Not sure I've seen anyone say it but that point for Wigan makes Cardiff's relegation slightly more likely. In case anyone needs a little silver lining.

Excellent

It's mad isn't it. You'd think people would learn by now that it takes players time to get up to speed - whether that's a new club (Cornick) or match fit after an injury (Weimann).

Precisely. Cornick showed some good touches last night-it’s lunacy to write him off already.

Like most I was impressed with Mehmeti but I do wonder whether his lack of game time playing with us was a factor.  I noticed Pearson was constantly asking him to move from his more central position.  I would hope that given more game time we will see and even more dynamic performance to affect the game.

here he is . I love how I get under your skin & to be honest you deserve it . The character assassin supreme. Couldn’t  wait to have a dig at a player that’s hardly pulled on his boots for us . I really would hate to be you .

Oh you really do need to look in the mirror when it comes to a keyboard warrior seeing how you spread lies about Pearson

Back on track. 

I watched the game on Robins TV for the first time, it was OK. Decent camera coverage and commentary. 

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned before but late second half but that McClean character, whilst fouling into the back of Sykes deliberately racked his studs down the right ankle/achilles. 

Very naughty and surprised the officials didn't spot it. 

ps before I edit, not surprised the officials didn't spot it.

Bizarre highlights from Sky on the game.

Missed both of the city chances that hit the woodwork.

Instead showed the easy Max save, and the backheel from Cornick to Weimann that came to absolutely nothing.

I've had to wait until the official youtube video from the club before seeing Scott's header, and Mehmeti's cross shot again.

All a bit weird on Sky's part.

We also had our usual 60 seconds on the EFL show as well, even when we beat Norwich the other day we had 90 seconds at most but I bet if the result had gone Norwich's way they would have shown 10 minutes and spent the same amount of time waxing lyrical about them. I often half jokingly say if we made the FA cup final they would decide not to televise it that year :laugh:.

Ever heard of Google.............? It really is extraordinary the information that can be gleaned.

Never thought of that ... maybe we should all just use Google and stop posting on OTIB

[maxjak]

I tend to  use OTIB for discussion and opinion, rather than fact checking..........but it's all about personal choice?
