Re: Burton Albion v Cheltenham Town

Southwood: kicks the ball with his left foot, goes down holding his right foot.

Commentators: that's the foot he's been trying to avoid kicking with because of his injured toe.

Me: what?

But you can score with it! And it's pretty hard to run with a shoulder injury. Especially if it's a bad one.

Sorry, this 'member' is fully expecting another tepid performance and poor result, helped by more terrible officiating. Will obviously be pleasantly surprised if the outcome is otherwise. Luckily, none of the players will be (or bloody well shouldn't be) looking on here.

No way I'd be thinking about letting Clarke go. Last 2 games he's got wrong yes, but maybe we're simply a poor side and it's only DC's miracle work that's put us anywhere near safety. Not sure. He had a team that was doing pretty well, but they've turned to utter s#!t and he can't seem to sort them...

I know everything seems worse when you're doing s#!t. But at half time, where's the music? Jim Haggin didn't even commentate on the crossbar challenge, just quickly read out the names half way through. Everything seems so f#!$ amateur right now in every department.

Re: Cheltenham Town v Bristol Rovers

The goalkeeper seems to actually be injured for once, the defence is an absolute mess, the midfield is virtually non-existant and the strikers haven't had a touch around the opposition penalty box, and both of our relegation rivals are winning. Other than that, it's fine.

"How s#!t must you be, we've scored a goal" might be sung first. Also, on the Wade comment, it's pretty accurate. First 12 games we were c!#p. Next 24 we were a top half team. Final 12, so far, back to the same dross as the first quarter. Although we are scoring the odd goal now, a lot of ...
