Yet a lot on here were crying out for Ainsworth.... Not as many as there were crying out for Pelach. I still laugh my head off at that one. Not going to knock Pelach but some were saying give him the job after one closely fought game v Cardiff in which they missed a pen, could turn out to be a vital three points at the end of the season mind, its ok promoting from within but not just for the sake of it.

We were amazing against Cardiff according to a few on here and the atmosphere was top class. I'd watched a different game, but each to their own. I'm old enough to remember the calls for Gerry Murphy and Mark Lillis to get the job, both suggestions were treated with as much disdain from me as the calls for Pelach.

I've no idea! I imagine a few won't have been here long enough, or just didn't do it. I would say that it constitutes making an effort with the fans though, particularly when he's not much of a public speaker or raconteur, and English isn't his first language. Anyway, fed up of talking about him now! You and me both. Or maybe not zzzzzzz

We have to remember too that Blackpool are cheats, so deserve to go down. At least 4 of their players saw the ball go over the line for town equalizer..but non of them owned up. Yes, hawkeye and the ref/lino messed up but those players knew, and said nothing...they cheated. Yes I know they're not the first to do this, but let's not hide from the truth..relegation for them is karma..for being cheats. We are yet to see if Town do get relegated , by that one point...it's not over yet.. This as got to be a joke. Really 😂. Don’t like or dislike Blackpool but it wasn’t their players that were to blame but the shitheads who provided the technology.

Don’t like or dislike Blackpool but it wasn’t their players that were to blame but the shitheads who provided the technology. yes it was tongue-in-cheek but does emphasise the acceptance that there's no honesty in football now. Sure the players weren't to 'blame'..that wasn't my point, but those players knew it was a goal. Any chance ever, do you think, the 'keeper would go up to the ref and say that ? Nope... Just thought I'd mention it...what with 'fair play' and all that.

No way that would happen now of course.

I recall Bielsa allowing it in their promotion season (don’t recall the circumstances) and I vaguely recall an Arsenal replay against Sheffield United following a controversial winning goal in a cup tie. From memory, Arsenal scored when Sheffield United thought that they were going to be given the ball back. Though admittedly my memory is terrible and I may have imagined all of this.

Nah, that rings a bell now that you mention it. Can't see anything like that happening nowadays sadly, the stakes are too high with the money involved in the game. Then again, I've just remembered from Wagner days, an incident against Reading where Ali Al-Habsi caught Wells in the box, which should have meant a pen for Town. The ref runs over to book Wells for diving but Al-Habsi tried to tell the ref it wasn't a dive. Of course he wasn't going to admit he'd caught him but at least tried to be a little bit sporting.

Good keeper Al Habsi. I still think he's going to get to Schindlers pen everytime I watch it.

He's also very sporting and a gentleman, rare in football these days- there's the incident I mention above, but I also remember him going to the aid of an injured Town player in another game, think that might have been Wells too. Perhaps the two of them are just good mates.
