Nice one.

[Mystic Mock]

Tbh I honestly feel like we can compete with any team in the League at the moment.

Obviously I shouldn't get carried away, but I feel like we're a top 5 team from what I've seen from every other Championship team so far.

Chong, Deeney, Hogan, Colin & of course Lukas Jutkiewicz all in the same team, how can that not be a top Championship team?

I'm saying all of this before it goes tits up.

[Mystic Mock]

Obviously conceding four goals is never a good thing, but I honestly feel like no other Championship team will look as threatening against Fulham as we did at points in the game.

Plus without meaning to sound bitter, there were two very questionable goals from Fulham, and the Referee did favour them alot throughout the game.

We probably were gonna lose anyway, and in fairness Fulham's done something that no other Championship team has done against us so far this season and that's beat us by a massive margin, so they deserve credit for that.

But seriously with the Referee he shouldn't officiate on a Fulham game ever again as he clearly supports them.

Disappointing result for Birmingham.
Fulham are up there in the top 2.

I was hoping for at least a draw.
Anyhow, on now to the next match.

I'm with you 100% Joey on Fulham, they made us look incompetent defensively which has been odd to say this season.

Hopefully we'll bounce back like all of the great teams do.

Derby will be given a 12 point deduction for entering administration and face a further points deduction for breaking FFP

Poor Derby, their fans don't deserve this imo.

[Mystic Mock]

A classic sign of when the better team isn't trying.

1. Score an own goal
2. Concede a penalty
3. A player getting sent off

Clearly Lee Bowyer has done something to piss these babies off, I mean no offence to Peterborough fans but we're clearly the better team yet we're losing 3-0?

I can't say this about other teams and not my own, players need to grow up and get over their differences and try in every single game that they play, deliberately tanking the team is a disgraceful action to take not just on the Manager, but also on the fans that are watching a farcical "performance" before their very eyes.

I mean fair play to Peterborough for taking advantage, but our players need to get over themselves and actually start trying at the very least against teams that we're better than.

Also this isn't the first time that Blues players have tanked the team because of having issues with the Manager either, I've personally had enough of it.

Honestly I feel really sorry for the fans of Derby here.

What a horrible situation to see your team in if you support them.

[joeysteele]

I agree Mock.

This is really cruel.

It truly is.

And sadly the worst part about all of this is that thanks to Covid we'll see many more teams in this situation for the next few seasons, the Sport needs to do something to stop another massive club like Derby or Sheffield Wednesday from going through this again as it's bad for the Sport to lose these teams potentially.

[Mystic Mock]

Well Woods red card will be rescinded then.

Seriously this Referee was probably worse than the one in the Hull game.

Both teams should've had a penalty, and obviously Woods should've had a yellow card for his foul not a red, but then anyone bar this Referee it seems can tell that.

A good result away from home against a strong team, we do need to attack a little bit more though.

Waiting for the end of this match Mock was near like purgatory for me.
A draw was okay and I agree more attacking needed.
Satisfactory tonight however.

I was actually feeling comfortable personally up until the sending off.

Admittedly I started worrying when that happened.

Ironically I think I was more nervous for Man Utd tonight than I was for us which is probably a weird thing to say. I think maybe it's because I came into this Coventry game expecting us to lose so for most of the game I didn't get too worked up.

We've shown the Footballing world though Joey that we can draw with the best of the best in our league even when 7 of our major players aren't available to us, that's something to be proud of.

[joeysteele]

Good to see Birmingham win today.
Well done.
More of that please.

Agreed Joey.

It was nice to see that it was Jutkiewicz that had finally scored too.

It was indeed Mock.
I was so relieved that goal came about.

[Mystic Mock]

God we were dreadful for 85 minutes, some of the worst Football I think that I have ever seen us play, and I've seen some shocking performances over the years from Blues.

A strong finish though I'll give us that.

The same cannot be said for the Referee though, he was **** for 90 minutes.

I don't know what it is with this club and **** Refereeing, but we're drawn to each other like Monkeys are drawn to Bananas, it just never stops.

**** analogy I know.

[Mystic Mock]

We're getting relegated this season.

Yeah we can score more frequently under Bowyer, but we can't defend on any basic level, and I honestly can't see where the next win is gonna come from.

And yes the Referee had a terrible game tonight, but even I can only blame the Referees to a certain extent for our bad results.

Imo the owners are a disgrace, Trillion Trophy Asia/whatever alias they're going as currently were blatantly dodgy owners to me when they sacked Rowett who only had us 4 points off 2nd place, for Zola who's always been a bad Manager.

And if Harry Redknapp couldn't get us going, then how are Managers like Steve Cotterill & Pep Clotet supposed to get us playing well? And don't even get me started on this loaning business that we seem to have currently going on when it comes to transfers.

Basically we're not seeing the Premier League again until these owners leave the club, and that is sad to say as I normally like to be optimistic when it comes to Blues, but not with them in charge.

[Mystic Mock]

What a weird season for Birmingham City Football Club.

1. We've played diabolical most games, in some of them we've defended so badly that even Fort William up in Scotland could beat us.

2. The referees allows teams to score offside goals against us for fun, literally Derby & Sheffield Utd robbed us of points that were rightfully ours, but having 12 men on the team bought them points.

3. Being allowed to take the ball out for a goal kick just to then pass it to your teammate to then smash it into an empty net against us. This is the most creative way of the 12 men Hull City to cheat us out of points during a game before, I almost respect it.

4. We have players get sent off just for daring to tackle.

5. And on Tuesday 15th March, Middlesbrough will get their Maradona on again and play with their hands instead of their feet and rob us of a result just like they did to Man Utd in the FA Cup, because once a cheat always a cheat am I right guys?

6. Forget dealing with Fergie time or Ole time, we had to deal with Rooney time where Derby equalised in the 45th minute of added time.

Yet despite all of this, we've somehow got 36 points on the board and are in 18th place.

Question is does anyone think that any of the other teams in the Championship could receive this much cheating against them and achieve the same or better result than us? Tbh the only team in the Championship that I think could outdo us with this deficit against them is Fulham, everybody else... No chance imo.

Forest Green effectively securing promotion to League 1 today

Surreal to do it today by consigning Oldham to possible relegation when they've had so much history in the upper leagues while almost all of our history has been non league.

Will be playing Derby in the league next year. The record ever attendancs at FGR was quite a few years ago against Derby in the FA Cup. At that time we were separated by four divisions I think
