No.

Nothing gets wiped, the 5 game ban trigger is just removed. So the next trigger is 10 for everyone, Colback has 9.

He should be sent off.

The fuckers now put the teams up in graphics on Twitter so you can't just copy and paste, so was typing too fast - fixed now.

Now. George Caulkin is on.

Leazes Terrace behind the East Stand is a magnificent example of Georgian architecture and Grade I listed. Could it potentially be demolished and improved though? there would be virtually no change in design for the replacement. I once thought a two tier stand overhanging like highbury built in the 90s, but too high for light I believe. Remember mates in the 80s saying when they knocked the west stand down we should have moved the pitch west- didnt see it myself at the time- but they were proved right. That's what I was thinking something link the North Bank at Highbury. Tbf, it's a very old stand now, facilities are quite poor and will need refurbishing at some point soon. The facilities in the East Stand are fine and were refurbished when the ground was extended to 52k and the old boxes taken out. It's dated now like. Queues to get in are longer than any of the other stands, takes longer to get out than in any of the other stands, legroom is poor and the concourse area is far more cramped than in the rest of the ground. Cracking view of the pitch though although that's not necessarily a good thing these days. It's fine. I've had a season ticket in there for the last 5 or so years since I moved from the Gallowgate until I chucked it in the summer and it is fine. I was on Boxing Day as a Christmas present in my old seat - leg room of course not the same as Level 7 etc but more than adequate , queues to get in never a problem and there is plenty of room on the concourse in the middle but people seem to want to wait at the ends - for five years if I wanted something at half time just walk to the kiosk in the middle and you could get a pie or a pint instantly yet people queued like sheep either side of you. Very strange. The facilities in there are fine, of course they could be better but they are just fine for what they are. It does take fucking ages to get out mind.

Not defending these two but part of this is due to the tactics - two deep centre mids almost on the toes of the central defenders every f***ing game gives the opposition midfield free reign to do as they please in the middle of the park. We didn't start deep, though. We tried to push higher and were getting absolutely torn through. We only looked vaguely competent when the team moved deeper, closer together and tightened gaps. It's obviously hard for a midfield 2 to play against a 3, but especially hard when your two aren't even good in the first place. Central midfield is our absolute achilles, it effects how we defend and attack so much. The two central midfielders were deep and on the toes of the centre half from the first minute, as they have been almost every game this season. They weren't at all. That's why Everton were finding so many gaps in the first 20. We were playing quite a wide, relatively high shape and they were playing triangles through us with the extra man in the middle with massive ease. Not true. They picked us off like that a few times when we tried to attack but a lot of the Everton attacks were from their centre mids managing to find passes to their wide men and having time do as they please on the ball as they ran towards our line of 6 - because of the gaping hole between Colback and Anitra and then Perez - that's where the gaping hole was - not between the centre backs and Anita and Colback.

One of the reasons we don't have a competent left back or two good enough centre backs, only one winger, no competent central midfielders and four relatively talented players that all want to play in a number 10 type position. Most unbalanced squad in the league, because of a flawed recruitment strategy. If Carr has as much say as we are lead to believe he is largely responsible for this but it all comes down to the person who over promoted the chief scout, just like the MD is the over promoted reserve team secretary. The club is rotten and always will be while it is owned by Mike Ashley.

Would only get another recently sacked lower league manager.

Should have at least had a shot but he hasn't got a left foot.
-
Coloccini getting done by their centre back ffs. Just retire.

Yet you are advocating building a new stadium over expansion of the Gallowgate ! Nooo, I'm saying IF we had the need to expand the Gallowgate, we'd probably have need to go bigger. But we couldnt go any bigger at the current St James' anyway. Might a well cut out the middle part (Gallowgate expansion) and go straight to the bigger Factor in the costs to the returns and your idea is bonkers.
