Derby (H), Wed 9.11 Cowabunga cup

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

Ramsay is gonna replace Trent one day.

 

[King Binny]

Pen shootout from 4:37 onwards

 

[Squiggles]

 

[Frogfish]

Ramsay had a LOT of involvement. Looks very very confident and solid.

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

We used to have a shortage of left-footed players, now it seems we're blessed with many of them. And here's another one who plays on the right, with his left foot !

 

[Bradley]

We need to get Irish Kevin a big club loan next season, maybe even allow him 2 years away.

 

[tomasjj]

hope we can lend out kelleher so that he plays every week for a couple of years, then he takes over for alli

 

[Hansern]

Ramsay was really impressive. Considering that he hasnt had a pre season and only played a few U23 games. Very good defensively, pacey and strong. Great passing ability and comfortable with both feet.
Has to some Argentinian link there..

Could be a serious player that lad.

 

[bluebell]

I thought we looked physically light, had very little aerial threat and toothless upfront.
However, on a positive note, the pass and movement looked really good.
It's not a cup I care too much about so I would continue with the kids until the semis.

Unless we're desperate for money, that'd probably be a good move assuming we've got him tied down on a long contract.

Any good Italian clubs in need of a keeper? They love a good loan.

 

[Hansern]

He's contracted to 2026. I'm assuming he will want to move next summer regardless, either a loan or a transfer. He's to good to be a nr 2.
We signed him for 35 000 £ I think and will probably get 20-25 mill for him.

 

[Irishanfield]

Irish Kevin loves the league cup.

Loved how the commentator couldnt even pronounce cashin last night. Keep calling him ca-shin so not surprising they still cant say Irish Kevin's name correctly

 

[Irishanfield]

Read a stat in the BBC Thst we apparently haven't won a home game in the league Cup inside 90 minutes since 2016. This can't be right can't it?

 

[the count]

 

[LeTallecWiz]

He was doing that on every penalty - the refs should have asked each one to be retaken.

 

[Modo]

And people complain about VAR

 

[Hansern]

Whats the point of the lino being there if he doesnt tell the ref that it needs to be retaken? A stern telling off after every pen worked a treat.

 

[keniget]

It was kinda crazy.

I'm pretty sure they were just let off because they're the underdog.

Kelleher would've been pulled up on it.

 

[tomasjj]

He was just telling him off, after having saved - what a joke.

 

[Richey]

This is the same ref who was letting the Derby keeper's constant time-wasting go throughout the match, so hardly a surprise that he let his shoot out cheating go as well.

 

[Frogfish]

Little to lose for the keeper as he knows that 9/10 he'll get away with it.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

[Hansern]

Everton player that missed the last pen as well.

 

[doctor_mac]

Spot the red infiltrators (in the half and half scarf at the front, and the chap near the top left of the photo). Well played!

That's a chapette in the top left!

What a footballer. This kid is going to be great for us and Trent needs to be looking over his shoulder.

 

[Farkmaster]

Are we seriously going to wring our hands about a goalie who plays without VAR being off their line? This happened for most PKs in the past, some more heinously than others.

 

[Hansern]

There was a rule change before the 19/20 season though;

New: LAW CHANGES 2019/20 Goalkeeper must have at least part of one foot on, or in line with, the goal line when a penalty kick is taken; cannot stand behind the line.

That's a chapette in the top left!

No way is it!
