East Londoner

So he’s reffed us twice this season and missed what should’ve been a penalty in both games..

It is worth pointing out that Solanke cost Bournemouth £20 million which is more than our starting eleven combined but then again basics like keeping the ball and actually finding your teammate do give you a chance 

One observation from today, i didn’t realise just how plastic Bournemouth has become, they’re only the second club after Fulham I’ve seen give out clappers to try and generate an atmosphere

If this is going, then I'd love one! But no worries if not  

It’s yours if you want, dm me your address and I’ll get it posted to you 

Received mine through the post today but already have one as went corporate for the Boro game.
 

If there’s any non season ticket holder holder who’d like a copy I’ll happily post it to you. First come first served 

Because they don’t have international breaks?

Didn't a few fans sit on his car after the game waiting for him?

Was Andy Davies wasn’t it?

He likes to pretend he never played for us though 

The club could also be more creative with what constitutes a season ticket. As most midweek games are now available on sky even if the quality is poor they could consider just a Saturday games season ticket for example

About as much chance of Dan Bentley scoring a hattrick. I think we discussed this a few weeks back and it's clear there are legal, political, optical, and financial issues that would need to be sorted, and they won't be. 

 

Besides he spent two years trying to sell it, and nobody apart from a fake sheikh was remotely interested for some reason

Is Max Verstappen the luckiest driver of all time? He’s the whiniest that’s for sure 

He’s had some good luck and some bad luck, he got a little lucky tonight whereas Sergio and Lewis had bad luck 

Surely though now we have these new cars they can ditch DRS which brings fake overtaking 

According to the sun George Clooney wants to buy them now. They’ll have to change their name again

Let's be honest how often has that happened 

Fear of missing out and all that..

I think you've got something there.

And if you spend a season where you've attended (say) only half the home games in person, why continue to buy a SC?

Not missing out if the unexpected happens and it’s a good season or a big cup draw most likely

The word "deadline" has lost all meaning in terms of the Derby matter. It now lies in a grave alongside the word "imminent". The English language is the real victim in all of this.

Maybe they’d be better served swapping the word believe with hope and hope they’re in a position to announce. 

Although it seems Derby's fans think once they have someone willing to buy the club they’ll immediately be able to start signing players. And are assuming HMRC will say they’d be delighted with only 25% 
 

Is there any rules for how quickly they can enter administration a second time? Given the level of debt and lack of assets and amount due to HMRC that might be their best bet 

Coming home by default then if no one else bid for it. Should pull out and say if you won’t back us with a World Cup bid we won’t host your second rate competition

It’s the Karen factor 

Marko is just as bad if not worse

That tantrum at the end from max was hilarious

That one is on you Karen! - you enable your little brat for 2-3 years like he has done and that is the result.

Vettel was the same during his Red Bill days and weirdly once he joined Ferrari he came across as a decent guy and continues to do so. Maybe it’s the environment there

Remember he has already said there is a conspiracy by referees against them to add to all the other conspirators.

I saw the second half and the penalty they were given was very soft. Otherwise I don't recall any other penalty claims.

There’s a whole thread on their forum on how they’re the victims of some conspiracy to ensure they get relegated by denying them penalties etc etc. They’re world class at playing the victim I’ll give them that 

Couldn’t be bothered to register to point out its actually the standard of refereeing and they’ve been given more than we have

We have assembled a team of talented sport scientists, strength and conditioning coaches, performance analysts and psychologists to help optimise performance on and off the pitch.

We sure they didn’t go to Ipswich too 

Thought this might get lost in the match day thread but does anyone know if the club uses or has used a sports psychologist?

I’ve thought for years O’Dowda has been crying out for one (not literally of course) and lots of the last minute and injury time goals we concede suggest that others in the squad might do too as they’ve been a mental thing like getting deeper and deeper or making really poor decisions 

So the Abu Dhabi report is out and it tells us nothing we didn’t already know. Quite why that took till March is anyones guess but would’ve been nice to have heard from Michael Masi about his thought process as we’ve heard from everyone else
