Fuck, if it’d gone in, knowing our luck, it would have been awarded a goal and then King would have been sent off with a red just because…
There was an incident in the first half with one of the WSW players holding onto Lolley’s arm as he ran down the wing. There was no foul as it seems that advantage was being played, but even the commentators were completely shocked when there was no yellow card awarded after.
So as so often it’s been, the Wanderers forum is surprisingly civil.
Although Mack’s post-match report included this. I think he must be being held hostage.
It was the least SFC deserved after dominating the entire match
I’ve just watched Rudan’s press conference. What am absoloute cunt of a human he is. Just throwing players under the bus like that.
Whilst it’s enjoyable watching that mob go through Groundhog day season after season, I hope the prick gets sacked, he fucks off to Croatia and we never hear from him again. Just a foul human being.
If advantage is awarded, aren’t the referees disallowed from giving a yellow card? Or have IFAB changed their underwear again and decided to revert that little rule?
It really is amazing as it’s clear that he was outclassed tactically. At least this game, it really wasn’t that much of an issue with individual mistakes as more just not having any other tactics apart from weathering the storm and hoping to hit us on the counter. There really isn’t that many teams that can take that sort of pressure for such a long time. For large portions of the game, they were defending with 10 men in the box. WSW was relying on the pace of some of their players to put pressure on us, but Talak playing Matthews as CB actually negated a whole load of that.
A lot of people were having a go a the WSW defence for letting Lolley cut in from the left and take a shot, but that was the first time he’d actually been able to do it all game. Each other time, he was closed down or pushed off his line.
I still don’t understand why they have their faces covered. I mean sure it’s a little bit embarrassing to meet your new players and bring cup cakes, but it’s not illegal
I dont find the cupcakes themselves cringy… who doesn’t like receiving cupcakes? I’m sure Joe Lolley would have loved a dozen cupcakes on arrival. It was more the 'ardmen wearing black and masking up deal that made me laugh.
I think you just unintentionally hit the nail on the head.
It’s the juxtaposition of you have these 'Fully 'ard Green Street Hooligan/Neo Nazi(s) all balaclavad up, in black menacing clothing, trying to look all tough and intimidating.
In front of them are trays of brightly colored cupcakes. Cupcakes - cake in general - generally emote a light, jovial, rather celebratory scene of fun, laughter and happiness.
So on one hand you’ve this little celebratory icon of cake, with a bunch of wanna-be thugs.
It’s amusing, and cringeworthy. And don’t forget, this was at an MG garage where Milos was attending a promotion of a new model of car IIRC.
Huh? Cupcakes have long been associated with hooligan culture. Apparently in some firms, baking is a pre-requisite for joining and there’s also the long held traditional “Great Hooligan Bake Off” that decides who has the ardest cupcakes from the Firms.
