I’d love to know what an opposition manager says to their team at half time in a game like ours on

Saturday

“Boss, we’ve done everything you asked. We’ve hustled them, we’ve let them know we’re about with some early doors reducers, we’ve given them a general sense of unease about their physical safety.... but they’re still absolutely dicking all over us. What are we supposed to do now?

MoN: Hmmmmmmm. Ok, tell yer what, I've got a plan. Instead of borderline reckless tackles that the ref's likely to let go because we're underdogs - y'know, the type that broke Ramsey's leg a few seasons back - why don’t we try the more snide variety. I reckon a nice ambiguous stamp on the bottom of the calf could be our route back into this game.

Shockingly poor.

Even Blenkinsop's first came, IIRC, in a passage of play where they'd got away with several fouls in a row.

I'm looking forward to our luck "evening itself out" and us being able to kick the crap out of some other team without punishment. :nod:

rather than some chap that comes in a bit late and rakes his studs down some c**ts leg

but seem to remember we were quite lucky at the time

More of the same, it is only 1-0 and as long as it is 1-0 we are in the game. Keep it tight and we'll nick the equaliser. Important not to concede a 2nd or let the game slip away from us.

Oh sorry, you weren't looking for a genuine answer?

Cattermole should've been sent off in the 2nd minute. There were 3 wreckless tackles in the first 10 minutes where they flew in with no thought. Can remember Bramble flying in and one on the touchline where Jack just about hurdled it.

I was pretty mad after the first 10 minutes because the ref was far too lenient.

but they did appear to get away with countless fouls. Cattermole's yellow should have been a red
