What happened to Mcguire was an absolute disgrace from the player's standpoint and should never happen to anyone, but, viewed objectively, we were probably being asked to pay way over the odds in terms of fee and wages for a relatively limited player. Gueye is getting a lot of stick recently after a reasonably promising start but I'd still say this summer's recruitment was a lot better than the summer before.

Beggars belief doesn't it that if you're good enough at bullshitting you can get a job almost anywhere irrespective of ability. He's not "Our Gregg" any longer. Thank fuck!

I feel a bit sorry for Coote. Klopp has obviously been a twat to him over the years and he's merely giving his opinion on the man. I remember watching one Liverpool game when a decision went against them and you could plainly hear Klopp screaming in the ear of the assistant "You dont give those decisions against us!" I would have issued him an instant red card for that but of course it went completely unpunished, nor did the TV commentators even acknowledge the remark. If anything I applaud Coote's honesty. Rather that as opposed to the downright corrupt decisions by officials which happened in favour of Man Ure for years during their pomp which either got brushed under the carpet or passed off as "subconscious bias" - as if that was something which made it all acceptable.

Of course not. But each and every piece of concrete evidence which proves the same is more than welcome.

Thanks for finding that - Good spot. They're seemingly trying (not very hard?) to get any and all restrictions lifted. They're not going to go into Court and say "It's cool we can live with that." are they? Regardless however of the actual expense or inconvenience the restrictions are putting them to, it proves Waggott is lying through his teeth. They're obviously not prepared to provide the assurances the Court are requesting in relation to funding be they actual double funding or mere personal guarantees or both.

Aside from the Nations League being practically meaningless to begin with, cant for the life of me understand Carsley being left in charge for these 2 games. Whatever he does in terms of tactics or personnel is absolutely irrelevant and the result is almost as unimportant given he will be leaving the post imminently.

It's very much up for debate whether or not they even have to match money sent over like for like. My reading of the previous Court judgment reproduced on here is that they merely have to provide personal guarantees to cover any money transferred. And of course Waggott has previously declared on more than one occasion that there is "no impediment" to them funding the Club as normal which would be nearer to them having to merely provide guarantees as opposed to double funding. Looks nailed on for another adjournment tomorrow though given the position in the Court list. The farce rolls endlessly on. A cynic might say the owners are finding this endless delay quite convenient.

He was all right today, the vast majority of the time though he's absolutely shocking and doesn't warrant a place in the side. JRC is outdoing him this season though.

Pears was excellent today, if that save from Johansson on Wednesday was allegedly "world class" (it wasn't) then so was Pears save from the low shot today in the 58th minute. Don't suppose anyone is saying that about Pears though. Lol. In general thought it was a great performance until the first substitution when Eustace inexplicably tried fixing something that wasn't broken and nearly cost us what had up to that point looked like a routine 3 points.. Fortunately the second batch of substitutions stemmed the tide and we got away with it. Travis was superb today, conversely I still think Tronstad is extremely over-rated - and that's being kind. Cantwell tends to overplay in the opposition box when he should be pulling the trigger but otherwise played quite well. Also tends to fade markedly in the second half. Ohashi and Pears also very good.

Funny.

Hope that's how the bookies see it. As we haven't scored in 437 minutes, it's only going one way in reality.

Give over. Great effort, decent save at a convenient height.

Think people are exaggerating the Stoke keeper's performance. He made a few good saves you'd hope your keeper would make, not much more than that.

He was good first half, disappeared without trace second half. Bit of a show pony for me, looks flashy but it's mostly all window dressing. He's hardly a 27 goal machine like Szmodics who let's face it was the only thing that kept us up by the skin of our teeth last season.

No one left in the Blackburn End and who can blame them?

So we finally go 2 up top with less than seven minutes of normal to go and promptly concede a soft penalty. We look nailed on to go down for me. Wonder if the bookies have cottoned on to how bad we are yet.

Gallagher wouldn't even have been on the end of it. Not that it makes any difference.

Dear me Gueye. He's never going to score is he?

1-0 down at home. Like for like sub again. I've tried to defend Eustace to date but fuck off that's insulting everyone's intelligence.

Not really. Made a couple of good saves but that's about it.

At least he shows for the ball.

Great effort from Dolan.

Is Tronstad even playing? Another one doing nothing and getting away with murder.

Great save by Pears. Pickering AWOL as usual.

Haven't really troubled their keeper though.
