and what a night that was 😁

Until it’s five to two.

Rewarding them financially would be an unfortunate byproduct - the aim would be to have a visually impactful protest - 1,000s of fans (potentially a majority of the crowd) turning their backs/holding up red cards (other options may be available). The only thing (imo) which will have a chance of impacting Pasha/Venkys is bad publicity. I (maybe wrongly) see a very low crowd and a high crowd full of protesters as equally achieving this aim. I (again maybe wrongly) think persuading people to return for one match should be easier than persuading people to miss one.

Apologies if this has already been suggested: Perhaps a match should be chosen where those who no longer go to Ewood return ‘en masse’ to carry out such a protest. The impact could be two fold - an obvious spike in crowd numbers and the protest ‘moment’ itself (both of which the coalition would publicise). After all if those who don’t wish to boycott are being told it’s just one match (to miss) isn’t the reverse, it’s just one match (to attend) true as well?

All fart no poo. Again.

Convince the sceptics, ignore the cynics.

Have the holders ever been knocked out by a non league team before?

*cliche alert* “This felt like the right place at the right time. Oxford United are a Club with good foundations, ambition, and a playing group with significant potential, and that matches exactly where I am as a coach. “I want my teams to work hard, attack with purpose, and play with a clear identity. Everyone has to understand their role, be accountable, and deliver consistently. “I can’t wait to get out onto the grass and begin working with the players and staff to help this Club push forward this season and beyond.”

‘In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it’.

Bit in bold… In its own way it’s impressive to create a squad which is better in 3-5-2 whilst signing players you intended for 4-2-3-1.

I particularly like the box for a white shirt with a Maltese cross mentioning we play in blue and white with a red rose on the chest.

Or will the team drop to his level.

Because he’s played for two clubs in the last 12 months his time on the pitch has to be weighted. I followed the instructions on how to calculate this and got him at 39.7% of qualify minutes (as at 1st January). He’d need to be on 40% to have enough points to be converted but if the decimal place is .6 or above you round up. I guess the big question is do we trust my maths…

Has to be done during a transfer window - so this will probably prove to be right.

Kargbo can be converted too.

Correct

It’s a FIFA rule (I’ve only left in the first exception as the other four definitely don’t apply to this player):

I genuinely don’t know. Given the guarantee condition has now been removed my best guess is they’ll be trying to have the other conditions removed too.

A reminder we’re a week away from the next court date (just in case anyone still cares 😁😁)

Why do I get the feeling ‘lessons won’t be learnt’… https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/articles/cj4lnxyyrrjo

This isn’t exclusive to this topic but I’d rather see a healthy debate than find myself in an echo chamber.

If you’re ITK and share the information because you think others would be interested 👍 If you’re ITK and share the information to act all ‘Billy Big Balls’ 👎

I’d say modern as I think in the past even shite ones tried to change tactics to suit who they had available.

Registration is a one off thing, ie if the deadline is met for the third round it’s met for subsequent ones too. The squad list relates to league matches only
