    Fair shout to the 87 Fleetwood who turned up! There used to the weather probably handed around fisherman's friends to the quarter hordes so they didn't get a chill poor things!

    Apparently those 87 were given a food and drink voucher on entering the ground,,,,if this is correct then Rovers should be given some credit for that in my opinion

  3. 4-4,,,,,What an absolute joy to watch this, both teams going for it with hardly a backward pass by either team all game, and none of this tippy tappy stuff, football how it used to be played, credit to Luton they were still going for a winner in the 100th minute, they are certainly surprising a few people now, including me, hope they stay up.

    I’ve said for years, the gas majority are happy to stick their heads in the sand and hope all works out well in the end.  I think if the shit they’ve put up with happened here, people would mobilise and the bedsheets would be out in force. Protests, fan ownership etc is never on their agenda.  

    If those ITK’s are correct, they are screwed. 

    lets hope the last bit happens

  5. For those who may have joined this thread without see this,,,,sums up the current situation perfectly in my view.
     

    The trouble is the people in power have done nothing about diving, feigning injury, being completely pathetic with no backbone to clamp down on it. Then we have ex professionals who are pundits saying exactly what you have stated "he felt contact and had the right to go down", or we hear them say quite happily that "he's done well to have won that free kick/penalty", because it is part of the game now.

    When the likes of Drogba, Ronaldo (and many others) started going down like being shot, or any player rolling around clutching their face after minimal or no contact and a replay showed they instigated it, or were not even touched, then retrospective punishment should have came in and all should have been given a 3 game ban. Do it again and it doubles to 6. The likes of Fergie, Mourinho wouldn't have players doing that if that was their punishment, and the smaller clubs couldn't afford players to get banned for it. It may not have been perfect but it would have stopped it getting to where it's at now.

    What's happened to all the grabbing at corners will be a penalty, swearing at the ref would be an instant card, respect campaign, walking off at nearest point for a sub, etc etc etc. The people running the game are just pathetic and will not stand up to anyone near the top of the Prem, then the double standards will come in for a lower club/player and they are happy to do what they want then when it comes to punishment.

    excellent post, also i would add the completely false shaking of hands at the beginning of a game, I'm shaking your hand now but as soon as that first whistle blows I'm going to try and get you booked or sent off
