Interesting Spoons gets a yellow for a handball but Berisha? doesnt when he falls over and grabs the ball to try and pretend he got fouled...


Just spent all night Sunday and all day today avoiding the result so I could watch it.

I've gotta say - any Welly fan complaining about ref calls is a complete joke; that whole game the ref let fouls go and that is the only thing that kept us in it. There was only one side trying to play football. At times it more closely resembled a Hurricanes game than anything else.


However - lots of positives to take away. Manny back to his old self. Carlos looking good. Stein working hard and scoring. Once we get rid of Lia (who was horrid the whole game and spent by the 70th minute) - I think Riera will be a decent replacement in his proper position - and sign full backs that actually know how to play football  (I realise Adams is a CB - reminded me of Reid starting for West Ham at RB on his debut) we will be laughing.

Don't think Cunningham will be anything more than another headless  chicken in the Downey mould, though. But the juries still out. We'll see how he is when we are actually passing the ball around rather than bombing it long.

I think Ifill will be solely a bench player this season unfortunately.
