If we lose on Friday or in the playoff final, and IF we're able to keep hold of our better players, we should be in good shape. My opinions: We need to hope for better luck with injuries. The likes of Jones and Andreu being fit could have changed the entire dynamic of our season. I wonder how...

The McDonald we had on show earlier in this season would absolutely walk back into that place and be solid, no worries. But that's the problem. Lately he's been very off form, very unsteady. On current his form and in such an important game, I just don't think we can risk carrying him as a...

Maybe. He should have really, regardless even if just a raise of the hand. That could be more his undoing than looking down, in all fairness.

But what is to say he didn't look down to try and miss it and just made a misjudgment? I've lost count the amount of times I've done that to our dog when she's lying down in my way ( I can be rather clumsy on my feet sometimes, but she don't half lie in some stupid places!) At the end of the...

I have seen it over, and over, and over again on the highlights link. I STILL don't think it was a deliberate act. There is nothing in there I've seen that will ever convince me it was anything else than a clumsy accident. I STILL say I'd believe it was harsh if it was roles reversed.

Nope. Not for me. Cannot see how you could prove that was deliberate. Say it's sky blue spectacles if you like, but I assure you if it had been switched, I'd still be saying the same thing. I cannot in anyway be persuaded that that was a deliberate stamp.If anything, it looks like he took a...

Incorrect actually...just saying

I'll stick by what I've already said. I do not believe you could prove there was intent there. It's hardly Rooney stamping on Ronaldo's gonads. Sky Blue glasses or not, that would be a harsh ban.

Saw it last night didn't think it was that bad, in all honesty. Seeing it again it looked a bit worse than first viewing but I'm still not sure you could prove it was intentional.

I've only seen it once on the Sky Sports highlights, but don't think he even looked down at the guy did he? Only ever looked where he was running from what I saw. I think it'd be difficult to prove any intent there.

Well taken, looks great in 60fps that!

He's kept himself very fit. Believe he played pretty much all of Portsmouth games (in the league at least) last season. Good job too, I'd worry about the strength of our midfield without that kind of player in there.

Nothing like stating the obvious is there?

So effectively right back where we started. Finely balanced. That said we had the chances tonight to put ourselves in a very strong position. We should be in command of the tie if we'd only taken them. I think we're well capable of winning this if we can be composed, and keep it tidy. Cannot...

God I hope not. A completely clueless idiot the kind of which obviously got their qualifications out of a cereal box. That said, he did give us the penalty. If he does that again he's the best ref in the world.

The ref keeping up to his usual standard with that penalty, but we don't care. It keeps us in it.

Can't panic too much. Plenty of time left in this and the second leg. That said we have to make changes count and stop making errors at the back. More pressure we put on Burge more likely he is to make a mistake.

Once on a visit to Lichfield saw a family of young ducklings cross a road on front of some cars....followed by mummy duck running (literally) after them clearly very angry and worried. Clearly very unimpressed by their lack of road etiquette. It was all very nonchalant how they just waddled over...

Wonder if he regrets saying he'd do the press conference naked if he won it? Pleased for him considering he didn't qualify at all twelve months ago. Quite the turnaround!
