Stagger Lee

My moment of 2017 was during the Shezerection #2 Ripleys two penalty saves v Millwall

The image of him running around like a headless chook looking for someone to book will last long in my memory and I suspect will be often replayed on TV

If we went back to the Chaddy and then we had the stand rebuilt the home fans would have to relocate again while the rebuild was carried out - It seems like a lot of messing around to me. Now of course if the Chaddy end was rebuilt first, with a large standing area then it should be made our sacred home stand once more.

Meaning he has escaped criticism that we normally dish out because he is way, way better than Wilson and Ruddy before him. To repeat I'm happy to keep him rather than sell him and replace with Ripley, and as others have mentioned we need other areas of the squad upgrading first. But If I was starting afresh with no keeper in the squad I would choose Ripley first.

Could not some it up better How much leeway is Placide given because he is not as bad as the two previous clowns? Ripley distribution is something that could improve over time but his natural saving and positioning ability means I vote for Ripley, but I would not be upset in any way by keeping Placide. If I was Bury and was looking at buying a replacement keeper Ripley would easily get my money. For mine he has more chance of making a return on my investment regarding a transfer to the big time.

Given the large numbers of French-speaking players in the squad, in addition to the existing Irish / N Irish members of the squad, would it be wise to also sign an English as a second language tutor alongside signing McEleney?

Agree with you LS Maybe a shit result like that if we played Rochdale or Bury then maybe but after such a long journey then this will truly backfire. Surely our new assistant manager is here to temper his sort of reaction to a poor performance?

I also wish everyone a very happy Christmas, warmed by the love of family and friends, but maybe not quite to the well over 40 deg C it is down here in my part of Australia as I type!

I agree with your wish O4U but that video deserved a down boat if ever a post did

My ex would not approve of that remark - so I do But as she used to say, she got a job nearer Sheepfoot lane than me despite my dreams

Good call - but only after naming the Jimmy Frizzell stand correctly

Well done to all those that traveled Merry Christmas one and all

some half-arsed passing by us now - game over mentally

should have been 3 -2 now its 4 - 1 FFS

Anyone else having problems with ifollow replay?

that was a missed chance

I suppose us overseas fans will have to just make do with supping beer on a lilo in the swimming pool in 25 degree heat while listening to the game on I follow ..... When is the trust going to do something to enhance our matchday experience? J/k Hope its a great success

Why all the Queensy hate on this forum lately? I genuinely don't know what he has done wrong apart from the heinous crime of being average and we have had much worse players.

That's a long game - but I've seen a game against Wimbledon at Plough Lane that felt longer

1 - 1 away from home is never that bad a result.

goal goal goal

ahhhh I see. It was a foul all day long, not in question in my book ( Gerrard took a card for the team IMO )

If they hadn't scored ref would have retaken free-kick but fair play to them because they played to the whistle

poor cross, we had 3 ready to knock it in

Gerrard had to do that foul - reckon there will be a sending off soon.
