R11 CCM v WSW at Gosford

[Big Al]

While Paulo has been reserved with injured players I wonder how much of that is the new strength and conditioning bloke saying give him another week and have him back stronger or risk him getting injured again this week.

We have had alot of one week injuries take 3 weeks to get back.

Also I wonder how much is ok he’s not injured but the fitness has dropped in that week or two where he needs another week to get fit enough. Asdrubal is probably in this thinking

 

[Big Al]

? I meant against city,

Isn’t Leroy George the self nominated best visa player in the league?

Nathanial Atkinson was the kids name

[BrisRecky]

Well, I can only hope that we treat these gormless clods like the Smurfs did, but 1 or 2 will do
Astroboy , Tommy ( All hail Hariejism) and Stormy are back.....everyone should click now that Tommy ( all hail hariejism) is back ...cause it was obvious we missed him last week

 

[greenlig]

So he's back in the lineup for sure?

 

[Big Al]

So he's back in the lineup for sure?

No just in the named squad for now.

 

[Big Al]

Good luck boys. Give em what they are asking for.

We have dominated WSW in the Okon era but have blown some wins through sloppy errors or ref errors. Tonight make them pay.

Need to be careful of the WSW crowd as well. This and Jets are the only time they can get close to there players and give them a lift through there noise (as souless and Olympic stadium they are miles away). We saw the effect when Jets got on top in rnd 1 and WSW have the same capability to lift the team with there noise.

Unfortunately missing the game but enjoy everyone but I will be at a party with my mate who is a WSW fan. So I’ll give him some stick if the boys can win this one. Otherwise will be a long night

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

on paper it's looking favourable for us. I'm excited about tonight....but we need to go into every game with mongrel, not overconfidence.

 

[scottmac]

We also need the refs to punish Herd when he's taking out DDS. He needs to be protected tonight.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Yeah, hitting DDS hard a few times early is a possible tactic. Though it doesn’t seem Gombaus style...

It’s obvious, but I thought Hooles interview was a good sign that he stated they know Wanderers will be hurting and desperate to make amends. So we won’t be taking them lightly.

I’m buying memberships for two people for early Christmas presents and bringing some others to the game - so really hoping we can play some great football and get a solid win.

I think we have the ability to absolutely thump them. Just need to play with the confidence, speed and intensity we are capable of and take a couple of chances and we’ll be all over them.

 

[tim...]

Team in. Asdubal back but no Tommy, as predicted

 

[true believer]

Remember the days when they filled 10 bays .

Please let us get a "GOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLL GOAL GOAL GOAL"
I wanna see that so bad!

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

f**k off santalab you filthy prick. There was no reason for him to stick his leg into Brama's body. Red, red red.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

It's really annoying how the Away fans always have the noise advantage in our stadium (combination of the wind and roof).

Santalab fouled....and not our player a moment before hand who was collared from behind right in front of the ref. unbelievable.

omfg, Golec and Brama both need to be uppercutted or something for that goal. They were both running around in circles with absolutely no clue what to do, it was like watching U/8s at the back there. That's the sort of defence I thought we had fixed.

 

[Gratis]

Missing Hiariej. Don't deserve to be down but aren't bossing them like usual either. I see a frustrating loss at 2-0 down. Would love the epic comeback right now

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

I legit want to f****** cry.

Why do we need a VAR check?? why isn't the ref making his own decision??
This is what we didn't want the VAR for. ref has a clear view and is too gutless to make a decision.
It's....yeah, it's a red card. Just more evidence that VAR is applied differently for different teams. MCY stud a player, no problem. We do, he's off.

 

[Gratis]

F#$KING VAR!!!

Screwed over and over by the F#$KING VAR!

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Why the hell wasn't that flying scissors tackle a red card? Where's the VAR there?

Their player who SHOULD have been sent off scores one and sets up another. VAR only works one way. Only ever works one way.

The other question is though, I can accept that Brama's yellow was an error - but was it a clear, obvious error?

 

[Woollybutt]

Are you kidding me? Brama was pulling out, there's no dragging studs. How is it worse than the tackle on Brama a few minutes in? How can they make that a red and not even look at the stomp on Hoole last week? This isn't football anymore.
