Dundee Utd v Hibs

[J-C]

Truly truly brutal, LJ can GTF along with most of these players.

[JJP]

Sick to death of this.

[pollution]

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Stuart93]

****ing booooo

[Torto7]

Utter garbage.

Who thought mckirdy, cabraja, fish etc would improve us?

Awful waste of money.

As for the manager - not for me. 3rd place is there for the taking and now we are struggling even for top 6. Shocking

If Johnson doesn’t win the derby next week then he must go.

Fish is fine. I dont know why you've included him unless you wait for one mistake to jump on our players, The other two I agree have been poor.

[Bishop Hibee]

Terrible. Auld man Fletcher has caused chaos. If Hanlon is still out for the derby we need to start Devlin

[WestStandMoaner]

Sack him now. 15 losses out of 31 games has to be unacceptable if we have any ambitions of being a top team in Scotland.
At least 10 players need shipped out too as they are not good enough for Hibs.

Dundee Utd are absolutely terrible and they’ve beat us again.

Almost at my whits end with Hibs and Scottish football.

Sack him quicker than Goodwin that’s what he deserves

[kentao]

Hopefully LJ Does a Goodwin and just ****s off out of Hibs.

[NC1875]

Goin to be some game next week, I’ll be watching from behind the couch

We’ll get pumped off them again, let’s not pretend.

Johnson should be gone tonight.

The players go into that game knowing if you win today you go into the derby with a chance to go above hearts. And that’s the performance you get ? After last weeks shambles as well.

Bunch of absolute donkeys and that includes the manager.

[WhileTheChief..]

Think you'll get your wish, can't see the Gordon family being overly interested in a Scottish football club, that was Ron's dream.

Yeah I'd imagine they are actively looking to sell. No reason for them to stay involved.

Hopefully that's why they brought in McPherson as Chair, to start the search.

Also think it's unlikely we'll see the DoF role happening. That will be the call of the new owners.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Utter laughing stock of a club, every club on a bad run must relish seeing a fixture against us on the horizon.

[skyehibee]

Johnson doing what he does best losing big games.

[WhileTheChief..]

Manager doesn't matter really. Its the ownership that are hurting us. Clueless. Hiring garbage in all areas.

Fully agree again. Scary!!

[Hibernian Verse]

Utter laughing stock of a club, every club on a bad run must relish seeing a fixture against us on the horizon.

And guess who else is on a shocking run…

[Bishop Hibee]

The worst thing about that loss is Utd are such a poor side. Says everything about too many of our players and the manager. Surely sacked if we don’t make top 6.

[Hibernian Verse]

Johnson doing what he does best losing big games.

Harsh to level that at LJ. It’s a club thing. We haven’t won a big game for years.

And before someone says the semi vs Rangers, we lost the final which is what really matters.

[Torto7]

one good thing was Myk really changed our ability to link play. Nisbet was always better with support up front. Next week start Myk, Nisbet and Youan together.

[cabbageandribs1875]

big travelling support

hibs players 'ran the gauntlet' going off says richard

[Alfred E Newman]

1 point from 9 against the team isolated at the foot of the league is pathetic.

[Bishop Hibee]

Harsh to level that at LJ. It’s a club thing. We haven’t won a big game for years.

What does that even mean?

[JammyDoidger]

Can't believe the sheep are going to finish third despite us and hearts taking 6 of them in the same season, disgrace of a season.

[One Day Soon]

A club with our resources and we give relegation fodder Utd only their fifth win of the season. Many wage thieves need shipped out at all levels.

[Spike Mandela]

Can’t keep sacking managers but the last two performances have been embarrassing and unacceptable.

Really struggling to see where this team gets it’s next win this season.

Wish this season would just end and we could forget it even happened.

[JJP]

We will get humiliated again next week but even if we do win we will still be trailing them in the league. These last 2 games were huge opportunities and we have 0 points to show for it.

[JammyDoidger]

A club with our resources and we give relegation fodder Utd only their fifth win of the season. Many wage thieves need shipped out at all levels.

2 against us.

[Real Emerald]

Ref gave us nothing and we couldn’t get a break but the majority of this team aren’t good enough, Youan didn’t have a great game lost out on the wing but with 4 minutes to go he had more chance of making something happen than Jair. We’re could end up heading out of the top six which would be an absolute travesty for a club our size. Midfield not being fixed is unacceptable.

[Hibs90]

Ross is 10x a better manager than LJ ever will be. An absolute charlatan.

[Hibernian Verse]

What does that even mean?

It means we consistently fail to take advantage when opportunities arise.

[Tambo]

I would of took a point in the end but a crazy decision from fish has cost us that point.

Overall not good enough again for 90 minutes and didn't see no reaction when the second half kicked off, should of made subs at half time.

Myko made a little difference but these changes should of been made long before, Nisbet unlucky with his free kick but should be putting us 0-1 up early.

All in all another bad day and missed chance at the office for us and I wouldn't be thinking about top 3 or even top 4/5 right now.

[The Harp Awakes]

From rank rotten managers to rank rotten players. Losers throughout the club.

Massive change in attitude and competence needed in the people who run our club. But when is it going to start? With a DoF or has that idea been ditched? Nobody seems to know and other than the supporters, nobody seems to care.

[SaulGoodman]

one good thing was Myk really changed our ability to link play. Nisbet was always better with support up front. Next week start Myk, Nisbet and Youan together.

That’s what a good manager would do.

[Captain Emerald]

Too many weak minds and bodies in that team.

[Pagan Hibernia]

FT dundee utd's 6th win of the season oh dear

half of them against, well....guess who

not quite half. 2 out of 6.

still rank.

[Torto7]

I don't know where that is coming from. They've not shown any signs of that. It's telling the usual crowd are out whining about the owners again. Funding for the squad isn't an issue.

[Stuart93]

I’d potentially get shot of LJ before he delivers another derby pumping next week

[Ray_]

Harsh to level that at LJ. It’s a club thing. We haven’t won a big game for years.

And before someone says the semi vs Rangers, we lost the final which is what really matters.

So a game against the bottom club is bigger than a national Semi against Rangers!!

[brydekirk]

Foxtrot Oscar hibs

[hibee-boys]

Just not feeling it for Hibs at the moment, last time I felt this way I gave up my season ticket for a number of years. I’d foolishly signed up already for next season given the date deadline, no wonder it was as early as it was as there’ll be a large exodus of season ticket holders based on the inept end to this season.

[Callum_62]

Its one that would be overturned immediately In England

That’s what a good manager would do.

I'm available, just saying.

[Unseen work]

Poor poor goals to concede.

First one I highlighted before the game as an issue and area they would target.

Second goal, I think anyone watching or that has played football is screaming that the gap between EJ and Fish was too big. A huge gap from a throw in, the only place that is ever going is in to fletchers feet.

Criminal stuff.

On the ball, the touch and passing of some players was embarassing

[mcfly]

Fish is fine. I dont know why you've included him unless you wait for one mistake to jump on our players, The other two I agree have been poor.

One mistake??

Gave goal away at tynecastle
Cost us today
Missed great chance at the end so yes I count him in

All about opinions

[Hibernian Verse]

So a game against the bottom club is bigger than a Semi against Rangers!!

I’d rather consistently beat bottom of the league than beat rangers in a one off cup tie.

1 point from 9 against Utd but you keep being happy that we beat Rangers a couple of years ago.

Excellent stuff.

[cabbageandribs1875]

not quite half. 2 out of 6.

still rank.

Mmm thought they've beaten us twice at Tannadice and once at ER :confused: oh well, that's much better then :greengrin

[Dashing Bob S]

What a terrible end to an awful season. United’s first win in 12. Now watch us resurrect a dreadful Hearts side in free fall using nothing more than our own ineptitude.

If Johnson survives this you really have to question the ambition of the board. The fans have been brilliant this season and followed the team in numbers. We are entitled to expect more in such an awful league.

[WhileTheChief..]

Can’t keep sacking managers but the last two performances have been embarrassing and unacceptable.

Really struggling to see where this team gets it’s next win this season.

Wish this season would just end and we could forget it even happened.

We can, and we should, if the manager can't get us results.

It's sticking with duds for too long that causes almost as much damage as appointing them in the first place.

Get rid and try again until we get it right.

[Unseen work]

Losing today also doesn’t surprise me in the slightest.

It’s the feeling of last season “win XXX and we’ll be too 6”

And that win never comes

[Hibees1973]

Anyone out there willing to argue that things have not been a mess with recruitment and management over the last 2 -3 years is delusioned.

Today we were against the bottom side who had not won in 10 games then we rock up. 2 disasterous cup runs and a league campaign of 12 wins and 16 loses is abject failure.

Need to get a coherent structure at the club with people who are qualified in their roles.

Binning the likes of Johnson and his recruitment team who have signed the likes of McKirdy, Henderson, Cabraja, Tavares and loads others is a start. Will cost a fortune to pay off these players as they will not be worth anything in the transfer market.

Today was predictable. Wish I did put my mortgage on Hibs losing. As usual they did give a glimmer or hope for a few minutes or so then this current lot revert to type and let you down again.

Shambles.

It wasn't. Folk are just enjoying the chance to moan. LJ once again arsed the team up. He should have recognised that Utd would likely sit in and a physical presence up front would help. Instead he leaves Myk on the bench and plays the two Thor's Nisbet and Harold.

[SickBoy32]

But let's no pretend that the hampden pumping of the hun wasn't our best result since the cup final

If we hadn't inexplicably sacked JR before the cup final, who knows - we might have won

[WeeRussell]

I thought so too but forgot about Nisbet’s very late equaliser at Easter road in January

RGs wife owns us now. She's never once spoken about the club or had anything to do with it. You think the death of her husband will change that?

I don't know who the usual crowd is you refer to, but I'm not part of any crowd.

I didn't mention anything at all about funding the squad. Why mention it?

[Donegal Hibby]

Terrible. Auld man Fletcher has caused chaos. If Hanlon is still out for the derby we need to start Devlin
Two mistakes by a couple of young inexperienced centre Half's against a experienced striker cost us today, alot to be said for having players like Hanlon and Stevenson .

[SickBoy32]

Agree, however - we really need to replace the guy appointing the managers, before he ruins next season for us too !!

He was forced to play RB at the PBS. Cost us today even though it was a clear dive. He's not in the team to score goals like that.

[PolmontHibby]

So is good season ticket sales.

Yet again against my better judgement dipped in to my pocket for a season ticket....god knows why.
My 2 brothers who sit beside me have not renewed though,,,and they have about 70 years of attendance combined,

[cabbageandribs1875]

I thought so too but forgot about Nisbet’s very late equaliser at Easter road in January


that could be the point that keeps us in the top six :cb

[eastmainsmsh]

What a ***** Centre half pairing that was midfield non Existant again

[Del Boy]

Mental defending from Fish cost us a point we probably deserved, but could have been 2 or 3 down easily before we even got into the second half

[Hibee Daft]

Its a dissapointing result.

But i dont understand people wanting rid of the manager, think about it. He's only got CJ (a right back) and Will Fish to choose from.

Thats what cost us our defence.

Ryan Porteous, Paul Hanlon, Rocky Bushiri all better options.

Its the lack of centre back options that is seriously concerning.

I think Johnson needs the summer, with Rocky and Boyle back and a few additions we'd be a far different team.

[Torto7]

RGs wife owns us now. She's never once spoken about the club or had anything to do with it. You think the death of her husband will change that?

I don't know who the usual crowd is you refer to, but I'm not part of any crowd.

I didn't mention anything at all about funding the squad. Why mention it?

As is her right. From what I understand she seems happy to let MM run things while her son gets more experience of how football operates. The usual crowd are the ones who seem to thing Ian Gordon is kicking a ball around.

[Green-Hibee-7]

Losing today also doesn’t surprise me in the slightest.

It’s the feeling of last season “win XXX and we’ll be too 6”

And that win never comes

I’ll be honest, I cannot be bothered finishing top 6 this season. Complete loser mentality, but I cannot be bothered with 4 pumping by Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeens and Hearts.

[Greenio]

Annoying as **** to lose that

We were not good, but the better team by far

Felt McKirdy should have been awarded a pen, esp if they are giving the one against us, which was basically the same apart from McKirdy had two players on him

Still, I'm not overreacting. I'm done with firing managers on a whim. Makes nothing better.

Im sticking with LJ and think another window where we have a decent strategy in place...ie Jan not last summer....will be good for us.

Hate losing this game though. Such an opportunity missed

Next week, we go again

Disagree totally.

You’ll be in the minority wanting to keep him. He’s done nothing to warrant not getting the sack.

Out league cup group stage
Out Scottish cup first game
Might just might scrape top 6

Not good enough and should go

Bit in bold - just no acceptable really

If he wants to learn about football, away and play FIFA / FM - no messing about with one of the biggest clubs in the country FFS

We absolutely must demand better than this

This isn't 'on a whim' though, is it?

He's been on two horrific runs of losses, been beaten twice by the team bottom of the league, who have won six games all season and looks likely to now finish bottom six.

Add that to the two cup exits and there's literally no argument for keeping him other than 'cant keep sacking managers'

Get him to ****.

It's a penalty all day long! We'd be screaming for it. Fletcher gets to the ball first then Fish stupidly makes contact.There's no contact with his leg and a brush with his arm

Fletcher throws himself down

Literally same contact that nisbet asked for a pen 5 mins later (which was rightly waved away)

Refs can make mistakes but var has to be overturning that

Yeah I'd imagine they are actively looking to sell. No reason for them to stay involved.

Hopefully that's why they brought in McPherson as Chair, to start the search.

Also think it's unlikely we'll see the DoF role happening. That will be the call of the new owners.

McPherson returning to the Board as Chair is depressingly indicative of how this club is run. A safety-first appointment, a relic from the old regime along with Langham.

Not an ounce of ambition about any of them, Just give us your money, and don’t dare question us with anything approaching any vigour as regards the appallingly limited players that we sign.

Dundee United deserved to win that game, should have had the game sewn up before our equaliser. Johnson took far too long to make the changes, 58 mins I think it was before the first sub.
We have a team where the MF has ZERO creativity, this has happened under Johnsons watch and is not acceptable.

Completely agree but in LJ’s defence, it was Maloney who signed Henderson.

I don’t like any of these players, that’s the stand out for me. With no Boyle, I just can’t connect with the players and management team.

[one day maybe...]

Another pie in the sky interview from Streaky where he spouts utter garbage and says nothing about our weak performance.

[h1bs4life]

Johnson can GTF , bizarre team selections then makes strange substitutions.
Myko doing well before he got injured Nisbet back from injury . Both have been fit for a while but never started together.
Time for him to getta take his psychologicists , world class ball boys etc with him .
Like a few others just shelled out £400 for next campaigns season ticket the thought of that clown still being in charge is frightening. Every chance we could be in the bottom 6 this season as well .
That shower over the road are currently on a bad run wonder who they would like to play next ?

If it’s a choice between giving Johnson another window to manoeuvre and adjust a squad or bring in a new manager and start another transitional period with a raft of signings and expectation to deliver an attacking/winning side within a month or so, then I’m inclined to stick with Lee Johnson along with the new DOF (if one is ever appointed)

I’m weary of the let downs from Hibs, but wearier from the cycle of managerial change and upheaval.

Injuries have been very unkind to us this season. Boyle, Nisbet, Hanlon, MacGennis and McGeady have been unavailable to us for most of the season.

Boyle who must be a massive chunk of our expenditure is a huge loss. Without him we are mediocre at best.

[GRA]

Utd have taken over a quarter of their total tally in games against us this season... Just not good enough

Lennon delivered a number of notable / big wins

Since Hecky arrived (and his sidekicks ala newell) - is when the character and passion began to drain out of the club

I am in no way defending BK's running of the club, he has to go for me

:top marks

I'd still being back Lennon. ER is flat, let's get some life back into our club. :duck:

[Callum_62]

There is absolutely contact. Fish's reaction tells you all you need to know.Contact with his arm

I can't see any contact with his semi awkward swipe at the ball

He throws himself to the ground- no contact has caused him to go down

I've watched the replay lots of times and it's so soft it should never be a pen - especially in the days of var

Its another terrible call by VAR

I say that as someone who was shouting at the TV and fish when the pen was given but based on replays var should not be letting that stand

We have brought a situation where we are analysizing event and looking for any contact - watching EPL puts us to shame with var

It hilarious that on one instance boyd saying VAR is embaressing for giving the foul against morelos yesterday and today it's clever from fletcher when there's even less contact than morelos on the celtic rb during the OF match

None of them should be fouls btw

His failure to address our terrible midfield is a sacking offence on its own.

Too simplistic a view imo.

So, we agree that Fletcher got to the ball first then Fish makes contact. So it's a penalty.

They've been given the 30 odd years I've been watching football, before var was even a thing.

Stupid from Fish and an easy decision for the ref to make.

[Ronniekirk]

Well the Doubters were proved right It’s just not acceptable to get beat by a team who hadn’t won in months Can’t even be bothered with the Derby next week on basis of last two performances and results
Just Scunnered by that

[Swedish hibee]

Fed up hearing the same old blah blah blah from managers & players.

[Greenio]

This isn't 'on a whim' though, is it?

He's been on two horrific runs of losses, been beaten twice by the team bottom of the league, who have won six games all season and looks likely to now finish bottom six.

Add that to the two cup exits and there's literally no argument for keeping him other than 'cant keep sacking managers'

Get him to ****.

You could list a string of negatives for almost any manager in the game.

I just don't feel the long term solution is punting a manager and starting the whole thing over every 8 months

[Hibby70]

I can't believe I renewed my season ticket to watch the same bunch of characterless players and management team. There's just no passion or desire shown. 2 of the biggest games to get back into the European mix and we look like we're winding down for a well earned break.

I'm seriously considering asking for a refund off the back of those performances

Did the utd defender get the ball first when nisbet was chasing it and he gave him a slight tug?

None of them were fouls

That's how we are dealing with var and it's utter pish

Il say it again - watching EPL is like a different sport in terms of allowed physicality

Utd got done over with Mains pen a few weeks ago and we have today

Unfortunately right now football is a non contact sport, aye.

Fish knew straight away it was stupid and a penalty.

I'm watching Leeds - Palace now and the ref just gave a free kick for a shoulder to shoulder challenge. The games gone as far as any contact is concerned.

[big gogs]

Yeah I'd imagine they are actively looking to sell. No reason for them to stay involved.

Hopefully that's why they brought in McPherson as Chair, to start the search.

Also think it's unlikely we'll see the DoF role happening. That will be the call of the new owners.
Where are all the millionaires wanting to buy the club,does anyone on here have any ideas who they are.I mean people with real money.will there be a queue tomorrow morning.the manager gets pelters from fans ,but the players must have a good look at themselves .Henderson,mckirdy ,Tavares,I don’t know who signed them,but offer nothing,can I add nisbet to that list,he does not want to be here.am I shocked no,I am 69 years of age ,and seen it time and time again.

[Bishop Hibee]

It means we consistently fail to take advantage when opportunities arise.

It shows we don’t have a Manager and some players who are incapable of either consistency or being any good at all.

[Donegal Hibby]

In fairness we did try and offload Henderson and JDH in January. Wither it's LJ or another manager that comes in , the squad needs to be changed with at least 8 moved on . What I don't want to see is the manager to get replaced by a mediocre manager like Martindale, McInnes or Lennon who will only make matters worse !

[Hibernian Verse]

That’s been the case in most seasons (aside from 4 or 5 probably) since I was born. We are perpetually mediocre.

Experience bought Fletcher the penalty. Just think, we were his first choice when he came back up the road, but doubtless Lee Guardiola couldn’t see what he might bring and the visionaries in the Boardroom wouldn’t sanction spending the £££s.

Lennon is a much better manager than LJ.

I absolutely agree about Martindale and McInnes though. And to be fair probably Lennon for where we are as a club right now.

LJ needs sacked asap though.

[Stuart93]

Some opportunity we’ve had after the games against Celtic and rangers to try get third place and we’ve totally ****ed it.

We were always getting beat today. A team bottom of the league zero wins in 11…step up hibs to gift them what they’re after.

Weak as ****, soft *****.

Sent from my VOG-L29 using TapatalkLudicrous, and without detracting from Hibs' frailties officials have cost us points this season. More on average since var gave multiple refs the chance to do us with the same decisions.

[Lago]

I’ve been behind him all the way but how flat have we looked with so much to play for….LJ needs to go
Me too defended him from the off but it's just not going to happen for him so really need to cut or losses and let him go.

[pollution]

We are as weak as Kestrel lager.

It was 97 days since Dundee United's last league win before today. Just not acceptable.

Problem is we have an elephant in the room: we need new owners.pdq.

[Dmas]

We’re in a bad way anyone who’s job at the club is linked to player recruitment should be in a cold sweat for me, our signing policy has been brutal since Lennon’s time, if we have people in those roles from that time still we should be shifting them on, Jeggo Newell Hyndman JDH slivka the list of same types of midfield players who don’t offer anything is endless, still don’t have a CB better than Hanlon, Stevenson is still the best LB at the club
We’re not giving managers the best chance of succeeding here we can’t just be hiring rubbish managers every time

[Wheat Hound]

The most damning thing is that so many of saw this happening before the game. Any time we go into a game needing to win, we fall short. A team bottom of the league with no wins in 11 = Hibs fail.

[Trinity Hibee]

No win in 10 and bottom of the league. Up step Hibs.

Farcical couple of weeks which have ended the season

[ehf]

Its a dissapointing result.

But i dont understand people wanting rid of the manager, think about it. He's only got CJ (a right back) and Will Fish to choose from.

Thats what cost us our defence.

Ryan Porteous, Paul Hanlon, Rocky Bushiri all better options.

Its the lack of centre back options that is seriously concerning.

I think Johnson needs the summer, with Rocky and Boyle back and a few additions we'd be a far different team.


He knew we needed at least two experienced, reliable central defenders in January but failed to sign any.

Yup…for the moment though the very least we need to see next week is some effort from the players to win their personal battles with their opposite number, and a coherent game plan.

Not sure we’ll get it from this limited group of players or this manager, with whom I’ve now ran out of patience…

…and please Hibs, no fireworks or opera singers, FFS, eh?

Pretty much none of us had heard of Ron Gordon until the day he owned us.

To answer your question though, whoever loses out in their bid to buy Man Utd!

Buy Hibs instead and it'll be a lot easier and cheaper to get into the Champs League :greengrin

[heretoday]

Some of those players should get emptied in the summer.

[Del Boy]

The boy Ayina for United today was good I thought, on loan from Huddersfield. Bit raw but fast and powerful. I would have him ahead of what we have.

How about sunshine running up and down the side of the pitch, dancing all game and having mental outfit changes? And we can all chant “Dee-fence! Dee-fence!” Every time hertz come over the halfway line. Also popcorn and £120 replica jerseys!

I believe that we will win and aw that.

If it’s a choice between giving Johnson another window to manoeuvre and adjust a squad or bring in a new manager and start another transitional period with a raft of signings and expectation to deliver an attacking/winning side within a month or so, then I’m inclined to stick with Lee Johnson along with the new DOF (if one is ever appointed)

I’m weary of the let downs from Hibs, but wearier from the cycle of managerial change and upheaval.

Yet Aberdeen and Motherwell were in freefall And couldn’t buy a win Both change Managers and are doing better than us
The worry has to be he gets another window Recruitment isn’t great and we are still mid table with little improvementDoes he then get the December window
Hearts must be glad it’s us they have next ffs

But yes I know what your saying But there is no guarantee L J will improve things if he stays

Lennon left us in a mess and I actually think that's around the time our midfield started to decline badly and that's not taking into account how unpleasant him leaving us was , he then went back to Celtic and spent over £30 million on total duds and lost out in winning 10 in a row in what was a really bad season.

What really needs to happen first asap is a decent DOF appointed and then the squad needs to be changed with at least 8 players moved on and replaced by quality. I totally get why everyone wants the manager sacked though my opinion is our problems run a lot deeper than just the manager. Maybe everyone will get there wish and he will be sacked though the ones wanting Martindale , McInnes and Lennon or the two latest name's ( kettlewell & Scott brown) aren't coming up with anything decent that I think will fix our team or are any better!!

[mcfly]

He’s done nothing to justify keeping his job….

Out the league cup from an easy group

Out the Scottish cup very tamely to hearts

Struggling to make top 6 when 3rd was a real possibility

The man is a loser - he should be emptied now

talks utter rubbish in his interviews. Not good enough for us.

Please go

Very harsh to include Slivka on that list IMO, guy was a decent player for us when we had a strong squad

Scored a beaut at ibrox too - something jeggo newell etc can only dream about !!

Agree that recruitment since Lennon has been poor on the whole

I'd take Behich too - after a tricky start he look a very decent left back

What I saw wasn't a penalty. Two guys going for the ball, Fletcher dived pure and simple knowing the situation and which you could see in his reaction to it being awarded.

When two players are chasing a ball and there's a slight amount of contact your body doesn't lunge forward arms out in front of you in the shape of a horizontal diver, it collapses in an unnatural manner. It's called cheating and it's become the norm.

Sadly they're all at it nowadays with Nisbet being another today, spoiling the game, yet still referees get taken in with their fannying about.

Your correct ,very few of us heard of Ron Gordon,r.i.p.ron.with all the upgrades carried out recently,I would imagine the purchase price would be a lot more that he paid.the cost of buying out contracts ,bringing in replacements.I hope there is someone out there,but I won’t hold my breath.

I’m not hanging anyone out as rubbish I’m just making the point we are continuously signing the same type of player over and over not just in midfield either full backs centre halfs it’s why we are still relying on guys like Hanlon and stevenson it wouldn’t surprise me to see big Daz on the bench next week the recruitment has been horrific

[Del Boy]

Watched the highlights just now and noticed the ball is not on the penalty spot when McGrath scores the winner.

[cabbageandribs1875]

wonder what we will do with Youan at the end of the season, pay the rumoured(on here) mega fee or.....


he' finally managed to hit some decent form the last several games but like others didn't perform too well today

Well, greeting covers it.
