Just watched it back and he didn't, he just stood there with his flag by his side so all very suspicious.

Did the lino actually put his flag up for offside?

But he didn't score the goal nor interfere in any way.

We've had a blatant penalty not given and now a perfectly legit goal disallowed - what will the bent officials come up with next?

The lino put the board up with his number on.

It's Tonda laughing at them as he plays rope a dope 🙂

Tonda's football brain is like a frigging computer. His win ratio is off the scale. Few of us knew who he was when Spors appointed him U21 coach. The guy is an absolute football genius.

West Ham have already lost 3 home games. You don't win this league with those sort of stats so they need a vast improvement in their home form or they'll be dropping like a stone.

20 goals scored in 7 games and 19 points from 21 at Fortress St Marys!

Thy better hope he doesn't pick up a long term injury because they are so reliant on him whereas we can score goals without Larin.

Joint best goal against. Often the way with Tonda at the helm. Happens too often for it to be a coincidence. Guy is a tactical genius. This lot smacked 5 past Swansea last week and were lucky the bent officials disallowed the perfectly legit goal scored by Dobbins. 3 goals away to Hammers last weekend and another 4 today without Larin.

That is fucking cheating. Corner, header, goal. Stephens actions have no bearing on that. Ridiculous.

I sensed the opposite based on Tonda later implying that Dobbin will start tomorrow. I'm expecting the same starting X1 with Downes on the bench.

Even allowing for Spygate, Tonda Eckert has been a revelation. A virtually unknown coach in his early 30s with limited experience was bought in to manage our U21s and then quickly found himself in charge of the first team on an interim basis. He did enough to be given a chance to take on the role permanently and has overseen an astonishing set of results over a year. The club stuck by him during everything that was being thrown at us by the press, MSM and pundits. One guy who maybe doesn't get the credit he deserved is Johannes Spors who worked with Tonda in Italy and clearly saw something special in him which led to him bringing him to the club. Spors doesn't get everything right but his judgement on what Eckert might be able to achieve has proved to have been really astute so full credit to him for that.

Can you imagine Russball at Man Utd 🙂
