And yes, it’s a great comment about Biamou’s goal. If the ref hadn’t booked Clarke earlier, he may well have brought Biamou down, and gambled getting a yellow rather than a red.

I thought the ref, despite a few mistakes, was decent yesterday. In particular, I liked the way he got his card out for players of both teams, as soon as a deliberate foul was committed to disrupt the opposing team‘a attack. If we’d have had him against Cardiff, he would have prevented their...

It’s not an excuse for the way we are playing, it’s an interesting and different take on the game. As often as not, the ref gets a decent write up. We all know why we lost last night and it wasn’t because of the ref.

Harry - I raised a post similar to this a while ago, I find the experience of watching on iFollow or red button horrendous. I’m kicking every ball, and sitting there, literally waiting for us to cock up and concede a pathetic, ridiculous goal, and nine times out of ten this season, I’m proved...

I can’t stand the thought of being beholden to the stripey bastards in any way. For me personally, the only thing that would slightly ease the pain of Highfield Road, is if we were to build and own our own ground in the City, or outskirts. Of course, this is based purely on emotion, and is...

Yep, it’s been a bad couple of years for losing players who were the backdrop to many people’s formative years. The humour on the Saint and Greavsie show was excellent. Loved their approach to THE Cup Final. And, he may have been at the end of his career with City, but how much could we do...

I must admit that I enjoy Oggy’s insight, and although Clive makes mistakes, I think he’s ok. I also like the fact that they’re pretty unbiased, even handed. I missed the commentary on Saturday, but each to their own. Generally I have found away commentators to be ok, and not too biased. The big...

Does anyone have film of the incident where the guy stamped on Ostigard?

I didn’t think he was too bad, 6.5 feels about right. I felt that Robins should have subbed Ostigard after the yellow, he’s very competitive, and is unlikely to back off. Was a daft foul, gave the ref no option. We’ll miss him Tuesday.

Speak for yourself, not me, and not for many others...

I don’t see where you get that from, to be honest. I think he’s ok, pretty even handed.

Yep, I thought ref was good, can’t think of any instances where I was abusing him from my settee for a decision I didn’t agree with.

To be fair, I’ve seen a couple of 6’s for DaCosta, and I wouldn’t argue with that. I thought defensively he looked shaky, and his positional play suspect, particularly to the diagonal ball behind him. I think Robins saw this, which is why he brought Pask on, we then looked more solid down our...

I thought the Sky coverage was pretty fair to be honest, gave City a lot of credit. A few posts before the match about Tyler Walker being unable to score, and being a lazy c. Well, he needs still to prove that he’s a consistent Championship goalscorer, but in terms of his work rate, he more than...

Yeh, but he’s right, there’s no evidence that Walker won’t score if he has chances.

Is it possible that he overstretched himself, in a bid to impress?

Yep, thought the ref was ok, he did nothing really to offend me. Not sure O’Hare needed anyone to push him, to help him miss the target!😀 Must stop being cynical, he needs to score one, and hopefully he’ll be up and running. I’d agree with an 8. One thing though, we must be a very easy side to...

Agree with this, the only thing I would say is that, yes, he seems to have dropped Ostigard because of mistakes against Cardiff, but I think that most of us/all of us, would think it was the wrong decision.

Yes, it’s not been mentioned, but at the time I thought Wilson’s positioning for Pukki’s goal looked suspect. Seemed to have a lot of goal to aim at. And yes, although O’Hare gave the ball away when we were in a promising position, it was far too easy for them to play through us. We made Pukki...

It’s interesting that Robins questions some player’s confidence. Does his man management help? The fact that he dropped arguably our best defender, Ostigard, presumably because he made mistakes against Cardiff, tells all the players that they are just a couple of mistakes from the chop...
