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.

I'm very confused. The game got stopped and a dropball given because it hit the ref? Sure I've not seen that before, it hits the ref you just carry on no? Bad luck or good luck, crack on.

Are either of them signed to a professional deal yet? And if so, for how long? Playing Tyjon off the bench didn't seem to help him stay, it merely attracted more attention that he was getting first team action at 16. Might be more a case of not drawing too much attention to them.

It's fully warranted. They're horrific, on a weekly basis.

Honestly. The things we are getting booked for vs the things they're getting nothing for is a total joke.

Hull player doing his best to change that.

Two occasions meriting at least a yellow each, a red for the first really. Outcome? No card. Powell practically gets his ankle snapped. No free kick. Definitely no card. Hull possession given in an uncontested drop ball. Great ref.

Of course not, why would the correct decision be made? Extra annoying as I have money on the bookings today 😂

That corner was certainly one of the worst I've seen. It's like he thought he was taking a goal kick. No idea why he is even on them, has to be players on that pitch for us that can take them better than that.

Tbf it would have been a very strange and risky move to sell those players and then say 'don't worry, all their replacements are completely untested players in the U21s'. Although we could have done to sign 2 or 3 less players and put more money into getting quality where we did buy.

I bow to your fantastic memory and experience, but I can't say this is the weakest I've seen in my lifetime let alone yours. I don't really recall lineups, but I've had worse feelings before games (admittedly maybe I've become apathetic could be why I don't feel as much worry today). I do remember we fielded a pretty young team against Harrogate, and absolutely battered them. I think an even younger Tom Atcheson played that day. The lads seem to be handling themselves well enough so far. I think part of the problem people are having is that a bunch of them are unknown quantities. But that's what the early rounds of the cup are for these days, especially with an injury hit squad.

Only if we said yes, or another club came in. Otherwise my scenario stands true.

So you walk away from the extra 10k a year and carry on earning 50k? I wouldn't. I'd take the job, then use the enhancement on my CV to apply for some other 100k jobs a year or so down the line, whether in the same business or elsewhere. (Well, I'd try my arm at asking for more like 80k first, but if ultimately I didn't get it I'd still take the 60k)

We have a significant portion of the fanbase who would accept it if it became officially confirmed.

And 10k pw is a pathetic ceiling for an established Championship club. Some promoted League One clubs (most of them this year) have bigger caps than that.

Dubai? It's my understanding that Dubai isn't in Shanghai.

The AI answer attached. The part about doing so generally causing controversy seems to be backed up by the reactions to those two decisions. Sounds like Clive mostly did it because he was naffed off at the procrastination by the corner taker. Btw below this it does say a penalty kick is an exception that must always be taken.

I've always understood that you're not supposed to end a half whilst a team is actively engaged in an attack. Noticed how you never see a fulltime whistle blown when somebody is about to strike the ball? I don't know if it's a written rule or an unwritten one, but when I was a kid I was told it was a rule.

Clearly shouldn't have been played in this one. As I said before the game there is no way I would have done anything other than rested him. And it seems I was justified in that as he apparently played shit, and they lost anyway.

I wasn't correcting you, just stating it seems very unlikely he will actually be playing. Has Guehi had injury problems? The reason I'd be surprised if Wharton plays isn't because he is a key player for them, but because he will likely be identified as being in dire need of a rest.

I'd be surprised if they didn't rest Wharton against the mighty Macclesfield.

I see. So, last minute, then 'it got confirmed so late there wasn't time to scour the continent'
