Looooooooooooovleeeeeeeeehhh

 

[RetfordBlade96]

be huge psychologically if we can get something here

Whatever manager says after match this has been shit

Did you really think anything different would happen tonight with the team that was out out? It's no worse than any team Wilder or Hecky has put out in the fiest round of the cup with the intention of not progressing any further. Perhaps it's your own expectations that need better management too.

 

[YES Blade]

We've sold some of the spine. Souza and Anel. We've replaced one of them , though he's not quite fully up to speed yet. We lost another part of the spine last year, Souttar and still haven't adequately replaced him in 10 months.

Agreed, hopefully Soumare will replace Souza and we obviously need to sort the defence.

Moore doesn’t need replacing because he was average at best.

 

[John Street Bar]

Yep, bye bye Gus - thank you
Good luck

 

[Vikkster]

What a goal

 

[nickwr37]

Fantastic and let's get going now for another goal.

 

[RetfordBlade96]

only Sky Sports could moan about a goal like that

 

[Enigmatic]

Unreal goal.

Side note... the ref has gone against us all night long. Given us nothing. Now that's all we'll hear.

 

[Dimyan93]

5 million on the pricetag

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Pick that out you Wednesday reject!

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Personally think a lot of goals from halfway line or near enough are overrated and often because the keeper is miles out.

Not the case here. Incredible effort.

 

[ATL Recs]

Good job the ref whose ( according to this post comments ) given them everything cocked up there great goal tho

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[The Crab]

Fat lads score goals.

Beautiful goal, play should have been stopped but fuck it

 

[blade79]

Who's the spine we've still got?

Gus recognises we have no spine and bypasses the rest from the half way line.

 

[Sydney Blade]

Finally, some “vertical”… was beginning to think I didn’t understand the plan

 

[blAdes96]

someone have recorded/ clipped the Hamer goal, Jesus - he’s magic

Na should be 7-1 it's been shite

 

[HillStreet Blade]

We'd be better off with Frank Cannon (wheelchair bound tv cop for those who don't know).

Sorry but wheelchair cop was Ironside.

 

[RetfordBlade96]

it took a touch off the ref to a birmingham player, then peck won it off him, nonsense from Sky/BBC

 

[RAP51]

We'd be better off with Frank Cannon (wheelchair bound tv cop for those who don't know).

Think that was Ironside, his lad plays for Donny now

 

[illimandem]

Bound to eventually payoff for Hamer. He tried it a few times last season and it’s finally payed off for the lad

 

[Ted Maul]

 

[Champagneblade]

JOC should not be the captain, gives off 'im 12 and the managers made me pay my missing subs vibe, so I'm gonna play shite'

Bit harsh on Jack O’Connell. He’s been gone about 2 years already!

 

[dn5 shaun]

He’s on his way.

Just added a million to his price tag

I suspect the Ref doesn't need VAR to know if the ball hit him.

If it was the other way around you would be rightly apoplectic

Not the case here. Incredible effort.

Keeper wasn't even far off his line

Definitely one of the best goals of this type I've seen

Highlight of the game tonight no matter what happens. Rare to see. So I don't begrudge that mad celebration at all
