    Ball went out for a throw in and went behind the advertising boards.

    We got the spare ball and threw it in.

    Meanwhile DKD decided to climb over the board looking for the old ball. Fabs were shouting that we were already playing but he ignored them and carried on trying to find a football completely unaware that there was a game of football happening behind him

    Exhibit B: Humphreys repeatedly standing 50 yards from play waving his arms around and getting the hump that no-one had tried to float a cross field ball in his direction, despite the fact that every ball more than 10 yards was getting blown in random directions.

    On that one I'd agree but with the caveat that there's a chance he was instructed to do that by the manager

    Exhibit C, Killip waving his hands looking at the linesman when the ball was still in play and no whistle had blown.

    Exhibit d: despite numerous crisp packets blowing across his face from left to right Killip consistently trying to kick the ball towards the right wing and the ball going into touch on the rightwing.

    Game knowledge and management is exceptionally poor across this squad.

    Also he’d just have to lift his arms and see which way his crisp packet hands were flapping to figure it out.

    I don't understand why when it's windy no staff ever get the rubbish off the pitch at half time.

    But when he didn't one of the coaches could and should have gone behind the goals and told him to change the way he was trying to distribute the ball.

    Example F. Cotter broke his neck to sprint over to the East Stand to take a long throw…..into a full on gale. Fortunately no one let him.

    They're not allowed to do that, but someone absolutely did need to get an instruction on to distribute short. Bizarrely in the 2nd half he was often looking to do just that, but found all of the players in front of him were looking in the opposite direction.

    I think a lot of fans like him because he's capable of doing something a bit different than the rest. I certainly do, but we're not getting anywhere near the best out of him.

    I've never seen a player so eager to get off the field when substituted as he was today, he looked like he'd been waiting an hour to get taken off.
