Brennan resisting the urge to KO Wheels.

So does this mean we have youth soccer substitutions now, where the coach has to yell the player's name to come off since we have no 4th official?

[king1010]

I cant believe that took 8 mins

[toontownman]

Good luck getting any decisions our way now lol

Seen a couple of weird 4-4-2 teamsheets out there. We are 3 at the back not playing two CBs in midfield right?

Question:  how fills in now as 4th official?

Yeah, he needs to work on his anthem game.  C'mon Victor, from the goddamn DIAPHRAGM!

Why does that job exist? An ipad could do it.

Good shout

With Cav and Hoilett up top we are definitely not beating them with pace.

If you are embarrassed to sing the anthem or can't get yourself out of your own shell or private bubble to do so, then you don't have the ability to subjugate yourself fully to the team.

Game phase 1:  

Let’s be compact and disciplined in defense for the first 15 minutes and absorb the inevitable pressure without conceding. 

Job done?

For situations like this where you need to sub in a ref/linesman.

[SpursFlu]

I think we're gonna win. I feel it

No one expected phase 1 to be a success, so didn't bother with phase 2.  Let's just repeat phase 1.

[Stanley]

Just great.  At work, able to watch the first few minutes of the game on my lunch break before heading back, and all I get to see if the assistant ref get injured.

I will bracket out the 6 minutes stolen by the linesman.  But so far so good.  

[VinceA]

Millar needs to think back to his academy days and shoot the ball when he's in the box.

Explain it to your employer - they'll understand.

We're getting back behind the ball better when we lose it

I'm personally worried about the 7th minute of added time at the end of the first half.  That's usually where we fall down.

Liam shoudl shoot there. I see what he’s doing with hoilett but yeah…
