I’m not I’m conflating it wit this weird attitude that anyone who

Criticises anything at all that our club does is somehow disloyal. Permeated mainly by the kind of people who wear those god awful silk scarfs to away games.

I posted yesterday that I didn’t think we should play Zimmerman because his fragile fitness meant he might pick up a longer term injury. That happened. No hindsight involved. It’s annoying.

I agree their player should have been done for the tackle. vAR should have intervened in my view.

        Jim - you’re right that players not fully fit are more likely to be injured (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 31, 19:44:01
        
        Well your prediction is entirely unproven as you well know. (NCFC) - norway, Aug 31, 19:40:41

        As are players who get wiped out by bad tackles. Jim, you're being weird. (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, Aug 31, 19:38:50
