Yeah, I thought that’s what I was hearing too. Crazy.

But isn't that based on how those teams normally do? Which is much worse than they're doing now?

Feels very wrong that new branches of Hooters are opening in 2025

I’m not convinced it has to be a read, although I’m not going to read the letter of the law. For one thing, he bends down and Gordon doesn’t raise his hands. He makes contact above the shoulders but it’s not a strike and it’s clearly accidental/random.

I haven’t seen a replay, presume he actually reached it but just mistimed the header? Thought initially it might’ve just been out of his reach. Willock in general has been annoyingly bad recently.

People chat every season about “X club is underperforming, that means Y club should definitely do it”. It makes very little sense. I can’t be bothered to do the research but I’d guess the amount of points you need to come 5th is relatively consistent every season. You could argue that teams like Forest and Bournemouth being good makes it even harder for us, we’re less likely to beat them twice a season to collect the 12 points.

Lay off the roids.

Sure, but those are more points about the general state and price of football in the UK. Not really members vs other types of fan creating a worse atmosphere, which was the original point.

Forest have signed 2 or 3 full squads since they got promoted.

Someone kicked it into the stands and got away with it as well, just down by the Milburn/Gallowgate corner.

And sold nobody of any value.

Yeah, makes no sense, half the time fans don't even know what's going on. Penalties for red cards are way too harsh in general IMO. Especially when violent conduct is used for things that aren't violent.

No idea why people do that. No idea why people share it.

I think if you had to build a team of us and Forest or us and Bournemouth, both would be about 50/50. Our stars are better but people like Murphy, Schar, maybe even Burn probably wouldn’t make the team.

They are probably 80-90% to win the game, but all we can do is get into them and see what happens. As long as we have Bruno and Isak I believe we have people who can find a way to score a goal. Will be very interesting how we approach it.

Worst thing about him is the dramatic finger wagging when he decides to ignore a blatant foul.

Why would he leave them on the bench if they’re a star player?

That’s meaningless. Deliver what? And in what circumstances?

I really hope Willock doesn’t start the final. Maybe the 5-4-1 posted on the last page is the way to go.

I can remember being confused why everyone around me was sitting in silence about 20 years ago. I don’t know if things have got worse recently. Certainly not since the takeover.

I don’t know how many people get in via ballot but I’m estimating half of the general sale tickets. So maybe 10k. And maybe 50-75% of those are long term fans who just don’t have a ST. So maybe you’re looking at 3-5k ‘randomers’ scattered around the ground. For general sale you have to put in a lot of work, so I guess those people would qualify as decent fans?

Yeah, my hope is that he progresses next season with a technical RW coming in.

I've been pretty disappointed with Tino TBH, maybe my expectations were too high. His defending is solid but he's so average going forward. That said, we won't change him so I'm hoping we get a chance to see him play with a proper technical RW next season.

The only way to really improve the atmosphere would be to create multiple singing sections and shuffle the entire crowd around. While I would like to see it, I can't imagine any football club doing that when people have bought their seats and had them for decades. Or for the team to be better. I may be wrong but I imagine everyone except us thinks our atmosphere is brilliant. Especially people in executive roles. I get very annoyed when people suggest some mythical ST better fans should control who goes to the match because they are the old guard atmosphere masters. It's absolute nonsense.

Ah right, I get that but there's no justification for allowing ST holders to buy extra tickets when they're in such short supply. There's no reason at all that they should control all the home tickets as well as all the away tickets. Are we arguing that ST holders and their mates are the key to a great atmosphere? It makes no sense, 30k or more of them are in the ground now. I don't get it.
