HarryBosch Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I do, how was your day out at Burnley v Hull today then ? Did you enjoy the drum there then ? I thought I could hear one at one point and asked the Burnley fan we were with "is that a drum?" He looked at me in utter disgust. I thought he was going to hit me They were banging the hoardings or something. I don't even want to say this because I'm boring myself with it now but, the atmosphere ebbed & flowed with the game. As it should. It wasn't as loud and hostile as I expected though. Hull's fans were terrible. They knocked out the odd Euro-dirge that would've made even you lot blush but were very quiet in the main.

HarryBosch Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Careful, he could read that wrong and think people don't think he's a know end. I've been called lots of things in my life, few of which I could argue with but, know end is a step too far. Too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShireBlue Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Surprised their shot from Cox that Rachubka tipped over the bar wasn't on there. That was an incredible save, and Cox went straight to Chubs to shake his hand before the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Don't think it's been mentioned yet, but the bloke sat next to me said he was speaking to Gordon at half time. Apparently a virus has been going around and many of the the squad had been told to stay away. Noted the lack of options on the bench given the strength in depth we have this year. I had to search on google to find out who 'Tuory' was (no disrespect), and Forte played with effects of the virus and with his knee playing up. It wasn't a great performance but don't be too critical. A case of turning up, doing a job, great result and we move on. I expect LJ to eco these thoughts in his match summary, and now a week to recover for the next big test 'Crawley next Sat' Perhaps I was too harsh on Poleon then.

Cox actually went out of his way as he was the corner taker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_bro Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 The FA is really doing it's best to demean this competition. Not only do they insist on both semi-finals being played at Wembley, in order to repay the debt of building it. They have insisted on clubs playing with a ball that I for one can't see very well. I admit I have poor eye sight and at times in the 2nd half, I completely lost the ball. At one time I thought Rachubka had the ball when it was actually in touch on the half way line. Which brainless idiot designed this pink ball with large black areas on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which brainless idiot designed this pink ball with large black areas on it? I agree. It was ok (but worse than usual) when I was towards the back off the RRE. When I headed to the front in injury time I really didn't have a clue where it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, Jones delicate free kick might not have reached with the other ball. Edited November 9, 2014 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which brainless idiot designed this pink ball with large black areas on it? Got to agree .. Sat half way up the Chaddy and for the last 20 minutes if it was up the RRE all I could see was players legs swinging but had no idea where the ball was. I assumed it was due to distance and gathering darkness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to the 3rd round they will probably change the ball to another manufacturer, lighter still with red and green spots, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Sounds like the sort of thing Barry would be aware of and raise through his official channels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, Jones delicate free kick might not have reached with the other ball. With his reaction after scoring (running to LJ) I think they may have discovered something whilst training with the new pink ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the LP commentary on Saturday Roy mentioned having problems keeping track of the ball when he was watching the Friday night game on TV. He wasn't the only one, add me to the list. That ball has been designed by an idiot. Edited November 10, 2014 by laticsrblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcprozac Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Although our form will have to explode if we are to equal the 1 defeat in 61 home games between February 1989-September 1991 of the 61 we won 48 of them. Boundary Park has rarely been a fortress since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
