Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Chiron aren't American from what little I can gather/understand about how they're structured. Which would leave Sports.Com, the Wilfs, or Red Bird Cap coming back as American interest that we know of/have heard about. Minnesota Vikings play in purple, we've got the purple turtle third shirt, so clea...

Re: If a buyer isn’t going to happen, would you rather?

Likely, given how Kia has been known to operate, that Dai was the face for a group of owners/investors - and, disturbingly, the one they thought most likely to pass the fit and proper test. We've never properly got rid of the Thais, who Kia was also responsible for - being very close to Thaksin and ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Wycombe Wanderers (h)

What intensity we had went with the goal. Smith, credit for the header, but he was off celebrating when he should have had the ball in his hands and been sprinting for the half way line. We're not here to draw games, and there's plenty of time to bask in the appreciation when the final whistle blows...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Shrewsbury Town (h)

Wasn't CBC touted as the one of the best young keepers in the country at one point? Even if he hasn't realised that potential, surely he can't be worse than Button?

Re: MATCHWATCH : Shrewsbury Town (h)

First and third aside, how many times is that now that Button's been beaten at his near post? He really should have seen some sort of consequence after Pompey, but today really ought to be the one that seals (at the very least) some time away from the first team.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Shrewsbury Town (h)

Not sold. Think had we held on, we'd have just started our resurgence one game earlier. It was a real low and I want revenge on Saturday. We haven't put in a complete performance and dealt out a thrashing. Let's hope Saturday is the day. Not sure I fully agree - the team that ended that game had Hu...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Port Vale (h)

WestYorksRoyal For xG nerds, does a goal like our 2nd with a few blocked shots rack up our xG? And isn't that misleading given it was one attacking move?

Shadow of the side that turned up at Fratton Park on Saturday. Only thing that's the same is Ehibhatiomhan still can't put away his chance(s).

Re: MATCHWATCH : Port Vale (h)

Proper win at all costs six pointer. If we can take the positives and play like we did the first 35 minutes yesterday, albeit with better shooting boots, and we should be fine. Should be starting Smith, w/ WiFi or Mukairu on the left - currently not cray about either option - and bring Savage back. ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Portsmouth (a)

4 shots on target, 3 goals. If CBC really is the future, can we start playing him? Impossible he's worse than Button on today's showing.

Jogging into frame after Pack? Mukairu.
Clearly the last straw for Selles, off for Smith.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Portsmouth (a)

HT 1-0 to the hosts. First 25 minutes were brilliant and some of the best I've seen us play all season. We should have been at least one up, and they should have been playing with 10 men, before Lane's effort reminded us that Button really isn't a very good keeper. Mukairu having a typical stinker, ...

1-0 Portsmouth. They've grown into the game, but that still feels undeserved and Button should have done better. Beaten at his near post (again).

That's as straight a red as you'll see. Arm to the head and no attempt to play the ball. Essentially he clotheslined him. Standard of officiating in this division continues to plumb new depths.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Portsmouth (a)

It's weird that, outside of local rivals, it's fans of clubs like Derby and Portsmouth, who've both been within days of liquidation, who are enjoying our plight/wishing the worst for us. Yeah, it's all banter (ugh) at the end of the day, but there are some people you think would know better.

Mukairu and Ehibatiomhan were doing some sort of weird Vanarama double act tonight. Bringing on Monlouis in that situation and when he's not a RB is crazy. Elliott was atrocious. Balance of the game it's a point gained, but the circumstances of them equalising were a really annoying throwback to ea...

Re: Opposition fans back from the game

Evans had them in the (atrocious) ref's ear all night and they seemed to know how/when to go down to get the most out the officials. A bit taken aback by how much their fans seems to dislike us - there is LOTS of 'can't wait for them to go out of business/go the way of Bury' bullsh*t floating about.
