Absolutely ridiculous. That’s the problem with referees now - they are not trusted to use a bit of common sense. 
 

“rules are rules” - its absolute nonsense. Yes - rules are there for a reason, but there has to be the opportunity for referees to take a common sense approach 

Had he not booked him - no one would even have mentioned it 

Like the Liverpool / Spurs goal. Play should have been pulled back - but because it was “too late”. They didn’t 

 

Absolutely.  Rules and laws are there to be interpreted.  A player will get booked for lifting shirt because of spectator incitement.  But when you take the facts into account, that this was a personal message from the lad in regards to his passed mother, the referee is in the position to interpret if the rule is in place for this situation.  He could have come to the conclusion that that is not what the rules intend it to be for, and thus, not book the player. 

What in the blue hell was that amazing bit of dribbling from Vyner? 

I watched the game using a feed that shows Robins TV. It was unwatchable for most of the match. I needed up watching Stokes feed which had their own commentary and had no audio/video problems.

We were playing rush back goalie's.

Say it quietly, do we accelerate the Scott sale to finance some squad depth.

Selling Scott doesn't free up much in the wages area which is what City are quite high on.

Twitter is unreliable as a ‘source’ with loads of wild speculation and complete bollocks. There’s only one 100% reliable way of guaranteeing that a player has signed for City - does anyone know what that is?………..

I know that I wouldn't trust the OS as a source. This one time some time ago, it said on there that I was going to get some food vouchers. Did you get your food vouchers?

Who in their right mind would openly try to sell season tickets for next season for a stand that hasn't even had a planning application submitted for as yet. Unless all their intention was to build an even bigger temporary structure. Bizarre. What a strange little club they are. 

They sold tickets for a seat row that never existed in a stand, so I wouldn't be surprised at anything they do.

Just read on the "stadium" thread over there that at least one of them thinks there will be sufficient demand to charter trains in from the outer reaches, on match days.

Some of the locked out arriving.

Taking the piss with 40000 locked outside, but 400000!!!!!!

'kin 'ell!

 

 

Yup, 40,0000 gasillion.

If that was outside them Mem, it would be absolutely ruined, what with 40,0000 gas heads locked outside.

Where was I?

That can't be the Mem because if it was, there would be a crowd of about 40,000 outside those locked gates.

The award should be renamed Manager For a Month and given to Bilic. 

Watford hold their own " manager of the month" competition.

1000 away games means nothing, if one of them isn't Stoke on a cold Tuesday night.

The team don’t have a kit to play in, what do you expect them to do? 

If it weren't for those meddling kids stealing the shirts off the players backs after matches!

Sunderland commentary team was positive about us and in particular how we moved the ball out through the back line. I think they’d made a comment not many teams manage to do that at the SOL. 

Did you hear one of them call us "Birmingham City" during the match? Made me chuckle.

Thought the Disney Corporation would be making a bid?

Only the club up the road would accept Mickey Mouse bids.

Humour, like taste in film & music is completely subjective, isn’t it?

More people like Mrs. Brown’s Boys than ever watched Monkey Dust or The Larry Sanders Show, for instance.

I’ll therefore try not to be too unkind here but reading the same obvious (unfunny) stuff is pretty tiresome, so once a thread descends into things like “udderly brilliant” or the same rubbish pun someone had already said about 6 posts previously, I’m off.

 

I've read this 3 times and I still can't figure out the pun here. 

Chris Martin and Timm Klose have left the club by mutual agreement. 

The club would like to thank them for their service and wish them all the best for the future.

Collins to Boro 2.5 million apparently.

That's in Tillsons, right?

Loanees usually have a large chunk of their wages paid for by the parent club.  As I said, I would prefer developing youth players, however, the majority of League One and Two clubs do rely on having half a dozen players from the loan market - that's the way the finances are managed these days.

Gold star for the club South of the river, who's enormous losses are bankrolled by their billionaire owner - you are not comparing like for like.

SL has also pumped an extremely large amount of money into the infrastructure. Massive stadium improvements, the Big performance centre. What's your owner spent? I don't think he's bought a single player, has he?
