Silas

Yeah, afraid it was his error that one. Had to cover that run.

😲😲 Like Ronaldo in his pomp that.

He could be worth 120 million right now, we still wouldn't be seeing a penny of it. But he was very poor tonight, seemed always on a different page to his teammates.

180 day record or something they said. Like with the 0 out of 10 saves for the keeper last week, we'll always end the runs. It's what we do. Over and over.

Gallagher gift from the ref and still can't capitalise.

Nah, just young. He'll learn. That's unfortunately where we're at. A mechanism for the future stars to get all their howlers out the system. Just got to suck it up. He's a cracking player, happy to have him this season.

I was wondering that. It's rescheduled from the weekend after the Queen's death so everyone had a game cancelled. Only those 4 clubs catching it up this week. Weird. Suppose we'll get a rest when all the others play their matches. Not bad timing for us tbf as the squad is fairly injury free at moment so not complaining.

2006, Sheff Utd v Rovers. Birthday weekend with some neutral friends, VIP booked at Gatecrasher Leeds after. Promising team sheet- Friedel, Bentley, Tugay, Gamst, Benni McCarthy etc. We were all hyped, even taught them the Shabani Nonda song. One of the poorest 0-0 draws I've ever endured. Absolute garbage. That, and the 7-1 at Old Trafford under Big Sam are the worst live matches I've suffered. Mainly cos I was in the home end and got laughed out the stadium by the 100 or so people around us once my "pals" announced me as a Rovers supporter.

Did you not get an invite to the VIP section? Well this is awkward.

Tbf is the ref's hands not tied if a keeper is sparked out, regardless of whether he gave the penalty away. I'm guessing that's standard protocol not to have people tapping into an empty net with him out of action. We should be good enough to convert the pen though.

Would genuinely have preferred Ayala to him. A 31 year old cool head. Why give it the new young lad and heap all that pressure on him....at an away ground. Really stupid.

Lee Hendrie. He's watched us Sat v Millwall and tonight, and it's bursting his blood vessels despite no emotional investment.

Really is. Looks lost out there. JDT should be astute enough to see that and make the change.

We've really mastered the "passing triangles that take you 50 yards backwards" technique.

Yeah, a couple yellow cards if we carry on with the desperate hacking people down.

So, it seems that Mark Zuckerberg booked out the whole UFC arena to himself to watch the event last night: What a sad story. I could understand doing it at a movie premier, or a classical music concert.....some event where crowd atmosphere and participation isn't vital. But paying for fight night without a crowd seems like you're taking all the fun out the event...for yourself and the athletes. And this is the guy that claims to want to 'connect' the World and build friendships and relationships. 🤔

I watched a bit of this last night. Was a cracking free-flowing game. Lot easier to achieve in a friendly with no pressure I suppose. Was impressed with the striker Balogun. I'll be honest, I've never heard the name before in my life. He look good in person?

Won't get any form though if he's not playing for his club. Could well be the last game he starts for a while barring the odd token Europa match. I don't like kicking the guy when he's down, but the Maguire question should be finished now. No way you should take a player so low on form and confidence to the biggest Tournament on the planet. Insanity. Big test of Southgate's metal for me. Under duress at moment too. But he's always said he'll pick on form. If he doesn't here, he's going to look weak. I'm all for loyalty, but it's way past that.

A legend of the sport shows how it's done:

The one thing this has unearthed to me, is how angry people are about our World Cup win in 2019: Was news to me, but the number of people genuinely comparing the two situations is mind blowing. A 100% accident (which everyone agrees) vs a planned, and ordered by the captain, purposeful action. Couldn't be more apples and oranges. The fact that some are even using this as part of the debate shows how weak their argument is.

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮:

Hang your heads in shame India women. Pre-meditated, and planned. Dirty stuff. I would even be okish with it if the batter was stealing a few metres. But this wasn't that. And I'm not interested in all the "It's legitimately in the rules!" It's not in the football rules to give the ball back after an injury throw in, but we all know the crack, and wouldn't want to score a goal and win a game that way. Some things transcend rule books.

Tbf I'd prefer that to the standard over-hype.

At least we're playing a decent standard of opposition in 2 warm up games. Didn't we used to play crap like Slovenia before Tournaments, and then wonder why we started comps half baked.

Only just switched on, how's Maguire done? I felt like this was a big game for him. Try prove doubters wrong. Just put in a good break saving challenge a few mins ago.
