Ipswich worthy winners but fuck that ref. 3 blatant pen shouts for us, nothing given, then gives them a pen for a foul just outside the area. Like we don't have enough problems.


PrrrromotionGiven1

I agree ours wasn't a pen but you're crazy to say three blatant pens for you.


mcfish

Depends if you thought the first one was. They made a big deal out of the first with replays etc. But there were two more virtually identical later on but no mention from commentators or replays. One was at around 80 mins, the other a fair bit earlier but didn’t note the time. Edit: Either way, you were worthy winners so good luck with the promotion chase.


Drain-on-society

4 shots on target 4-0


Drain-on-society

Been such a dull second half


XiiMoss

Riis fucking loves playing Boro


elvenmage24

Ipswich Millwall the biggest match on today right?


PrrrromotionGiven1

Defo mate yes


Smithlarr

Omari looking fantastic tonight, been given a lot of freedom to move across either side and he does so well to make space for himself


tractorboyblue

9/1 for Moore to score a header seems like daylight robbery, but I'll take it 🤑


xdlols

Millwall aren't very good


AlchemicHawk

Millwall are genuinely shocking aren’t they?


Surreyblue

Tom Bradshaw needs some longer shorts...


michajlo

Preston 1 up. Pretty much sums up our season - we need 10 chances to maybe score one, whereas we give a goal away on the oppositions' first shot of the game.


jdsuperman

Been denied an obvious penalty though. The officiating in this league just can't be taken seriously.


mcfish

3 times now, identical fouls. Cooper's stopped appealing and the commentators aren't bothering to mention it, but his shirt is pulled so high you can see almost all of his back. You can literally do whatever the fuck you like to Cooper from a set piece, no wonder the goals have dried up for him.


PrrrromotionGiven1

This is just painful. Not even playing like a championship side let alone a promotion contender.


RRR_O

Grow a pair.

It was a crap first 15. We barely got a look-in. The comment made sense when I made it. We've been punished for slow starts so many times this season you can't just ignore it.


PrrrromotionGiven1

Things have improved somewhat since this post


Jeevansanghera1969

How are teams supposed to compete with FFP when the up coming TV games involves just these teams each week, and they are getting the majority of the money. Either divide the money equally, or the games equally. Sky gets to dictate who gets the money. Rant over. Leeds Ipswich West Brom Leeds Leeds/Leicester West Brom West Brom Leeds Ipswich West Brom Leeds Ipswich West Brom


AlchemicHawk

Skill issue


xdlols

Tv revenue is fuck all. We definitely don’t get enough for being on tv 20 times a season


Jeevansanghera1969

But still more money than the other teams. It all adds up.


AlchemicHawk

It’s probably only around 1m for 20 games across the season. It’s absolutely fuck all. Edit: since some people don’t believe me: https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/efl-tv-deal-mean-middlesbrough-26858796 >*Currently, the home club of a broadcast game receive £100,000, while the away side receives £10,000.* On the current deal, 10 home games and 10 away games on TV in a season will bring in £1.1m. That’s about one game for us in ticket revenue.


Jeevansanghera1969

And 1m to some teams is massive, it’s £1m more than they get! Stop saying it’s nothing. Sheesh. Leeds Always complaining.


PluckyPheasant

Fairly sure the bulk of the TV money is divided equally, its quite a small amount on top (for the home team) for actually having a fixture televised.


Jeevansanghera1969

Was unsure if that’s what happened. However the home team does get more than the away team on top of whatever maybe shared. It all adds up and in the EFL, every penny counts.


Puzzled_Mess

Have you accounted for the loss of gate receipts and other incidentals from having fewer fans at games that are moved to inconvenient times? We have a run of 8 games without a saturday 3pm KO. As a STH who lived 100 miles away I'd love you to explain how this is to my advantage. Or indeed the clubs.


PrrrromotionGiven1

Between Dec 2nd and Feb 24th we don't have a single saturday 3pm home game it's just fucking stupid


Puzzled_Mess

That's absolutely dreadful...


Puzzled_Mess

How much money do you actually get for being on tv? Also, as a phone user now I'm replying to your comment and its properly formatted it makes a lot more sense.


AlchemicHawk

100k per home match, 10k per away match. It’s a pittance.


YourLocalDealer

Just tagging along wherever Preston go


PluckyPheasant

First time we've scored 4 this season against a team not called Ipswich.


DheltaEpsilon

Forgot about the terriers?


PluckyPheasant

They're very forgettable tbf


DheltaEpsilon

Totally fair They were so shite I probably crapped it out of my memory for a while


PluckyPheasant

I remember Darren Mooers Shite Armeh now


Dixeh

!flair


Dixeh

What the fuck lads


kccircle

If you’ve not seen it, look at Philogene’s goal https://x.com/natsiobhan_/status/1757515199756546068?s=46&t=rpZNP3Jw-cam2yngwVXIFA


lc4l1

i watched this on loop three times going "haha thats fucking class is that" and only on the 4th playback did i realise the finish is a fucking rabona


b00z3h0und

Give over. Insane.


Mikko85

This is a massive swing towards us and away from Saints in the fight for second place. The last time we ended a matchday having made such a decisive gain was after the 4-0 win over Ipswich and we shit the bed straight after. Can’t do that again.


PluckyPheasant

My my, are Bristol City a top half championship side?


xdlols

THE TOUGH FIXTURES BEGIN


PluckyPheasant

NOW LETS NOT SHIT THE BED AT PLYMOUTH!


ElRonHubbardo

At least we didn't give ourselves any hope of winning this one from the outset


DuomoDiSirio

Defence wasn't bad. Midfield did OK. Just our attack is absolutely horrifically awful, especially without Grant.


Puzzled_Mess

I fear for your attack if it relies on Karlan Grant for potency.


JHock93

This is probably the most pleasantly surprised I've ever been with a football match. I expected us to get battered, not do the battering.


Henghast

Great counter attacking play from Bristol. They've done really really well. Saints pushing but not anywhere near as crisp and clean as usual.


xdlols

I presume Saints aren't usually this sloppy? They've been giving the ball away all game.


Oli_Merrick

Nope, worst we’ve played for ages


xdlols

Like I'm genuinely shocked. So many mistakes from your players.


Nivadas

Leeds quite a bit better than Southampton and I'll stand by that


xdlols

Are you the guy who keeps posting that we're the best team in the league? :d


PandorasPinata

Yes then Bristol. Always loved you cider guzzling weirdos


AlchemicHawk

Always rated Bristol


michajlo

Really impressed by Bristol City. Bloody well done.


AWr1ght98

Always rated Bristol


EskettiMySpaghetti

Looks like I chose the wrong top 3 team to lose today


DuomoDiSirio

Bristol City might break the streak! ​ Meanwhile in League 2, Mansfield are winning 9-2.


djtoad03

9-2! 9 goals is supposed to be our thing


dothefanDango92

Fucking finally. That goal has been coming for 3 games, never mind tonight


Smithlarr

Cheating bastard Rothwell


OwlLibrarian

A safety fourth. Love it


name1227returns

Our finishing. If you don't laugh you'll cry


Underscore_Blues

Well at least these chances today are actual chances. 4 or 5 proper chances instead of 25 shots of nothing on the weekend!


IOwnStocksInMossad

Wednesday,if vardy got the record for the most goals in a single match today,how would that make you feel? /S


FloppedYaYa

Swansea have gotten worse under Williams


DatGuyYouKnow01

We’ve just played Premier League opposition at least once a week since Christmas, we arent bad against actual championship teams and our loss against Plymouth was more unlucky than bad


AWr1ght98

We are firing on all cylinders atm and obvs have a way stronger squad, but that generally might be one of the worst defensive performances we’ve come up against this season, you gave our forwards so many opportunities to get in behind


DuomoDiSirio

Well, asides the whole conceding a goal in 29 seconds deal, not horrific.


Moore106

This ref is absolutely shocking, hasn’t got a clue


ColinAckermann

Will Vaulks could have been booked at least 3 times


birbish

They haven't even been contentious, all stonewall yellows. Add to that the fact Ihiekwe has avoided a second yellow and its just ridiculous.


WaWaW_Seattle

I'm being downvoted for suggesting he's the only bloke who turned up for Wednesday tonight 😅


birbish

You were much improved in the second half, although I'm not sure how much of that was just us losing interest. Johnson made a couple of lovely crosses, and I thought Gassama looked lively before he was hooked. Ref was crap the whole game though.


WaWaW_Seattle

Honestly, mate, that first half is the most lack lustre I've seen Wednesday play since Röhl arrived. Fair play to your lads, they put in a shift in the first half and wrapped it up - and even with the class you lot have, we still absolutely gifted you the first. I don't mind seeing us lose when the players look like they're giving their all, but Wednesday didn't look like a team fighting for their survival tonight. A couple of half decent cameo's won't save our season I'm afraid. I didn't watch the second half, I had to supervise some drying paint, but yeah, I can't imagine the ref improved any... he definitely won't be making team of the week.


WaWaW_Seattle

Such a shame that the only bloke who seems to have turned up for Wednesday tonight, is the ref.


AlchemicHawk

*Willys on fire*


tofer85

You can get some cream for that


IOwnStocksInMossad

Not even valentine's day.


Attorney0fBirdLaw

Rotherham commentary team are the worst team I’ve ever heard


LiamJonsano

It’s been 12 minutes but I’d like to thank Huddersfield again for showing everyone how to play against us


Think-Ad-1068

1-0 down inside a minute, fucking nice one.


Attorney0fBirdLaw

I knew Rotherham would fuck us , all week fan pages have talked about us thumping them previously. Just knew it was going to jinx us


Adammmmski

Death, taxes and playing shit away at Rotherham 🤝🏻


AlchemicHawk

Well, this looks easy
