Random thought, but one of my biggest fan peeves is that ridiculous ‘cheat’ chant. You know the one: Dum, Dum, Dum-Dum-Dum-Dum ‘CHEAT!’ What a load of wanky bollocks that is. Or shouting ‘wanker’ repeatedly with vitriol. Yeah, that’ll show them we mean business.

I want us to be a good side again, of course I do. But I really want us to be nastier too. I’d love a forward like Billy Sharp – Someone who’ll rile the crowd, then bang a couple away – arms oustretched to the crowd and a big fat smile on his face. A couple of thousand city fans at a big away day, being rewarded with a commanding performance and win, giving it the big ‘un to the home lot. Maybe one day….

We don't want any of that winding up of other fans, it's not nice. Can't wait for us to be all noble and that next years in L2 while everyone else is cheating they way to wins and winding us up in the process. We may lose but morally we'll be the real winners.

Thornton said on the radio last week that if the Oxford goal debacle had happened at Valley Parade there would have been riots. I think he overestimates our fanbase.

Apart from fans of clubs involved in these situations, who the hell else genuinely cares and why?
'Hoping for the best...' I don't- if they broken the rules or lived outside their means then fuck 'em.
Any other field of business and no one cares.

The EFL are a useless organisation, aren’t they supposed to make sure this kind of thing doesn’t happen?

The EFL are a useless organisation, aren’t they supposed to make sure this kind of thing doesn’t happen? That’s the one thing that sticks out here: it’s been patently obvious for ages now they were/are fucked and heading for oblivion. If the Football League have any powers whatsoever then they need to start using them while they can still make a difference instead of waiting until it’s too late and the PFA are paying wages. Why is it that these basket case clubs either have to go to the brink or tip over it before anything gets done?

The EFL are a useless organisation, aren’t they supposed to make sure this kind of thing doesn’t happen? Theres certain things that happen in football that either no wants to admit to as it implies there is a problem, or when something negative happens theres an overreaction to how its sorted. I fully believe things like administration, certain types of fan disorder, appalling refereeing decisions... the authorities and other governing bodies do little about them because it acknowledges there are problems and there will be negative press. I really don't get why someone like Bolton don't have the book thrown at them - we went through a phase about 10 years back were clubs were getting hit with points deductions all over. Someone there must have something on the FA / EFL somehow or some outside interest. Then you have the Grealish incident - because that was so widely publicised, partly because of the situation and what he did after, they're now going the opposite way and making scapegoats of people, like us and the FA charge yesterday You get elements of hooliganism in and out of stadiums but nothing to genuinely repulse fans and non-fans. Its like Millwall and multiple incidents, even more than once st Wembley- become down heavily on it implies publically there is a problem.

Yet another cop out in the courts. Its clear as a club that they cannot afford to pay the wages they currently are and won’t be in the future yet they will still be paying big wages. They should be dumped in the bottom division and made to start again.

Dump them out now. It might be the only chance we have of avoiding relegation.

The Football League, run hy Geoffrey Ricmond's favourite cum dumpster, are taking the piss even more than Bolton are.

Lack of charisma.
With that kind of negativity I’m not surprised he’s struggling.

If you take care of the little problems the big problems will take care of themselves. Like relegation to League Two.
