  1. Ole I might be wrong and I don’t see all of your reports but it does certainly read like your dislike of COD is more personal, certainly your comments about him come across that way.
  2. Even if they're not breaking rules, what is the actual point apart from being antagonistic? At best, it could be a good way of getting yourself banned from press conferences or needlessly souring relations with a club over a question you know they con't answer. At worst, it could be contempt of court.
  3. If you're hoping for some sort of weird scandal on this I'm afraid you'll be sadly disappointed. I don't know what the exact reasons are why there's been no major news coverage of that specific topic, but look at Google. All of the results are from overseas. That suggests there are some kind of reporting restrictions in place, which is far from unusual.
  4. Saw someone mention McInnes. I don’t think we can light too many candles for the man who brought in Pearson, Foster, McManus, McGivern and so on. They might have been cheap Scottish imports, by and large, but they were largely bad apples. This group works as a collective and what we sometimes lack in quality we are beginning to make up for in steel, which I think we appreciate all the more because we’ve seen so little of that in the past few years. There’s always going to be some people who don’t rate the job NP is doing, you can never please everyone and not everyone gives two thoughts about the context of our indifferent season. But it says a lot that even with our penchant for conceding late goals - when the anger will still be bubbling by the time weary fans type in OTIB.co.uk - there isn’t the chorus against Nigel which I am certain we would’ve seen at this point were LJ or Holden in the dugout. For the cup run of 17/18 and the play-off pushes, Nigel’s plan feels as strong as any of that despite where we are in the league, and despite having barely a pot to piss in to bring in new additions.
  5. Right report showing now - apart from saying Weimann's goal came after their second!
  6. Don't worry, if Russia invade Ukraine it might all be over soon.
  7. Agreed, don’t think he was great but he did a lot of running and being wasteful in the final third was something you could level at a lot more than just COD. I’m sure calling him O’Dawdle is meant as a joke but it’s a bit odd.
  8. Does that not imply all “regular” midweek games are ok the red button?
  9. Agree on Vyner at times, but can see why he gets some stick. He's just not very strong for a centre-back.
  10. Gave it a good go. The sort of game you lose when you're a lower mid-table team, sadly. Couldn't argue with the effort, could definitely argue with the end product. Really poor in both boxes. Thought Pring, Kalas, Massengo, Weimann and Martin were decent. Dasilva not bad either. Not much else though.
  11. Max has made some great saves in the brief time he's been with us. I've not seen enough of him to put tonight down to his inability to command his area - or six-yard box. But it certainly wasn't an encouraging display for the first goal.
  12. Beyond my pay grade unfortunately. But I'm pretty sure every game which isn't bound by the Saturday blackout is fair game, so long as it's not already on SSF. That's the general gist we got from the video guys when this contract was announced anyway.
  13. Trust me on this - as far as I’m aware, every Tuesday night game is either on SSF or the red button. Please do bring this up if I’m wrong and give me pelters. Equally, if anyone wants a friends and family deal on Sky, DM me.
  14. Didn’t think he was poor in general decision making, but very generous not getting his card out for time wasting until they were really taking the piss.
  15. Did anyone read the article? They’re being given to good-Samaritan organisations. And Adidas are putting their money into safe spaces etc too.
  16. I'm pretty sure the idea of this is to stop the opposition creating a scoring chance and only having a foul to deal with, rather than playing the rest of the game with 10 men.
  17. Totally moronic second yellow. And didn't he get booked for dissent for the penalty? Of all the decisions to kick off at, one that the referee actually got right. He's right, he should know a lot better.
  18. Didn't think it looked a pen in real time, but didn't see Scott getting caught in the face or quite the way Dunne caught him in the leg too. Nailed on, but no surprise the incompetent ref didn't give it.

    Did okay. Not a game to really give him a huge assessment on - a couple of moments I felt nervous about his handling, especially in the first half, and one early moment he punched when he should've held, but generally solid.
  20. This balance sheet was to the end of May - they first went on sale on April 12 so that's 6-7 weeks' worth of income for this year's tickets, and whatever amount the club kept from fans' payments last season as you mention. Not a bad tally given the state of the pandemic at the time and the short time period.
  21. And Lee Johnson is *checks notes*... 40.
  22. It's amazing what you can do with investment and quality players!
