RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted February 19, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 19, 2018 It's amazing what you can achieve with 17% possession and a shedload of resolute defending, when you get a little bit of help from a card juggling ref and a Kyle Walker brain f*rt. Yes, it is quite difficult to thread a pass or shot though nine men in the penalty area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobby Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) Congrats to Wigan tonight. A great result, proving the FA Cup is alive and well. Ok so City rested one or two players but it was still a world class team. Personally I felt it was a red card as Delph was reckless and over the ball. Sad to see the scenes from the City end following the game. There is a thing called losing with grace. Agreed... But you should try looking at the "comments" section of the BBC report of the game online... I can only assume it's the "anonymity" that people have that makes them write some of the bile that has been posted on there, and that's not including the ones that were blocked! Football "fans", eh... The 'net can be a wonderful place but it really does bring out the worst in people, whether on twit(er) or comments section like that Beeb site. I see MSN got rid of theirs for that reason, wonder how long it'll last elsewhere... Would second the congrats to Wigan, if City can't score with 27 attempts they don't deserve to win!

cary hill Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 They've been studying Leicester, then. Obviously not the 2018 version of Leicester who lost 5-1 to City in a pathetic display only a few days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dseagull Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) A 6-2 win tonight for the Stringers against lowly Southwick in a game that should never have gone ahead. Unfortunately, despite the presence of the League secretary and Respect officer, the only person who did think it wasn't waterlogged was the ref. This was the state of the pitch during the pre match warmup... Now we've got to try and get it fit to play on Saturday.

dseagull Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Quite good compared with some of the Division 1 pitches of the 70's! Unfortunately the volunteers (and the tractor...) who will be attempting to put it back together on Saturday morning all date from the 40's... Delighted with the win, and pleased to get a game in when I wasn't expecting it, but you do sometimes wish a bit of common sense was employed. We've got 9 games to play by the 28th April, it wouldn't have hurt to give the pitch a rest last night. Mind you, it did make for some terrific photos from one of our regulars! - https://www.flickr.com/photos/123320724@N05/sets/72157665981450208 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyram Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Great pictures. Thanks for sharing. Meanwhile, on a pitch in much better condition, Derby County’s traditional February - March fall away from the top two continues. Despite creating 25 shots to 9, 10 corners to 2, and enjoying 57% possession we paid for not taking our chances against Leeds. I think they scored with their only two shots on target to twice lead. We were thankful to a scrambled 91st minute equaliser to salvage a 2-2 draw. Five points behind a second place that we held only a couple of weeks ago.

62613 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) We've got 9 games to play by the 28th April Lucky you! We (Stalybridge) have at least 17 in the same time. We were meant to play Ashton United last night, and the game against Workington this Saturday has to be in doubt. Fortunately, most of them are away.

cary hill Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Gianluigi Buffon for Liverpool. Would the great man even consider it.? He might if he desperately needs to top up his pension pot. Isn't this a Stan Collymore generated "story" though? Nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyram Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 The regular "February Wobble" continues into March. Is the deal they remain permanently in the Championship? Probably so the chairman does not have to fulfill his promise of 50% discount season tickets if we get promoted. He has probably given the players a failure bonus.
