It didn't look offside in any screen shots they showed us , the auto system failed so it was back to guesswork . Remember the attacker gets benefit of doubt rule ? That should apply , not a rule is a rule even if it's 0.5 mm bollox .

Either way, the latest experiment needs bringing to an end. Experienced manager please, Mowbray to end of season if they want to go longer-term in the summer, but let them and Spors get on with their jobs.

Big, pacey and know where the net is. Yeah, those kind of strikers don't come cheap. Looking at the leading scorers in the championship this season, teams don't spend huge sums at this level. The funds don't exist for big transfer fees. Armstrong £15m (but we bought him while in PL) Whittaker £6m Thomas-Asante £2.5m Moore £2m Burrell £1m Viptonik free Cardiff bought Salech for less than £4m. I think in the summer we were looking at strikers with a lot of potential. Potential to shine at this level, but also have the attributes to do it in the top flight too. Downes obviously didn't even achieve the first part. I wonder if we might adjust our criteria and look to sign a guy to get us out of the division - a Moore or McBernie type that perhaps have a championship ceiling.

Tbh, I can’t find it. There’s this podcast when House states someone is advising Dragan to go for more experience but doesn’t say who. I’m sure he or Blackmore have said Rasmus is their footballer advisor so maybe I’ve over assumed.

We all know how this ends….Ron the coach driver in his 60s coming on and bullying Stephens/THB for McBurnie to prod a late winner. Ron saying in the post match interviews that 40 years of Benson & Hedges didn’t do him any harm.

I'm never sure about these sort of games, not a testimonial as such but will be a good reminder of some of the players we got to see in recent history. First players to be involved now announced, who else are we hoping to see?

Didn’t see that - possible - doesn’t reflect well on Spors if so. Nothing against the lad but awful to watch someone that far out of their depth.

What would have been your reaction if they had given Baz a new 4 year contract and signed nobody.

You would think a quick phone call to the Met to see how that "match" went would have been appropriate.

This is what will happen with further cost cutting, more decisions made via AI slop. It’s helpful as a base for meeting/workshop notes but YOU have to check for accuracy and quality before you even think about packaging it as informing a decision made at that high a level. Doesn’t matter what the sector is, you will fuck up something major if you don’t.

Great memories, the best time t9o be a Saints fan

*squeezes imaginary tit in their direction*

Absolutely remarkable situation, just to placate the local “community”

They might even get a coffee break from work.

Don't bring me into this depravity.

Once you’ve opened the floodgates to VAR, there’s no turning back. If you’re using technology to determine factual decisions then you have to stick to it. You can’t say, well if it takes longer than 2 mins, then it’s onside, you’ll end up with an offside goal being allowed because one VAR took 2mins 1 sec to make a decision, whereas a similar goal is disallowed because a different var took 1min 59 secs. Harland was offside, it was then up to the referee to determine whether he was interfering. Why everyone was getting their knickers in a twist is beyond me. The right factual decision was reached, & most people would say it was interference. The dopey bird co commentator said “we don’t want to see goals like that disallowed “. WTF, she wants to see offside goals allowed? You can’t be slightly offside, there aren’t degrees of offside. You’re either onside, or offside….Once you take that decision from the Lino or referee timescales don’t matter.

The report used by West Midlands Police to justify the ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans was generated by the Microsoft CoPilot AI tool, and referenced an entirely fictitious match between Maccsbi and West Ham.

Could you share your source for that please?

Hell of a claim for a player who has done this twice (I think) in his career so far and not outside of Belgium.

You'd think he'd be able to spot some of the vegetables we have on the field. I hear he can spot a good runner. He was instrumental in getting a goalie that isn't rooted to the spot. He has overseen the shoots of growth in the academy, and is now ready to prune the first team dead wood. Has experience with manure, so is used to dealing with s*** week in, week out. He is trying to stop the rot with perennial hope. His experience can help because he is used to dealing with things wilting and struggling to stay up. He has dealt with fertiliser for 4 years - pretty much the same as Sports Republic The time it took to watch plants grow has equipped him to be able to watch Saints playing out from the back. That's enough, i'm out...

But, other than that?

That’s when he was playing up front In the premier league with one of the worst squads to ever play in it. He had no runners around him and was effectively having to do it all rather than just be a focal point, linking play and being in the box for crosses. He’d score around 20 goals in this league if we played to his strengths which would be possible now we have Fellows, Scienza etc. he didn’t want to be here though and who can blame him. Interesting fans are now all calling for a player like him after largely giving him abuse whilst talking up that wet tissue Stewart. Oh and by the way unless we are spending £50m we are not getting a tall strong number 9 who also has pace. We will only get one or the other. If we are looking to spend £4m we will get neither.

Piroe, Salech, Igor Matanović One of them wil do Come on Spors stop fucking about and get someone in.

I’ve a nasty feeling we’ll see the standard failure from SR - lose a player that’s been hung out to dry and replace them with someone worse. That’s how much I trust SR to get any decision right. Peretz will be watched carefully in terms of him actually looking like a keeper.

I am sure Onuachu would have scored goals in the Championship but what people are forgetting is how knackered he always looked. There's no way he'd have handled the rigours of a 46 game Championship season. Pretty sure he wanted out anyway. Salech would be an ideal signing but there's no way Cardiff would let him go, and they'll be in the same league as us next season.
