First of all, congratulations to the organisers of the protest. I've organised a few and taken part in more in my time, not all particularly successful, others surprisingly so. I know what it takes and the personal worry it brings. You can't always predict how successful a protest will be. There are numerous uncontrollable factors that can affect things on the day. You can't regard it as a one-off. It has to be part of a longer campaign. I do firmly believe that enthusiasm breeds enthusiasm, and small victories like today's protest will build awareness and momentum. Learn from both what went well and what didn't, such as the inevitable division of the march by a very busy Aylestone Road. I think it's vital to decide exactly what the focus is, as it wasn't totally clear today. I don't think it's tactically best to focus on Rudkin if it's wholesale change at board level that is desired. While it's amusing for a moment to see Rudkin portrayed as a clown on the truck, a serious campaign needs to concentrate on serious slogans at that level. Obviously this isn't on the same scale, but look at how Led By Donkeys operate for good examples of how to organise campaigns. Please don't take any of this as destructive criticism. The organisers of today's protest deserve every credit for their work. It's not the end, it's just the start.

Corrected it for you

I remember things briefly flaring up against Norwich at the KP in 2019 when Cantwell and co floored Iheanacho. The same match that saw Norwich suss out how vulnerable we were to the high press and paved the way for nearly every team to do the same.

Pleased for the Plymouth fans. I used to work with one in the West Midlands in the 90s and went to several of their away matches with the Argyle faithful, great fans.

I used to like Phil Neville.

Fair play to Liverpool for apparently considering those of us with colour vision deficiency in their choice of strip.

Irony doesn't come across well here.

It's always good to see a bit of giant-killing in the Cup

That didn't look in. Greedy 7 team get the favourable decision.

Time and again United receive several minor but favourable decisions in a match which tip the balance in their favour. The handball was relatively innocuous in itself but it gave them a chance to put the ball into our box, compounded in this case by blatantly corrupt officiating for the offside. -
Never a free kick, and offside for the goal. That's how officials sway matches for the greedy 6.

It's a coded reminder about the protest. Matterface knows...

I don't get the media love-in for Archie Gray and his ancestry. -
Never a foul.

The value of a well-placed comma.

Diabolical decision.
