conceded 17 goals against an English FA XI in 1951 for Australia...

When did that ever stop them? (Though, granted, the administration changes that now!)

In terms of ability, yes. 100% one of the most talented players this club has ever had. Sadly, there were only flashes of that brilliance shown, but he was a joy to watch at those times. However, the three you mentioned contributed more to the club than Jackie did. Even Tomlin, until he went full Dinning on our arses. JET was lazy, but that double winning season was so important to us. Tomlin almost single handedly kept us up and Nobes took us to Wembley as well as (I think) securing promotion the year before for us. But in terms of ability, only Tinman comes close for me.

That depends on the goal for this season. If the aim is play-offs then absolutely we need to strengthen in January. If the goal is attaining a mid table position and we're not looking in any trouble (bearing in mind, potentially 2 teams with big points deductions as well) then January becomes an unnecessary signing. Prices and wages are inflated in January. If we can get the same player cheaper at the end of the season then a club like ours needs to do that.

His previous bout of it shouldn't have any bearing on how bad he gets it this time. The anitbodies acquired last summer would have disappeared by now. I believe they last up to 8 months. The double jab should help, however. What is slightly worrying is that he was available to sign for us earlier in the year because prior to that he didn't feel well enough to do a job...

Matty James has been one of the best signings we have made in donkeys years.

But got more points than any other team in the bottom 15. So swings and roundabouts eh?

Russell Osman presided over an away win against Liverpool - should we reappoint him....? As much as I liked LJ (but agreed it was past time for him to go), one swallow does not make a summer.

Losing Sir Bob cost us that title. True, we scored 7 times in the first two games after that injury, but draws against Orient and Huddersfield, and a 1-0 defeat to Bolton put the slags back into contention.

I'd say that's more purple and kiwi..... ?

Depends on your definition of lime....Forests kit was more of a darkish sea blue/green!

I have to be honest I'm slightly confused by his account. He seems to be slating the regime for ripping the heart and soul (such as it is!) out of the club, but praising Wally at the same time saying about how much he loves the club. Is essentially his point that Wally Al-Qaeda is well intentioned but incompetent? I'm really not sure! I think his openness is to be applauded though. He's clearly hurting at the way the club has been run and how decent people have been thrown under a bus having done nothing wrong. He's trying to make clear that the clubs scapegoats are not the villains of the piece.

A criticism aimed at him during his latter days at Brighton as well. Admittedly that was when trying to survive in a Premier League relegation scrap.

You're quite right. So long as people know who you're on about it doesn't matter how you spell someone's name. It's like when people mistakingly spell Robbored with a silent "that bloke who ran scared of GJ" or the other common misspelling of "Rovers minibus driver". So long as people know who you mean, what does it matter?

It's not as simple as I don't like it. It's just pure and utter bobbins!

Do you genuinely have so little idea as to how football finances work to believe that 90% of our income comes from less than 10k pay on the day supporters? And then call it "facts". I'll tell you what is a fact. Something doesn't become a fact simply because you state it to be. You are correct in that it's a fans forum....but you don't ever seem to be supportive of anything, so are you even a fan? Like others have said you'd probably feel more at home on the City Till I Die Facebook page. Equally as awful both in content and grammar on that page. You'd fit in well. For me, I've enjoyed watching us at the Gate. We have to sort out our ability to see games out, but the difference between the football now and the football even 6 months ago is massive and if you cannot see that then you really are a lost cause. And then you call for Lampard to take over! Utterly clueless.

They can count the people on it on the fingers of one hand. There are 6 people.......
