@ariexsha The real challenge is keeping a straight face while pretending the TV is the most interesting thing in the room. Some tension is impossible to ignore.

@reluctantnicko bottle? taking on a debt-laden club is not the same as taking a club underperforming. Any decent manager would be mad or desperate, not have bottle!

@JacobsBen @alex_crook best decision he's made for ages! BFC, after being well run for years now has all the hallmarks of a club in serious decline- ''I still owe money, to the money...' as The National sing in Bloodbuzz Ohio.

@bconnelly55 @lcfczoone_ Just Jordan Clark and Mads Andersen. Neither were regular starters in the PL, but both decent honest professionals.

@Mole5991 @CliveGarner @JasonBourne1986 no, it was two standard yellows. Acknowledged with an apology as he left the pitch. The penalty shout was more likely but Liam Walsh is very small and any overhead kick is likely to look bad!

[Mat Phillips @MatPhillips2]

@dave_trill82 @RobsonOReardon The only 50:50 decision was Walsh's high foot. He hit the ball cleanly & ref probably thought there was no contact & yes he is pretty short :). Offside yes, and there's no rule against correcting a decision. Second yellow any day of the week - I thought it may be a straight red?

@harryhpalmer @nickdemarco_ Twas always thus. Most industries are the same. If speakers have to pay to speak don’t attend. The model is wrong.

@Soccer_Stats That kind of makes sense. Evened out teams find a natural place give or take a bit.

@LutonTown Mads what on Earth??? Ice man 👀👀👀

@Forest_army @jfunnell_lfc That’s about it, except the assistance is from a state! I assume all loans have by now been repaid by the sponsors ?

@DarrenJonesDJ @LutonTown Berko is Luton country.

@GavinDurrant1 @ASPaton Wow just wow! Owl on owl . 👍👏👏

@danlukeashby I have the same lineup (in my head after sleepless night). The call I find hardest is leaving out Richards.

@injik0108 Massive socks!

@ltfclouis Agree. Once he got to grips with things that was an excellent 30 mins. CDM sorted. RB sorted as well - Ashby MoM

@SSE_LTFC He will be an absolute menace. Horrid first half but the signs are there once we click.

Interesting development. You can understand the club’s sensitivities & also fans’ rivalry/generating atmosphere. Where do you draw the line? Some chants are obviously offensive & need stamping out. Will every chant be scrutinised, sanitised, even liquidated? Swearing about VAR?

@DgGentle I could barely stand up at that point. Walking like a zombie...👏
