Neil has done very well, but if only he knew his true potential. (school report from when I was 11 - still true). All opinions are mine, obviously.

@hepppy @sthayes74 Not correct. Rule 13.1a Part of the ball has to be touching the green to be classed as on the green.

Yet another dreadful decision from my football club this year. Absolute catalogue of disasters from Knapper, Ward/Webber and Flo Allen. Astonishing how they can be so out of touch.
The fans don’t forget, are rarely wrong and will be here long after those 3 are gone #ncfc

Please remember that behind every footballer is a person who gives their life to the game, and endings are felt far more deeply than people on the outside often see.

@rhayadercompute The way the flag lies on the green indicated the slope for putting. Clever stuff back in the day.

As far as "bad things to happen to Championship clubs" go, I thought it was Sheffield Wednesday fans who deserved the most sympathy, but Ipswich have just taken horror to a whole new level.

The ex-Norwich, Aston Villa and Ipswich boss picks his dream team from the players he managed!

No defence is messing with that front two!

@BobRutler Foul on Oscar after his goal. Bloke got booked…

[Neil Gilding @NeilGilding]

@mrjakehumphrey Of course we were sleepwalking to relegation. 9 points from 15 games meant Manning needed 14 wins from 31 just to finish 4th bottom. He had zero chance of that. Any later would simply have been too late. Wasn’t 7 league defeats in a row at home enough of a sign?

[Neil Gilding @NeilGilding]

@mrjakehumphrey As for Knappers signings….I’ll hold my opinion on the 30 million pounds he spent on Jurasek, Diallo, Crnac, Kvistgaarden and Topic. None of which are or were physical able to cope with this league. Darling was already a mid table championship defender.

[Neil Gilding @NeilGilding]

@mrjakehumphrey Chant was exactly right at the time. The performances were dire. They clearly weren’t doing all they could, given the exact same players have managed 8 points from the last 5 games under a proper manager.

@AdamConor I’ll hold my opinion on the 30 million pounds he spent on Jurasek, Diallo, Crnac, Kvistgaarden and Topic. None of which are or were physical able to cope with this league. #ncfc

[Neil Gilding @NeilGilding]

@Al__TheWin 6th place is historically about 74 points. We have 17 points from 21 games. Would need 57 more points. 19 wins from 25 games. #factsonly

The commentary for the Kenny McLean halfway line goal is superb.

Pure passion.

Kenny McLean, take a bow 👏

[All About Opinions @OpinionFest1]

@cjsouthwell1902 Ben Knappers awful recruitment has got us on the brink.

Zoe Webbers insane commercial decisions whilst ignoring the fans wishes has created an "us vs them" scenario.

They need to go as well.

#ncfc

[Neil Gilding @NeilGilding]

@Holtamania Completely. Jacob Wright on for one of the 4 attackers on 65 minutes was the only decision to make. Strengthen the midfield and control the tempo. But no…utter garbage. Goodbye Manning.

[Neil Gilding @NeilGilding]

Perfectly spoken and explained. Pundit contribution of the year award.
