My almost 14yr old son’s birthday is right around when we play the pigs… I really want to be able to take him. He understands and is on board with boycotting but it’s just really, really sad

I’d be happy with that tbh!

Fair play to him, I’d do the same

He’s a cracking player

Looks a class act already

Absolutely, still quote it now!

Wow, that’s crap!

Quality

At least we’ve got Stretch!

I suppose under the circumstances that’s not a terrible scoreline!

Very good point about the height difference, never thought about that tbh

Not what I asked but fair comment I suppose!

Supposedly shoulder injury I think, but I get what you’re saying

Controversial I’m sure, but once he’s back from injury does Pierce Charles walk back into the starting lineup? I was (extremely) apprehensive about Horvath before his arrival but actually I think he has done ok so far and on paper, we’re conceding less overall with him in goal. PC played 3 games in all comps before injury and conceded 8 goals (2.7 goals per game). EH has played 7 games in all comps since arriving and has conceded 10 goals (1.4 goals per game). It could reasonably be argued that as a team the players are gelling and finding their groove so it’s as much to do with that than anything else, but equally Horvath has pulled off some excellent saves that have either kept us in games or at least made the scoreline more flattering. With all of that said though, Charles is our player and Horvath is not and it’s undeniable that Charles is a hugely talented player with a massive future ahead of him, but let’s say (just imagine) we keep picking up a few points here and there and scrape our way up to 15th place or thereabouts and Charles comes back from injury. Does he walk back into the first eleven or does he need to fight for it?

Those were the days!

That’s hilarious

Absolutely stick with a winning lineup

Legend

He did really well, I’m so glad HP took a chance on Weaver and Brown yesterday

Ball forward, George Brown chases it. Portsmouth player hits the deck (clearly a genuine injury) and Brown picks the ball up… ”he’s injured” my well natured 13yr old son says, me, already on my feet and gesticulating “F*CK HIM” before erupting into ecstasy when he slotted the ball home! What followed was a brief conversation about sportsmanship and how, basically that doesn’t count for us because we’re proper sh*t and desperate for a win! Anyone else?

One crumb of comfort last night, this lad strikes me as having the potential for a very bright future

Yeah definitely, seems he has been taken in more than anyone but I’m just intrigued about all the stuff Si apparently got right that Jake confirmed. I wonder if Si is perhaps in a position where he gets some info from someone?

Did @punkyhorrors offer any thoughts on the situation with Si? It’s not a dig at Jake, just a genuine question as they have been chatting for a while?

Wow…

Thought he looked decent and it didn’t take him long to find the back of the net
