The Title Race - 2023/24

[Xhavenjoe]

Kelleher hasn't faced any tough opposition so far though, we'll see how good he is next week.

He's a very good goalkeeper but, like bazunu and Trafford, a little inexperienced.
A few high testing balls into the box with Dias standing on his toes or a friendly shove in the back from Rodri will unsettle him.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

The referee forgot the rules. I don’t care if it was by accident or otherwise. These are meant to be the best we’ve got and decisions like that are unacceptable.

Should VAR have told the ref " wrong decision"

Should VAR have told the ref " wrong decision"

It was too late by then. Don’t think they can get involved with things like that anyway.

You missed the game at the Etihad?

 

[Tolmie scores]

That's the Arnold volleyball game. And added the Foden debacle last year. basically they cant beat us unless they get a massive helping hand. Which unfortunately could well happen next week

We will need to score at least 4 to have a chance of 1 or 2 counting..klopp lobe in year..forget about a win there.

I didn't
It could be karma
Funnily enough, I've seen a lot of decisions go against the " less experienced keepers"
I'm thinking of Trafford against Luton
If that was Allison , Ederson or Martinez, they'd still be rolling around.
When we played Liverpool, Allison nearly required heart to heart resuscitation.
If that was Kelleher, he'd throw his hands in the air and blame Van Dijk.

Can't remember engaging with you on this subject, but whilst you're here, what bullshit are you referring to?

The bullshit time keeping inequities displayed over and over again by the match officials. There are different standards for different teams, simple as.

As far as engaging you, aren't we all fellow Blues here? I was responding to the idea that being displeased with the officials is not an indication of whether one has faith in our own squad or not.

After make sure we give him something to do rather than our usual shot shy visits to Klanfield.

We have lost TWO of our last FIVE league visits to Klanfield

no chance il give up on a win there, yes i get you with the 4 goals, lets get tomo out of the way and if we can go top next week with the win at anfield then i cant be any more confident the team will come out and do the business

 

[Stelea]

We have lost TWO of our last FIVE league visits to Klanfield

Won 1

 

[marco]

Won 1

past form and results i think realy means FA, if we can go top on the day then this city team comes out and does what has to be done 'its what we do', next two games are critical although still not over by any means if its a draw at anfield

We are going to have to do it ourselves, against allcomers!

The Premier League CANNOT allow the club against which they have leveled 115 fraud and corruption charges to break the PL consecutive win record AND ruin Klopp’s farewell parade! It CANNOT be allowed to happen unless WE MAKE IT HAPPEN AGAINST ALL THE ODDS!!

Simple. Get to it, boys. It starts today!!

 

[SebastianBlue]

Thanks for sharing as I still hadn’t seen the incident and the referee’s actual actions.

That is very suspect.

 

[lasereyes]

The same Tierney who refused to send Milner off after at least 3 yellow card offenses. Dropped a clanger my arse. He did his intended job to perfection

 

[The_Maverick]

As a complete aside. Was following on BBC website as I was working.


lo and behold up pops a text comment from Levenshulme Blue which I remember from the old 606 board days….

Good to know you’re still around and how’s the Vespa?

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Won 1

and when we win next week the last six will read W2 D2 L2 at Klanfield and the Dippers havent won at our place since 2015 , we have their measure.

 

[BHsteve]

All in all I have never really gone along with conspiracy theories regarding referee’s but that was not just a ‘Clanger’ as agreed by all of the MOTD panel, it did look a deliberate act by Tierney to give the Dippers control of the ball , and, where was VAR ? They had time to intervene , but no ,
I didn’t see the incident but I have to agree with the MOTD panel after seeng the replay ,
That Twats decision may well have consequences at both ends of the Table , Feckin shit faced Cnut !!!!!!

 

[BringBackSwales]

How strong minded are our players and management? What we saw yesterday was blaring cheating and game management in favour of our main rivals AGAIN (like the 2 non pens v chelsea, the non pen v Brentford, the extra extra time yesterday etc etc), I can’t put the injustice out of my min, yet our players and Pep do it game after game, year after year. When we win the league when up against united (back in the day) and against the dippers, how much extra we have to do is incredible
