Wow. That is unbelievable. Clear Motherwell penalty earlier, ref wouldn't even look at it. Celtic get a dubious opportunity for a penalty decision in the last seconds of the game and they can't wait to award it. There's something not quite right there. The decision is real dodgy too. Player clearly gets his head on the ball. It may have touched his arm in the process, but his arm isn't in an unnatural position for anyone who is jumping, he can't pull his arm down as the Celtic players shoulder is under his arm pushing it upwards, and on top of all of that he clearly isn't trying to play the ball with his arm. The game's gone if you're awarding penalties for those sorts of situations. If Hearts miss out now, serious questions need to be asked.

Lovely finish. Sort of finish you'd see Mahrez stick away. Very little back lift with plenty of curl on the shot.

Yet another BR disaster signing. Ordinarily I'd be p*ssed with comments like this, but he sounds desperate to get out so will no doubt push hard to move on which will do us a favour as I have zero faith in Rudkin finding him a new home. If he genuinely wants out as much as he he claims we have him by the balls in terms of negotiating his exit terms. What's the betting the club somehow finds a way of paying off/subsidising the remainder of his contractual terms to move out the door despite his desperation.

Isn't Polo supposed to be for the super rich?!? Top might have to give up his licence soon

Can you enter Donkey's?!? We've got a load to pick from.

Was at the gig too. Thought performance wise they were awesome but I was a little disappointed with the set list. Missed a couple of tracks I was expecting and felt there were moments when the loops between tracks went on a little too long, which brought the energy levels down a touch at times. That said, I sometimes forget how old they are, so that was probably by design especially with the heat inside the arena which was something else. Great show regardless, and I don't think I've danced like that for over 20 years when I was a regular on the clubbing scene. Would definitely go and see them again given the chance.

Was always going to happen but the reality of it being all but confirmed feels like yet another kick in the teeth. Of course he wouldn't want to stay but I was at least hoping we may trigger the option to buy if only to immediately sell at a profit. No doubt dumb and dumber either agreed to a break release clause in the event of relegation or are simply refusing to stump up the cash even though it'll benefit the club. By far our best player this season, and the one who showed more effort than all of the overpaid crap we've managed to accumulate. I wish him all the very best for the future and have no doubt he'll go on to enjoy a long career in the premier league. Thanks JJ 💙

So had we not been complete arseh*les and instead took our punishment last season when we knew there was a high probability of going down we'd have stayed up this season. To p*ss off two footballing authorities in the process and putting a target on our back for the foreseeable future was just the icing on the cake. Thank you Top and Mr Rudkin, the pair of you are absolute geniuses. Well done, now go off and enjoy your holidays, and we'll see you mid July 😘

Depends if you're a happy clapper @Ric Flair. If you are then I suspect Top trumps Vards 😊

What a game this is! Really enjoying it whilst watching with envy. Night and day between how these teams play versus watching Daka fluff his lines and Ayew constantly fall on his arse.

What a finish from Larin

100% not true. Top and Rudkin won't even have realised we're relegated yet. Top probably thinks we still have a chance of the playoffs. No way on this planet either have the foresight to start identifying out next manager and actually appointing someone before the end of June. Rudkin still needs to go on his summer holidays before he can even contemplate firing up Outlook and making any phone calls.

Needs a good coach around him to help him with his decision making and one who knows how to manage him, i.e. pulling him when he's in that mindset of playing for himself but explain after the reasons why. Has a lot of talent which if not managed properly will easily not hit the heights it should. That said he won't be here next season so I'm not going to worry too much about him.

No place for Bare Goals?!?

Because he's a Man City player so he must be the best player ever to grace our team 😒

Yeah, but don't forget @Katy where we were when the family took us over. We're so much better off now... 🤣

Well, don't really know what to say... mixed emotions is probably the best description. Anger, frustration, sadness, acceptance, apathy, embarrassment, lost, numb; to name but a few. I'm raging inside this morning, but I'm fighting myself internally. Am I raging because of the complete ineptitude of the board and it's mismanagement of the club, am I raging because our proud history will once more be tarnished with League 1 football, am I raging because I feel completely disconnected from both the club and the morons who represent our proud city, or is it a mixture of all of them? The only way I seem to be able to comprehend what has happened is by reflecting, which keeps bringing me back to the questions; how did I feel last time we went down to League 1, and is this feeling any different? In all honesty, I probably did feel similarly. That was one of the lowest I've ever felt as a fan of our club but it feels wrong in some way to acknowledge this as the two scenarios are worlds apart. Last time we all knew it was coming, we'd circled the drain for years and quite frankly had no quality whatsoever. The players tried but they just weren't good enough. I was angry then because up until that point I was proud that we'd never played in the third tier, and suddenly the history books were being rewritten. This time my anger is a culmination of everything; poor attitudes, lack of effort, incompetence, denial, dishonesty, etc. from all involved; players, board, fans. It's been apparent for a long while that the club is simply broken. The highs we never thought we'd experience in our lifetime have directly led us to this point. Delusions of grandeur, arrogance, hangers on, evolved identity (I.e. no longer the underdog/working class background). Parallel's to the story of Icarus. Looking forwards, where do we go from here? The future looks grim to say the least. Reality really hit me the other day when Coventry were promoted and the headlines were 'That ends a 25 year absence from the top flight'. It got me thinking that we too could conceivably experience a similar absence, and if that were to happen, the next time I see us play top flight football, I'll be 70! Anyway, sorry to ramble not quite sure what the point of this post is other than to unload, however I'm keen to hear how everyone else is feeling this morning?

Last night seemed very supportive of Top and Rudkin, but just now basically said players lap up the praise from the fans when all is going well so should accept criticism when they are deserving of it. Went on to say that's the most fight he's seen from Winks all season.

I know Huth took some stick last night from his social media post, but good to hear him call out Winks just now on Talksport.

That's AI right?!? Surely cannot be real. Please tell me that is AI.

That last sentence is frightening. He really cannot see what's before his eyes can he?!?

Don't worry folks, we knew months back that Top has already lined up Maresca

Mukasa should be nowhere near the starting XI after the past few weeks. F@#k me the lack of standards around our club is something else.

Awful line up. How the f@#k has Winks made the squad after Saturday's shenanigans?!? If there wasn't the chance to go and give these lot both barrels I'd absolutely refuse to go tonight, but no way am I passing up that opportunity when the inevitable is confirmed.

Couldn't believe this when I saw it in my inbox this morning, genuinely gobsmacked that the club think this is a good idea as we stoop to yet another low. Wouldn't surprise me either if we lose all our remaining games, only to see the current XI play and bust a gut to beat the legends 3-0 to spoil the occasion.
