This video has a slow-motion replay of Stant’s header in the last minute. How it was ruled out, I’ll never know. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Uq6X...

I’ve never met him but my sense, from people who have, is that you’re being rather generous in limiting your base to people in football.

Was he a gambler returning to the table to try and recoup losses
from a previous business relationship? It’s fairly obvious to those watching on that you’ll never succeed but those previous losses impair judgement.

I always felt he was cornered and willing to sacrifice anything and anyone to save face.

I wasn’t around in person but my recollection, from observing conversations by those who were, was that he was anti-Trust in the early days and gradually inserted himself once those who did the hard work ensuring survival stepped back.

They gave JAH a shovel and allowed him to dig. I thought he came across as someone whose ambition exceeded his ability and totally lacking the skills required to lead a complicated business in a highly competitive sector.

Let’s hope Chelsea come in for a back up.

Braver man than me. I felt I did well to watch it until the end.

Player scores feel more random than usual. Ness lowest scoring defender. Robertson fewer than Norburn & Roos considered acceptable stand out. Very few Notts players were acceptable last night.

Roos, Cotter, …

Dennis, Iopenda, Hall and Luker look decent but I’m not convinced of any others.

As he did last week at Barnet though MacDonald was more influential (in my opinion).

Thinking of Nick Hornby’s description of Gus Ceasar who would have been the best player in his school & area growing up, yet was dismissed by the Arsenal regulars. We have impossible expectations don’t we.
