I've got a terrace season ticket

We won. A Steve Thompson flying header.
-
I'm a big fan of Southampton's
-
Going to be a struggle to read a worse take on anything today than that

Must be odd to be forced at gunpoint to read things you don't want to read then type out a whole paragraph about how you don't want to read it and that you've got nothing to say about it
-
It's a good point, and one people often forget when discussing whether a manager will move. Gaz is a family man and he's got kids at school. Big decision to either uproot the family or commit to spending a lot of time away from them. I'd be much …

That was a bit lazy of me so I looked it up. It was our old friend "undisclosed fee" but one report suggests it could rise to £8M
-
They've made a bit of cash from player sales though haven't they? How much did Leicester pay for James Justin? Millions, surely?
-
The word "abuse" has lost all meaning
-
Proper badge that

I'm amazed, but to be fair there were plenty of people saying it shouldn't have been a red
-
The right thing is the right thing Sad that you think doing it makes us mugs. I'll agree to disagree

It's a sad situation when someone wanting their team to act in a respectful and sportsmanlike manner is something to be mocked

@glasshalffull said: Where did I say that? You are putting words in my mouth. That is not what I meant but if you want to twist things to suit your own agenda then go ahead. I’m sure more reasonable people will understand exactly what I meant. …

You are saying you don't want us to obey the laws and act in a sportsmanlike manner. As I said, a sad situation

@glasshalffull said: A few years ago, a prominent member of the board of directors at WWFC proposed that we should set the standard for good behaviour by never diving or appealing for free kicks, never arguing with referees etc. Sadly, I had to p…

I'd imagine that the actual commentators are in fact a lot more diligent in this respect whereas the studio pundits are not. Fair comment?
-
That's a great point actually, and I think could commentators and studio pundits not knowing the laws of the game feeds into this perception that referees make lots of mistakes. I've long thought that all commentators, co-commentators and studio …

-
The whole VAR debate is relevant to this because the whole thing came about because at some point it became unacceptable for us to accept that referees sometimes miss things or make incorrect decisions. Never mind what we have to give up in the proc…
-
Not look at your role in the outcome? They are assessed every game aren't they? And calling someone who makes a mistake a "bully" is ridiculous
-
And also, often they're not getting it wrong at all and still getting abused.
-
The entire match was played in a pretty toxic atmosphere seemingly lacking in any respect for each other or the officials. Both teams were guilty of it and frankly I hope both clubs get punished for the conduct of their players. It might seem …
-
I'm not playing Devil's Advocate, honestly. People might disagree with me, and many do, but I always give honestly held opinions despite what some posters have said about me on here, labelling me a troll and other such things.
-
I don't think opponents' poor behaviour excuses our own. Some posters seem to be simultaneously criticising Barnsley whilst also imploring our own players to follow suit. It's the online version of when the Valley Terrace has a go at oppositio…
-
Regardless of what you think about the modern game and whether it's gone a bit soft, tackles like the one last night are almost always punished with a red card. An absolutely pointless appeal
