We can't afford scotch. Glenn's Vodka, perhaps.

I assume the 'shot' they're measuring it off is where Simms touched it, which would ordinarily be a brilliant position to shoot from.

I'm annoyed too, but this is some big time revisionism on some parts. Ranieri won the league, whatever happened afterwards, so that can't not be called a success. Puel was brought in to to do a job, which in hindsight was okay. Rogers got us playing some good stuff and we won an FA Cup under him. Maresca was up and down but ultimately won the Champ at the first time of asking. There's plenty to criticise the hierarchy about without resorting to making stuff up.

That last sentence, f**k me…

Numerous people are saying they've had it personally or have seen it, just presumably don't want to get friends/family in trouble for sharing it. Why so doubtful when there's so many people saying it's the case?

I think this shows a bit of naivety about the situation some people are in. It's unfair to give people a legitimate expectation and then take it away. Some families will scrimp and save throughout Jan to give their kids a nice Christmas, and spend a bit of extra money on them. They're now suddenly two weeks late on money they thought they should have. I really don't know why people are simping for the club or saying it's the staffs fault for not managing their finances when they're managing them based on the information that the club had given them, and then changed.

Obviously it's not at Sheff Wed level but changing the date you're paying staff at less than a days notice is clearly not acceptable and it's mad that you're defending it. It's not about the pay date, it's about the fact they've misled hardworking staff, many of whom may have been reliant on getting this money when they expected it.

He was okay apart from getting sent off early in the game? Bit of a leap...

As opposed to running him in to the ground midweek in a game we’ve already lost?

He was offside by about two inches and we were chasing him back, hardly a coordinated and safe offside line

The mental gymnastics from some to absolve Aluko of the red is a bit cringe

To be fair mate he is completely out of position so hardly a fair comparison

Some of you lot are so entrenched in your opinions man, everybody on here has been clamouring for Aluko to start and now you slag off Marti for picking him. And yes the ref has been inconsistent, but it’s two blatant yellow cards. Sometimes you just have to accept that a player has been poor, even if you don’t want it to be the case.

Have we been linked or are we just making up things to be angry about?

Good to hear that the fan is stable. I did notice that the ref appeared to talk to both captains and even ran over to speak to Stolarcyk while this was going on. I wondered if he was stopping the game or perhaps explaining to the players that they weren't stopping and checking they were okay to carry on.
