Insane. Staggeringly insane.

I stopped going away regularly once I became a Dad 14 years ago. It wasn't do much the expense as the fact that it took out a whole day. Since then away days are generally done to coincide with visiting relatives or friends around the country and making a weekend of it, so we'll all go, but not everyone would go to the game. I can't remember the last time I went there and back to an away game in a single day.

Oh no it doesn't.

It'll be 4 points won't it?

Ref was right "by the rules". Sainz was stupid. A second yellow was a stupid outcome. All of these things can be, and are in this instance, true. It might not be in the rules, but it's absolutely the case by precedent that there is a higher bar for a second yellow than a first. Anyone who actually watches football will have seen literally hundreds of examples of players on a yellow doing something that would 100% have got them booked if they did not already have a yellow card. Today should have been one of those instances but for a traffic warden with a whistle, picked last in PE, loser of an official. Sainz was an idiot to give a pathetic little ghoul like that an opportunity to flex.

So you're saying Sainz could have given the w@nker sign and escaped punishment? I need to revisit a couple of my Sunday League fines...

It does prove he's a traffic warden style ****.

You might also want to look up irony as well after that 🤣

Will he be calling him an idiot in hindsight?

I'd wager I have a much, much clearer idea of what fundamentalist means compared with your grasp of the word hindsight.

Wow. There's literally no point engaging with a fundamentalist like you. You literally only read what you want to see rather than what's there.

You ignore it then, thanks for answering my question.

Hindsight? I love it when the happy clapper brigade play the hindsight card, despite the fact that loads of people criticise these decisions at the point that they happen. Do you guys just ignore that fact? Or do you not know what hindsight means?

The ref's stupidity made it hard to get anything from the game. Wagner's stupidity made it impossible.

Like that lineup, I'd be inclined to give Fassnacht a run at 10 as I think he's better suited there and Barnes has been cack since he returned, but can't grumble.

PMed you.

If you're using the 2021 census as your marker, then not yet; there was a comfortable theist majority.

It's a pretty simple point. We are better without Kenny McLean in midfield. The results back this up. Some people have trouble admitting this. I'm not even one of the Kenny Hate Club, I've been pretty consistent on here with calling him a decent Championship player (he was involved in two titles FFS) but that the fact we relied on him so heavily in the Prem was a big factor in why we were so easily relegated twice. Sadly this season and the last he hasn't been able to recapture his old Championship form. He hasn't been dreadful and has been put in a role he's ill-equipped for, but for months some of us have been concerned that Kenny at DM is a big problem. He's not playing DM and results have improved markedly. Part of it is also down to the job he's doing at CB for sure, but another part of it is that Nunez is doing a better job in Kenny's previous position. Is that so hard to admit?

Is it more or less sad than those who can't hold their hands up and admit they were wrong about him being essential to our midfield? Moving him to CB was a smart move. Dropping him from CM was even smarter. No one was calling for the former, but those calling for the latter were spot on, weren't they? You can admit that, can't you?

Not entirely sure what part of "I certainly didn't boo and didn't like hearing it" you failed to grasp. Maybe the bits that weren't in crayon?

Here's a question for you; given his obscene salary, if you could press a button that ended his contract and got him off the books with zero compensation, would you press it?

So the lucky to avoid a red mob were massively over-reacting?

I prefer him on the wing. I'd like to see Fassnacht as a number 10; other than the very start of the season he's been cack out wide.

What happened? I managed to miss this incident. I did take a **** second half.

There are several different ways to say our midfield is better without Kenny in it, and that our side is better without Kenny in midfield. If that's the one that the one you choose to use, then go for it. I only hope the way Wagner sees it is sufficient enough for him to avoid blasting a massive gunshot wound in our team's foot by reverting to Gibson LCB and McLean CM.
