Nigel Miller was never letting us win that game. He allowed a ridiculous handball by Bradley Johnson to stand in the first half (only to be overruled by the assistant referee, who was neither blind, stupid, biased, nor bald), managed to miss a clear penalty when Martin brought Vaughan down when clean through and shooting, let Cameron Jerome get away with everything, and then there was the stoppage time.

Five minutes were indicated, which was probably a minute too much to start with. There weren't any injuries in injury time. When James Vaughan scored, there were FOUR SECONDS left of the five added on. Allowing for the original Vaughan booking taking 20 seconds, the referee was obliged to blow 24 seconds after kick off.

With Vaughan picking up a second yellow for taking his shirt off, we had Wallace ready to come on. He was stripped and ready, but the referee did not let us make the substitution. More than a minute into the additional 24 seconds, they won a free-kick. Miller again refused to let us make the substitution - under the laws of the game, this is something he is not entitled to do. If there is a stoppage in play, and a substitute is ready, he is obliged to allow it. He doesn't have an option. He refused to let us make the sub.

A few seconds later, he had checked his watch and had his whistle in his mouth. We cleared it. At that point, we were about 90 seconds beyond what should have been given, for no actual reason. They attacked again, and I can only assume that he carried on because he saw a potential goalscoring chance. A mis-hit shot rebounded to theirs three yards out and he scored. The ref promptly booked him for over-celebration (when he didn't take his shirt off - again showing Miller to be an absolute cunt with a penchant for not letting other people enjoy themselves if he can help it). As soon as we kicked off again, he blew the whistle. Nine minutes of stoppage time. The only proper stoppage was our goal, and you can't add the amount of time we took celebrating because the fucking clock had effectively stopped. We all know how it works, so why didn't the ref? The clock had been stopped for a minute, but in terms of time to play there was a matter of a few seconds, not the convenient two minutes he found.

I'm doubly gutted because we deserved to win. We outfought a very good side and showed the desire and heart missing against Rotherham. We created good chances and took two with quality finishes. The first goal we conceded was Carroll's fault for not just getting it wellied, and the second... Fine, we could have defended it better, but we shouldn't have been in that position.

Five minutes. Five. Plays nine. Gives them a goal. Unbelievable. Every time he's here he does something. Every fucking time.

Not read this thread for a good few months. Come back and it's the same old story, Terrier moaning about referees

Final game for me ended in a disappointing draw to bottom side Cardiff. Looking at the league table, it's still very close up there and I am very happy with my transfer business over January.

One final signing before the window shuts. We beat Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Chelsea to sign this guy. One for the future but hopefully he can be class for us. Our new signings do seem to push Kelly out of the club, but I'll leave that down to you guys. He's never really done it for me though.

Millar is absolutely class. Lads, we have to utilise him at every opportunity. At only 20 years old, he will become on of the best strikers on the game in my opinion. Bruma got 2 assists and MOTM on his debut too.

Yes, it is quite a big fee for a player who is 29 years old but he is an absolute beast. Look at the impact Schurrle has had for us since he joined and I'm hoping Bruma can have the same kind of impact. It's harsh on Schurrle as he has been brilliant for us but I couldn't so no to this guy.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Mfs9pxaCYULDthaq01u6FCLdnx5G9gxmdGNcn0Ac.png

Another Spanish youngster has joined us on loan until the end of the season. Kelly has been pretty poor for me so this guy could be good back up for Millar who is on top form at the moment. All the players I have brought in have been purely to add depth and are not really starters.

If Luke Shaw is to get injured we will have to play The Mort at left back and we don't really want him moving from centre mid. This guy is pretty crap and we just need to hope Shaw doesn't get injured so he's been brought in purely as back up.

Only signed him last season and took a big loss on him. We bought him for £6.25 million so took a £5 million or loss. He had only featured twice for us this season and was on £99k a week, our highest paid player so I decided to let him go.

Might be the wrong decision but after attempting to price out Manchester United for Rui Rei, they actually agreed.

I have REJECTED the offer though. Yes, £46 million is crazy money but he's a class act and one of my favourite players so I don't want him to leave.

This one is a transfer that I did with a heavy heart. Cancelo was one of my favourite players in this side and had been a key player for us for many seasons. However, he wasn't registered in our EPL squad this season and was constantly moaning about wanting first team football.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/mz2qRs8KdmkF8f0MNaWg7W6vroQJ3yJOUVi0j2Nl.png

It's weird nobody wanted him apart from a League One side, he's much better than that. Yes, we didn't get a fee but another moaning player off the books is pleasing.

Good to Beganovic come second. I know Cymro bought him a few years back and he was touted as a star for the future at CB. Since we have a lot of good centre back's I retrained him to DM and he has been my starting player in there for me since I took over my stint.

Good to see Rui Rei finding his scoring boots in the league. Millar and Kelly came back from injury around the same time and I decided to go with Millar. I pushed Rui Rei out onto the wing where he seems to do well for me and it worked wonders. Nice little revenge for our Capital One Cup loss too.
