There is no way on God's Green Earth that a team of professional footballers who actually give a damn about the fans that pay their wages or remotely care about the team they are signed to play for can only manage TWO shots the whole game compared to the oppositions TWENTY TWO shots, and have NONE as in ZERO shots on goal while the opposition has FIVE and scores TWO goals. BULL SHIT, the whole squad are nothing but bull shifters even pretending to be professional footballers.
Well done Scally ,you stupid M****r ******* moron.

I was actually reasonably happy with the first half but what happened in the second? It was men against boys, and our boys looked exhausted. Suddenly no one was able to pass to another blue shirt, they all forgot how to tackle and they were all hiding behind opposition players. Really disappointing.
