6:19 for Connolly's theatrics Probably 2 each (tripping, unsportsmanlike), do they ever still call that? O'Connor-esque turnover for the winner. Embellishment if you give Carr a penalty too, otherwise diving. All covered under Rule 64: Diving/Embellishment. I lean to both getting a penalty as there is clearly contact.

And for every free ticket that Steelers might hand out there is the same possibility that Panthers will do the same too. It wasn’t a Steelers £5 game last week therefore that is not a case here. Now bearing in mind that Sheffield were charging FULL normal ticket price this year for even pre season games it’s hard, very hard indeed to imagine that they would be giving anything free away for a game against Panthers. So for comparison on equal games look at the official EIHL Challenge Cup average attendance figures for this season...,,Steelers 6953 and Panthers 2743 and that is a shocking stat. And finally,the reason football clubs haemorrhage money as you well know is because they pay absolutely stupid and ridiculous amounts of money they can’t afford in player wages. NOTE: The Average Attendance on the EIHL webpage is wrong because Panthers didn't give an attendance for the Storm game so it's being counted as zero! I’ve just clocked that and changed my post. We’ll give them 3000 for the Manchester game even counting the hundreds of freebies so still miles and miles behind the Steelers.

And another game thread that descends into an attendance discussion. Mmmm Where as the interesting posters like you never contribute anything constructive, you just sit back and read others posts and criticise anything negative written about your precious team ! What’s wrong with talking attendances, it’s far more relevant than your tripe !!! Just to be clear, your criticising a poster for never posting anything constructive on the forum? For only criticising other people's posts? Criticising someone who admits they never post about games or things they haven't witnessed for themselves as there not interested in hearsay? Just checking. PS: Glad you didn't feel the need to attack the poster either. That wouldn't be what you want on the forum either I'm guessing

And another game thread that descends into an attendance discussion. It’s a bit of a worry when Black tells you that next years squad budget is a percentage of what has paid at the door. On the one hand, it's just good business practice and so makes sense. On the other hand, feeling the need to tell the fans so early in the process of a season feels I little too much like blackmailing the faithful into keeping the attendances up by bringing friends, rather than making them excited to bring friends at which point the attendances take care of themselves. It's a small difference but depending on intention behind it telling. It's a bit like Klopp or Guardiola saying they're like to see the stadium fuller midweek at the start of this season to inspire the team... Except they immediately apologised and rowed back on their comments when they realised they hadn't gone down well with fans who have other commitments or financial issues after the pandemic Yet I can't see GM or NB ever doing that. Or being too concerned with how their comments are received in the first place. And that's what I find sad. But the team is the team. As long as they give it everything that's who I'm supporting. The management...

Supposing crowds drop to 2,000. What sort of roster can you expect then? Like fife ? The return of Matt Carter! 3 point weekend for him I think.

I think people are too obsessive over crowds. Maybe the 5th game we’ve had to pay extra for…in a group most people won’t care about. I bet when it comes to a league game where all season ticket holders will have theirs included and then the fair weathers attend, it’ll be closer to capacity.
Regardless, back on topic, a much different start to Wallace’s first two “seasons” where we were slow to win games. Nice to see us grinding them out. We kept our discipline much better than Steelers did when it became clear Hogarth was going to call everything.
And nothing has been said about Wallace throwing 3 towards out for the GWG. A bold move and it worked!

A bold move and it worked! Yes, nice to see us winning from the start and getting the ugly wins when required. I guess the advantage of having a core of players familiar with Wallace's systems already from the previous years so it's just a question of getting the new players on the same page target than everyone like the first year. Definitely a bold choice that paid off for sure!

Enough people have been driven away from the forum and from posting already by this kind of trolling and aggression. Stopping posting just gives them what they want: an echo chamber podium with no other voices to counteract their own. I, for one, value your presence and posts and I'm sure many others do. Only in a multitude of voices will the lone shouting of aggression eventually been drowned out. Don't give bullying voices what they want: your silence. All best, b&g73

And then people wonder why the forum is barely used nowadays

Bang out of order by iginla. Tripe of the highest order. Just aggression and bullying, plain and simple. Poor show. The way it's going, as alluded to, he'll have no-one to shout at and disagree with.

How long are people going to stand by and enable this type of behaviour to happen again and again. And then people wonder why the forum is barely used nowadays Before you attack the usual poster (me) perhaps you would care to have a look back through this thread and check who first mentioned the low crowd attendance. It wasn’t me ! This thread was going nowhere with very few posts at all pre game, until a perfectly ok post from me sparked a flurry of posts. Post game the thread is still not really going anywhere until TFS commented on attendance and I replied with perfectly ok further content as attendance is perfectly relevant. Mary then decides as she (presumably) has done quite a few times before to somehow blame me for taking over a thread. Now I can stand any criticism that comes my way but not from somebody who mostly sits back and reads without contributing much themselves, then is quick to criticise me for commenting on perfectly reasonable content. Post game the attendance debate sparked quite a few replies again and a good job too as the thread would probably have died a very quick death without it. I don’t wish to upset anybody and I’m sorry Mary has taken offence,but this one ain’t my fault.

2) If you disagree with a post, attack the content rather than the author. We're all grown-ups, show proper respect to other posters. 3) We operate zero tolerance on 'Trolling', ie comments not helpful to the debate but made in order to provoke an adverse reaction from other posters.
Your "tripe" post clearly is against these two "rules", for me, I'm afraid.

Then go back and have a look at how many of Mary’s posts were aimed at,or blamed or had a dig at me. I looked yesterday and it happened quite a lot for somebody who didn’t post a great deal.

Meanwhile, back at the plot, I see the highlights are back up to snuff. What was the point of showing Matheson being shoved in the back at 3.00? It wasn't even a penalty was it? Two seconds of buildup to the Latal goal, four seconds for the Carozza goal? Are they on a time budget?
