And one of the worst pundits you could ever wish to see.

What would be defined as daylight? Thats where the added subjectivity would come into play. It seems pedantic how just a tiny part needs to be offside to be flagged as such, but at least that rule is clear.

If you started checking every throw in and corner though then you very much would be re-refereeing the game and it would take ages. With the offsides as it becomes more and more reliant on technology to speed up the process, I think bringing terms like daylight into it actually then brings in more subjectivity. The second yellow if it is clearly a wrong decision I agree should be changed. Caicedo definitely was correct to be sent off.

Not trying hard. 4 game bundles at that price or bring a friend are not going to make much difference.

The point was never about his ability or otherwise. Although to guide Celtic to wins in that league considering their resources is not an achievement. The point was about appointing someone because "he knows the club," a point apparently specifically relevant to Celtic or Rangers for some unexplainable reason.

I am not sure how Miller is replacing Sanderson, surely he and McLoughlin replace (downgrade) on Hyam and Batth.

Big if. Equally, it will be very difficult to maintain the away form across an entire season, both will level out to a degree. Hard to close out games with some of the dreadful squad players we have. Gestede said we have a better squad at the start of the season. I know even you have agreed that he was wrong. So I dont get why you think we could challenge for the play offs with a weaker squad.

Because you keep parroting about it being a overhaul. So I am trying to gauge whether you think a lower finish is down to us simply having a poorer squad. Or if its mainly just down to the level of change and once theyve settled we will kick on and return to challenging towards the play offs.

2 steps backwards and 3 steps forward, thats a bit of an adaptation.

Season tickets to bring a mate for a tenner is never a deal that is particularly successful. Cut the strings and at least just make it a tenner, full stop. No hoops to jump through.

Seems to be a question repeatedly ignored for whatever reason.

You keep mentioning how the "overhaul" of the squad was likely to lead to a lower finish. Just to clarify, thats not you hanging on to an idea that we are at the start of some sort of positive project, but because the squad is far worse and contains huge holes in quality and depth? Did you watch the game or is this based on the opinions of BBC Radio Lancashire commentators?

You don't really touch on it in your post, but what do you make of the players that came off the bench, the bunch of mainly recent Gestede signings; De Neve, Henriksson, Gueye and Baradji? You put the closing stages down to fatigue but we had made plenty of subs who were fresh but again totally incapable of managing the game or making correct decisions to lighten the load on those behind them.

I will think what I want, as it least it means that I think for myself. I get no consolation from seeing the opposition saying how good we are having failed to beat them. Became a weekly occurrence 2 seasons ago after defeats.

No transfer system leads to every signing working out. It certainly isnt my expectation. The issue with our "transfer system" is the quantity of duds, and these arent players who are just a bit underwhelming, the issue is quite how bad they are. Miles off the standard, and no awareness of managing a game properly.
