Good morning from Houston, Texas. I have my first cold in like 2 years. Damn, damn, damn. We're going to win though.
Middlesbrough stadium looks quite empty. Fulham fans are corralled into a small area on one the sides and not in one of the ends or corners.
Holding a nice minute of silence for those who have lost their lives in the service, I think.
Morning all from still dark CA... 049:gif
Hoping for a big game from Josh and Bobby.
And Dennis defensively.
Expecting the norm from Tom, Mitro and Harrison.
Oh...and for anyone interested...FFCTV has been working perfectly for me the last 10 minutes prior to the game kicking off. We'll see if it continues.
Someone is playing a trumpet.

LOL...need that to stick for another 89 minutes.
And Sheff and Leeds dropped points.
Come on Fulham :clap_hands: 049:gif
We are dominating possession, let's hope we can make it count early.

WBA 1 Charlton 0
Blackburn 2 up now.
Odoi booked in 5 mins...
We look better than them.
Rodak haha couldn't make it up
/sigh
Whaaat
That´s the end of Rodak for a few games.
Betts would never make that mistake... :dft011: :dft011: :dft011:
WTF I step away for a minute and now I find myself trying to figure out what is going on :031:
Only Fulham could do this, chance of top 6 probably thrown away!
Trouble now.

Is it 3 games for that?
What the f was he doing there,madness.
Oh well we've lost to bottom 2 we be as well lose to 4th bottom.
We keep messing up when we have a chance to put pressure on top 2.
What just happened?
Ffs wish we had var for situations like that, think that hit his armpit not his arm, ref just wanted to send him straight off
:blow candles:b

Rodak straight red for handling outside the box, though i dont think it actually hit his arm, he charged out and hit his armpit
But let's all be positive! It's ONLY the 8th chance to move into a serious challenger spot that we're about to blow.
We should be grateful.

The ball looks to have not hit his arm. However, he instinctively raised his arms to make himself bigger though, which made it look like he handled it.

Came charging out to near halfway and handed..lol

The only thing we have been consistent at, missing out!
Have a weird feeling we'll still win 😂🍺

I have this feeling too, because Middlesbrough isn't very good.
We should do better than Southampton!

Would be truly Fulhamish wouldn't it
We have already done the Fulhamish thing for today, keeper sent off!
Set up two banks of four, every player raises their game two gears. We can still be hard to beat, if ever we needed a clean sheet and a clean pillow case it's today.
Had our luck last time with Ollie's penalty 95 mins.
This is the time to play our passing game and slow down the tempo.
Middlesbrough is controlling the game now.
We cannot sit back too deep, otherwise we are Doome d.
Which player was sacrificed for Betts.

Onomah
Haha, finally gets a start to show what he's about.
Gets subbed for a goalkeeper 20 mins in
Boro are so poor but they will still probably win by 2
Who's watching this? How are we playing and are we getting dominated?

This is a test of character-
COYW 049:gif
If he hadn't handled it'd be 1 nil.
The two last fouls by Boro are borderline reds. Especially the one on Cairney. That was a truly ridiculous challenge.

I just don't understand how's that a red. It seems that he tackled and the ball was going to a side and hit his armpit 1500.gif
1. Onomah was poor. (don't go writing him off already Fulham fans)
2. We can still nick a point being 1 man down. Middlesborough doesn't look like they can score more than one goal.

Looks like he was badly exposed by an AWOL defence - otherwise it wouldn't have been a goalscoring opportunity.
Are we going for 3 at the back after the break?..... hehehehe
Quote from: YankeeJim on October 26, 2019, 03:52:49 PM

Agreed. Under the circumstnces, prolly a good foul to take.
Boro are rubbish - we can still win this

Yep, gonna be tough, but a point here would be a good result. Gonna be dicey though, Boro dangerous when they have possession in our end. Though, FFC has had a few scoring chances being down the man, maybe we can surprise. Still, one point, good result.
Not one shot on target from either side in that half
Is it my imagination or have we defended better since the sending off? They had some clear changes early.
Mitro missed a sitter,didn't even connect Reid's cross.
Even the best miss.😊

Notice the linesman who was level with play .Never raised his flag.
Little Lecce just drew with Juventus.
Many have won with 10,MK Dons with 9 once.
But then we're Fulham.😫
GJ is saying it did hit his right hand now. There is photo on social media or something.
Given that we play a possession game hopefully we can cope with being a man down.

By the looks of it Ream came into the shot just after the incident so I'd say yes we were caught very high

Probably not!!
Can't wait for January for the arrival of Hector and hopefully a right back and maybe an aging world class keeper.
Excellent vocal support from our fans.
WBA 1Charlton 1
Preston 2-2 now.
West Brom just got a red card.
Games around us being very kind again, shame we cannot take advantage

We're 5th as it stands
There are 4 teams with a game in hand who can move above us, don´t get too excited!

If we sneak a winner we're up to 2nd as it stands - this league is nuts.

I'm far from excited, I just think it's mental that we have had 10 men since the 17th minute and as it stands we move up 2 places. We've been very lucky with other results of late.

Agreed!
Millwall 2 up on Stoke...Stoke beat us then lose 2 on trot.
West Brom go ahead with TEN men.
We are starting to look tired, nobody wants to run into spaces....
Bring in AK47 for some high octane aimless running.

Probably still in shock after beating us as I am!
Will Reid ever score for us?
Preston 3-2 from 2 down.
And Preston go 3-2 up and move into 2nd
Knockaert to get the winner?
Is there anyone in the world who doesnt think Boro are gonna score in the 90th min?
Anyone else bracing themselves for heart break?
Ah, I have forgotten about Knockaert.... stay on the bench AK

95th minute no doubt. Knockaert please!
MLM might as well throw in the towel, strange choice!
Results going against us now, WBA winning, oh dear!

Tbh it's second I have my eyes on at the very very best so that's what I'm keeping tabs on
Charlton equalise at WBA
In fairness our 10 men have played well today, think we would easily have won with a full team
West Brom Charlton 2-2

No one is running away with it this season. Not yet anyway.
Thought that was it!
FT 0-0
Will take that after losing Rodak.
We did it boys.. that's a good result considering
A well deserved point, but really 2 lost!
We survived. Good job gents.
A Clean sheet, a Clean Sheet!!! :Get Coat gif:
They think it's all over, it is now.
Good result considering the red card.
That's the answer to our defensive woes....play with ten men.
Quote from: davew on October 26, 2019, 05:00:13 PM

It's one more point than we had this morning.
Considering the circumstances, this is a massive result. However, we should have destroyed Boro. They are truly horrid.
Well, on to the next one.

FT 0-0
Fair result, considering man down for most of the match. Thought FFC had a good second half battling and even creating a few chances for themselves. Too bad Mitro didn't have his Serb kit on, he would have buried that late chance. Good game, all considered.
Superb performance. True grit. So proud of the lads & the very vocal traveling fans. Well deserved point. Bryan & Mitro were giants in defence.
Who's out third keeper?
Safe travel to all our fantastic fans..... loud and proud all afternoon.
Great point all things considered.
