Lucky initially but a really good cross. Espanol's first goal wasn't bad either!

This sounds like bollocks as well. Why would an English football team owned by Indian Hindus make all food be halal?

Late entry for post of the year!

Bolton - a club on the up, that might be in the Championship next year, bigger crowds than ours and a largely united fan base. I'd take becoming another club like that compared to the shambles we have become. And why the hell would the EFL award us the points!

And we can still cling on to the fact that we've won it more recently than that mob up the road.

Missed this game due to car breaking down. Hadn't realised how naught Gallacher's tackle on Carbone was prior to the sending off.

One of my favourite penalty awards - a very rare one where all the Wimbledon players just react with a shoulder-shrug and 'Yep that's a penalty' Can you imagine today - they'd be screaming for a VAR check just in case there was a feather touch on the ball or some other technical reason to overturn the decision.

The likes of Andy Todd would have fitted in well 😀

Just watched highlights of the Sunderland v Bournemouth match. Sunderland certainly have some players skilled in 'shithousery'!! Managed to wind Bournemouth up so much there was a mass 'loss of heads'!

It's the age old problem of players not managing their actions to the circumstances. Under Sparky I remember Lucas Neill being sent off for a second bookable offence. It was a soft second booking for a challenge in the centre circle. When Sparky was interviewed afterwards he blamed Neill entirely for giving the referee a decision to make when there was no need to. Ditto Hedges yesterday.

What about Sweeney? At least there'd be a better supply of pies on the concourse.

They probably didn't realise until.....now what date was his last game?

I loved the QPR fan (DAVMAN) comment below the article. Now he's a real football fan!

Newcastle in the Cup? Or Celtic in the Anglo-Scottish cup when it is revived 😉 And surely the pre-season game against Barcelona is already being worked on by someone at the club?

No.....just a contrarian 😉 Seriously, I know he was a complete knob, but I was 14 that season and he was a hero just for that time. I took the username as a reminder that childhood heros don't always age well!

Considering the importance of the game, our previous playoff traumas, and going two down so early, this is, in my view, the best Rovers (pound for pound) performance I've seen. I wasn't lucky enough to see the 5-2 Plymouth game which I guess is the nearest comparison. I worked with quite a few Derby fans at the time and they were very fair about this game. One of them memorably said "that was the luckiest 4-2 defeat we've ever had. You absolutely battered us!"

That has to be one of the worst decisions I've ever seen. We were on the Riverside and we all went 'but Newell was behind him when the ball was played'

I bet you can't guess who gave the one vote for Andy Crawford! 😉

On what basis? He may end up better than Scholes, who knows? But better now than a player rated as the best of his era by many top European players?

My take on it is that Adam is probably the more naturally talented player but, AT THE MOMENT, Anderson is being very effective for England and clearly fits with how Tuchel wants to play. Adam needs to take any opportunity to show he is the obvious stand-in for Anderson. I'm not sure he did that last night. It's difficult when you only have limited chances but that's the nature of elite sport. Adam's timing may be unfortunate - he would be ideal in an England team playing possession, using wing backs, etc. but Tuchel's not playing that way. Hopefully he'll get more chances - maybe he will become an impact player coming on for Anderson when the opposition tiring so his killer passing can be really damaging?

My job was to lick the stamps and stick them in the book. Youngest child always got the best jobs 😂

I don't really see the point in that case. I guess Tuchel might be thinking he gives cover in two positions so allows him an extra elsewhere - probably another no.10?

In the words of Ru Paul's drag race - Adam. Don't. Fuck. It. Up!

That drop goal - still one of my greatest sporting memories. Walking off with Leeds fans who, although disappointed they'd lost, were saying what a great moment that was! One bloke said to my dad words along the lines off "well if you have to lose that's the way to lose!"
