A good night, albeit not really due to ourselves. Not really much that can be said about that - a poor game of football and I can't remember either goalkeeper being troubled. The positive is that we got a rare clean sheet and the defence actually looked like a proper defence, which isn't something that has always been true this season. It just seemed that a bit of confidence and, above all, attacking prowess, was lacking. Too many punts and in particular to Vaughan in the second half; what is he going to do with them, exactly? If we were going to go down that route I'd have left Hamilton on and at least given us two big forwards to aim at.

A dreadful game of football.

Maybe try not lumping it at Vaughan, eh?

Or that. Mullin on please.

Good grief, don't do that on a booking FFS.

He does, but a challenge like that from Smith is not going to help our case. Need to keep the head.

Yellow is right, but the very kind of challenge that a ref handing cards out might just decide is a red. Silly.

At least one player is getting sent off tonight.

National Service is woke virtue signalling. Start a real war.

Some of those players are on seven year contracts.

I agree that Hamilton is much better in the air, although dropping Rudden to the bench would be exceptionally harsh given he's scored in our last two matches and assisted Vaughan for the second yesterday. I viewed his loan as very much the back up or replacement for Hamilton, but I think he starts if fit.

FA desperately hoping for a Liverpool winner to save yet another apology letter being sent out due to VAR.

Nice to know that you can annihilate your own player without consequences.

That's 30p Lee's future career after Parliament lined up then. He's been "cancelled", so off to milk the MAGA grift it is.

I really hate James Lowe and his gurning puss.

I don't think that's right. There's always (rightly) some suspicion when a politician's views change, but in the real world this is actually very natural - viewpoints can and do change. Liz Truss failed spectacularly on the biggest stage and she became a global laughing stock. I do think that at least most of the stuff she is coming out with are genuinely-held views as she seeks to paint herself as a victim and avoid the realisation that her downfall was entirely of her own doing. She obviously hoped that Kwarteng would have to carry the blame for it all, but she was the PM and not him; she can't abdicate responsibility when she was in charge and his actions were in accordance with her approval. The stuff about trans activists bringing her down is right out of the alt-right playbook and I don't think that's something that she does actually believe. Perhaps I've gotten that wrong, but it does scream of playing to a certain audience. I do however think her economic policies that were universally derided are genuine views that she possesses, and that she is authentic in her continuing support for them. She is convinced that she was right and that other forces, which she paints as sinister, destroyed her. Her failure has radicalised her.

As far as I'm aware, she's not standing down at the next election. A fine indication of where the Tories are heading in opposition. Lee Anderson and Johnson's "Red Wall" lot will be gone, but Truss, Braverman, Patel, Francois and most of the grey-faced lot will still be there.

Hopefully Ryanair: 1) cancelled their return ticket; and 2) banned them for life. Wouldn't be surprised if they did (1) and then happily let them buy an expensive ticket to get them home. People behaving like that on an aircraft should be banned from all airlines and maybe the message will start to sink in.

'Sammy Wilkinson' looks like a guy capable of handling himself as well. If he's getting knocked over by one of those brutes, then there's little hope for most of the population. It ought to be a warning. He's avoided the fighting pedigree stuff that some of the tossers breeding these things bang on about, but the advert tells you everything you need to know: this dog is a disaster waiting to happen. It even states that the dog is known to be aggressive! He should also have had it neutered, which would probably have reduced the aggressive behaviour.

All I remember was him hitting the bar when a cut back and tap in was available, and then fourteen seconds later the bottle job from 4-0 up was complete. That's enough to sour your impression of any player.

I'm always somewhat mystified that Badenoch is frequently touted as a future Tory leader. Presumably this is because she's on the right of the party and plays well to "the base", but she is incapable of taking any degree of criticism and all too easily gets involved in rather ugly spats. A very thin-skinned individual. Whoever is in charge of the party next will be a right laugh*. If you think it's bad now, just wait until it's in opposition and starts howling into the void. Reform might even decide they're too toxic.

Jayden/Kayden and other names rhyming with these. Alfie/Albie Mason Grayson Jackson (worse if spelled Jaxxon/Jaxon) You just know when you hear these names that the kid is a wee c**t.

Well, we managed our 14th league victory of the season* by a one goal margin, if we can call that getting our mojo back! The hard part is now stringing a couple of wins together again and seeing where that takes us. If we could possibly avoid giving Ayr the huge amount of space we provided in the last game at Stark's this time around, then that would be nice as well. *Yes, that's all of them. Every single league win has been by a single goal.

Dave Brailsford's jiffy bags have obviously been turning up at the training ground in big quantities.
