    Taylor talking about scoring a hattrick against Mansfield seen by only 1200 fans. Moaning that early rounds aren't really thought of much.

    Saying of course managers will prioritise the league. Promotion to Championship is worth £7.5m and to Premier League £200m. 
    Son says he answers why he didnt play once games restarted after Lockdown. 

    Easy to answer......

    " I'm a big c**t & didnt want to honour my contract with my employer as I feared getting injured......although I got injured 6 months previously playing for my country & my employer stood by me then...."

    Love to ask him how his big money move planned out. "Tell me Lyle, just how many mins of Premier League action did you actually get to play ??"


    How many weeks of your life have you cleared 20k? 
    Not the point.

    He broke his contract. 

    Club should have sued him. 
    I hate Taylor as much as the next guy but calm down, Golfie. 

    You know full well he didn’t break his contract. 
    But he did?
    He didn't. 
    He refused to play from June 20th (announced on June 1st), and was contracted to play until June 30th?
    He didn't technically refuse to play.  He told Bowyer he wouldn't give 100%, or words to that effect, so Bowyer couldn't pick him.

    Morally he broke his contract but not technically.
    They both say in that video that he said he wouldn't play.

    The quote from Bowyer at the time was ""Lyle's one of them and that's tough for us and for me as a manager. Lyle has said that he's not going to play because of risk of injury".

    What a load of old rubbish.

    Well done Killers Beard though. That is some tough ask having to do 90 minutes commentary with no-one to help at all.

    Shit happens. Hopefully a lesson learned for our squad. Still not as embarrassing as Northwich Victoria.

    3 games.

    1 goal in those 3 games would have kept us up. 

    But fuck him.

    I liked how seriously Garner took these games. Yeah, they came with risks, but also rewards.

    He's such a prick. It wasn't even the reason they were being allowed to opt out of playing (Covid).

    Thanks for the updates.

    I'm here for the meltdown and the people bitching about meltdowners for this crock of shit/ morale boosting cup competition (importance depending on result)

    You have to stop referring to it as that.

    We'd have definitely beat Cardiff though with Lyle, we dominated them for large parts and a proper finisher would have ended the game.

    Well that was disappointing. I suppose we’re all waiting for some feedback from those there. Didn’t seem too many positives though. However…

    DO ME A FAVOUR, STOP CLOGGING UP A MATCH THREAD TALKING ABOUT LYLE TAYLOR. PLEASE TAKE IT TO ANOTHER THREAD
    Oh Lyle Taylor, I remember him now you mention it. 

    p.s I'll stop now. 
  • A teeny weeny sweetener if anyone's interested..

    Millwall 0 - Reading 4.

    the only bright side is we might stop hearing people say that the likes of payne, mgrandles, kirk etc will be useful squad players - no they won't and i didn't need to see them play tonight to know that - and dj couldn't even make the squad - tripe the lot of em  
    Bit of a difference between bringing them on to see out a game or find a late goal and starting them all together though isn't there? Squad players are best used in limited minute appearances across the season. If they were capable of all starting together and playing brilliantly they wouldn't be squad players would they? They'd be the first team

    On the positive side; saved myself a few quid not being able to buy a stream of the game. So, every cloud ....

    Problem is that it seems players have to leave before we bring any more in. And if teams don't want our players or the players dont want to leave then we are stuffed.

  • I wonder if any of the Newport bar staff, tried to have a fight with our fans?

    I've taken some time to reflect on this result and I've decided I've never cared about anything less in my life. Did the cup run last year, got a trip to Old Trafford out of it. Considering we've managed to get injuries during and somehow before the match I'm quite happy for us to have fewer games to worry about
