Could Camara's issues be related to flying to Africa and playing two games? (I know cabin pressure affects athletic recovery, but not for how long afterwards.) Did we have a big clear out of the sports scientists and physios under Dai? Perhaps we're still a bit threadbare in the back office? Or perh...

£1,000 fine and no ban, according to the commentary.

I know, I was replying to Ian.

I'd still prefer to have ex-players/managers.

Personally, I think if I wanted to listen to some fan’s opinion I could just go to a pub (or read them here). Can they really not find an ex-player each week?

If he’s still a U20 player, they may have been after him for the youth (primavera) squad - looking online, it looks like more than half of those players are foreigners, so perhaps they try to hoover up anyone that looks like having potential. In the hope of finding a couple that make the grade?

Makes you wonder how we’ve held on to Carey through all of the problems.

When they choose Port Vale over us you have to think he prefers life up north. This is such an arrogant, stuck up mindless thing to say For saying he might prefer to live in an area he grew up in? everything okay at home Ian? I think Ian's suggesting it's arrogant to assume that when a player choos...

Never listen to what they are saying to you. Listen to why they are saying it. Always follow the money. Is this meant to sound profound? Because, basically, salesmen are trying to sell you stuff - this is not a remarkable observation. Do you also write angry letters to the ASA when your brand of de...

Couhig said in an interview early he loved fireworks, and he does it to attract kids to the matches. Mate, if they can see the fireworks they’re already at the game, ffs. :D :D I'm in the "what a waste of money " camp. As Sutekh says , this is not America and not only are we are a more cy...

If Doyle can't get into the starting XI in the league, shouldn't we play him here? If he picked up a goal or two), that could be a good boost.

Perhaps we'll get a cut of any loan fee agreed. Obviously, we'll never be privy to commercially sensitive details like the deal with Dai, but I'd have thought the easiest deal to manage would have been to pay him a certain proportion of any money they make above an agreed value when they sell the cl...

Paddy Lane... rhymes with Train. Only train song I can think of is Ocean Colour Scene - Day we caught the train.... it might work Paddy Lane... rhymes with rain. Loads of rain songs. I never meant to cause you any sorrow I never meant to cause you any pain I only wanted, one time, to see you laughi...

Selles bailed for a job that had a guaranteed pay-check every month - most of us would have walked out on an employer who missed payday so often long before he did.

Can anyone explain why (other than the referee was a tit) the injured PV player who received extensive treatment on the pitch didn't have to leave the pitch? I couldn't believe that either......Some of the refereeing hit a new low today. It was awful. Blatent pushes not given, and one where a PV pl...

Not quite sure how rule 3.1 (which is what Selles was done under) has to do with kicking the ball away. Was NH behaving improperly towards the officials before kicking the ball away? FA Rule E3.1 states: "A Participant shall at all times act in the best interests of the game and shall not act ...

Fits the Ian Harte mould of a signing, hopefully has the same effect as he definitely has the quality. I was thinking Salako, although I see now he was younger than I remembered when he signed for us. Still, could do a similar role - I valued Salako for his nous and game management as much as for h...

But if O'Mahony is out on international duty, who's going to score the goals?

Really easy to put together a crisis-to-Couhig doco with archive footage, talking heads, and shakey-cam footage of the exec suite, all of which would also be quite cheap to produce. Could easily be day-time filler on a dedicated sports channel like ESPN.

Was watching Liverpool last night and they had Salah marking Burn at times from corners . Must be some weird plan or another that definitely didn’t work today Isn’t that quite normal - the defenders mark the forwards and the forwards mark the defenders. I’m sure I can times when that’s come up on M...

Didn’t Selles say he dropped/changed the full-backs frequently because in the modern game it’s quite a high-intensity, so you need to refresh the players.
