Didn’t look as though it took a deflection, the lad just seemed to aim it true & straight.
It's almost like someone told them something like "if you get to 80 minutes and it's still 0-0, just let them have one".
When the chance of progressing in a cup competition becomes a distraction for a team, then that team has died in a way.
It becomes a sad, pathetic and embarrassing catch 22 situation, where some of our so called fans, want a weakened team on the pitch, or want to hastily get knocked out of said cup, because they want the manager and squad to consentrate on either promotion or stave off relegation.
When I first started going down the City in the late 70’s, if some mystic had told me I’d see the club play at Wembley 4 times in the next 35yrs, I’d have thought they were bonkers.
Now we actually have fans who got bored of that, and want to solely concentrate on league games.
We are limited in ability in the Premiership, but have the class to have comfortably beaten Gillingham today. The fact that some of our fans aren’t bothered that we didn’t, speaks volumes for modern day support. Cash is king, and that’s all that matters. Pathetic!
I’d like to go as far as we possibly could in the FA cup or League cup and also do our best to stay up. If we failed on all fronts, I’d have no regrets about going down. What is the point of actually playing the game of football if you don’t try your best to win every game you play? Call me old fashioned or naive, but that’s been my opinion since the first time I went to Ninian Park.
I don't think Morrison rolling about on the floor appealing to the ref instead of getting up quickly and being alert to the danger helped.
Laudable sentiments but having been at the game, the team fielded was easily capable of winning and should have done quite comfortably.
Warnock definitely got it right in my view. We put out a side that should have won, and looked like they would do quite easily.
Getting ‘easy’ draws and fielding slightly weakened teams in the hope of sneaking to the QFs/SFs makes sense to me.
I USED to take the FA Cup as seriously (more seriously!) as other games, especially when we were a lower division side, but not any more I’m sad to say :-(
