‘Putting Egos aside’ - about as obvious a reference to Rasmus Ankerson as you could get.

And certainly no selfie sticks.

Who the Oath Keepers are for those not aware. Lunatics with PTSD in essence, very violent and some crossovers with the KKK https://extremism.gwu.edu/oath-keepers

Agree with the bottom part of the current spineless home support but not the top part. The fan protests especially the boycotts played a role in Lowe’s departure because the banks were even less willing to back a businessman with an already patchy record being able to stabilise a large organisation he’d already made a total mess of once. If your customers base, stakeholders and industry don’t rate you, lenders won’t continue to back you. The cheque from Leon Crouch was the spark. And the Branfoot protests meant shirt sponsorship was harder to find - Dimplex stepped in at last minute as fans but that, the dwindling gates and protests meant Branfoot was untenable and Lawrie was brought in to get rid of him (Lawrie’s book). Where we meet in the middle is that Solak doesn’t need the banks as much as Lowe and Askham did - although he’s been ejected seemingly from his own company board so that may change. But how long would he want to write huge cheques to stem massive SFC losses based on 15k gates, stand closures and protests?

Him and East Stand Weirdo are doing my head in.

He’d buy Leicester - was at SMS last season when we collapsed to them.

In summary - Tonda vanished for an hour after the game seemingly trying to evade interviews, eventually did them starting with Sky. Pulled apart Tonda’s ludicrous assertion that’s it a game they win most times based on XG, frustrated with lack of urgency after Stewart scored and plodding play when urgency was needed. Just a sense that overall he’s a young lad being used as a patsy for SR’s bonkers experiments. As @AlexLaw76 added, his analyst badkground in no way prepares him for the ups and downs of a job this size. Hence the players don’t respect him either and the lack of on-pitch leadership comes up yet again.

We were the original.

I’d go for Challinor - organisation, fitness, cut the Martinball out with fines in training.

Might be the first time the two sets of fans have ever sung the same song at the same time.

Horrific domestic ratings - and this before the impact of the ICE murder in Minnesota kick in https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/01/polling-trump-popularity-policy-immigration-economy-election/

I couldn’t believe it when I heard that, but many posted that on here and said it online so it has to be true. Not just soft, but very dense and simple as well.

SR needs to sell its clubs and get out of the industry. Rasmus Ankerson et al have spaffed Solak’s money up the wall.

At least after getting walloped there, the fanbase doesn’t have to pretend to support the likes of Flynn Downes, Ryan Manning and Nathan Wood any longer and get stuck in. The more piss takes the better. Give them some of the misery they’ve enforced on the fans.

If you were under 40 and wanted to know what my generation and older talk about when they describe what the poorer Division 1 grounds used to look like in the 1970s and 1980s, the Milton end at the Fish Shed is it.

The France-Ireland game being on a Thursday night - saw that and thought ‘WTF?!’

It was on going home with Adam and Joe - pretty scathing.

Completely different situation and level of experience.

Martin’s trio from Swansea. Loathe all three of them. Wood joins Bazunu in my worst ever XI from both the Championship and PL, I think Manning is making a very strong case to be in it as well. Need to loan in a CB, DML and put Wood and Manning in the bomb squad.

Best suited at Russell Martin’s house on matchdays or wherever Russell Martin turns up next.

Neil Maddison, ex-Boro and Saints midfielder, made exactly this point to Adam Blackmore at Boro (2 mins in) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0ms2cfm
