Forgive me, but what planet have you been living on, it's always been a three match band for violent conduct, ect.

[
Reasons for a straight red card
Violent conduct: Any physical aggression beyond the scope of the game, such as punching, kicking, or spitting.
Serious foul play: A foul that involves excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent.
Denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity (DOGSO): Fouling an opponent who is moving towards the goal and has a clear chance to score.
Other serious offenses: Includes using offensive, insulting, or abusive language, or receiving a second yellow card in the same match.
Consequences of a straight red card
In-game: The player is ejected from the match immediately.
Suspension: The length of the ban varies by offense.
Violent conduct or serious foul play: Typically results in a minimum three-match ban.
DOGSO: Often results in a one-match ban.
Extended bans: The suspension can be extended beyond the minimum if the disciplinary committee deems the offense severe enough.

Booked to se a comedian on Friday - thinking it was safe when I booked it. So will be going down the route of the Likely lads (will mean nothing to the younguns) and hoping that I can make it until sat morning without seeing the score.....so basically Im asking for a blackout on match updates on here please just in case I forget and log in. Thanks for your support all.

To make matters worse I am going with a Leicester season ticket holder and a Forest season ticket holder. The joys of living in North Leics!!

I moved to Canada to make it easier to not hear results when I can’t see the game live.
I was in New Zealand with the wolves cup game waiting at home for me and couldn’t avoid the score on the local news.

What was his red card for?

3-1 win. They will not be able to contain our frontline, and I presume Torp will be back which shall be another threat. They will look to get at us, which will play right into our hands. I am sure Woolf, Bobby & Kitch can deal with Kiefer Moore, and you couldn't ask for a better replacement for MVE thank KKH. I am more worried about The Blades at home in 8 days, as they are sure to raise their game

Everyone will from now on

I think even if KKH has a great game that MVE will come straight back in, he's been tremendous this season and is just too good to leave out.

Isn’t he still the divisions top assister? Would be like leaving BTA or Wright out at the minute.

SleepyGinger · 2025-10-27T16:17:05+0000

3 at the back or 4 at the back?
Simms or Wright?
EMC or Saka?
Allen, Eccles or Torp?

SkyBlueCharlie9 · 2025-10-27T16:17:28+0000

Wrexham have 2 very good wing backs..... Kaboure and Cacace.
They have a strong 3 man midfield too. Jamie Allen, Asante and Grimes might struggle a bit.
Torp will slot in well but Eccles over Allen if not.
Need our double wide players to force their wingback well back.
4-2-1-3 against a tired team hopefully and attack, attack, attack!

Not bothered about Wrexham but we owe them for the cup so fuck taking a loss.

I must confess that I've got a bit of a soft spot for Wrexham, I suppose from watching the TV series.

That said though, I also want us to stuff them out of sight just because it feels like we owe them one (and because it's such good fun too!).

Nothing personal, just football.

I can't help it BSB, I haven't got the energy to genuinely hate opposition teams and players these days. I have to fake it on match days in case anyone notices.

I'm blaming Wasps and Coventry City Council for completely draining my reservoir of ire. Perhaps I'll have to start watching GB News so that I can refill it.

0-5 win. Straightforward demolition of a weaker team.

keep saying it, these are the games we should be looking to win, can’t see us slipping up in this one either

Sky Blue Wozza · 2025-10-27T17:53:24+0000

Can someone please explain to me how I can watch this game on my phone in Portugal?

I have a Sky Sports subscription, but presumably I won’t be able to watch it on the app without some technical wizardry?

Appreciate any help - imagine you’re pitching your advice to a 4-year-old.

Me too, I really like what they have done.

They did not pick an underperforming big club like Brum or now Sheff Wed - which would have been a lot easier. They deliberately went for an economically run down part of the UK with a medium sized club. They turned down their first choice Hartlepool because they could not make a deal with the existing owner. Wrexham is a dump with little going on there. They have put their money into it and carefully and patiently managed the process. The fans of Wrexham had been truly shat on by previous owners and if they now get the most massive lucky break well well done them. I'm pleased for them.

There is not one fan of a small club in the lower leagues who would not jump being owned by them. Had they approached SISU when we were in League 2 we would have been over the moon

Quibblers might argue that non of the money from the TV programme goes directly to the club, but clearly indirectly it does

Jealousy and hypocrisy are unpleasant characteristic in human beings.

Gibbo · 2025-10-27T17:56:09+0000

That said I think we will win this easily. They are not as good as Pompey

covcity4life · 2025-10-27T17:59:36+0000

I don't think they are a bad team but the fact they play a Welsh derby in the cup just 3 days earlier has to be a massive factor. I can't see them resting players tomorrow as they will want bragging rights but also a cup run is good for their TV show too

A four year old would know how to do it.

Their midfield against Boro was James-Dobson-Thomason

Said it before Portsmouth and we changed everything, but I’m going to say it again; we shouldn’t change our team or tactics for other teams.

They should for us. Unless of course it suits us more to do so.

We have the momentum and confidence and opposing teams will fear us.

Strongest tactics and starting XI and I think we win comfortably. They have a few decent players but a slow back line and if on form our front 3/4 will happily exploit that. Want to see us start quickly and on the front foot and I they’ll really struggle to cope.

Also, Parkinson is a dinosaur.

Jarvo87 · 2025-10-27T18:34:50+0000

I can see a back 3 for this one, like others have said; I'm reckoning on:

Rushie
Thomas, Wolf, Kitch
KKH Grimes Torp JDS
BTA Wright EMC

Allen if Torp isnt fit.

VPN using a server in the UK so you appear to be here. Sky might block some though so may have to google and see if any work with sky before signing up.

They went through a lot of shit for years and those that were there then deserve the success they're having, same as our support who were there in the darkest days.

Sky are the most secure against a VPN. Have tried a few over the years and none of them have worked with Sky.

I can watch any Championship game in France on a betting site. But they are as secure as Sky. I have a UK number but the site won't let me sign in unless on Wi-Fi.

If you sign into ccfc.co.uk you can get a video pass for €11 for the game. If you're going to be there for a few games it's €30 for a month. If you use a VPN you could continue with the service in the UK.

It might just be where I read, but I don't really see many of their fans being dickheads on socials either. Seem like a good bunch.

No issue with Wrexham at all, and it would be good for football if they somehow ended up all of the way to the promised land in a few seasons.
