A shirt being pulled

Amazed Kakchunga is being criticised today , he like the rest of the team was a solid 7/10. The pen was stonewall I was going mad at lines man when thought it was not given he had a perfect view. Also had to be a red as was a shirt pull. Thomason was good but looked shot at end surprised Morley did not get last 10 Agree with Evatt that we did not make enough of some very good positions but given overall performance not a massive issue but on another day could have been

Have you explained the importance of booing ?

Any good team (apart from Brazil in the 70s) starts from the back. Walker is fast but makes mistake, but good enough at RB. Stones can play but not a top level defender not in best 2 centre halves at his club. Other 2 positions we are weaker, because the back 4 is weak you need 2 Defensive Midfield players or we get over run. Up front you have Kane who is IMO a world class number 9 but plays deeper and deeper, still good but not as effective. Sterling is the worlds most frustrating footballer his record is hard to fault as Gonzo points out but if it comes to one crucial moment in a game I always think he will mis control the ball, take on an extra man and then run like a waddling duck. Foden looks brilliant in bits but never dominates a game. Grealish as Foden but does not look brilliant as often. Watching City he plays in very safe 99% of time. I just do not think we are that good, add in a manager who is not inspiring it is a shit combination. Bellingham looks very good but if we need 2 DFMs whoever else is in there has a tough job.

Maybe remove his name from the thread title too ?

TBF given we have paper tickets not sure they can be cancelled remotely . Do we get the fees from the booking refunded too or just ticket price ?

I did say it was still a fuck up,😂😂but the other 5 just watching it happen look like pub players.

Oh dear

TBF to Dixon he has gone to his right anticipating ball being played to the lad walking through the middle. The other 5 players could also close someone down. Still a fuck up though

I agree but for the 10-15 minutes before half-time it was better to have Dempsey on the pitch.

The highlights on Sky are weird, does not show any of the 3 big chances we missed but it does show 2 over hit crosses

I thought we were great today. The 10 minutes before half time we rolled up our sleeves and got stuck in. Second we came out and played to an increased tempo and fully deserved the luck.

I have gone shorts, was not sure if jeans still fit 😂😂

I will be wearing long trousers for first time in about 4 months today (apart from a wedding) I have a spare ESL ticket if anyone wants it. 4 out of 5 Yorke whites not going today !

Can you move to dates of FGR game ?

My point really is that results like last night show improvements even from last year. I was underwhelmed by our transfer activity and not convinced by the 'we held on to Santos etc' talk but MK show what happens when you lose your best players. All positive.

Team on the up and the Head honchos family see up for it.

I give you Fleetwood , Accrington and Burton away last season add in Hartlepool in the shit cup .

Split ticket site we bought Cheltenham tickets from are doing a full refund. I do not have details of ticket type but fair play to them that is more than good of them

Just to be clear not all football was cancelled Eton College went ahead with their game. One rule for them. Just wondering having watched the various tributes paid at events across the country if people think football would have done as good a job ?

I have heard the Leeds Rhino players have been refused re entry to the country after playing France last night for that very reason. There is a go fund me page been set up to buy some rubber dinghies so they can get back that way especially as Pritti is no longer involved.

Wanting the games to be played is not about disrespecting the queens death. It would have been an opportunity for people to come together. The real life example is the West Ham fans on Thursday. On the train tickets we have booked 4 tickets via a split ticket site so any refund would need to be agreed by the site in agreement with all train operators who would need to be convinced that we were cancelling our Ilkley to Cheltenham tickets because the Bolton game was off. Next time we are booking direct with @Traf tours !! 😂😎

Probably better to look at later posts if being a clever cunt. ( me not you Steven)

Do you honestly think if we had to UEFA and said no football for a week they would have said no ? We have 10 days mourning but the football authorities have decided that we we use first 4 then start playing again. Presumably be with minutes silence at each game. First game will be scousers at home in Champions League. My point is it would be just as valid to play games this weekend let people come together to show respect as per Govt guidelines and as other sports are doing. On a separate note just seen Charles greeting people outside Buckingham Palace. If it was me I would 100% be wearing the crown 24/7.
