Steady on, bannocks are shite. 😂

I booked after the Braga second leg. I should have jumped earlier as if we don’t make it, my plan is to change the flights to something else and I’d have probably got flights into Seville rather than having to get the train. Anyway, defeat does not exist in this dojo. See you there!

What route/cost? im glasgow to Madrid via Gatwick on the way over, and via Heathrow on the way back. just under £200 I’ll book the train Madrid/ Seville if we make it.

But fuck it, i'll be there if we make it. Gersnet meet-up???

Nope. No way to tell, but I was hearing about some people making a number of applications and getting tickets, when I read the T&C's and cancelled my application, to go as a second person on my mate's application... when initially i was trying to double our chances by both making applications and putting each other's names down as the second applicant... not sure if that makes sense but the rules did say that duplicates would be automatically cancelled.

I heard somewhere, might have been on Heart and Hand, and I haven't verified this so take it as you please, but worldwide its only something like 3% of corners that result in a goal. Which makes the numbers from Huddersfield all the more remarkable

Agree Goldson was very good. He gets my vote too.

Credit to the manager for his HT team talk

I take it back…

We don’t half like to make things hard for ourselves. Wright’s passive mentality is really starting to grate on me now.

It was crazy to lunge in like that when the ball is in a nothing area of the pitch. There was no immediate danger.

Oh FFS. Decent start ruined

What? He gives a quick opinion based on the replays he watches.

Silly silly tackle, especially for an experienced player. Wasn’t a dangerous situation to warrant sliding in

Finally an end product from wright. I think!

Huge game for Diallo. Perfect time for him to show us why Man U paid so much money for him.

Apparently the hotels are also pulling a fast one with the free cancellation date being before the second leg ties... i.e. they will get a fair number that will likely cancel and the hotel will charge twice for their already inflated prices.

Thats pretty much how its gone... the premiership clubs will split the cost based on league position. Presumably this will be netted off against existing prize money as there is no new funding for it. League Position Cost 1st £195,000 (16.29%) 2nd £140,000 (11.67%) 3rd £120,000 (10.03%) 4th £106,000 (8.81%) 5th £99,000 (8.21%) 6th £91,000 (7.61%) 7th £84,000 (6.97%) 8th £80,000 (6.69%) 9th £77,000 (6.38%) 10th £73,000 (6.08%) 11th £67,000 (5.63%) 12th £67,000 (5.63%)

The Decision Review System in cricket is well established now, combining various forms of technological assistance to off field umpires in order to review decisions. Initially when it was brought in, there continued to be controversies and you do still get the odd one, but they have become fewer and fewer over the years. What it has done is lead to an increased standard of umpiring, as particularly for LBW decisions, the feedback from DRS has enabled umpires to quickly learn from mistakes and improve their on field decision making. There are some elite umpires now whose accuracy (when compared to the DRS review) is very high. If that experience is anything to go by, I think we'll see improvements but it will take time. Oh and cricket umpires are professional - I think the semi-pro status of our referees will come even more into focus in the coming years, particularly where VAR highlights weaknesses that can only be addressed through the sort of training and professional development that can be achieved if they go full-time.

Tav for me but special mention for Lundstram who was excellent too

Agree that would be the danger, but in a member organisation, thems the breaks I would argue. I cancelled my legacy subscription and have scaled back my monthly subs to the £5 minimum. I wont revert until I see meaningful change, and sadly that looks way off. I don't want to end up cancelling altogether but I may be left with no choice.

David Edgar spoke to the club and apparently its just a reference to him returning to fitness soon.

I would have thought, especially given the issues that led to the EGM at C1872, that they would have consulted members on this purchase. I've no doubt they have the authority for this within their constitution, but seems like a missed opportunity to engage the membership on what is a significant spend.

A deflating performance. We’ve usually been better form-wise in Europe but we seemed to carry our domestic frailties into this game. A defensive lapse to go behind, and poor decision making in the final 3rd. We need to hope that a rocking Ibrox can spur this team on, on Thursday.

Agree with all the comments. Felt just as churlish as their stance/attitude towards its use.
