v Millwall (a) - 21/12/2024

[booth]

 It's one of those games were too many players are off it and when we do go forward it's like they've never played together before. There's no coherence, it's just hopeful, hoping for a slip up from a defender.

[OsloRover]

That should have been a pen for Ohashi

[superniko]

Some blinkers in this chat re: the ref who has had a fairly steady game in my opinion. The Cozier-Duberry one might have looked soft at first but it was studs on the lower shin/ankle. VAR in the prem and it’s worse than just a free kick to Millwall 

(view may change when I see this penalty shout again)

[Forever Blue]

Rigger’s just in from the pub

Why is Ohashi taking too many touches before striking it? He's been hanging around with Dolan too much.

[booth]

Their player a mile offside, corner given 🙄

[yankfan]

JRC just hoofing it long every time he touches it

It wasn't. Took a bad third touch off his thigh.

It's part of the gameplan.

Must be

[B16Rover]

Take a punt!

[Exiled_Rover]

ACD should have scored there - as I said, he's not as fast as you'd hope he'd be. 

[booth]

Every fucker taking a touch instead of shooting, and ended up not getting one shot.

[BigBar]

Criminal from ACD. Total fuck up. 

[Angry_Pirate]

That's fucking inexcusable from ACD. Pathetic.

[RevidgeBlue]

Duberry should have done a lot better there. Forgot to take the ball with him at the last minute. Should have shot or played Gueye in.

Low on confidence. Badly needs a goal. 

[booth]

This referee is really weird. He'll give soft free kicks and then obvious free kicks he waves away.

[superniko]

Not many softer lads than Cantwell have stepped foot on a football pitch. 
Surprised he’s got 60 minutes away at Millwall. 

[Exiled_Rover]

I hate teams like Millwall - pushing, pulling, leaving studs in, but also roll around trying to draw fouls.

Either play hard or don't.

[booth]

Duberry off for Dolan. Not the change I'd have made.

In a world obsessed with "philosophy" and "playing the right way" Millwall really have stuck to their blood and thunder and getting stuck in way of play. Have to admire it in a way but didn't get them far.

Expand  

That is their philosophy. And as far as their caveman crowd are concerned it's playing the right way.

(Not actually knocking that style tbf, the game is mostly about winning and nothing wrong with a bit of passion...Millwall fans are proper scum though by and large)

[Exiled_Rover]

ACD off for Dolan.

Interesting choice.

I knew that, so I've no idea why I didn't think to bet on under 2.5 goals and also on Travis being booked, which was an inevitability in this game!

Expand  

I thought the exact same lol. Happens every weekend. Also I get stung sometimes - I put a bet on say, Dolan to be first goal scorer, 5 mins into the match one of the commentators will say “an interesting stat is that Dolan has never scored first in any match” 🤦‍♂️
