That would make a great photo for a Spot the Ball competition.

Yes, great photo. We were at the angle to see that when the ball was loose, quite frankly it was marginally closer to the useless lump in goal. But nippy winger was mentally and physically quicker than useless lump in goal and in it went! There's only one . . useless lump.

The trouble is, some people would post what you did in complete seriousness. Even after a glorious win again Chelsea Todd's billion pound bottle jobs.

It needed to be made more obvious. IMO, like.

Hmm not sure. They tend to go missing when we win only to reappear when things are not going so well. That’s what’s so frustrating. There are going to be ups and downs. They just can’t seem to accept it.

Not necessarily, even I can clearly see the ball

That you need to explain it was a joke and you thought is was 'obvious' says it all; but hey ho, no problem, time to move on.....

In defence of @hampshirebrightonboy I did read his original post as a joke aimed at previous FH bashing. That said, it's so hard to make meanings clear without tone of voice so I can see why others took the comment at face value. Maybe an emoji would have helped?

As a colleague of mine once said after a misunderstanding, 'We're all violently agreeing with each other!'

Well, I have to say that was a massive improvement on last week. Huge commitment from the team and some really good performances. Rutter, Lamptey and minteh were great. Also, and what a boost this is, Gomez looks a player at this level. Hinshelwood, Baleba back as well as Ayari and now Gomez plus Gomez gives us extra some more physical presence.
Just the morale boost we needed and fair play to FH, he had the players right back on it, had some nice tactical moves playing Lamptey slightly forward and good substitutions.
I gave him some real grief on NSC after last week and very happy to say well done to him too.

Trust. The. Process.

Agreed. I think if we were all in a pub somewhere we would all get along very well.
Hopefully I wouldn’t get told to go and stand in a corner and think about what I’ve just said

What was Cockarella doing after Mitoma scored, was too busy going mad to notice and they didn't show ot fully on tv having just watched the recording. He picked up the ball and was running off somewhere

Taking his ball home?
I assume he was going to take the ball to the ref and ask for a fingerprint test to prove it hit Lamptey's hand.
He really is a dickhead par excellence.

It was massively obvious (to me, at least) but a laughing emoji would have helped those with added testosterone and adrenalin to catch the meaning.

The atmosphere we great last night, it’s always a good sign of things to come, when singing starts in the concourse before the match and during half time, something that’s been lacking during December & January.

Preston at home please next round.

Given the walkovers they’ve been presented with so far, I wouldn’t be surprised if that tie’s been reserved for Palace.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

Wasn’t it just absolutely downright brilliant !
Ok I was at home shouting at the telly but oh I did enjoy it ….despite the time when I vented “ The ref was born on the Kings Road !”

 

[Jeremiah]

Can you stop going at all please?

There seems to be a connection

But you count on me to be there for the Burnley's, Stoke's, Fulham's , Everton's etc

That Ref is a big six licker

Forever, the one opponent we couldn’t get results against. No more.

23,279 (as per the BBC now).

Naturally, looking at his record, especially in our matches, there is absolutely no evidence of that.
