He mentions Waggott 'saying a lot' 🙂 

And again mentions the money we've brought in via sales.

The scenes in the away end when our second goes in. Love that!

[Herbie6590]

Has to be said…terrific entertainment, the game contained a bit of everything, except the what I believed to be an inevitable red card for Szmodics. 

Plus points : character in the 2nd half, Ennis’s cameo, Pickering’s work rate 

Negatives : no shots on target for about an hour, susceptible to the long, high ball over the top, only got going against ten men

Quite the roller-coaster today…

He is definitely keeping the pressure on re - incoming signings. Good.

What a joke of sending off.

Who made these rules up FFS

I'm listening to the Newcastle Utd. v. Aston Villa game and the crowd is absolutely incensed by some of the referee's decisions.

Pat. Nevin - co-commentator for Radio 5 at the game - answered your question, @OldEwoodBlue.

It's the International Football Association Board (IFAB) that come up with deciding what the Laws - "the rules" - of the game should be. And they've told member associations that they expect them to implement those rules. With very little room for interpretation.

And I read somewhere in the papers over the last week that Howard Webb, the new boss of English Referees, has said that IFAB won't leave him very much leeway and that a letter has been sent out telling Referees to implement the rules.

Not having been at our game, I can only guess that the Referee remembered that.

Got carded for "excessive celebration" then another card for saying something else to the ref after Carter challenged him.

What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall at JDT and Waggott's next interaction. JDT is clearly done with the guy and his saying what people want to hear.

Move jrc to replace Travis. Brittain in at right back. Ennis is quality and

For gods sake drop dolan 

[Northcote blues]

Thought hedges was good when he came on, Markanday did well for our penalty, but other than that, didn’t offer a great deal.

Desperate for Arnor Sigurdsson to be as good as we hope off the left when he’s fit!

When did BBD last miss a penalty?

Transfermarkt says he scored 6/6 for us.

I don’t know if that’s accurate or not.

JDT doesn't get it - the "money" decisions are taken in India, not by Steve Waggott.

2nd yellow was for flashing an imaginary card at the ref to get one of our lads booked, so the ref booked him instead. Looks like they're clamping down on that (not before time) , as a Newcastle player just got booked for same thing

Unless he(Jon) has a direct line there himself then using Mr Waggy is the best way to communicate with them.

Sorry; I can't help myself asking whether Sammie's set a new record by scoring two goals for one team and an "Assist" for the other team in a game which ended 2 - 2?!

🤔😆

That's correct; but two things occur to me: i) would any employee of a company the size of Venky's expect a reply from the Chairman of the Board if he wrote to them about the way that part of the company he works for is operating? I think not.

At best, he'd be ignored; at worst, he'd be marked down as a troublemaker and lined up - if not immediately - for a P45.

ii) in this case, weren't we the main group to whom JDT wanted to communicate a message?

[1864roverite]

It’s a point more than we took from their joint last season - agree top entertainment with a few negative points. On the park Ennis showed skill, SD didn’t let his poor first half get him down , Pickering should have broken the net twice Gally should have as well with his header. The big negative for me are the complete fukwits who follow us away - outside and inside the ground we have some real turds following us

I wouldn't disagree with your point other than to say that JDT is arguably the employee with the highest public profile in their entire portfolio.

We had 87% of the play.....dominating again... hopefully Wahlsted will soon be ready...

T.K. started for Luton Town. We could be swapping places with them, come season's end!

I couldn't get there today due to work commitments - is this a general comment, or specific things today?

Wow, you can see in his facial expression here he is not happy and the way he says "he said a lot in the last few weeks"

You can't help but love him.

Clearly he hated the 'there's no pressure, we're developing players' line from Waggot and also the promise of 4 new players. 

He's a winner.
