Exiled in Toronto Mk2

I saw this game alright here in Canada but the previous game I accidentally paid twice as it didn’t take me to a transaction completed page - zero response from them re my request for a refund.

Is his reputation something that might its way into a team briefing Tony? Or are such things kept within the refereeing community? Until now, obviously! 😂 I thought Hedges betrayed his attacker’s mindset with the challenge, trying to win a ball where he started second favourite. As Tyrone explained very well earlier, a defender mindset is to stop anything bad happening first and foremost. Jockey the guy down there and the chances are it goes for a throw in or nowhere in particular.

Nonsense. It’s the Wrexham match thread. Many posters, including me, enjoyed our performance at Wrexham. Or is that “waxing too lyrical” for you?

A question that sounds a lot like trolling. One can despair at the state of a club but enjoy a decent 90 mins effort from a team. I did.

I read Arbitro’s posts avidly, we played in the same primary school team, but there are two separate issues: was it a foul? Probably not. Did Hedges need to make any contact at all? Definitely not: it was a foot from the touchline and six feet from the corner flag, there were two defenders right there and another not far away, zero risk in that situation.

His first priority was to keep the guy boxed in down there and hope to win a throw in; second priority was to not let a cross come in; least priority was to take any risk at all trying to win the ball back. A cross onto Moore’s head was the worst possible outcome from that situation and that’s what initiating contact led to, bad call or not.

Some harsh but understandable comments. I thought the starting 11 played well and we scored a top notch goal. Yuki’s finishing is getting concerning, the guy can’t buy a goal. Forshae, Morishita, young George and even the dodgy Aussie all played really well I thought. I thought we’d withstood the siege but Hedges stupidity, a great header back to the penalty spot by Moore and a wicked deflection cost us two points.

Ooofft!! What a good counter-attack, no way I thought he’d get the header in.

I for one am enjoying watching the current iteration of Valerian’s team more than any other since the League 1 promotion team. I love the effort and watching players find their feet and emerge. It’s the first time I’ve thought 3-5-2 has got legs: we have two great wingbacks who actually play as wingbacks, and two up front who combine Herculean effort with great poaching. Toth and Cantwell will improve us further. Onwards!

Lolzzzz

I don’t know what instructions Hedges has been given, but he isn’t playing to them. And how I’ve missed Pears doing his blame others gesture while doing nothing to stop goals going in. The one Toth saved with his outstretched foot, Pears would’ve stayed on his feet then done the arms wide you guys fucked up thing.

I (as another former marketing professional) agree. The 150th anniversary is the anniversary of our founding, not of all the bits inbetween. It’s a celebration of what happened 150 years ago, just like a wedding anniversary is a celebration of the wedding day. If, to pick a completely random example 🙄, the groom had a moustache at the wedding 40 years ago but shaved it off a couple of years later, looks better without it and virtually everyone only knows him without it, that wouldn’t justify airbrushing it out of the wedding photo reprinted for the occasion.

Fair do’s that was the best half of football I’ve seen for ages, the players went all out for it and deserved the win. Great performances from Toth, Alebiosu, Montgomery.

Shit kicked out of him by McLoughlin

Miller again. I want to like the guy but he really is dogshit
