Alright brauny. Makes you wonder, i guess alcohol and a Neolithic tribal instinct just possess's these bafoons. Guy behind me isnt too great on that front, after calling schlupp a useless donkey for the umpteenth time (along with being homophobic) i confronted him. Ended up getting punched (so did my mrs). Hoping the club do something about these idiots, they dont belong at football. File under never happened.

F’ing hell, just watched the highlights after saying I wouldn’t. The missed chances in this game defy belief. They didn’t even show Kelly’s free header. MacArthur is now the not so proud owner of one of the most ridiculously comedic misses I have ever seen. Clean through, no defender within 10 yards of him, keeper doesn’t charge him, PVA and benteke square for a tap in, and he somehow manages to f it up. It’s criminal really, a professional footballer has to score that 99 times out of 100, or square it for the tap in. It’s simply not good enough and somehow it has to improve. We need a player on the ball in that position, bearing down on goal with no defender within 10 yards, who can bury it or square it, like I said, 99 times out of 100. It’s as simple as that really, could be that player, or could be another one, but we need the player in that position to make a goal happen, we cannot let that chance go by without scoring a goal.
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

Yes, and that's why Mac needs to be on the bench for the next league game. If he can't tap that ball in, I'd rather start someone else in the next game. With the depth of our bench, Roy needs to start pushing accountability. If you fail that badly, you take a seat and someone else gets a chance.

Squaring the ball to a teammate who has an open goal tap in is one of the basics of the game. Wtf was Jimmy Mac thinking?

Whilst the miss was a terrible one, I try to look at the positives from it. The composure he showed before taking the shot was brilliant, he took his time, sat the keeper down and tried to lift it over him, if he scored it would have been a great goal but unfortunately he’s dragged it whilst trying to lift the ball. All players miss sitters, the best finisher in the league and possibly the world (Aguero) missed an even easier chance yesterday afternoon. It happens.

Yep and Snodgrass desreves EVERY bit of abuse thrown at him and more. What Snodgrass did is worse than Young/Salah & Capoue put together x 10!!! I’m not sure if you’ve looked into the incident because if you have no recollection of it I suggest perhaps you do before you are so quick to question peoples dislike of him. (Hull v Palace 10/12/16 - Snodgrass is a Cheat!) He went down under under no challenge and NO contact, conned the ref and took a penalty from it. Which HE then took and scored and celebrated beyond belief. That just tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about him and the lowlife person he is. It also typifies everything that is wrong with simulation in our game and those that perpetrate it. The incident was reported on heavily at the time and the fallout from it will quite rightly follow him throughout his life. He will never rid himself from the label of being a cheat of the highest order. I think shouting abuse at someone like that is perfectly reasonable given it is in a very noisy and crowded stadium and the proximity of the players to the crowd. The choice of words is down to the individual concerned. On an ordinary or quiet street it would be easier to walk up to him and tell him face to face that he is a cheating piece of scum and therefore shouting and swearing at him repeatedly wouldn’t be as appropriate in the given circumstances...or as effective!

Not seen it mentioned anywhere, but think Martin Kelly deserve special mention. Every times he comes in, he is doing a great job with no fuss - after Alan P. almost ruined him on the back!

There’s Benteke again. Nowhere near where he should be. PVA there instead.

That is Jmac's second miss at the same end recently albeit I can't remember who the last one was against.

Involuntarily yelled 'square it!' at my PC screen. The miss looks worse every time I see it.
