  1. Can we have one please mods? Just as a bit of "fun". I've watched the super slow-mo's several times and so I am quite amazed that some people seem to think McGoldrick committed a handball. Now, I enjoy a tommy-tank as much as the next man but I'm pretty confident that it is really quite obvious that the ball hit McGoldrick on the back of his shoulder/neck and head and that my eyesight is superb. Can we settle this once for all?
  2. Chorley is without doubt a legend IMO. Hilarious bloke. He will keep us all amused with his antics throughout our darkest hours. I think the OS should follow up its last story about him with a regular "Where's Chorley?" feature.
  3. Probably not. It's kind of vital that the manager is competent.
  4. I think we're the only one Revolutionary enough to persevere.
  5. Can we knock it down, drag The Dell flats over there and rebuild The Dell instead please?
  6. ooh, er missus No, indeed they did not, but if footballers play badly they tend to get slated. It's that kind of industry and I think the realisation that Lowe's grand vision is a hollow dream will unfortunately be a problem borne by them as well as all true fans of the club.
  7. In the real world CVAs don't work. Not sure why the FA is fixated with them - especially when it's its own greed and incompetence that partially fosters the financial mess the game is in.
  8. Maybe if they weren't trumpeted as the products of the world's greatest ever academy at every opportunity and we weren't constantly fed nonsense about what lovely football they play and how they've grown up playing an attacking Dutch style we might be a little more forgiving. Oh, and "not much of a fan" - good one.
  9. It's a 10 point penalty for administration. In either the season you enter it or the next if it occurs later in the season. You can get further deductions for irregularities or for failing to agree a CVA (I think). Quite why the FA insists on agreeing a CVA is anyone's guess.
  10. Returning the club to the ownership of those who have some connection with the local community and an understanding of what our core supporters want would be my preference. The Premiership club is gone. The money is gone. The crowds are gone. We might as well have something we can be proud of on a moral level at least.
  11. Fair play, and I agree that the lads will need careful management as they must be getting fairly demoralised but I think whatever benefit this brings will ultimately be futile unless we do something more drastic quickly.
  12. Come off it. A positive spin is the last thing we need. We need to recognise we are rubbish and change things.
  13. So presumably Forest fans who dared to hope for a win were "naive". Clearly 95 times out of 100, Man U will beat this awful Saints team. That doesn't mean the manager's ludicrous decisions or the players' limp, scared, gutless performances cannot be questioned.
  14. This is the point >>>
  15. Why persist with this glib crap?
  16. Unbelievable attitude IMO.
  17. It didn't touch his arm. An important element of the handball offence IMO. Also, I don't know about you, but the elbow is where my arm bends.
  18. He had his arm curled to protect his face. Anyway - who cares? We were **** and well beaten, regardless of what the ref was playing at.
  19. 5 attempts on goal in a home match = relelgation quicker than you can say "madcap lunatic revolutionary coaching setup". Five. 3 of them wide. Pathetic.
  20. Because we played awfully?
  21. Remarkable how he's been playing so well if he can't see properly!
  22. A tad dramatic.
  23. It's sad because I was genuinely enthused by Poortvliet for the first four games of the season but unfortunately we are just getting worse and worse.
  24. Yeah, we'd have stuffed them otherwise.
