Can someone explain that yellow for Bowen when Ramsdale wiped him out.

Minimum contact but totally stopped him running on

That'll be Mike Dean - hopefully today was the last time I'll ever see that prick.

Bowen jumps over Ramsdale to avoid getting wiped out and gets booked by that stupid tosser Dean. Oh and can I just say, I hate Alan Smith... "Streetwise", cheating more like! mad

When the yellow card came out I assumed it was being shown to Ramsdale. Shocking decision.

Thought this might cheer us up a bit.

On 2nd May 1964 West Ham defeated Preston North End in the FA Cup Final to win the Cup. A few days later, the West Ham team went to a cinema in central London to watch highlights of the match before taking public transport back home.
The Cup had been on display at the cinema and manager Ron Greenwood brought it back to Upton Park on the tube.

Greenwood looks a bit excited in that photo. Does anyone think he’s been looking at pictures of tractors? winklaugh

Agree about Mike Dean, be glad to see the back of that biased bd.We were also awarded corner on the stroke of half time, most other refs would let you take before blowing for half time,not him.
We were afraid to cross the ball in, not nice to be there, very frustrating, although could probably have expected it with Thursday on the horizon

Kick off for the Man City game has changed... whufc.com.

That's my train tickets totally worthless now... How can they get away with this? I thought when it was confirmed as being a TV match, that was it. FFS furious

Probably not the club's fault - they are subject to the whims of Sky.

Sorry to hear that,those that make the decisions never see the bigger picture for the fans.

It will absolutely be Sky. Why they want it on earlier if it's a TV match I don't know. Bloody annoying to do it this close to the date.

Thanks and you're totally right, the fans are the least of their concerns when it comes to things like this. I know Irons that travel from Yorkshire that will have bigger headaches than me trying to rearrange train tickets. This will have messed up plenty of away fans' travel plans as well.

Wow... that's shocking. Surely they know people will have already made travel plans, home and away fans. It's not like it's another London club. Wonder what the reasoning behind it is?

I wonder if it's to be seen to be doing something after the trouble at the last few games with beer'ed-up boneheads kicking off? Fighting with the German commentator and abusing Eddie Bovington to the extent that he left the stadium after only 20 mins of the game. Absolute scum...

I didn't think about that. Could be I guess. Whatever the case, it's far too close to be changing kick off times. It was already changed for TV and the club will know that fans travel from far and wide to attend games.

Totally agree, the people that did that are scum.

I'd assumed it was more to do w/ the potential EL Final a few days later (maybe presumptious on the Clubs part I know).
