Thread | Players beyond criticism this season
at 23:36 11 Apr 2025
There’s been some players this season who deserve to be criticised but similarly there are some that have put an effort in
KWP imo is a model professional who will most likely move on and I’d wish him well wherever he went
Ramsdale is another who always puts in a performance
Fernandez is our best player this season and hasn’t had a bad game as far as I can recall. What I like about him is he is still giving 100% when we’re 3-0 down. I hope he stays
IMO Bednarek usually puts in a decent performance and effort and you can see it hurts when we lose
Manning although limited as a PL player always puts 100% in
Other than those I think the rest of the players owe us some performances |

Are we going to smash Derby’s 10 point record low
It’s our cup final for the season now. What an embarrassment
I think if we’re going to beat it Juric must be gone by the morning |

That Sports Republic issued an official apology to all the Saints fans
The one thing that can be taken from this season is the outstanding performance of the Saints fans. Most home and away games have been sold out and even today the away end was sold out and the fans tried their best as always to encourage the players to put some effort in. Unfortunately only Fernandez did
Saints fans deserve a whole lot more than the 💩 shows dished up by SR every week |

Thread | Strikers in the Sport Republic reign
at 08:30 24 Mar 2025
With the news of yet another Ross Stewart injury setback I thought I’d put together a list of Saints strikers bought by SR:
1. Sekou Mara cost £10.2, paid £2.6m (£1.3m pa for 2yrs) scored 4
2. Paul Onuachu cost £18m, paid £3m (£1.5m pa for 2yrs) scored 3
3. Ross Stewart cost £10m, paid £2.1m (£1.04m Pa for 2yrs) scored 0
4. Cameron Archer cost £17m, paid £2m for 1yr scored 2
5. Ben Brereton-Diaz cost £7m paid £1.82m for 1 year scored 0
So in the 2.5 years Sport Republic have been here they’ve bought 5 strikers at the cost including wages of £73.72m with a goal return of 9 goals
These are possibly the most incompetent owners in the history of football

Thread | Sports Republic PL managerial points record
at 00:03 23 Feb 2025
SR sack Ralph and appoint Nathan Jones to keep us up
Nathan Jones - P 8, W 1, D 0, L 7, 3 points out of possible 24
So they replace him with Seles
Ruben Seles - P 18, W 2, D 5, L 11; 11 points from a possible 54
So they sack him and appoint Martin. We get promoted and I think most fans knew that unless Martin changed his style of play we’d get dicked every week
Martin’s PL record - P 14, W 1, D 2, L 11; 5 points from a possible 42
So SR sack him way too late and appoint Juric
Juric’s PL record so far - P 9, W 1 , D 0, L 8; 3 points from a possible 27
So Sports Republic’s managerial appointments have bagged us 22 PL points from a possible 147 available points

Played against Ipswich and looked good in a game that we actually won and since then has played about 4 minutes. WTF is going on
Similarly Bella-Kotchap, just over a year ago was in the German squad and now we're playing midfielders and full backs at CB because ABK isn't naturally left sided. Surely a right sided German international is able to be trusted at the left side CB. It's not like being a left back or left wing where it's important to have a strong left foot. KWP seems to do okay at LB with a weaker left foot.
Team selections are perplexing me at present. |

Good to see they’re taking FFP seriously 😁
With 115 charges of financial misconduct hanging over them they go and spend 217m € in one window. They know the PL won’t do anything for fear of derailing their gravy train
The corruption and greed in football is seriously reaching new heights - or lows. How can teams like us hope to compete. The sooner the big clubs pišš off to a super league the better |

Keep hearing Juric saying he needs more players to improve the squad but we’re now nearly halfway through the window and we’re not even being seriously linked with anyone, just lots of noise about who’s leaving
Is it time yet for Juric to beat the sh*t out of Solak in the car park?

Thread | Transfer window meeting
at 09:36 9 Jan 2025
We’re led to believe that our board had their first transfer meeting on Tuesday, over a week after the window opened, but so far unlike most other teams all I have read is players leaving and not arriving
My guess is SR will leave it til the final day and make a couple of lower division panic buys

Thread | New manager
at 09:15 21 Dec 2024
Whatever anyone thinks about the appointment of Juric we’ve collectively got to get behind the team to the end of the season however results go
Juric has got an almost impossible job to keep us up. God knows what SR will do in the transfer window but the fact that Kevin Danso’s name has already been mentioned means they are unlikely to be giving Juric much of a helping hand
We can’t afford to have the bed wetters turning on the team if we lose three on a row and we have to support the team regardless if we’re to stand any chance
Personally I’d set the first target as beating Derby’s 2008 low points tally of 11 points and work up from that
COYS we march on

Having pulled Wolfsburg out of the relegation zone after being appointed at the end of last season and after a slow start this season Ralph has got Wolfsburg on a roll. He's taken them from just above the relegation zone to 3 points off Leipzig in 4th place and 2 points off a Champions League place.
Recent results have seen Wolfsburg spank 4th place Leipzig 1-5 away and knock 5th place Dortmund out of the club.
I wonder what he'd have done for us with the sort of transfer backing that Martin has had |

Thread | Never mind the (VAR) B0ll0x
at 12:12 30 Nov 2024
The official VAR decision was that Adam Armstrong was adjudged to be critically impacting on Verbruggen’s ability to play the ball.
Verbruggen was rooted to the spot at the near post when the cross came in. I watched the replay and timed the cross. It took 0.9 seconds for the cross to get from Fraser to Archer. It took 0.4 seconds from when the ball passed Armstrong to Archer putting it in the back of the net. For Verbruggen to have got from the position he was in into a position to save Archer’s shot he'd have had to have covered 7.32m in 0.9 seconds. When Usain Bolt set the 100m record he travelled at 12.33m per second from a sprint start. Verbruggen would have had to travel at 8.13m/sec from a standing start starting side on.
If this was the same VAR official as the Wolves game then the club should be asking for an investigation into possible Pompey connections, ie see if he has 6 fingers on each hand or webbed toes

The position we find ourselves in has absolutely nothing to do with the manager or the players.
The fault falls squarely with the owners. Bunch of rank amateurs.
