I'll repost what I've put on the osp minutes thread which is relevant to this thread -
Latest osp minutes.......
Year of the tiger replied to Greavsy's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Interesting on away coach travel it was suggested that a previous discount scheme could be reintroduced? Very strange that the panel, supporters& staff appear unaware that you get a free coach trip with 10 stubs which applies to all travellers, season ticket holders or others. -
Season tickets over 65?
Year of the tiger replied to dylanisabaddog's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Interesting I'm pretty sure it used to be 31st August but these things change. Like the time they brought our the season ticket flier on my 60th birthday,changing concessions to over 65 & they'd used my photo on the flier!! Lucky I'd bought 3 years in advance & they had to honour it. -

Believe its the date at start of season. PS How did my junior get to be that old 🤣 -
Wagner and the strange selections
Year of the tiger replied to dylanisabaddog's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
In fairness to Wagner, I saw the ref show the yellow card to Sainz in the aftermath of the Sargent goal. We assumed for kicking the ball into the stand, (an offence he did not punish the QPR 30 for doing exactly the same after the first goal). -
"Whoopsie"
Year of the tiger replied to cambridgeshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
What makes it even funnier is that they managed to stuff up signing two players the year before because of similar incompetence. -
Nothing to do with us obviously but Martin Keowns analysis of Man U was so familiar. Spoke of the problems of not having anyone sitting in front of the back four & also lamented the tactic of one of the midfielders dropping in beteeen the centr backs to make a back 3. It seems to work for Man U as well as it does for us

TWTD - You horrible lot
Year of the tiger replied to dylanisabaddog's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Bizarrely a pair of glasses came flying over my head & onto the roof in front when we scored the second goal. Oh & if you want w****r signs Paul Mariner was vert adept at them whilst pulling down his shorts -

You have of course watched the Man City youth in the two u21 games? The very notion you suggest him clearly means you haven't. Way of first team level at present -

Year of the tiger replied to cambridgeshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
As someone who was actually there I'm amazed by some of the comments. The pace the ball came in ,I do not believe Haarland would have scored. He had zero time to adjust. I was far more disappointed with Onel's tame back pass after a good move opened up a real clear shot. Also Adam did a great deal better than the man he replaced who was invisible -
This is not a reaction to yesterday. I said last season although Gunn was playing quite well, our results were better with Krul. I don’t think Gunn marshalls his defence well. He is a decent shot stopper but some of his positional play is questionable.

City squad age
Year of the tiger replied to Year of the tiger's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Probably said the same thing myself but a balance is needed.We’ve been here before in 2016/17 with an aging squad but we did have a couple of assets to sell & then we’re able to recruit from Europe -
I’m aware that footballers keep themselves in better condition these days. However I do worry that, by November, 11 of our 25 man squad will be 30 plus. This does suggest an almost all or nothing approach this season as at least some will have to be replaced next season. I assume the thinking is that some of our u21 signings will replace (if prove to be good enough) but it’s a bit of a gamble. certainly yesterday our aging central defence looked every day of their age against young quick attackers. I also worry that 4 of our 25 are goalkeepers, take out our injuries & we do look threadbare
