How does that work? Giggs sat next to the manager, Manager gives the sub instructions before coming on, then Giggs stands up and gives him different points? Maybe he was giving him relationship guidance.

I presume when things go wrong it's the managers fault and when it goes right .....
If they would have got a scrappy 0-1 win, I know what the headline would have been.

Don't think I've ever seen the DoF sat next to the manager on the bench before. Very undermining for the manager and what was with his jacket ?.
He seemed a decent bloke but I'm sure how many manager would feel happy about the DoF on the bench.

Missed the game (a rarity) but watched the highlights and read the comments here. Scoring 8, regardless of the opposition, is a booster. Playing young players creates a buzz, and it sounds like they acquitted themselves well. I am pleased for Nunes, who is proving a useful squad member. McAtee's first touch and finishing ability are great to witness and bode well for more minutes, and I hope he gets them. Nico has a lot of attributes that could help to build an impressive career, and Doku can be a devastating player but he is young and needs patient support.

Savinho and Doku are both improving with the coaching at City. Both are now playing with their head up and picking out players much better with crosses. It is fantastic to see. You can see Pep is delighted. No one improves players more than Pep.
 
Genuine Salford non league supporters must be yearning for relegation and the Classless ones to fuck off
Get back to playing in Yellow and black
Bit similar in a way to us fucking about with Hyde United painting their ground blue was fucking brilliant but they got their club back once we fucked off sadly

I was thinking about reverse situations where we’d pack an away end for another team hoping the rags would get beat. Suppose there’s Girona but it would never happen as the rags can’t qualify for the champions league.

Went to Old Trafford years ago with Stockport. Also went with Alty when they played Spurs at Maine Road. To be fair lots of City fans at both those games.

Not a dof but didn’t Elton John sit on the bench at Watford? Salford have been hijacked for a vanity project by the chuckle brothers and family man Ryan. Why did the manager have a jacket on with 92 written on it? It’s a shameless marketing stunt to sell tat to rags who think top level football isn’t good anymore as their team is shit.

We used to have Eddie Large on the bench!

I have actually done it myself come to think of it. Sat in the Platt Lane when Oldham should have knocked the rags out back in the 1990 semi final at Maine Road, was some game that.

Still nice to highlight one of the City Football group clubs in Girona play top level European competitions whilst the rags play Thursdays. Suck that one in any lurking rags.

To be honest, if it's part of your prediction, you need to account for the fact that if the score is one sided in a cup game the ref is going to blow up at 90 minutes or thereabouts, they all do now.

Would be gutted if they'd have played an extra five minutes and Akanji pulled a hamstring.

It's just odd.

The Laws of the game are meant to be simple and apply across all these games but in reality, the referee can do whatever he wants.

We see it every week in the League, Dips and Arse benefit from extra time when they need it.

A goal in stoppage time for a player needing one or a young lad can do wonders for confidence.

Injuries are part of the game, we have benefitted from other teams missing players and vice versa.

I refuse to accept the referee had 45 minutes played on his stop watch and that is wrong.
 
I thought Paul Dickov was being a tad optimistic, when he predicted six-nil, pre-match.

Nicky Weaver said he’d be a bit more cautious, and said five-nil, and I even thought that was unlikely.

Shows what I know.

I have met and drunk with fans of the Rags’ European opponents on multiple occasions in town over the years. I am an unashamed ABU.

Agreed.

There were several substitutions and five goals in the second half. A minimum of five minutes should have been added.

Not seen all yesterday's results yet but wouldn't be surprised if the Dippers scored a 4th in the 98th minute :-)
