Given Peterborough presumably offered more with theirs, no.

Do agents get commissions on loans?

We can't spend a bit more in wages because we have self-imposed a stupid 10k pw wage cap. It came in this summer, so you won't see a Dennis style wage splurge again, even on a loanee I'd imagine. Was Woodrow a relatively large wage? Christ that's even more mystifying why we ever bothered. That's not a hindsight thing either, his goals record was absolutely atrocious for a few consecutive seasons before he came. He had just come off the back of 3 goals in his last 66 league appearances! Or 7 in his last 94 if we want to make it look more 'generous'.

You'd think clubs would learn we actually have good youth players, worth loaning and playing.

Several people had already mentioned it. Clear penalty. Ref was useless all game.

Sure am. Nothing ill-mannered about me today, minus this horrible cough I've got. Just saying, you can't bleat about people giving you stick for it, then bring him up yourself unprovoked.

To be clear, you're saying it should have been a Hull free kick because of that? Because that means he was first to the ball.

We should be signing Joseph up pronto. Does Higgins' scholarship end summer 2027?

What a bad game...apparently 29 shots, but only 3 on target, in the whole match (although other stats I saw say 21 shots in total)

Really good guess! You even got the order right, the only difference was Doherty took the last one not Miller. Funny, the two I would most expect to score missed, and the three I had least confidence in all notched.

Concerning how quickly that comes down to defenders.

So who amongst our team do we have confidence in dispatching a penalty?

How stupid is Doherty?!? Simple pass to Ohashi for a simple tap in, tries to go for glory, clown.

How can Henriksson look this much better just by moving to his more natural position? I get the positional awareness being different but every aspect of his game has improved.

My point was more that making your last sub with half an hour remaining of a 120 minute game where anybody could go down with cramp or injury is stupid. (Unless of course O'Riordan was injured)

It did, except the game would probably be over with us through by now if the first one had gone our way. Not that I think the Ohashi one was a clear enough pen, still think it was a 50-50 challenge and nobody really won the ball. But Coyle should have been off a long time ago.

Strange subs from Ismael today as usual, too. It's almost like he picks them at random.

Gonna watch it anyway though aren't you?

Humour has got nothing to do with it. Even if you were being facetious, what I said is true. Don't cry victim next time you're dragged for it if you're going to bring it up, in whatever capacity.

He was fouled first, but then it did look like he stamped on him, and I can confirm he definitely grabbed him by the head, seemingly whilst shouting something down at him. How this cunt has stayed on the pitch and not even picked up a yellow is a miracle.

Not in this ref's mirror universe he lives in it wasn't. Tbh I wouldn't have give anything, 50-50 that, got there about the same moment. But it was in no fucking way a Hull free kick. I suspect he just wanted to get the players treated, given how long he waited first, and that was the risk averse way to do it.

Another wtf moment from the ref.

You say you don't want people to give you stick about your bizarre opinion on Tronstad, but then you drag him every opportunity you get, even in a game where he isn't playing.

Strap in for another half hour of it.

Well the first thing Baradji did was class. Nearly everything he has done since has been a bit shit.
