If the ball was live then Bairstow was legitimately out. If it wasn’t he wasn’t. It is for the umpires to decide whether it was or not. No blame can be attach to Clary who on cstching the ball immediately three it at the stumps. Players appeal for wickets but it is the umpires who decide whether to uphold the appeal. If,as claimed, the square leg umpire was moving to take up position behind the stumps for the next over this would seem to indicate the ball was dead. the spirit of the game is intangible but none the less important. However this is not why England lost this test or the previous one. At Edgebaston our fielding was poor. At Lords our first innings batting was too bish, bosh, bang like T20 cricket rather than recognising it’s a five day match. He result has been two fabulous matches with narrow winning margins for the Aussies. Yes their apparent flouting of the spirit of the game leaves a bad taste in the mouth but the laws of the game have been upheld.

I’m not bothered he’s going. Just needs Delia and MWJ to follow him out of the door so the club can really move forward with fresh leadership.

Unlike Barnes, Duffy and the Bournemouth lad this potential signing doesn’t get me going. However when you are shopping in Poundland this is what you get.

Exactly, the best centre forward to wear the yellow and green. No wonder Sir Matt Busby described him as the best centre forward in Europe. The rest are mere supporting cast.

He might be clueless but no more so than many who post here.

0-0 at half-time so clueless Smith is not so clueless so far.

Webber hasn’t put us in this position, it’s Webber and Co. No manager (other than Colin **** perhaps) would have made any difference to a team that seemed to throw in the towel. Webber is correct to say that it will take several transfer windows to address the deficiencies in the current squad.

This is what haopens when the season is a failure and Webber has p1ssed the money up the wall. The standard is to be a top 26 club and we are currently top 32. Given our geriatric owners does anyone realistically expect things to change?

Right now I can only see two embarrassing defeats for us coming up. The level of squad overhaul required is massive so I have no expectation of it happening. I predicted sn 8 to 12 finish at the start of the season and regrettably that seems to be the outcome. Next season could be even worse. Well done the geriatrics!

Who cares, wére ****e when we want. The club will go on but st what level who lnows.

As we don’t play hoof ball he’s not the right match for our style of football.

I hope we avoid promotion as we would be an excruciating embarrassment in the EPL next season. Looking at the teams that might be relegated from the EPL this season we can forget promotion next season too. I’m hoping we will avoid a relegation fight next season given the squad we might end up with after losing players out of contract and player sales to fill the likely financial black hole.

Circumstances beyond a club’s control is true for all clubs so cannot explain why Burnley have run awY with the Championship whilst Wigan are struggling to stsy in the Championship. A club’s performance reflects the decision making within the club from financing, recruitment, coaching and tactics employed. In our case we clearly have not made enough effective decisions in recent seasons to be particularly consistent in our outcomes.

If only. Highest ever league placings. FA Cup semi final, ground redevelopment etc. Yep, it will be awful to achieve that again.

Great experience for Bali. An experience our squad won’t experience this season.

Shame the team’s performances are ‘t sustainable.

Take the money. Another Webber wonder signing 👍

How about getting behind the new man and giving him a chance? Nah, we’re Norwich fans, we boo when we want.

Get promoted this season? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

They not owned by a couple of fossils and have a head coach who knows what he’s doing.

MWJ after major Botox treatment?

Perhaps Webber should appoint himself head coach. He could then sack himself at the end of the season. 👍👍

Are the fossils in the directors’s box clapping?

A great move for the lad.
