It took the ref ages to calm down the protests. Sorry, but there is no way there was "little complaining".

In my view, it's one those you get one week, the next you don't .

Overall, we got a bit lucky and they didn't.

Hard to feel too much sympathy as they were guilty of some of the worst time wasting since Warnock's Rotherham.

Time indeed to move on.

Common sense is a bit irrelevant if it was a penalty, which it was and was correctly given.

Hardly any complaints from the Huddersfield players, including the offender. Speaks volumes, especially in their position!

 

Hardly any complaints? That's not what I saw 

They were going mental 

The only thing that could have made this more sweet was had Warnock been their gaffer.

Thanks @Davefevs, as i said on the FBC podcast this morning, i was half way down Ashton Road at this point .

From this screen shot, the ref got her sightlines absolutely spot on. Shame a few Huddersfield supporters have chosen to take it personally.

Pathetic.

She had more balls than most refs for dealing with blatant cheating by time wasting.

Good on her, I say.

Huddersfield fans saying things like this and far worse are disgusting.

Yeah agreed, I can see why they'd be pissed off.

I think if one where if it's in your favour your happy, if it's not your raging. Given their position I'm not surprised they're so angry, but the sexist abuse is pretty disgusting (as I'm sure we all agree).

Absolutely

Why would people feel the need to mention someone's race/sex/sexuality/whatever when doing it? It's literally irrelevant.

Although actually - it's not entirely, because I can guarantee you she had to work 10x harder than all the other refs we've had this season to get to where she is. Bringing the fact she's a woman into it is just reinforcing those barriers she's had to break.

Oh - and it's not alright to call male refs "all the names under the sun" when they make an honest mistake at work... which is what they're doing. But that's another discussion!

People can be angry without getting personal.

I thought she was really good. The ref on Weds was a level above, but I wasn't expecting her to match that. I thought a couple of the early yellows were a little soft, but she set the tone and importantly was consistent throughout so that made it a lot easier for the players.

You make a good point about getting personal, but if you get to see the penalty again, you can see why Huddersfield would be pissed off. 
He bloke looks very hard done by, and if it were the other way round, I’d be pretty cross.

Just seen one angle of the penalty again on their forum.

Mnnn..  at the time I felt like it was the right decision.

But now, to be honest, it looks very harsh.

Not interested that she was female or male but as long as she done a decent job , which she did well done ref ,

2 good performances in 2 games and 3 pens now we got the refs sorted just need the team to step up 

Not sure ours could be called a decent performance. For most of it we were crap.

The penalty was a terrible decision 

Not from where I saw it it.looked nailed on.

A bit whistle happy, but got the pen and the time wasting spot on.

Very underrated 60s band.

Still not seen anything which suggests this guy can take us forward and beyond. 

 

Still worries me greatly that he's going to be allowed to shape the squad.

 

Has he managed to get some decent results of late? Yes so credit for that.

 

But the reality is its all too little too late. When it mattered he was found waning. 

 

What people havent factored in is that the results have come against teams that dont play with a low block. It remains to be seen if he can sort that problem out. 

 

The Sunderland performance was almost as worst as youll see and the Blackburn game was the opposite of that (with a huge helping hand from a very poor Blackburn) 

 

It seems the issue of pressing was brought up with him, we then start pressing. The issue of not being pro active with subs was brought up with him and then he starts to be pro active with subs. He shouldn't need to be told how to do his job. 

We can't afford to be a learning ground for a young 'head coach' it's just LJ all over again. Streaky and will just constantly change the plan until one works and then when it stops working will keep trying to find a new plan until he lucks upon one that does work. 

He has simply not shown me what Liam Manning football looks like.

Ultimately Manning has failed this season. We are better than where we are in the league. Without results clouding my judgement, it has largely been poor, dull and difficult to watch.

He has not managed to get the maximum out of this squad (with good availability) and certainly not managed to get them out performing their ability. 

We are obviously not going to sack him now and neither will we this season. But I think we should. We are looking at an October sacking in my opinion.

I fear that he will recruit players that are suited to his preferred possesion based style.

What do you do if you build an F1 car that has decent ability and potential but the driver can't extract that ability and potential? You don't rebuild the car to suit the driver do you? No you get rid of the driver and bring in someone more suited to the car and the teams philosophy. 

Oh give it a ******* rest.

It sure seems like OTIB loves Bobby

madly.

I never noticed him.

I personally thought he was extremely rud,e to Nahki claiming he has found a new enthusiasm under Liam. Nahki was absolutely fine under Liam’s predecessor and I know that the club employees are under instruction to rubbish the old regime but that comment did not need to be made and was insulting at best.

Nonsense. I am reliably informed that he was on his best behaviours all night.

When are the t-shirts available?

The SL legacy...

We stayed up!

Couldnt get to the Gate so Robins TV did the trick. Leroy loves the players and club, particularly Liam. What a great series of opinions about our coach- might be worth that seagul from Weston taking a listen!! I bet a lot of other recent moaners wont be on here tonight.

With a transfer window to come, with Zak our oldest player starting at 26 and with inspired subs like Liam has made tonight i reckon all our season ticket holders will be delighted  and encouraging their mates too join up as well for August; it isnt long now. Up the City!

Of course you couldn't

81 posts and counting, what are you a life-long City new born baby or something??

I was at the game. Leroy who?

Brown?

If he was so ******* good, I say Bring back that Leroy.

PS I too was at the game, I have no idea who we are talking about.

It could be Leroy Sane for all I know.

Well he will next season and let's hope you're still chirping by this time next year.

I had no idea he was ever in them..

There are no could have should haves in football.

The results recently have been good.

Time to cut the bloke some slack.

Says me, anyway.
