I wonder if many who thought it was a bad decision would admit that it was correct now? I think we booed Darren O'Dea this season, so probably not..

    And now a future prediction: Deegan to get a red before the season is over!
    tbf I shout and go mental at the ref even when I know he has made the correct decision

    It just seems the natural thing to do.

    We had Birmingham in the FA CUP a year or 2 ago , Bentley had the ball and ran at us and scored good goal that hit underside of cross bar , when he picked the ball up in midfield or wherever it was I was going mad saying "close him down he'll score" ,

    i'll never forget saying it and seeing the ball go in off that crossbar , sat right behind it.

    I was in France staying with family during the last world cup and before the Germany v Spain game I was reading the pre-match build up and got a ridiculous urge to bet on Puyol to score. My pals I was there with thought I was mental as they reminded me of Puyol's less than impressive scoring tally. I think my exact words were 'I can just see him popping up and BOOMING in a header!'. So I went on to Betfair to check the odds to discover him to be something around 20/1 to score anytime. Went to deposit funds only to be reminded that you can't deposit in foreign countries....was slightly miffed but wasn't much I could do.

    A few hours later I nearly cried when he did indeed pop up and fire a header in to the German net

    But louder when they get it wrong

    TBH King was filthy during his earlier games for us: he kept going in late, possibly partly the lack of fitness, maybe he'd over-adjusted to Prison Footy, but I was told he was just as nasty in training and injured several of his team-mates. The bloke was a red-card waiting to happen for ages, but it maybe felt like, having embraced him and accepted him and his past, most fans could see no wrong in anything he did.

    Ooh, Fabio has quit!

    Burnley at home, the final corner 'i bet they score' (or words to that extent) seconds later charlie Austin scores.
    Ipswich game, i said as me and my mate were walking down from our seats, 'they'll score from this' (the corner) only for a few seconds later chopra heads the ball in from a cross.
    It seems that my youthful optimsm, that i once had, has now well and truely gone! thanks to our beloved CCFC

    I can usually predict that i have to que for the toilets at halftime after a couple of pints of the blackstuff prior to kick off,strangely enough like Rich i think ,also predicted Murphy to save the pen with them scoring from the rebound.

    I thought it's just typical of the city at the moment. We play reasonably well but we just can't keep them from scoring.
