  1. Not having a shot on goal in a Sheffield derby will never be acceptable regardless of the circumstances or context. Have some pride in the club and shirt.
  2. Manager knows full well what his squad limitations are yet persists with triangles in our own third expecting to best the press against squads with much more quality. It’s been flat at home because of our inability to not concede within the first 20 minutes. It takes the sting out of the crowd and of the occasion. The atmosphere was the one advantage we had over them today But we self-destruct with how we play. same things happened after the restart multiple times this season. What hurts is how united didn’t have to work for a 3 goal derby win on our patch - It’s unacceptable. Thank you for looking after the club in our time of need BUT… He’s not the manager who will get us out of league 1.
  3. Now that we can spend spend spend again, what’s everyone treating themselves to? I’ll be heading down to the club shop and grabbing that new walkout zip-up jacket with the original owl logo — love that they’ve brought that back. Also decided I suddenly need a new SWFC tie for work - its amazing how getting him gone has suddenly brought back the pride in the club. I’ll be honest, I’m not a massive fan of the home and away shirt designs this season… but knowing me, they’ll end up in my shirt collection anyway! What’s everyone else buying or got their eye on? Was lovely to see so many young owls getting kitted out over the last few days
  4. Its feels so nice for us to be appreciated by the club Feels strange (and may take some getting used to) , but nice.
  5. Deflated to the point that I’m jacking it in now. Season ticket holder who will not step back into Hillsborough until he’s gone. The best description I’ve read about the circumstances is “it’s like watching your family pet being put down in front of your very eyes.” I haven’t got the stomach for it now. I find I enjoy the working week more as it’s a distraction from football. I used to savour my weekends and as of now I’ve made a conscious decision to claim them back for myself. I’ve planned my weekends and am looking forward to taking hikes in the countryside, leaving the phone at home and feeling like I get more from my Saturdays now. sorry for the monologue, just feels better typing it out.
  6. Easiest league boycott they could choose. Midweek, cold, game wouldn’t finish till 10pm. Against a team at the top. If you can’t boycott this then your blind loyalty to the club is actually hurting the long term future of it. I’m fully on board!
  7. 11:10 for his interview on the day of our promotion. First thing he mentioned in his interview was the fans. Was a pleasure to have him lead our club, he always said how the club belonged to us. He said that routinely long before the media was discussing the term. “ custodian” when discussing football ownership. Thank you Milan.
  8. Not sure but hope it’s soon as I’ll definitely take one off each! Simple design, And it looks like profits will be allocated to children’s hospital charity as well as the trust. It’s well documented that Bracknall rejected an offer from the club to do their official short launch so the fact he’s doing the trusts one is superb!
  9. Sorry if this has already been posted. It Cheered me up after today’s game! Could now become our “officially unofficial” shirts for the season now we’ve boycotted club merchandise.
  10. The 10-minute scarf waving Chansiri out chanting was amplified ten fold as a result of the invasion. It was the loudest it’s ever been, disappointed that a few callers on RS said it brought “shame” or was a “shame” The only ones bringing shame to this club is DC and AP
  11. HP’s job is to make us hard to beat and then build on from that foundation. Feels like we’re going toe-to-toe with teams whilst knowing full well they’re much better footballing sides than us. 8 goals conceded and 0 scored in three home games suggests we haven’t got the right plan at the moment. I’ve only got off my seat once this season as an ST and that was the Bannan overheard kick against Stoke.
  12. There definitely should have been more in the second half. City took their foot off the gas massively. When you tried again in the final 2/3 minutes you almost for the fourth.
  13. Watching the owls is always an emotional rollercoaster. But imo I feel like the fans were prepping for the ten minute point for the protest but after 5 minutes and conceding you have the stuffing knocked right out of you. Any hope of us competing gets killed and with it a sense of hope. I genuinly believe the Swansea protest singing was louder because we weren’t 1-0 down until 50 minutes . conceded after 1 minute against Stoke and 5 minutes against Bristol. It puts everyone on the back foot and then everyone just goes into that chatting amongst one another phase as we feel efforts on and off the pitch are futile.
  14. Not every home kit has to be blue and white stripes. I liked the 150th anniversary shirt, the sondico pinstripe shirt and most of all the 95/97 shirt.
  15. Always worth checking out online sources before believing an “article”. From a twitter account with 50 or so followers. Lots of disinformation around at the moment in our attempts to have positive news.
