Why do players put their arms in the air before taking a free kick

****ing annoying

they are signaling to their team mates where the ball is going to be delivered ( or rather where the kicker wants the ball to be delivered. There’s a big difference between aspiration and actual delivery)

And at corners. I've always wondered what they are signalling

watch me feck this up?

It's lovely to actually see some football being played between Colwill, Ashford and Turnbull.

[BlueArmy 86]

Yep. Ash looking dangerous. Colwill is unlocking them. How the **** people cannot see his vision is beyond me. He is pulling strings. Cross field balls, backhels, flicks, both feet, balls behind : Colwill is superb

The Birmingham commentator saying he’s running the show since he came m on.

We’ve got some thick fans.

He doesn't run around like a headless chicken and put in horror tackles which means he's crap, obviously

Well don Colwill, according to a mate of mine he was the difference. Credit where it's due, well done to him. Do we credit Bulut as well, because when Colwill performs poorly it always eems to be the fault of Bulut, or the other players. So,well done Bulut.......

Don’t know why but that commentator got on my thrupnies by calling Birmingham ‘Blues’ rather than ‘the Blues’. Jordan James is wasted in that team - hard to believe he’s only 19

[LA Bluebird]

Put football players on the pitch, start to play football. What a concept.

It'll never catch on.

Good away win.

Birmingham in the bottom two, I know Tan gets some stick (most of it rightly so) but those Brum owners really messed them up.

[MOZZER2]

Well Done Bulut
Well done City
Well done travelling support

Great Result and a goal in open play

Fake news

[Undercoverinwurzelland]

Club record up for grabs tonight - if we win by a single goal, we'll have had the longest run of successive single goal wins in the same season in our history with 11.

There it is.

Yippee!

[Eric the Half a Bee]

There it is.

Never in doubt

[Eric the Half a Bee]

And another side right at the bottom that we've beaten away by a single goal. Who'd have thought it?

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Well surely colwill is given the shirt for the last few games then we can see if its a going concern etc etc

Good defence

Boost that midfield and get a genuine goalscorer ?

Play offs

[bobh]

\anyone else's red button coverage keep dropping out?

[Sparticus_Mills]

The problem for Bulut is Rubin isn't a defensive midfielder, nor a central midfielder, a center forward, a winger, or his version of the attacking midfielder which is a midfielder....So he just doesn't have a position for him.

Just give him a free roll, don't worry about defence, as Graham Taylor said to Nigel Clough " just play it as you see it"

[Eric the Half a Bee]

Absolutely. Don't clog him down with lots of defensive responsibilities.

[Dave Blue]

On Leicester have drawn fewer.

[Dave Blue]

Nice link up between Colwill and Bowler after a little tiff a few minutes before

An unfit and overweight Bowler couldn’t be bothered to get to a ball from Colwill near the goal line. I’m not surprised Colwill gave him jip.

A bit unfair...Just he was using his kicking foot to stand on so was flummoxed. How a championship winger can be sooooo one footed it crazy
