Acton..... you gotta accept that refs at this level will set their stall out and stick by it. It was clear from the get go that last nights man would favour the home team for an easier life.
With certain refs home advantage really is a home advantage.

One thing that summed that up was the little fracas at one of the million corners we had at the end. Jimmy gets pinned in the net by three of their players and is being held by all of them still long after ref blows up and arrives on the scene.
How he then books one of theirs and Jimmy for being held down by three players I do not know.

Saito was taken down off the ball three times last night and got nothing.

The game should've been a draw and we may well have sneaked it if we'd had a better option to bring on for last 35 mins than Alfie. I am an Alfie fan but 35 mins away from home with that ref was not going to be his finest and he's miles away from what was needed to replace Frey (who I thought had a great game that miss aside).

It's a modern day miracle we're even looking at the top six and I take solace that another 4 wins (or combinations to get 12 points) will see us home n hosed.

Kolli Injury?????
at 22:33 11 Feb 2025

What’s the craic?

Did he sustain this whilst apparently throwing down his shin pads and being quite petulant in front of the dugout at the FT versus Rovers?
I didn’t see it but was told this happened

It was one of the first things I looked at team sheet wise at 7pm and I wasn’t shocked to see him missing
I personally would’ve started him and rested Frey for Friday
Maybe he’s picked up a Jimmy Dunne Groin or maybe it’s something else.

We’ve got a player on our hands here; signed a contract and now he needs to do it for himself but do it the Marti way

Hope he “recovers” in time for Friday

That is sad news and respects to the family

I spoke with him a few times pre match back in the day when that usual hang around outside the ClubShop for tickets thing used to happen
Said to him “blimey, you look like an upside down triangle!” (Man was broad shouldered) and he shot me back “ At least I’m not square man”

RIP

Yep.

Roughly what it takes Rashford 12.5 hours to "earn"

Football is truly mental when I am looking at our man on £15k a week as "reasonable".
These days they literally have to sign one Contract for 3 years on a decent wage and they're done.

Getting back on track though --- it seems we are all on board that a fit Frey is a decent tool to have in the box.
Sign him up

I've seen you mention Frey's large weekly wage on the out of Contract thread and here.

(Not having a pop by the way).

I'm not surprised at all he's on a big weekly wage and I think (this season) there is good reason.
When he joined you'll recall he was in dispute with previous club.
I remember people saying that from January to May he was virtually paying us to play which was just as well looking at his minutes. He was however very useful when we did get him on the pitch.
I always thought he's get a contract with a wage set to account for the peppercorn wage he'd got for six to eight months, ergo averaging out over his time.

I'd say he's got at least 18 months in him at this level and I hope he stays as one of four strikers we'll need next season.

Out of contract (again)
at 23:44 5 Feb 2025

Cook - I’d keep him on a reduced wage with appearances and win bonuses but obviously he’d need to accept that. We certainly need experienced leadership…. Might he do coaching here as well?

Fox - thanks and so long. A decent servant but run his race

Paal - I like him; many don’t. Sadly I think his wish is to return to the land of clogs n cheese so if he’s not committed then see ya

Colback - it’s a no from me. Playing minutes don’t justify outlay

Anderson - I’d of jettisoned in January. Seems a lovely fella but he’s shot and was never suited to 40 odd games at this level. Thanks for January to April 2024 but off you go.

Frey - absolutely sign a new deal. People hung up on his lack of pace (I’m one who always says pace is vital) but I love his attitude, presence and his goal ratio!!

Dunne - stay!!! Can’t add anymore to what 26 pages have said

Edwards - part ex for a rarely used Madsen and Celar?? The lad is silky with the ball, reads the game so well and can pass it well. I’m not sure he’ll ever score from a corner but I’ll keep backing him. Way out of our price range sadly

Saito - mmmmmmm… I had big reservations but I’m really liking the little fella at the moment. A bit lightweight but he’s game as a bagel, fast and fun to watch. Keep!!

Yang - I think Spurs will let him stay next season (unless we’re in same Division). Not seen enough but the few mins he’s played so far looks a player. It’s a yes from me if a season long loan available

Four Wins
at 22:42 4 Feb 2025

If anyone had said to you in early to mid November that we’d need four wins to (sort of) be safe by time first week of February ticked around would you have called a health professional for them?

Last seasons Marti miracle was amazing but I’m finding this years turnaround even more amazing.
Coming into Gareth’s bereft club gave Marti the ability to shake things up.
This season he was present at the start of; let’s call it a “difficult period”, and I think turning a tanker round that youve set on it’s course is a tougher ask.

All credit to him and also the players.
Sliding doors moments all about Celar - his goals at Cardiv followed up by season ending injury sort of changed things for us.

Keep kicking on Rangers and let’s finish as high as we can

Dunne off?
at 09:40 3 Feb 2025

One thing that has amused me throughout this short saga and mega thread….. when did it become the accepted fact that Cheff Utd have bid £2mill?

I’m Jimmys biggest fan but if roles were reversed I’m not sure I’d think that level of spend was a decent investment for my club when the player is a free agent in 4 months time.
Surely a low ball bid with a much bigger signing on fee for the player / agent is the tactic???

So if you give me the choice of £200k for Jimmy going now and a possible slide back down the table or keep him to end of season and more than likely mid table safety then I know what I’m choosing.
£200k or anything below £500k doesn’t fly for me
