I think they have given up trying to beat us nowadays, that they just look to see how many 0-0 draws they can squeeze out of us. They still haven't scored a home goal against Jürgen, never mind win a game. Their high point of the season is not losing to us in their kip. You would be annoyed if your Sunday league team had a portakabin for a dressing room. For it to happen at this level is a disgrace.
The game was what it usually is there, awful.
As at many other clubs, the 3 month long siesta didn't help our medical staff much. Other than that, it felt more like a Sunday evening stroll in the park, than a crunch local derby with the title at stake.
I will never understand why there was just 3 minutes added on at the end though. 8 subs in the second half alone would bring 4 minutes stoppage time, more time for injuries leading to the subs, 2 minutes more for what's laughably called a "cooling break", and more minutes for the usual stoppages and their time wasting. It should have been at least 8 minutes, possibly 10. Maybe Dean wanted to get the last bus home or something, but 3 minutes was a joke when the average game nowadays sees at least 5 minutes. Of course I understand that we would probably be there til now and it would still be 0-0.
After all the apocalyptic forecasts though, I want to say thanks to our fans for reminding South Yorkshire Police again that even now, we are football fans, not fools.
