  • To be fair we haven’t looked like we’re a player down. 
    Probably a testament to how poor we were before

    How we’ve set up since going to ten men is how we picked up ten points so far. It’s ugly to watch but hard to break down. When we try and play football as we did first ten mins, we leave ourselves open at the back. 
    We weren't open at the back. We had a donkey in defensive  midfield and a snail at 10

    Travelling fans singing their hearts out. Brilliant support! Shame the players haven’t been anywhere as good!!

    Not heard Stoke all game. All I can hear is Charlton singing. 
    Im so glad Ive got Brownie and the boys - I'd be losing my mind listening to that rubbish
    Exactly. Way better than  Sky Sports' 35th choice commentator, dialing it in

    Not sure Stoke have been trying too hard since though, just conserving energy

    I blame Mrs AFKA 
    petition to ban her from away matches please 
  • With Big Mac missing Wednesday, we are very light for the QPR game Wednesday, hopefully one of Ramsay, Edwards or Billy are fit soon...

    I think that’s the general ratio over the last 20 years

    It’s the problem with showing 8 million games a year on Sky. Means you get some absolute dregs to commentate

    They've won 8 of 9 against us here.

    We had Jones with his feeble lob attempt.

    Very hard to judge Skipp but he doesn’t strike me as a leader on the pitch despite his obvious experience. Chalobah definitely gives off those qualities. We do need some leaders when games like this come along.

    For a winger, Apter isn't very quick is he?

    Wow, Rob Apter comes on. Knibbs still minuteless in the league. 
    Honestly not sure what Knibbs has done. Very strange

    How the fuck is that a 2nd yellow. What's going on 
    What did he say to the ref?
    Waved an imaginary card, looking at the replay
    Right. Can't really complain then.
    Watched it back twice and can't see it myself. 
    What did he say to the ref?
    Waved an imaginary card (presumably intimating the Stoke player that fouled Leaburn should have been booked) according to the commentators. Silly.  
    You must be watching on Sky because Terry, Greg and Brownie didnt see such a wave at all, and Terry just said they’ve been looking from multiple angles. They also point out that Danny Mac’s reaction afterwards looks like genuine and prolonged bafflement, and I certainly agree with that. 
    From a longer angle on the CL feed he definitely raised his hand. Not clear whether he was saying give the other guy a card or you just gave me a card for less, but when you're on a yellow probably best not to run the length of the field to get in the ref's face regardless.

    Yeah Sky, they had a replay of the incident from quite a distance. I couldn’t make out exactly what McNamara was doing in said replay but the Sky commentator was pretty emphatic that it confirmed that McNamara had made the card gesture.

    The spurs guy will take some beating for the worst Comms of the season tbh.

    I think we are going to do QPR - 

    We can galvanise over how bad this ref has been - 

    Our fans have been absolutely fantastic - 

    Jones ofter turns things around after very poor results 

    Finally - when we do Stoke good and proper - and it will happen at some point - It'll very very sweet. 

    I think we have a combination of players that on their day can give most of the teams in this division a game. 

    -

    Lol - offside when it's not

    Charlton TV showed a replay and Dmac definitely indicates to the bent ref a show of a card.
