The spines in these referees would embarrass a slug.

No, but you can't boo the team at half time every time it's just 'poor'. That should be reserved for the very worst of performances, bereft of effort. Quite frankly it's shit supporting to boo this time IMO.

The 'Irish Foden' is as accurate a comparison as the 'Scottish Rooney'.

Do you mean 'what is JDT being blocked from complaining about?' ?

The one he has seemingly had very little say in the assembling of? The one with its star playmaker sold for a fortune and not replaced? The only thing I'm unhappy with JDT for is the passing at the back shit. I can accept it as a general strategy to draw the opposition in, so I've made my peace with it. But the players absolutely need to be informed to boot it out when they sense danger. We've had a booking, free kick in a dangerous area, and nearly lost one of our two remaining established (at this club) CBs because of it today alone, and its cost us numerous goals this season. There's no risk assessment goes on, we just pass it in tight spaces regardless.

It isn't fair. We've been the worse side but they're hardly battering us 3-0. The boos are because of the frustration at an awful window and a ludicrously mismanaged club - that's not the players' fault at all.

It was Gally. Spun with the ball and hit it immediately, went about 20 yards wide. You're probably thinking of a different effort.

QPR have definitely looked more dangerous

Imagine paying for the tickets then...

Think that's the worst shot I've ever seen Gally have

Eh? No, not remotely right. Did you mean something else, like net spend in a window or something? I'm fairly sure the answer to that is also no. We have spent over a million on several of the players you mentioned, so I can only think you mean something else.

It will be tomorrow's won't it? Don't the league have some kind of rule about managers having to talk to the press in the pre match conference or something?

This has been an utterly dog shit window. That's all I have to add right now.

As he should. They might proceed without his approval though, which I imagine would be last straw if he doesn't get the players he needs today.

I don't think they are. He has a 4.5 year contract that he's going to massively upgrade. I'd love to go to a much better paying employer and get a huge lump sum for leaving.

I don't want to see any midfielders inside any left forwards. I'll stick to the MILFs.

Ahhhh...so he's insane!

Tbf it's also possible we just don't know exactly what happened and it's been exaggerated. Nearing transfer deadline it gets very easy for stories to be blown out of proportion. 'We can't confirm it until Wharton is finalised' can quickly snowball into 'the deal has collapsed mid-flight' once a bit of Chinese whispering has reached the clickbait peddlers.

I've watched bits of his videos a handful of times...he's usually quite chirpy and I've never seen him swear before.

Even Chaddy is far less upbeat about it than James Langy Langford... Got to say Chaddy, it's reassuring that, although it clearly takes a helluva lot, you do have it in you to criticise the club. And seeing some of the social media shit, you're not as blind as some!

2,000 fans not turning up would barely be noticed by Swag, it certainly wouldn't register in Pune. 'Oh they're just shit fans over there'. There's been more than that fucked off due to them already. But 2,000 fans singing all game about how shit Venkys are and how they want them gone would absolutely get back to them. They'll do what they want in either case, but if you want them to know about it, non attendance isn't the way. It would take a sub-3000 league attendance I'd wager, for them to hear about it, and that simply won't happen. They really hated that snowball though and I bet they hated the chicken on the pitch too. Anything that gains enough attention to be reported back in India is best.

There is no indication the owners pulled out of the O'Brien deal. As you say, the fact we went on to appeal at presumably a fair bit of cost suggests they didn't. Which would make this once, not twice.

If that's real and not a mock-up, he really doesn't look best pleased by it.

I dunno, I think you could find a few who think it's a signpost for a rapid and painful demise into oblivion.
