    The penalty was a stonewaller.

    I don't care that we dropped points today, in all honesty. I feel as complacent as the players evidently feel. Regardless of what happened today, we are still going to win this title at a canter and the players know it. Lenny knows it too, which is why he rested so many key players.

    We have bigger fish to fry. Europe is the priority this season, as the title will probably be in the bag by Christmas.

    it was a stonewall penalty, and the offside goal was a correct decision because the player who challenged our defender was in an offside position. If he had never gone for the ball then it wouldnt have made it through to their striker.

    Not the best start to the season for our Swedish foes. :56:

    Good!

    we didnt get a penalty decision it happens. I totally agree with everything else, but people writing these off cause they play in a "weak" league is just ridiculous, our league is not very good so does this mean we cant compete against teams from bigger leagues.

    I don't think he's writing them off because they're in a weak league. The point is they may be beating their league leaders (or have been at the time the discussion started), but is that really something that should be concerning us? There's no doubt it'll be a tough game, but are they really much better than the sort of teams we'll be facing week in, week out?

    I wasn't writing them off based on the league that they play in though. I was asking how people thought the SPL compared to the Swedish leagues, so that I could get a general idea of what we will be coming up against in midweek. If they are as poor as they sound, then we should get to the CL group stages no problem.

    I see that they're actually losing now. Good news for us.

    thats a decision i couldnt get my head round. best centre half at the club, in my opinion anyway, was sat on the bench. why?

    Didnt realise they are halfway through their season aswell, heard people warning not to take their league position into account but they really dont look anything special from this stream.

    FT Elfsborg 2-1 Helsingborgs, hopefully knocks their confidence!

    Definitely a positive for us. Let's hope we don't get the backlash from their defeat though.

    Who knows? My guess is that we can't get rid of Wilson and he's giving him another chance.

    Sometimes I wonder if we actually watch players properly. How we signed that dud Lustig I'll never know.

    simple as this:

    Helsinborg are 5th in their Swedish league.

    If we cannot beat a 5th placed Swedish Team to gain entry into the Champions League, we can * right off.


    Anyone else with me?

    What do you mean who knows? :56:

    The important game is midweek and Rogne will more than likely start. Given his injury woes it was 100% the correct call.

    It's about time we signed a defender then.

    We really need a no nonsense centre back. I would be quite happy if that is all we get.
