I contributed to one of these threads on the When Saturday Comes board earlier. Are there any Town fans here who went to Bradford on the final day of the 87/88 season? A win would have seen Bradford get automatically promoted to the First Division. Our form from January onwards had been pretty dismal and we had subsided to an 8th place finish. But on that day we beat Bradford 3-2 and they lost out in the play-off semi finals.
As things turned out, a draw would have sent them up on goals scored, but Aston Villa nipped in ahead of them thanks to a goalless draw and went up over Middlesbrough due to goals scored. [Post edited 2 May 21:40]

My Twitter feed this morning had a tweet from a Town fan stating that we only need 1 point to go up and featuring a picture of Mick captioned with "Be careful what you wish for".
I replied with a photo of Evans captioned "Be careful what you wish for" and told him that I fixed his tweet for him. |

Strictly speaking, if we lose tonight, then the possibility is that our next away Championship match will either be at Norwich, West Brom or Hull again.
Carry on…. |

I’ve slated him for a goal that I saw, and others have slated him for a goal that they saw.
It really isn’t difficult to grasp. |

I haven’t slated him for the third goal. I slated him for the first goal, which I did see, and got a load of abuse for doing so. I get home to find most of the rest of the board criticising him for the third goal, which when taken in tandem suggests that the problem last night was the goalkeeper and not the fans who got upset at the goalkeeper messing up. |

I posted a thread criticising Hladky on the first goal and got a load of abuse in return from the kinds of idiots who doubtless applauded us to relegation in 2018/19.
I missed the second half as I’m visiting my family this weekend and we went out at half time. I followed the score updates and based on those, could only conclude it was a humdinger of a second half. And then I get back to find people lamenting Hladky’s performance and blaming him for the third goal - which I haven’t seen yet. So, if a player consistently messes up in a game and costs us a big win, can we please recognise that said player has had a ‘mare and not get into SuperFan cock waving “He’s criticising one of our players. How dare you! You don’t deserve the season we’re having!” Well none of us deserve our keeper causing us to mess up ANOTHER opportunity to go into the top 2 and nail down promotion.
I’ve been patient and tried not to get too high or too low, what will be will be. But it will be unforgivable. if we throw it away from here. Get. It. Done. |

I think many would quite happily see the next East Anglian derbies as Premier League fixtures. |

I do feel a smidgin of sympathy for them with two away games and a Monday-Friday turnaround.
But I sincerely hope that thoughts and prayers is all we give them over our next 3 games. |

We’re never that fortunate. Let’s get these 5 points or more and do this. |

Reply | Rosenior's just labelled Saturday their 'cup final' *gulp*
at 23:02 24 Apr 2024
Well from a Hull perspective, they need to play like it’s a cup final given the way they’ve crapped the bed since around mid February and allowed Norwich to steal past them and into the top 6.
Rosenior’s nomination for manager of the year was one of the dumbest I’ve ever seen outside of a Best Supporting Actress Oscar shortlist. |

I would accept a loss on Saturday if it formed part of a tapestry of results which saw Norwich finish 7th. |

You’re slightly off target with the “didn’t score at home for 7 games” stat. Including the defeat to Sheffield United in the FA Cup, it was 6 home games out of 7 that we didn’t score in between Jan 6 & March 13 (1 win, 4 losses and 2 draws). The possible reason why it doesn’t stick out is that in our away games over the same period we were unbeaten with 3 wins and 2 draws, scoring 7 goals. |

So annoying that our players just get slight nudges, which referees can disregard, but Leeds players tend to get karate kicked the moment they go into the area. |

Thread | VAR if we get promoted
at 18:41 21 Apr 2024
I’m a general sale bod when it comes to ITFC tickets, so if we get promoted, I will most likely be experiencing the Premier League via the TV. What that VAR decision has told me is that if we go into stoppage time, level in any match next season, then I will probably switch off and check the result in 15-20 minutes time, just to avoid experiencing the crushing letdown that VAR can cause when you think you’ve won it late on. |
