The latter one he put wide right especially. Some player though.

Kudos to Joe Williams too.

We've got the makings of a decent side here.

Yeah, that one was the main one I thought of.

A player of his quality should be hitting g the target minimum there.

The header at the end was more a half chance that he did extremely well to direct the way he did, and but for 5 inches or so would have won the game.

Didn't see the first half, decent second half although a huge letoff with that Mitrovic miss at the end.

It is going to be a transition to league one if we don’t start winning home games. We have 2 goals and 3 points from 4 home games. All against current bottom half sides. No one has a devine right to win championship games but you do need to win some. We can’t rely on away form to keep us up

Have home points become more valuable than away ones suddenly?

I missed that rule change.

It doesn't matter where the points are won, what matters is getting them.

The last time fans seen a home win whilst in attendance was the 25th February 2020. We haven’t won at home since January 2021. Strangely both against Huddersfield. The atmosphere has got worse since the rebuild and not being close to the away fans has an impact. But I’m pretty sure it would get a bit better if we could have a few goals and some wins . Our home form is disgraceful and it’s certainly having an affect on the atmosphere. We need a win at home for so many reasons 

Ah, bollocks. We don't play them at home again until December.

I don’t necessarily think it was dangerous driving and thought the same about Silverstone. What all sports fans ask for is consistency and that’s probably why a penalty was given yesterday. 

As far as I’m aware there’s nothing stopping them for taking the engine penalty at Sochi if they so wish. If Hamilton is going to need a new power unit at some point then maybe they could do that at Sochi too as he’d be in front of Verstappen but these engine penalties are farcical and punish the drivers more than the teams like when Honda engine was shit and they regularly had ridiculous penalties like 90 places or something stupid like that 
 

 

Well, it's for causing an incident.

In either case, taking the engine penalty and avoiding the one for causing the crash is still undermining the FIA and shouldn't be possible (and this isn't just a Max thing, I can remember wondering about this when I was younger and thinking it was a stupid way the ruling can be exploited to avoid the intended punishment).

Equally Hamilton could also take his engine change and drop at Sochi too, but if his is fine for a few more races then having to do it so Red Bull can avoid their drivers punishment is still a disadvantage to him because it means he is losing his engine being newer later in the season and having less wear, all to make sure Red Bull don't escape the punishment given to Max.

So Max gets a 3 place grid penalty, if red bull have any sense they’ll bring forward the change of power unit and thereby consolidate their penalties 

If Red bull did that then the FIA should delay the 3 place grid drop because it would be a clear action to undermine the punishment for dangerous driving.

Not sure if there is a precedent for this though.

One day there will be a crash involving LH

and he will get the blame (well may be)

Bit like when he does not win the race its not his fault its the cars or the tyres or ANYTHING else but him

Hamilton was at blame for his crash with Button at Canada 2011, that's one off the top of my head.

There will be others too.

So take your own blinkers off.

Although, after your words on taking the knee one does wonder if there's a connection.

That's entirely Max's fault for me, not often I disagree with Brundle but I can't picture it any other way. Max is entitled to go into T1, Lewis gives him room. As they enter T2, Max is never making that corner, there is no room and he should back out, but he doesn't. And his radio message afterwards pretty much confirms that he knew it was naughty.

Earlier in the race Max squeezes Lewis and Lewis backed off across the infield.

Verstappen lacks the maturity to make that kind of decision and expects everyone to move out the way of him.

The longer this season goes on, the more of a bellend he acts.

Another home game without a win and one of the first posts after the final whistle.

Sad really.

When I was posting the final whistle hadn't gone as far as I was aware.

Cheer up grumpy guts.

Gas lost.

Hartlepool 1-0 up

The concensus seems to be, without sound.

I'd have thought by the referees whistle.

So today there is King vs Earl.

Surely King is the only winner there, clear superior in title.

So Russell to Mercedes.  No surprise but should be interesting to see how Lewis deals with it

There won't be any issues.

It's just the media shit stirring.

Only teammate Hamilton had a notable issue with was Rosberg.

Alonso- nothing (not from Hamiltons end, but Alonso didnt like a rookie outperforming him in season one when he himself was in his prime)

Kovalainen- nothing 

Button- minor argument over the crash in Canada 2011? As would be expected when teammates crash. Other than that nothing of note.

Bottas- put over by Hamilton as his favourite teammate to ghve worked with a day or two ago, very clearly no issues there.

Hamilton is now approaching the end of an incredibly successful career and while he will still want wins will be well aware that part of his remit over the next two seasons is to mould Russell into being the next champion, as his talent is there for all to see.

Unless I miss counted (maybe one out either way) this is Leon Clarke's 19th club in 18 years. (including loans)

 

19 different clubs, but multiple spells at a couple of those (Wolves, Wigan).

When their tickets do arrive they`ll be for the Wael Stand at the new stadium, all will be well in s*gland and we will have to return to being a minor player again.

#theyvecomeforus

They'll probably be sending out the tickets for "Row M" this week

Fouls: Barrow- 16 Bristol Rovers- 16

Go on Joey, tell us all how biased the ref was.

Semenyo’s dive after Morrison tried to tackle him and Antoine nicked the ball around him.  Antoine in fairness could’ve ensured he got caught by Morrison.

Semenyo diving and Morrison getting in his face afterwards

Thanks.

Can't condone Semenyo diving. But the togetherness was good.

Martin looked like he found it amusing more than anything.

What caused the handbags?

2nd half so far Rovers over 70% possession 0 shots.

Barrow 28% possession, 3 shots.

Really good performance by Lando until his crash.

Take a bow George Russell, 2nd slowest car on the grid, 2 place start tomorrow. 

The 10 men have equalised.

Matt Key looks lively and Caprice is seriously rapid! No, not this one...

Sounds like he unlocked their defence a few times.

Decent show, but a watered down compared to the likes of Blackadder, which I think would be fair to call an inspiration (probably a bit strong of a word, but you get the idea).

That said someone more familiar with Shakespeare's work than I would get more of the references and those type jokes.
