Guessing some site like Hesgoal will have it on then?

Yeh, I've got a few sites lined up, will share anything working on the match day thread.

https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/fulham-emirates-fa-cup-tie-set/

The match has been selected for overseas broadcast which has determined the lunchtime kick-off time.

Think i read it's being shown internationally so could well be a dodgy stream or 2 about.

Nothing live domestically as far as i am aware 

He seemed timid from the off today. We know he has talent and ability but today he looked as surprised to be there as we were when the team was announced.

I'm sure he'll bounce back, particularly if he's staying around the 1st team.

No Mans Sky probably ticks a few of those boxes. It has a casual mode where you can do whatever you want. Not free though, about £10 on PC.

I reckon he'll get goals there. Good move for all.

This loan was to "prepare him for a league loan" in Jan due to a lack of U23 fixtures.

What they expected out of this loan i don't know. Just match fitness or a chance to impress potential loan clubs?

It does sound as if the next loan move is already lined up anyway, well possibly, depending how you read it.

Really frustrating end to the year. So many things to get annoyed about but you have to take heart in the performance, really good effort and probably one of our best overall 90 mins of the season.

Shame the ref spoilt a really good 45 for us.

Come out flying with intent again and we can still win this. If someone could stick one on Austin, I'd appreciate it!

No real surprise.

Probably makes for a happier Boxing day in all honesty!

Promise not to mention your CEO

Do you want responses in this thread, if so, here goes!

From my perspective, Andi has had a mixed season performance wise.  You know you’re always gonna get tonnes of energy, but he’s been a bit inconsistent.  Perhaps that is to be expected for a player who missed virtually all of last season due to rupturing his ACL versus Swansea.  When he joined City he told us he wanted to play centrally, started the season on fire then on the return of Diedhiou from a 6 game ban he then played behind Famara and then shunted to the right wing.  Over 18/19 and 19/20 he found himself playing more on the right wing than the forward positions, but hit more than respectable numbers (10 goals / 5 assists & 9 goals / 7 assists), and I think some fans forget he’s not really played in his best / favourite position.  Last season saw him play as one of Dean Holden’s two “high-flying 8” in a 352 (Jamie Paterson the other) as City started the season on fire.  Weimann not only providing the legs, but also the driving runs that midfield markers hate to track.  It was no coincidence that Weimann’s injury saw us start to drop off the pace, same when Pato got injured too.

This season he’s played every minute bar a late injury time substitution, and has notched 9 goals and 4 assists, but his versatility has seen this split across right wing, secondary striker, no10 and in recent weeks back in a no8 in Pearson’s recent swap to a 352.  With Weimann, everything is done at pace, and sometimes that leads to frustrating misplaced passes when a calmer head finds its target.  But for a player who often rushes things, he does finish calmly.  Saturday’s first-time side-foot finish from Semenyo’s cut-back and a similar one against Barnsley shows how cool he can be.  His technical volley at Cardiff shows another side.

There is no doubt that with a weaker squad this season, the expectations from him are high, and perhaps the inconsistent team performances have contributed to highlighting his own mixed bag.  Having said that, 9 goals and 4 assists in a struggling side should not be tainted by performance.  A lot of strikers where putting the ball in the net is the only requirement would be happy with that return…Weimann give you much more than that…just not every week this season.  As it stands he is gonna smash his best season for us.

I would play him centrally as a forward.  I think we need a bit more discipline from our midfield, as a forward he can roam and that’s what I think benefits the team.

If you would like any more info, opinion, please shout.

What, not a single stats graphic Dave!

Come on, treat Mr Bloom.

Hamdled the CEO situation well 

One of our more consistant players during his time here.

He's not spectacular on the goals return although looks like he is on course for a personal best this season and also for us. I do find he is either perfect and clinical in his finishing or it's a terrible effort.

Runs all day. Can play in midfield or wide and we've utilised his as much if not more in those positions than acutally as a striker. He can look a little exposed having the ball in deeper areas but useful on the break, sometimes his passing is a bit off, or poor first touch but that's why he plays for us and not higher.

Always moaning at the ref too, contests nearly everything but i quite like that.

Overall, good player for us.

Still so proud of those cup performances.

Both our goals that night were top quality, particularly the 1st, superb football.

Wonder if Man U have a 4 years ago thread on their forum...

“Is it a personnel issue?”

”theyre the players that we’ve got, we have what we have, unfortunately for us it cost us very dearly today” 

I thought that was actually aimed at the wider squad tbh and not singling out the defence. He did say the defence lacked the courage to play out from the back until the end of the game and it's an area we are weak in at some point.

I'd like to hear the interview again though.

Club condemned it. 1 person ejected and handed to police.

Hopefully nothing further from the F.A.

His mobility or lack of, undermines the better player he is or once was.

In his defence, we do still continue to almost exclusively launch it long at him. That might be in part due to the aforementioned mobility, he's not going to break the line is he.

Still think if when he drops into recieve the ball, it went to his feet and you get people around or beyond him we'd be able to appreciate him more and would play more to his strengths.

If Pearson wants that kind of player in the team every week, we need to go out and get a younger or quicker verson.

Another frustrating watch. Huddersfield your average Championship side but yet again we make things difficult for ourselves. We are our own worst enemy at times.

I assume that was in the longer version of the interview, as I only listened to the abridged version.

Would you be able to provide a brief summary or indicate at roughly what time it appears?

Thanks 

It was.16 mins in. Pretty blunt about it.

So KP not doing enough in training. Putting it politely?

Good news on King. Thought previously he was out until the new year.

He should just hurry up and name the caretaker on 1 year rolling deal but he doesn't work like that. Still a few weeks before he does.

He was. Adjourned until March 18 2022.

Would feel for the groundstaff though, 6 pints of cider mixed with a covid jab could get very messy 

Free pint with every jab! Get a few more jabs done that way.

No doubt some would go back for seconds!

Why dont they also setup mobile vaccination stations at grounds this weekend if they are going ahead with it?

For us...

Goater?

We talking global football here or English game?
