Unfortunately not much to play for this season! The amount of injuries etc is just a joke

Thankfully we are being refunded.

Reports coming in, Wells was helped into the changing rooms.

[Andrew_V1]

Ignoring the var decision we are once again absolutely abysmal to watch.

we are so bloody negative with no attacking purpose at all. 
 

we have to be one of the most boring teams to watch in any division

Who did HNM come on for? Nipped out and missed the sub.

Wells. 

Losing a cup tie, only 20 mins left so of course you take off a striker for a midfielder.

The rules are shit. 

Your defence of them is even more incredible than the “meltdown”. If you seriously think that warranted a sending off you are smoking something

Thats it - aim  your little tantrum at me

Shame you don’t actually know the rules , shit or not

 

[CotswoldRed]

Best thing you can say about this game is we haven't embarrassed ourselves as much as we normally do. 

Praise indeed. 

[ralphindevon]

Anyone know how many games Mawson will miss? 
He’s been punished enough I’d say

What I think of the rules is irrelevant

People saying it should have been a just a penalty

Ranting about VAR

By the rules it’s a penalty and a red card 

 

For some reason you appear confused

I’m not confused. You appear to be a robot who thinks the current handball rules are correct. It’s ruining the game but hey, carry on trying to defend them. Embarrassing mate

[cidercity1987]

Towler looking decent is the highlight of the evening 

[Berkshire Red]

Towler looking good is a positive maybe?

I can! Have you got a better replay angle than me? From that angle I couldn't tell. 

I'm watching on Bein Sport so maybe.

The meltdown is incredible

Amazed how many don’t know the rules

 

Again someone sprinting will result in their hands being in the air, you don’t sprint with you hands by your side. Was his had in an unnatural position? Not sure. Was the ball hit at him at speed from a close distance? Yes

You can be a rule pedant if you want, but that was hardly appealed for by the players at the time, just decided by some knob jockey in a studio near Heathrow who I suspect has barely played competitive football in his life.

Never disliked a player playing for city as much as I dislike Nakhi. Appreciate he’s a lot better than some of the carp we have had down the years, but he really does not want to be here. 

His body language is lazy and clearly believes he's too good for the club.

He’s a player who thrives on crosses and early balls into feet. We don’t do either of those. He just doesn’t fit our style of play

Good argument.

This is painful once again.

Eh?

 

The ball was hit like a rocket - there is no water on 4 yards away as he is running towards goal to defend that it is deliberate.

If the rules say that is a handball than its completely wrong. 

And VAR - well we all know 99% of people’s thoughts on that nonsense.

It’s a reward not a punishment

****, thought Max was off as well just then!

I would have dragged that ****** off the minute he never squared it to Pato.

[Berkshire Red]

Are we playing semenyo lone striker?

Ypu clearly can’t read either

i should have a lie down or grab a paper bag

[Lrrr]

Is it 1 game for Mawson as it wasn't violent conduct?

Not sure he is defending them but given the rules its an easy decision in the end.

[Mr Popodopolous]

Was a deliberate handball I thought, penalty and red is the decision. Wasn't quite Shaun Taylor in the Cup v Mansfield..

Diedhiou off, Paterson off. Semenyo and Palmer on- feels like a potentially fruitful combination, might have started with Semenyo and Wells in any case.

Semenyo and Paterson left and right, Wells through the middle another one moving forward.

Chasing a game, puts a defensive minded player on 

Think, Holden just wants to keep it at 1 -0, then he came out with usual rubbish, about tight game, battled well against a premier side, to lose to a poor decision, etc etc,
