Is there a point where someone's hand might be forced to do something about this?

The sides and penalty areas look fine. The centre of the pitch is awful.

This is getting called off.

Wow. They've zoomed in on the pitch, on Barry Bannan. There is lots of standing water spots.

Just on the TV which has the pitch in the background. It looks like over half time the rains picked up. Quite a few working on the pitch, but it's taking a battering by the looks of it.

Yep about 10 - 15 yards out the centre circle, dead centre, both ends. There's definitely already some standing water.

Just noticed there's definitely a couple of spots just outside the centre circle where the balls bounced a bit lower and more water has come up. You worry don't you.

As we're back to an excuse culture. That was shortly after Eustace left. Thus, that is Eustace's fault.

Alebiosu the pick of the bunch. I'm classing Gudjohnsen as good purely because without him, we'd probably be sitting 23rd. McLoughlin is ok at best, he seemed steadier in the few games alongside Wharton and Carter but is prone to a mistake, positive he can stay fit. Miller brave, but sloppy, has a tendency to put his teammates in danger. I will say he puts in a shift for the travelling he does for international duty and is always available. TGH I can think of a couple of nice diagonal balls he's played, but on the whole nothing special, I'd class as a downgrade on Trav. Tavares well, the less said the better. If it ever was as expensive as mooted then a terrible mistake based off performances so far. Morisihita @davulsukur summed it up. Baradji I'll probably judge at the end of January by which point I'm hoping he's played plenty of games. So far, I've seen him jog around. Henriksson anytime he's been in the starting lineup, I've backed him to be the first sent off. De Neve, Ah, Dion. Not his fault, as he says, of course he's going to take the opportunity to quadruple his wage. But he makes mistakes seen at Sunday league level. Consistently ball watching and has single handedly cost us goals.

McGuire has got that wrong. It's not £211m since Venkys acquisition. It's £211m because of Venkys acquisition.

You realise that they have to want to take him too right? Can't imagine many takers.

This is why you need championship experience in your squad. 7 goals we've conceded in the 90th + minute this season.

Just flapping and complaining as usual.

De Neve fast asleep.

I think they need another match between now and the next test, like a pink ball or something. We've hardly played whilst we've been out there.

Don't think we've had a shot since they scored.

I fear Cantwell will start sulking soon. He's looked good and dug in so far this season, but he's been a bit petulant past couple of games. It's when the chips are down, you need your best players to drag the team forward. Although he's not got a lot to work with.

May as well exhume Beatrix

We got dicked 3-0 and have managed to let a 1-0 lead slip at home. We cannot keep relying on a spot kick to turn a game for us.

Cantwell is going to be sent off if he doesn't keep his head.

Definite penalty, but we can't keep hoping to get a spot kick to save our bacon every match.

Agreed, absolute disgrace, jogged back.

A poor decision that hasn’t been thought through by those running the club. It reinforces the view that they’re every bit as incompetent as they’ve been labelled, rookies and amateurs with zero prior experience in the roles they’re undertaking. There’ve been rumours all summer about how they treat individuals and groups who don’t toe the line, nothing proven, but plenty of noise. Then they pull a stunt like this, in full view of the public. Anyone with half a brain cell could see this risks the mask slipping, but not them. As a fan or a neutral, it’s now hard not to believe every single rumour that’s been doing the rounds.

Once is happenstance, twice is a coincidence, three times is enemy action.
