That penalty. Fuck sake. The camera was on Beto for ages. At night point did he give the impression of being confident and comfortable taking it. Then hits it with 10% power. Perfect end to a frustrating first half.

I don't think it's too surprising that Beto gets the nod. DCL is on a horrid run and has been as guilty as anyone of missing chances. Let Beto batter the defence then bring DCL on when they're all bruised! Other than that...not far off our strongest 11. Arguments can be made about Godfrey I guess. To be honest, not arsed about the petty stuff. Like everyone...just want the win!!!

Roofers from over the road knocked on my door today. Asked me if the white car was mine. I said 'no, it's my step sons'.

Just looked at the table...automatically went to the bottom! Felt strange scrolling up to see us. Then realising how good that felt. It will likely feel good for the players. And for the fans in the stadium. More, another 3 points will make it all feel very different as we can realistically look ahead instead of behind.

I don't think so. I expect us to find form and pull away. We're in our shit spell...we'll come good.

I envisioned this guy to look more Super Hero than Roland Rat.

@duncanmckenzieismagic Any chance you could post that in a bigger font please mate? Struggling to see it.

Was it not something to do with the structure of interest payments for the cost of the stadium? Was there not some sort of rule shift during 22/23 that basically meant we had to account for interest payments on the stadium money (because it was 'internal' money?), whereas if we had taken a loan from a bank, we would have been OK? That was the chat going round after the original verdict anyway. I'm not great with the official wording though!!!

Year 4 will be last season won't it? Aug 22 - May 23? Russian sanctions started in Feb 22, so the 21-22 season...so year 3??? Because we've already put that forward as an argument. And it was rejected.

Yeah, I was thinking that. But let's say they weren't. Mind, you'd be up shit creak either way I guess.

You shouldn't be getting punished again if it's based mainly on a single year, which I think it is. Let's say a club, over 3 years, is sound for the first 2 of those years. Then the owner goes nuclear, so spends like fuck in the 3rd year. If that 3rd year stays being 'the one', you get done for another 3 seasons. Each season, losing points and places in the league...therefore losing more money. They've just got no fucking clue how to apply it logically. Hence, they're changing it next season.

Yep. What's the bets we get another 6 taken off in April?! Shite really.

That would make sense. I just can't imagine these guys where the only ones.

Can only hope I suppose. 777 seem pretty tricky. I've often found it difficult to believe that only the likes of 777 are interested. With the stadium, you'd expect 'someone' of better reputation to be interested. The only thing I can think of is that the financial set up at the club was/is such a mess that only 777 have been dumb enough to put a foot forward. I've also thought along the lines of wondering, controversially, whether the passing of BK changes the landscape at all?

Fucker. I mean, we didn't deserve anything. But it's still sore to go one up then collapse against 10. These players need to find some confidence from somewhere. We know they can play a lot better than this. We've seen it plenty of times. Onto the next one.

It's so shit when you concede against 10men. We've just been dogshit and not brave enough.

I'm not liking how it feels as if we have 10 men!!!

I'm clearly a minute or 2 behind...

Good run Beto. Played the offside well...was never on balance though. Don't think he ever is!

Keep going though because I think Beto is 'on it' today.

What a strike! That's how you do it DCL, Beto, Doucs, Gana....etc

@duncanmckenzieismagic You've made a very valid point there regards Dyche and the shackles. Remember, we were playing quote open and fairly good football before the deduction. We had to rallied to get those points on the board. With a lot of effort, we only managed to get on an even standing with the bottom teams. Now we're cautiously trying to pick up points. It's a really tough predicament to be in.

Is right aswell. You can tell its creating an unnecessary anxiety around Goodison Park. Do we know, at all, how many clubs are facing failing PSR? The January window would indicate a fair few! I wonder if there really is a decent amount and that's why the PL want to change the rules next season. Sorry, I know this has probably all been talked about already.

Beto: I think he has more than being credited for. Very rough around the edges. Like DCL, is left fighting for scraps with crosses and passes that go all over in the final 3rd. I like him. Chimitti: Absolutely no idea. Harrison: He's done good. On a shite run in line with the team just now. But isn't he up at the top 3 or so for goals and assists? He's certainly chipped in his worth. Danjuma: Looks a threat. The problem is he's a greedy selfish cunt. I wouldn't play him. Young: Thought he was a good signing to fill in. Problem is he's filled in too often and in positions he looks awful and has let us down. Defo Weakened Dyches credibility. I think the signings we've made are reflective of the market we're in. We'll have to get used to it I'm afraid.

It should all be 'suspended' pending clear improvements. Whatever it ends up being. The other thing that bugs me, I'm sure it does you and everyone else, and I can't quite get my head around, is that the next charge is to be announced in April? But then I guess that has a right of appeal too. But the timeliness of these things, so far anyway, show that the season would be finished! As we all know, the more we talk about it and look at it, the crazier it all gets.
