I believe in giving folk a fair crack but with hindsight I backed both Pulis and Hughes that bit too long. I'm not making that mistake again. Rowett OUT (please).

I was in the loo for that one (South Stand). I remember hearing an odd silence followed by cheering from the away fans and then this sort of weird stilted clapping from our fans. I was completely baffled as to what must have happened

Having an absolute mare!! Very hot headed a bit like Hart. He reminds me very much of Hart. Extremely promising young keeper gets cocky and over-confident as he can do seemingly no wrong in the eyes of the press.

I have absolutely zero issues with this being treated as a hate crime. Seems very clear cut to me and something the police SHOULD be spending time on. Public order offence isn't it (section 4 I think) - causing intentional harassment, alarm or distress? Investigated as a hate crime because the poor lad was targeted because of his disability and the cunts then went on to share it with the whole world. No remorse, no empathy, nothing. I'm honestly glad I come from a country where that IS a crime.

Well, there are several answers to that one. Clearly he's playing in a team where the pressure is not on him to be the star. He also looks like hes actually enjoying himself now and has players on the same wavelength. He actually wants to be at Liverpool. Not something that was always obvious with us. He was that good for us. This. I would like this post 10 times if I could!

I do. I got an owl on my forearm to mark my first year sober. For me it represents the last line of the Serenity Prayer '...and the wisdom to know the difference'.
I thankfully didn't have any problems with it healing, so I would definitely recommend you take proper care of it while it's healing so it stays nice. The extra effort is definitely worth it.

He's a class act. Privilege to see him in the red and white stripes. He provided many of our highlights along with Arnie in the last 3 years. Unlikely to see that quality of player again at scfc. I agree. And I know it's not a popular choice but he's better than Arnie in my opinion. Still love him, and I'm happy he's doing so well.

On a similar note, would football be the only game where you have an official at one side of the playing field. My point being that when a team takes a corner on the side where the linesman is, the linesman makes a point of looking where the ball is placed, so what happens on the other side of the pitch where there is no official to check? I think the ref covers it, but I might be wrong?

I like Allen (and Erik for that matter) but I'm honestly not sure what the players expect?
We pay good money to watch them and be entertained, they are employed and get paid well to provide that entertainment. It's like any environment, if you don't keep the customers happy, they complain. I can't think of any other time I would put up with being 'shushed' or shouted at for politely voicing my dissatisfaction at a substandard service I'm paying for.
Can you imagine if you complained at Sainsbury's and the chap on the till shushed you? I know football is very different as it's so passionate but these are professional, grown men and plenty of non-footballers put up with a lot worse in their chosen careers. I almost feel like the club are taking the piss out of the fans lately.
If SCFC were TV program we'd have been cancelled by now.

Who the fuck overseas wants see Shrewsbury v Stoke? Have Shropshire plod moved their headquarters to Melbourne? Me. Me too. Although 12:30 means 7:30am for me so I can't say I'm overly happy about it either

Bit weird how the "M69 derby" is in there but no Nottingham, Bristol or.. err Derby Also no Norwich-Ipswich, no northeast derby (which would be fifth in that list), no Wolves-Baggies.... Isn't Wolves-Baggies the Black Country derby?

Getting cocky is Pickford, and he’s a disaster waiting to happen every time I watch him..... If you watch him in the tunnel before they come out he has copied Joe Hart doing the over exaggerated chewing of the gum and trying look hard. He reminds me a lot of Hart. Extremely promising youngster gets overly cocky and turns rubbish because he thinks he's better than he is. It put me off Hart and it's putting me off Pickford.

I love that Lenny describes the club as 'us', and along with Ric, he's stayed local to the area. Hero. He's clearly got a lot to offer and it's a fucking joke that the only thing Scholes would offer him was a part time role in the under 10's or something like that. Mama stayed local too. I miss all of them.

Is Rowlett any better than Paul Lambert? Good question. Obviously the task of keeping us up was beyond Lambert, but then, it would have been beyond a lot of managers. At least Lambert has a proven record of success in the Championship. And I liked him more, not as that really matters.

Someone mentioned his name on another thread and I must admit I forgot he even existed. I just looked him up on wiki assuming he had left the club or at least gone out on loan but wiki reports him as a Stoke City player who signed a 5 year contract in July of this year making him a Stoke City player through to 2023. How does the piano playing, propeller plane flying polyglot fill his days? When I saw the team news this morning I actually did wonder what on earth had happened to Moritz. It's all very odd isn't it?

One of the problems we have with our wage bill is that we are still subsidising the wages of high earning players out on loan. I remember laughing at Leeds when they subsidised Duberry's wages (for 2 years?) when we signed him from them. Don't things come back to bite you on the bum! Hanover are paying 100% of Winners wages. Would imagine Stoke still paying large percentage of Imbula's wage but don't recall that detail being reported. "Winner". I think that's one of my favourite ever typos
