I know he’s not on loan, but Janneh played 90 for Cambridge tonight as they knocked Millwall out of the cup 1-0. Honeyman sent off.

The bloke is a bell-end. He makes Ian Gay seem positive about City.

That’s exactly it. As I’ve mentioned it is possible to insert clauses, e.g. “sell-on percentage only applies if sold within original term of contract” so if SS signed a 3 year contract with us and that clause was applied, then it ran out on 30th June 2022.

No, the default is that sell-ones persist through all future transfers unless specific clauses are added. So, Colchester had a sell-on when he went to Peterborough. Colchester and city have a sell-on now he’s moved from Peterborough to Blackburn. Colchester’s “return” is less and less each time, e.g. 20% initially, then 20% of 20% (4%) this transfer. Obviously none of us have sight if the transfer deal itself so all guesswork.

I enjoyed it like I did Quest. Murray is gonna be tough to replace but new guy was perfectly fine. He’s not on next Saturday, we get to see the other presenter instead.

Jordan Jones, Bristol World. Graham isn’t a fan!!! ??? Kalas’s contract runs out next summer. Wiles-Richards not there…but u23s are playing tonight.

None of us know, you could be right. I bet Colchester got a sell on though.

Good thread of updates.

Haha, peak school holiday period, getting extra fans through the turnstiles even at £12.50 is good going.

Sometimes (probably most of the time for games like Hull) the allocation is “sell or return”. But I can’t believe we let Sunderland have a 3338 allocation right off the bat on that basis. We would have to ensure we had police, stewards, catering, etc, etc in place in case they sold the lot…and those costs will remain.

That’s great, that would taje the total to 23k plus. Shame I’m on hols, will be a good atmosphere.

Yeah, agree, the point I was making is that we are very likely to be giving 20% of that to Colchester as part of the initial compo tribunal when he signed for us. So more likely £240k (if £300k is our bit from Peterborough). FWIW, if rumours of £3m are true, I reckon we got £1.25m initially, so I think it’s more like £350k from Peterborough and £70k of that to Colchester, netting us £280k. MacAnthony doesn’t let players go cheap!

City saying 23k sold. I’m guessing Sunderland’s allocation is non-returnable, so even if they haven’t sold all of them, City get the money? Guess that’s why most clubs allocate in smaller batches, then request more?

Is that “ITK” or a best guess like mine? Every example of compensation under PFCC I’ve seen has had a 20% sell-on.

Less £60k to Colchester!

The ref made some shocking decisions against us (well before the penalty), not cautioning their players, in fact one player committed several bookable offences. When you see a Lino flagging vigorously, it’s usually because of a bad challenge…we saw that a couple of times, and nothing. We don’t get the 50:50s, the lack of penalties across 2 seasons prove that. They are key decisions in matches and we get the shitty end of the stick. Ultimately the refs aren’t up to it, and they suck up to the perceived big club / ex-PL club too often.

0.76 xG for a penalty.

Beautiful….thoughts with you. RIP to your dad.

As per above…was he tripped? I could easily argue he wasn’t tripped…that he actually dived, rather than fell because he was tripped. Subtle difference, certainly not black and white is it? Its a badly worded set of “laws”, where from this season the referees have been open in saying “more” (define more?) contact will be allowed. So how are they executing this? Badly I’d guess!!!

?????????? ?????

Yes, an accumulation of fouls on him…Nige mentioned he had a knock in post-match interview.

Contact does not equal foul.

I thought it was a game that ebbed and flowed in terms of who was on top. I liked the early parts of the game where we controlled possession from the back, Naismith making passes into midfield, beating the press and allowing our players to face up Hull. We were relatively solid defensively too, well structured. We perhaps allowed them to play into our half more second half, when first half we pressed them higher and made them go long. They did the same to us second half. We needed to be a bit braver passing into midfield, everyone cone ten yards shorter and then spring them into the channels. We did that once when I think it was Williams got a ball into him and swivelled to hit a first time pass into our right channel for Conway to latch onto. Those types of plays can then result in Hull dropping off and giving us more space again. Stuff like that. Not a slight on you at all Dave, you do a great job in bringing opinion to the masses. I just get frustrated by numbers being put out there with no rationale, no cause and effect, just “we lost because they had 14 shots and we had 10” type stuff…and stated as the reason for the result. As we all know football is much more than that, we’ve seen teams have 80% possession and lose 1-0. We saw a team a couple of years ago win 2-0 without a shot on target (one a keeper own goal to a shot that hit the post, the other a shot going wide that deflected in).

Yep. Abd yet so many fail to take that into account. We dominated decent parts of the first half and bits of the second. Hull the opposite way around. There are also periods in a game where neither team is dominating too…that never gets factored in. If you are of a half-glass persuasion then if City aren’t dominant then you will wrong (imho) taje tgat to be the opponent is. It’s just not the case. Martin under a bit of pressure this season. The glory boy of passing football, yet you’ve got to get results too. You are so right that some of the media “wink” themselves silly over passing football. There is more than one way to play this game.

Re O’Dowda, he did a bit of skill on the touchline then made a simple pass to Sawyers. He deserves a bit of credit for the skill bit.
