No, you’ve missed my point, I mean when has suspending a red card ever been a thing before Trump rang his mate and they made up another fkin rule to please him

No it hasn’t it’s been suspended for a year…..what does that even mean ffs

I think the main thing was the fact the referee was so fkin bad he didnt start brandishing the yellow card which would have at least curbed their antics a bit. Had they had the ref from the Morocco v Canada game he would have booked everyone on the pitch plus half the crowd! Anyone who likes the dark arts (ahem Eddie Howe) would have loved that game.

It was interesting to hear Tuchel say in an interview last night that was recorded before the FIFA time change fiasco that if you cant have 10-12 days to aclmiatise then you are better off going as late as you can. Given that surely the 6 hour brought forward plan would have surely benefitted England so I dont really understand why the FA got their knickers in a twist. Given the predicted 80% chance of thunderstorms in the area not taking that option could well backfire.

He'd be more mobile around the pitch than Azaz thats for sure! Yeah he could do that, he was certainly effective under Nathan Jones playing a more forward role. But this rumour is only cos Blackmore put his name out there in a fishing expedition isnt it ?

I really cant decide if JWP would be a good idea or not. I wouldnt want him coming back as an automatic starter ahead of Jander (if still here), Downes and Bragg but he would be an excellent option off the bench. Not sure he would be happy with that but tbh I cant see a Premier League club taking a chance on him after a not great move to West Ham and pretty piss poor loans at Forest and Burnley.

The measure to that in my mind would be is he better than Cameron Archer.

Doesn’t fit with Dragan’s angle that any punishment would be double jeopardy though.

Gardening leave during the summer?

When’s the last date for renewal? 1 or 2 July?

Apart from the manager being a bit of an idiot. He didn’t start him in the first game either so no guarantees he’s carrying a slight injury

Actually love all of those !

He sort of did, he referred to being willing to accept the right offer for players who have been here a while but really wasn’t interested in selling players at the start of their journey here.

That one will be Bazunu then, unless Russ signs him for Leicester of course

West Ham interested……naturally 🤦🏻

I’m surprised he’s gone there tbh.

No, he didn’t bribe the opposition to lose matches ffs.

That’s absolutely awful, condolences to the Hughes family.

I suspect with every goal he scores Mallorca let out a heavy sigh realising they could have gotten a fair few quid more for him !

The ref on ITV made a twat of herself there telling us why penalty was the correct decision only to have to back peddle rapidly a minute later !!

We don’t need to loan any player out who’s coming back with his head full of Russball

I agree that when it went well it could be brilliant to watch. But the frustration lies in when its 0-0 or you are 1 down and time is running out yet the team are still passing sideways and back. For me Russball depends far too much on how comfortable your players, defenders in particular, are on the ball. Problem is as you get lower down the pyramid they become less and less comfortable. Leicester should have enough quality even after selling some to get back up, but I dont think it will be plain sailing and without Russball causing more than a few frustrations along the way.

Thats a good point. The Championship is a long hard slog for players, especially if you happen to have a bit of a cup run in either competition thrown in for good measure. Maybe he realises his body just isn't up to it. In which case he's virtually nailed on to go back to Scotland to finish his career. Anyone who hpoes he gets injured needs to take a look at themselves ffs.

Just seen the minutes from the last Fan Advisory Board meeting held on 11 May and that says new shirt release will be July/August due to front of shirt discussions, or words to that effect. So may have to wait a week or two for that

Christ knows why he was left on the bench until the 75th minute, crazy decision
