The clip doesn’t show it, but as he approaches the halfway line he clenches his fist and does a little fist bump. Basically he’s congratulating himself on making a good decision. You can find a few clips of him acting ****ing bizzare at times. I often hear that a sign of a good ref is you don’t notice him, I dare say Mike Dean doesn’t subscribe to that view. As long as we win, Mike Dean can have all the headlines on the back of the newspaper for all I care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomav84 Posted May 11, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 11, 2018 fulham have around 1000 tickets left for the away end tonight apparently...if we play them in the final i can see us having 45k there as there's no way they're selling their 35k allocation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak for the other poster ( assuming you mean the one I quoted) but i read his post to imply if we went up the U23's wouldn't get a game because they wouldn't quite be ready and we'd have to buy players in , thus they would never really develop in a way that perhaps we'd all like ( though they could of course go out on loan ) , I don't think he even mentioned Bruce in his post ? My post was sorta echoing this sentiment , tbf I did suggest that Bruce would buy some more older players in the event we went up , I think it would be inevitable from him , but I wasn't saying he didn't care about our youngsters .. My post was more along the lines of on paper they look a promising bunch , but we might not ever find out if we go up Edited May 11, 2018 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted May 11, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 11, 2018 I know it’s only a photo, but over the past month or so there seems to be a real confidence exuding from the club which is great to see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies. it's a criticism that's been leveled at him on here before, that he doesn't really care about anyone in the u23 team so I probably jumped on your post a bit too aggressively 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether results haven’t been quite what we wanted on the pitch, that certainly can’t be faulted considering what we were as a club before.

Aside from that, as i've seen someone else say. There seems to be a genuine happiness and brotherhood amongst the squad. ALSO, so many likeable players pulling in the same direction, we've not had it in a long time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) I think a break from the Football, and knowing what we have to do has given me renewed optimism. ALL the players are fit. It is almost like a new mini season. Down to them to f*ck it up or prop it up now. Edited May 11, 2018 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Listening to a couple of football podcasts this week and everyone is tipping us to get past 'boro in the semi final. Kiss of death. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
