Red card for a manager is always a bit of theatre both for the manager (who can “show how much he cares”) and the referee (who can “show that he is really in charge”) but it has no practical impact.

Of course we could go up to Grimsby and stick five past them

Yep. And it might end up that our goal difference really does make a difference, when it comes to it

Bloody hell Salford 3-0 up. We are in the horrible position of needing a Franchise win.

Harbottle looked dazed, so the referee was wrong in taking the risk. He was quick to stop the game for the PV player who jumped up almost as soon as the ref got there.

3-0 Salford

Salford winning puts Colchester out of the equation but now we need Grimsby to lose too

Jackson was no where to be seen after red card. I sit behind dugouts!

Why would Trevor be on the bench?

Yes I'm sure it was Trevor

Salford winning

From my vantage point, it looked like Trevor Williams was the one sent off!

Jackson has form (unlike the team) in this area as he's done it before - I think it's his way of suggesting he shows passion when the team is clearly placid on the pitch. He over-eggs it for effect.

That fat cunt tunnel steward is a jokeshop. Looks like something from Benny Hill. What the fuck we he ever do. Would take him a week to cover 5 yards

A lovely 2 and half hour drive home now, hoping Palace lose 🙏

Jackson should be at the least disciplined. As a leader, to get sent off and not be on the touchline for potentially the most important games of the season is amateurish to say the least

Thought the cabaret by the security at the end was the most entertaining part of the match. How much did that cost the club?

We were shit. Referee was shit. To top it all shit Chelsea shirts in Wimbledon. Basically its all shit.

Simmie - boos were for the coward dickhead ref as he ran down the tunnel faster than Neufville when he’s sprinting down the wing!!!

From where I was I don't think it was a head injury at all just before the second goal - but to be fair I couldn't see that clearly (looked to me he went down as he'd misjudged the flight of the ball)

That was a car crash. We look a poorly coached team and that the players don't believe the message they are being given. The last 2 months have been awful, we have a squad that should be in the automatic places. If the results don't fall our way there is every chance that we will drop out of the playoffs which is no less than we deserve. I can't see us winning another game this season even if we fluke getting there. I've always been willing to give JJ the benefit of the doubt but if your base line is going for a 0-0 then you deserve everything you get

Silk, why is that? Because Jackson can’t make subs or rotate

The way we’ve played recently we don’t deserve to be in the play offs

I think a lot of players are tired from being overplayed and others are not match fit from being underplayed. Still unsure why Ogundere has been out on the bench. He could have played RWB at times to rest Neufville.

They are champions for a reason, but damn it we fell off in the last month. We could've won this xxxxxxx weak ass bumbaclut league. ARRRRGGHHH
