The main issue here is that we might - might - be looking to kill off a club. That would be completely unacceptable in my view, same as it would be if someone did it to us.
If there are good players in Australia, then by all means buy some. No need to be like Chelsea.
Lots of good points made by Gary, Nix and others here.
Dave, I think your post is a good summary of how I feel as well. I'm 55, getting to the stage where I'm counting off the chances to win something. I thought yesterday had some positives, ya, but cup football's about winning and that game was by definition a missed opportunity.
I thought the players out there gave a fine effort, but you've nailed it with your second sentence: the depleted squad killed us. In a match of fine margins, we were without far too many key players, and lost two more during the match.
Ya, eastside, definitely rumours beforehand that West Ham were bringing too many because of moody tickets in the East End.
The match report is right, though - the mood was decent that day. Except for a few minutes, I think anyway, when it went tense when they tried to put West Ham into the Loft. I seem to remember a surge forward that changed the mind of the Police. So they were all put into the Paddocks and some into the Ellserslie.
Agree also that when Hillsborough happened we all looked back at this match as one of those games where it could hahe happened. Spurs away around the same time was another where people were fainting from the crush.
