Yep. Awful. Wrong decisions and poor execution today.

Looks like he's killed himself. Hopefully won't run it off.

Great goal. Lovely touch, pace, finish. Class🇯🇵

You're not the post positive are you. We're 1 nil down. Getting forward. Have 29 points. We'll be fine.

Yep, Bednarek's man. Stephens is pushing up and Redmond coming inside.

Yep. Good movement into some very central positions.

Excuses. We were shit and capitulated.

Yep, and perfectly understandable to be honest.

I'll take Appy's knowledge and information over your irritating pedantry every day of the week.

Very happy with that. We're winning this. 3-1. COYS.

I wouldn't play Ramsey over Stephens personally, and certainly wouldn't put Djenepo on the same side as him again. Two lambs to the slaughter against United and I we can't repeat that. If Djenepo is on the right I'd want the experience of Stephens at RB. Nervousness is understandable but I'm feeling good about this. I think we'll see a huge reaction and get something from it.

Cheers. I'll take that. Stephens RB, Vest and Bednarek in the middle is decent enough. Romeu in the middle with JWP. We've got a chance of result tomorrow.

Fair point re Marcus. It was crass, apologies. I can't agree re Kat though. She sold to the highest/only bidder. Anyone would have done the same and our current plight has nothing to do with her.

Probably because he was the person willing to pay her the most money. it's what I do when I sell an asset, ditto anyone else who's being honest. Your blaming Kat is like me selling someone my house on his promise to look after it, only for it fall into ruin, and the neighbours moaning at me cos it's an eyesore. If you have an issue with Gao moan about him. Next you'll blame Marcus for dying.

Why is our current financial mess Kat's fault? Someone else is driving the ship so if it's sinking, it ain't down to her.

You're correct, but it hasn't worked. Personally I'm all for scrapping the current model but operating a rugby style system for checking key decisions to get the correct one, and for the ref to be mic'd up for full transparency. It works in rugby and could work in football.

Yes it's a daft analogy, but to be fair to Weston, there is an inconsistency from Wright. On one hand he's really upset by it, but he then puts the screen shots into the public domain a year or so later dredging it all back up, only then to forgive the kid, but is then outraged when his forgiveness is factored into the sentence.

Incompetent (I resisted the temptation)

The question posed was around the sentence. The sentence seemed proportionate to me. Wright, like most victims, wanted more but it's not his decision. He'd forgiven the lad by all accounts so I'm not sure what more he expected over and above a permanent stain on his record which has happened anyway by all the media stuff. On the incident itself, it shouldn't have happened. Social media keeps being used by these idiots to use as a platform for racism. Take our boy Jankewitz, he deserved criticism for his actions but the racism is unacceptable. We know that, but how do we stop it happening, and how do we react when it does? Sure track the racists down and deal with them, but is the constant focus and publicity helping or hindering? I honestly don't know but gut feeling is that it's not achieving anything positive. Morgan Freeman had something to say about that, and as a black man from the deep south, he knows a bit more than any white man from Hampshire.

That's sad to hear, but given the idiotic comments from some on here and what's been happening with other black players, I'm not surprised. He is a good player. He was good enough to get a chance and blew it big time. The behaviour of some fans, grown men, is much worse than his mistake. Shameful.

Yep, that's how I read it. The impact on the victim is factored into sentence in our system, but I have no idea about their system and it's not clear from the article whether that was the case and the only reference is Wright's forgiveness. The kids clearly been an idiot, and whether it's on a formal record or not, it's all over the media and he'll be impacted by it for a long time I'd imagine.

My reading is that he was prosecuted and given probation, some training to help him to have better understanding, and had his name all over the media. It seems that Wright's gripe is that the lad doesn't have a permanent stain on his record, although that seems to be a quirk of their legal system - but he was dealt with and punished. It's not clear from that article that Wright's forgiveness made much difference to the sentence, and the main thing that made the difference was the kids remorse. That's understandable and would be the same here. I didn't see the kids posts, but the sentence seems proportionate based on the article.

My guess is that Luiz red will be rescinded and Bednarek's won't be. The explanation will be the distance between the defender and attacker. All bollox of course, neither was a foul.

I was responding to the poster who insinuated that the lad got sent off as part of a bet. You may think that a reasonable thing to say about a young lad. I say it's fucking stupid. What Jankewitz got wrong is obvious. We all saw it. If you're asking me what was going through his mind obviously I can't say but as a sensible person I'd suggest a rush if blood to his head on debut. Nothing sinister, just excitable naivety.
