Didn't we play Bolton once a few seasons back when they had next to no players so had to play about seven 17-18yr olds, one of which was their keeper?

Yes, but we played the referee & linesmen too
One of the most biased performance from officials I’ve ever witnessed

Can we beat you every week
Can we beat you every week

Just had my computer tepaired. It was away for two weeks. I was too stubborn to watch the games on my phone so got up early this morning knowing no scores and watched Leicester and Sheff W back to back. Buzzing now with a 6 point morning.

Sheaf hands armband to Kelly one last time. Give Kelly a good send off. He deserves it. Rest Milan.
Gives Robins some time to learn more about his squad.

Sakamoto needs a rest more than anyone. I'd give him a break ready for Bristol City. Who plays in his place though is a difficult one.

Might be one of those where a 5 ATB makes sense and you start players who have fallen out of place in the new system.

That was the most inept performance from officials I've ever witnessed in all the years I have watched football. Absolutely disgraceful. Although the kids put their bodies on the line for the team. And should be proud of themselves

Taken from the Owls Talk forum:

“Nah, I would have considered going but as I would probably loudly boo Palmer every time he touched the ball I would likely be shot as a racist when in reality it couldn’t be further from the truth. I just don’t have any respect at all for him after his behaviour during the entire second half last Saturday. Absolutely nothing to do with his race at all and while I am deeply saddened by the abuse he received, I do not feel in any way personally responsible for it just because I am a Wednesday fan.

I would definitely consider going if Coventry and Palmer were going to acknowledge and apologise for his behaviour”


What an absolute c-unit, apologise for having the cheek and audacity to be racially abused

Get these twats thrashed tonight City… PUSB

They were annoyed by him responding and gesticulating with the crowd. Nothing more
I had thought about people booing him and he’s being stupid (of course)
Booing is not racist
Shouting piss off you xxxx is not racist
Adding a black in there is or making monkey chants is
How difficult is it for a person to understand??
what an absolute idiotic take

I don't see what Palmer, or CCFC actually have to apologise for?

A bit of tooing and throwing with the crowd is not necessarily a bad thing - Those who went to Rotherham this season will remember their lad, Peltier doing it with us when he was subbed off, players are not robots, they get stick for being detatched from reality but when they give a bit back to the crowd they are out of order

Can't win

Booing someone normally isn't racist. Booing someone who was racially abused could be seen as condoning what happened.

If he doesn't play then that is a shame and allowing the racist fans of a club to pick our 11.

If he is up for it he should play.

I agree he should play
I think hoping it will be ok madness
I’m hoping there’s some clear action from both clubs at the game to isolate any idiots who still think palmer was and is to blame for being black

It’s essentially saying “I know racism is bad but my right to get wound up at the football is more important” - exactly the kind of people we should be trying to get rid of from the game.

If Palmer gets booed by the home fans at the start of the game then the team should just walk off. Let the FA and Sheffield Wednesday sort it out.

Agreed but also completely expect it to happen so that’s a huge shame
Mainly for Kasey

If he gets booed, fuck it off - Let Wednesday go through so their 5th Round match (and possibly the whole competition) is completely tainted

Even taking the racism out of it they've shown themselves to be an incredibly thin skinned bunch of oddballs haven't they.

I was more embarrassed we had conceded a goal to 37 year old Lee Peltier than I was annoyed to even get worked up

20% of his career goals have come against us

Gave it to the fans a bit, which in Sheffield appears to turn the locals into 28 days later style zombies... racist ones.

Eccles Allen Torp

Think that’s 6 changes.

been on the winning team and celebrated

I think the club would rather KP didnt play, but i think KP will want to play and the club will back whatever he wants, so i think we will see him tonight, and i cant see a significant amount of boos coming his way so think we'll get through the game ok.

as said above though, any boos/abuse, just walk, however annoying that will be for those that travel, there's bigger things in life and we need to show KP our support
