That's two derbies in a row where they haven't turned up, there is no excuse for that. What really pisses me off is the amount players mouth off in the press during the week about how "up for it" they are and then just roll over and die when it's time to be counted. Talk is cheap.
Standing there at the end and watching the filth all mong about to rocking all over the world was awful, just humiliating. And we've got no excuses, we got played off the park today by a bunch of kids and loanees whose wagebill must be half of ours.
Couple of other points. I know Hughes and Robinson are poor but today was a new low. Robinson does NOTHING, he stands there and watches and plays pointless 2 yard passes. He offers no threat, no cutting edge of any kind. Hughes is worse and that is some feat. When you're recieving the ball from a throw and knocking it straight out then it's time to have a word with yourself. Just dreadful. Could Spillane have done any worse than those 2 today?
Why was Doc back? Why change a winning side that has kept clean sheets? I know Grant is learning but I just cannot see how anyone could have come to that decision. Doc should be shipped out asap. His accolade of last years player of the season must be one of the most hollow in our history.
Lastly the kick off time was bollocks. If Rangers v Celtic games can be played in midweek or 3 on a Saturday then I think the Suffolk constabulary may just be able to deal with Norwich v Ipswich. I think with the amount of Old Bill out today they could have policed a River v Boca clash. Just a stupid time that ruins the atmosphere.
What a s**t day.
