It's times like this that really separate the true fans from the pretenders. 

This is really painful to watch. There's no creativity at all in this team. 

What is the answer? There's nothing to suggest this is going to change any time soon.

Quality beats quantity

I'd say we've had more chances and more quality chances. We just don't know how to finish.

But when it comes right we will reap the rewards of our loyalty.

It's not the losing I mind so much, it's the hoping I can't stand.

Not a dive, but no way that is a penalty.  Just a tangle of legs.


FFS.  Good save.  Not the worst penalty, but was saveable.


Edit: On replay I take that back, was a pretty poor penalty.

I text my mate saying we'd miss the pen even before Huysegems had the ball.  Absolutely shite penalty.

Maybe not a penalty, but he didn't dive, so would have been OK with a goal off a bit of good fortune. Oh well. Come on!

well if we don't know who a player is who would be a banker to take a penalty that would explain why we haven't scored any goals..

And one you hit just off centre at a perfect height for a keeper is a REALLY bad pen.

it's not a pen because manny wasn't going to get the ball as the pass was overhit - yeah there was contact but Storm didn't know anything about it.  no pen for me, even with only my Nix eye open.

Cunningham is an idiot who needs to shut up and stop moaning at the ref.  Oh, and he should also do some good soccer for once too.

it wasn't a pen, and it was great sportsmanship to miss it deliberately
