The handball by Tariq. Well it's not a penalty if he sticks his hand up. It would've been had it actually touched his hand.
The penalty that was given was your typical premier league penalty, the type we never get because our players are honest. He stopped running meaning Stanks bumped into him and he took a dive.
That is not a penalty. It's cheating.

A bit of sense is required by certain sections(not on here) of our support about last night.
That City starting eleven came in at a cost of £309million and had 442 International caps between them. Some of those lads will earn more in 1 year than the whole of our squad put together will

Good performance from Town last night. Could have been a better scoreline, but also could have been worse. The main negative was the possession we gave away cheaply to lose two of the goals. Naïve defending at best - get rid of it quickly, up the field, into the stands - when in doubt, give it a clout.
What we did do well was give the City defence a bit of trouble and we'll struggle to hold on to Billing for next season. A real touch of class and cool and composed.

to say that was our reserves plus a 35 year old who has played three games in a week near enough I think we did pretty well attacking wise, when we decided to attack and run at them they panicked as they have done all season. what we didnt do was keep it tight at the back, it was too open and in that 8 minute period where they scored 3 goals we looked flustered and couldnt cope with their pace whatsoever. they could have been 5 up at half time but we could have had a couple ourselves. second half we looked better and they missed their final pass a few times as pep said, but i think they took their foot off the gas after halftime once they had made up for their start.
the only thing i'll point out is that our reserves handled the game well in the first tie, but looked a little bit out of place or overawed in the second, the positive is that the younger players will benefit from the experience and that the reserves made the multi million defence look shakey.
what i will say is our first team, would have probably suffered some similar fate, as is the gulf in class, but maybe not to the same extent. think it would have been 4-2 if our full side had been out

Bit harsh on Lolley Shep. He tried hard but you're right he should have scored. He tweeted he was very disappointed in himself about his performance so he doesn't need loads more criticism. Let's not forget he was playing non-league only a couple seasons ago! I'm travelling up north for 4 days to watch the newcastle and villa games, let's hope we bag 6 points and get ourselves back on track. UTT

Best thing last night? Seeing 8 year old kids joining in with; It's a fu*king dream.

Yeh, you leave my Joe alone. If I'd done my usual sub on sub off thing on PFP I'd be skint by now.
RE: HUDDERSFIELD TOWN v MAN CITY - Lord Snooty - 02-03-2017
Well one thing's for sure, yond Aussie lad Mooy ain't good enough for that City team. I'd stay with us if I were him.
RE: HUDDERSFIELD TOWN v MAN CITY - jjamez - 02-03-2017
joe lolley, sean scannell and harry bunn arent bad players, they just arent as good as rajiv, kach and izzy. now next season we are going to be down on brown, the question is are the first 3 good enough for town and the style of football that we play? are they good enough to deliver performances that the second 3 have done over the course of a season?
now i aint the manager so i can only offer an opinion, and in my opinion they are good enough as squad players, but thats just about where it ends.
RE: HUDDERSFIELD TOWN v MAN CITY - WakeyTerrier - 02-03-2017
Snoots...what was it like in Tier1, atmosphere any good?
as for Bunn and Lolley, I'm afraid they just won't be good enough going forward. Both need to step up another level to stay in the the team and I just can't see that happening
