They tried to get the ball past Colo but he said NO, NO, NO

Combination of non existent fitness in midfield and CH's tactical ineptitude would signal certain re-relegation without drastic measures. We'd become a yo-yo team

To be honest it seemed a notable improvement on the s**** i endured at barnsley and sheff wed. Least we had more chances to waste instead of being on the backfoot. Get a consistent front pairing and hope it turns around.

You're points are dropped when you have butt and nolan/smith in midfield. This result wouldn't look so bad if we hadn't fucked up so badly against the likes of barnsley and sheffield wed through tactical ineptitude. Derby seemed to defend well and we wasted set pieces. Best of a bad bunch we've had imo. All down to the insistence of non-mobile players on the pitch.

A casual attempt to say the least. Should be taking the man and eveything there Wyn Davies style. Yes it was a foul but as said above should'nt expect protection and get the fundamentals right. Been superb on the whole though. Pub goalie. Piffle

Over use of the messiah bollocks though. Still pretty good like

What in? Tortoise years?

If johnno had sour grapes face's temper i'm sure Simmons would have been dismembered.

I jacked it in partly because of the very homosexual initiation stuff you had to do for the uni teams and the overly macho bravado stuff is BS. Used to play with a fair few ra-ra hooray henry types over the years so Union is definitely more of an upper class thing than football. Love johnno though. Class player

Will have biodegraded from his scrot vinegar by then

No, it just means whoever made the rules is f***ing stupid. Righto. Rules are clearly stupid in sport. Lets do away with free kicks then. Nah, football is good. I'll put you down for my petition to the RFU for implementing a no hands and forward passing rule then shall I? Reckon I'll tell the Lawn tennis association to put one of them nets they have at either end and ditch the rackets whilst i'm at it. Hark at the rugger-buggers getting all sanctimonious about their backward rules... Aye....I'm just a fan of both sports and can't see why we can't just get along? If they can unify Sein Fein and the Unionists why not the football and the dark side?

Didn't know they televised that these days

There has to be a certain level of tactical intelligence involved in a sport where the only way to move forwards is by passing backwards surely? The yanks get one littler fella to throw the ball the length of the pitch to another littler fella whilst the bigger chaps clobber shite out of each other. It's a disgrace they are allowed to call it football

I like football and rugby union and league. Am I the only one? American sports are fucking shite. Having played rugby union for years it is true that rugby players, at my amateur level do have an inferiority complex. Seems its wrong to like both even though they're completely different. You can't knock the way it respects officials and players athleticism and skill. It's class seeing a team defend 5 metres away from a tryline like men possessed as much as it is watching Shola tear the championship a new one every week

Yep. He's gonna be at the prices we're realistically capable of IF money will be spent. I don't think we'll get a longer loan and it would be better tyo have someone who we know looks decent in that position.

Mark Bright and his chum on the BBC weren't exactly neutral either, Brighty was Boro's refereeing complaint cheerleader most of the match. And hilarious when he said he didn't understand why Pogatetz had to go over to the ref when he was told, to get his booking. It's called respect Mark, taking responsibility for you actions, not being a complete dick... that sort of thing. Aye he's a proper dick. He annoyingly talks like i've stuck the sky plus on fast forward. He kicked off about Jose getting man of the match over Collicini. Fair do's he was in with a shout but the way he kicked off was as if El Toro had been shite all game and that respect stuff epitomises whats wrong with the menatlity in football sometimes.

There's no need for that, it's only half 12. I got a rock on from hearing nicky butt wasn't starting too

Do you honestly think Ranger is ready to start games? He won't ever be ready with 15 mins at the end of games and only getting full games for the stiffs. He needs consistency if he is to develop Not at our expense he doesn't. We should loan him out next season. sends out the wrong message if we're willing to persist with other loan signings and ship the lad out when he's on the cusp of breaking the first team. I am just of the opinion that intend to see players develop in terms of confidence and effectiveness and you think they have great potential in the first place you persist with them. All depends whether people and Hughton think that as well i suppose

I don't mind him being here til the end of the season...but it seemed when he first arrived that he wasnt being started because of form but merely because he was a big 'championship name' and forced players likie loven/carroll/rnager out because of this. When he first arrived it was indeed like having 10 men on the pitch. A very mediocre player. I'm glad hes provided a few goals and contributed a lot more now and think he may provide some important goals in the promotion effort however.

Chris Houghton rolling over for ashley

I remember when Charlton i think it was travelled all the way up here on a Monday night a few years back only for it to be called off because of the snow. That must have been a pisser for them! think it was southampton. i was sat in the pub with a couple of saints fans and they wouldn't believe the match was off. im sure it was Charlton, i have known to be wrong before though..... It was Charlton because I remember doing the 400 mile round trip the midlands (never mind east london) t6o see the game...sat up in level 7 made up to be at the game when the wankers come up with some s**** about it being dangerous for travel. I'd set off early that day from near Tamworth so i'm guessing Charlton's faithful would've set off on their 'dangerous' travel before me....

Until the end of the season yes. Credit where its due he helped us get a point from nowt against Barnsley and even though I personally think he's an abysmal footballer he could do the same at some other crucial point in the season.
