Thread | LGBTQ+ Player Recruitment
at 12:17 3 Dec 2024
Given recent events, I’m concerned about the club’s ability to recruit LGBTQ+ players for both the first team and youth teams. If ITFC is approaching gay players for our first team or academy, they might question whether the club captain will be welcoming, as his decision not to wear the armband doesn’t reflect a supportive attitude toward the LGBTQ+ community.
If he chooses not to wear it, as is his personal right, he should take steps to show that, as our on-field leader and representative of the first team, he is genuinely welcoming and supportive of LGBTQ+ players. Otherwise our ability to attract gay players in the transfer market might be hindered, and any LGBTQ+ youth players coming through the academy might be tempted to look elsewhere. |

Two big units but god they were totally impenetrable yesterday. Barely gave Delap a sniff. Definitely one of the best centre-back pairings we've come up against this season. |

Thread | Tottenham Away
at 11:40 7 Nov 2024
Doesn't feel like there's a huge amount of excitement on here for Sunday's game. Maybe because of the disappointment of Saturday and that it's our third London away day in a row.
I, for one, am very excited. I'm looking forward to visiting the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time. It looks like a great place to watch football and I expect 3k of us will be in great voice. And I think we'll give Tottenham a really good game. They've got a few injuries and playing them after Thursday night trip to Turkey couldn't be better timing.
So, how's everyone feeling our first away game at the new Spurs ground? And how much of a chance do you lot reckon we have of getting a result there? |

Thread | VAR
at 12:42 12 May 2024
As it looms large for us next season, can anyone think of any of our goals, or goals against us, that would likely have been retrospectively ruled out if we'd had VAR this season, for a foul, handball or offside in the build up? I can think of Preston's second at Deepdale, but no others come to mind. |

Thread | McKenna and Hutchinson
at 20:10 18 Mar 2024
McKenna's coaching of Hutchinson this season has been an absolute masterclass in loanee coaching.
How many times over the last 15 years have we taken on Premier League loanees who have shown glimpses of outstanding quality but eventually been unable to withstand the difficulty and toughness of the Championship and faded into the background? At the start of the season I had reservations that Hutchinson would end up befalling a similar fate.
The way Hutchinson has improved as a player and been gradually eased into the starting XI and is now one of our most pivotal players during the run-in has been managed perfectly by McKenna.
When McKenna arrived it was pretty clear from the start we had an extremely intelligent football tactician, but his management of Hutchinson this season, and of players like Burgess and Burns as they've made the step-up, have proven his qualities as a man-manager and a coach as well. He ticks every single box as a manager.
I expect both McKenna and Hutchinson to go the top of English football, and the former will have played an extremely important role in the career of the latter. |
