It isn't solely the keeper's responsibility, but in recent games where we've really been dealing with a very hard working aggressive press from the opposition and losing the ball in dangerous areas, we continue to try and play out from the back. I think Wilson is by default less inclined to play...

This isn't exactly the same topic, but it's already in excess of 6 games: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/jan/17/have-any-football-clubs-faced-each-other-more-than-three-times-in-a-row-the-knowledge These records rely upon the old FA Cup replay system where you could replay each...

Back when the league cup had replays it may even have been possible to make 8 competitive matches against the same team in England. What is this, Scotland!?

It does remain a tricky proposition for O'Hare in terms of what team would actually take him that could give him Premiership football - at least in England. The boomerang teams on their way back up at the first time of asking (Leicester, Leeds, Southampton) seem really unlikely because they...

At no point in my post did I ever say the word racist. In fact my point was more that having a bias doesn't necessarily mean you are racist, but it's important for everyone to understand their own biases and tendencies. It's pretty ironic that you're mocking the idea of unconcious bias while...

Hands up if you thought this thread was about Keresley 🙋‍♂️

This makes no sense at all. Leicester are 7 points clear at the top and flying, despite the last couple of results. They don't need him nor are they likely to play him often enough. I don't think O'Hare really wants to sit on the bench at this phase of his career. Other more interesting offers...

Literally every club except those that pay the absolute top whack at any moment in time. If Callum's management want 30k a week (just throwing a random number out there, I have no clue) and can get it elsewhere and our entire model is built on a lower wage cap - then there's little to be done...

I would agree Callum deserves to be a top earner at the club, but I wonder if the club are waiting for an actual bid to understand what the market would pay and match that. I don't think he's necessarily a good fit for a Premiership team right now which might limit the contracts he will be...

I also think Vik is striking the ball much better now at Sporting, because he is surrounded by really high quality players who are giving him balls at just the right pace and angle. Vik would often snatch at strikes or look off balance. If you think about how we played last season - a lot of...

It's worth considering what the wage model of the club might be and what that really means. Assuming we do have a strict wage cap, players whose market value exceeds that simply must move on. As soon as one single player exceeds the wage cap, is all lost? Presumably that has a knock on effect on...

I would suspect the club are waiting to see what bids might come in before we make another renewal offer. I do remember people at the clubs stating publicly a renewal contract was there for him months ago... but I assume O'Hare & his team will want to see what he can get elsewhere, quite...

I am sure I will butcher this a lot, but my thinking is this: If you're an anxious or unhappy/depressed person that has spent their life being told to "man up" and pretend you're absolutely fine, all of those feelings really have to go somewhere. If you look at some of the "bed wetting" and...

He's not wrong really on the whole and I would imagine most professional footballers feel that way and just wouldn't admit it while still in the game. It's taken me years to come to this realisation but sport in general and particularly football is a great way for (predominantly) men to...

Well, the topic proves that he is being given stick because he is regularly accused of being lazy. I understand you don't agree with my other point but it doesn't invalidate or address the original one about unconscious bias.

First of all this is a great thread - thankyou for raising it. That's why it's called unconcious bias... most people don't actively think that way, but we all have inherent biases and are influenced by those as well as everything said by others around us. The stats compiled at the top of this...

Do you think you'll ever get over it?

I think is this is the proper image of the short sleeved adult kit: Also other variants of the training tops to match these colours: Also, a couple of promo images for the new keeper shirt and the new away shirt: They've taken the site offline, so this is probably all going live...

I'm sure it's not 100% accurate or even close, but what is likely true is that a large portion of the RRP of a football shirt covers marketing, retail, distribution etc - all of which I believe CCFC solely own. Thus they will get a higher % of that RRP than a "brand" club that is selling their...
