Reply | An extended International break next September…
at 19:35 8 Sep 2025
How about taking a leaf out of international Rugby.
The league goes on minus a couple of players.
Surely with the depth of squads, let’s take Chelsea as an example, it’s not that difficult.
The other solution is stop playing completely useless international, third rate teams, nobody cares.
Let them play offs against each other so they then qualify to play seeded clubs.
I don’t want to watch San Marino’s group of a post office workers etc etc. |

My old man always went with his mate, stood in the North Stand. His mate smoked a pipe, the people behind him must have hated it.
I inhabited the North Stand, not with my father!
I always refused to move out of the North Stand, remember the segregation, mentioned in another post.
I have to confess I was a naughty boy but that’s what we did in the early 70’s.
What a time to be part of the North Stand.
Please don’t lecture, we had a hell of a time. |

Oh my word, the thin edge of the wedge.
It roles on for Man City to escape.
How about an asterisk against everything they won and award it to the runner up in the competition.
Cheating, just spending money on legal advisors so they can wriggle off the hook. |

If my memory is not misbehaving I recall on Ray Crawford’s retirement, his last game at Portman Road he asked that the tons fans should sing “keep right on to the end of the road”
If it was good enough for Ray Crawford it should be good enough for every town supporter.
Birmingham can do one. |

I remember Burley’s team and the short crisp passing until we felt the need to always pass the ball to our mega super star, age still unknown!
The passing and exciting play was replicated in our double promotion years.
Ipswich were a joy to watch.
I just hope we can return to that exciting style of play, playing on the front foot, not continually p@sing it sideways and back for fear of losing possession.
If you are going to lose possession do it in the opponents penalty area. |

I actually starting to doubt the ethos at Portman Road.
One of our most committed players.
Not sentiment but the replacement signings don’t seems to add anything. |

For myself I just want my team to show some attacking intent. Passing it around in your own half is not going to win games. Possession stats don’t win games, Nottingham Forest did extremely well last season.
They used the ball ruthlessly when they had it.
We struggle against teams who sit back, we don’t frighten them because we don’t look fully committed in attack. We don’t cause panic in their defensive areas. |

How about the fact we just came down from the Premiership, they just came up from Division 1.
I know we’ve lost players but surely there is a significant gap in class?
Mind you the beauty of football, who will be more fired up? |

I’m all for the player having time to consider a change but dragging it on and on shows a serious lack of commitment to the purchasing club.
I think we should just walk away. |

I can’t remember him ever having a nightmare of a game when he was embarrassed.
Yes he made mistakes but who in our team didn’t?
He always looked comfortable on the ball and could bring it out of defence.
I’m not biased because he is one of our own, I think he is an accomplished defender and footballer. |

How about we don’t get side tracked and just look at this from a purely footballing view.
Last season was not good for him, not surprising trying to anchor the midfield in a struggling team where we simply weren’t physical enough.
He was never a player with electric pace but last season he never broke the lines and he seldom played ant killer passes.
A superb player and captain for our club and never to be forgotten for what he did in that squad of players but I think he is past his best, time has caught up with him.
Can his body last 90 minutes in two games a week?
If not can we afford the luxury of sentiment. |

Reply | Faking injury to break up play
at 20:58 21 May 2025
Physios on and takes player off, game continues, he has to stay off for 10 minutes to be assessed.
Player is safeguarded by having treatment, game continues with team down to 10 men.
Next “injury” exactly the same.
I have never seen so much diving and cheating in a half of football.
Fernandez clutching his head, he was never touched.
If we have the wonders of all camera angles why can’t there be restrospective action for simulation.
This could be picked up after the game and player booked or indeed banned for a game. |

Yes I can accept the point you are making but why oh why in games didn’t we give it a go?
Are all coaches from the Gareth Southgate mode?
FFS change it up in the second half, we’ve done nothing, don’t just don’t put on like for like.
It isn’t working change the system,what have you got to lose? |

I love the way you’ve slipped in Norwich as a “big club”
I suggest you give up on what you are on and stick to the proper medical regime. |

With Delap you know a booking is not far away.
The Everton defenders were trying to get a second yellow card for him and to be fair I have seen them given.
He wasn’t looking at the ball but was looking at the player. |

There are some exclusive parts of High Wycombe but the town itself is unattractive.
