Yeah he was really good. Especially as he was on a yellow for 80 mins.

Thought McCallum was their best player - that being said. I don’t agree with the non celebration. Give me an adebayor sprinting down the pitch any day of the week

Ohare left on a free after we rehabilitated him twice. Deserves the stick.

He also arrived on a free.
Are you going to stay in your job for another 4 years when the company down the road offers to triple your wage?
It's a job, their livelihood. They don't support the club like we do. People are just thick who don't understand this.

When he took a corner and sprinted down the pitch and stopped goal scoring chance for the city.

We need to stop hating on players who helped us get promoted.

O hare stuff was funny but also sad. He helped get us into this league and then stay in it for crying out loud

McCallum yeah fair play didn't celebrate it

I hear you and i think your right. But i have this hate for everyone who plays against us on the pitch. It cant be helped.

Just a bit of theatre booing ex players isn't it? Football is just a bit of fun after all.

Yes they can, because that's exactly what it is. Just because it's high paid employment doesn't change that.

Is that O'Hare?

I thought he wanted to be on a par with top earners, or to be the top earner, but the club didn't think he warranted that. I got the impression he'd have stayed if we'd have paid him what he felt he was worth.

I'm with the club, btw; I liked (and still like) O'Hare, but I wouldn't break the bank for him.

That's how I read it with Palmer, too, yeah.

The difference is at least O'Hare's demands had some sort of credibility to them.

I imagine what he was asking for was outside of the wage structure at the time and we hard balled on breaking that.

The rumour on here at the time, from a once ITK, was there was a contract offer, but King Withdrew it after O'Hare had a bust up with Robins after being subbed, I think at the Hawthorns.

No, but looking at our left back cover he would be an excellent squad addition.

Tbh I never thought he was particularly great when at us. Thought he was a good athlete and worked really hard, but lacked the technical skills and passing ability required. But he was really good tonight and their best player.

I mean, he was 18 and we were his first proper club! What were you expecting? Prime Roberto Carlos?

He was signed from non league and sold for a few million. About as good as it gets

He would if that's his base level and he went through the standard 'Lampard improvement' phase.

Always struck me as a ridiculous story tbh. I would hope that’s not how King conducts his business.

I find the non celebrations really ridiculous especially if it’s a former loan player. If I was O’Hare last night and I had scored I would have gone wild, fortunately we didn’t have to see it as it was a typical game from him a lot of bluster but little final product.

McCallum was a permanent player first here and then a loan player, loaned back when we sold him to Norwich. He probably feels a debt of gratitude to a club that picked him up from Level 7 of the pyramid.

I thought McCallum had the look of a player that would eventually play centre half.

Good defender, decent physically and seemed to be able to read the game pretty well.

Surprised he's not played there at all really as far as I'm aware.
