You fans with your phone lights

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the reason for doing this?

It's not just us by the way. Some of the Carlisle fans were doing it as well, and it usually happens in the 2nd half

I thought the 2nd half was better than the first (from both sides), so I didn't think it was due to being un-entertained by the game

Yep, we were a bit wasteful in the 1st half and scored from a mistake, but the conditions were poor tbf.

It wasn't a scintillating display as we've seen in a few games when at our best.

I don't think we really got going tbh but we did plenty to win the game and fully deserved to.

I really don't think that. We were dominant from the off in terrible conditions, and constantly recycled possession, utterly running the midfield. Yes, we could and should have scored a few more, particularly in the first half, but we were creating chances through good play.
I agree with you we fully deserved to win.
 
I’d rather some kids shining lights on their phones than listen to Neanderthals shouting ‘go fooking forwards’ every time we had the ball. Some folk who watch us really have no idea about how to play football.

Honestly if I’d taken my childs swear jar this afternoon I’d have enough for the next 15 Christmas’s.

To be fair, the usual suspects round us didn't shout for it today, probably because they could see we were running the game, and creating chances.

A bloke a couple of rows behind me said ‘I guarantee the ball will be back with our keeper in 30 seconds, we will do nothing with that Scouse c*** running this team’. About 29 seconds later Rhodes made it 2-0 to wrap up the result.

Also shouting 'SHOOT' when there's really no chance of getting a shot off. Anyone who's played the game can tell when a shot is on, or not on.

We know what our top level display us and that wasnt it, but the conditions were poor. We did enough and were the dominant team bit it wasn't a scintillating display.

A routine win.

Lol.

Maybe we can use this light show to our advantage when the opposition are attacking.

Yep a bit like when the crowd holds a match ball ready for such a moment to throw it on the pitch and stop a dangerous attack.

The same could happen with phone lights.

A coordinated strike when an opposition player is about to shoot, causing temporary blindess, could be our last line of defence.

We could also have multiple streakers ready too.

I'll pass this onto the SLO.

Just on a side point, my Mrs once said to me, who is this SLO guy but said as in 'slow'.
 
I’m that shit at tech savvy, I know somewhere on my phone there’s a light but I’ll be fooked if I know how to turn it on 🥴

Apparently not good enough because we should be hoofing the ball forward and giving away possession more often. Much like Carlisle did today, who lost 3-0.

To be be fair we are passing long, but Jake is winning more than his fair share of headers. Sometimes the wing backs are not high enough up to help him.

Yeah the flares, vapes and coins we throw at opposition players proves that.

Biggest load of bollocks ever that. We have never been happy clappy. We're so happy clappy we're regularly fined by the FA for crowd disorder at home games, threats of stand closure and all that jazz 😅

Fully grown men getting their nickers in a twist over kids putting the torch on their phone on for a laugh. I'm sure they were all staunch, battle hardened football hooligans at 12 who would have never engaged in such frivolities..

We did. Gabriel went to right back. Pennington moved to right sided cente half, along side Connolly and Jimmy H went to left back. Quite easy to see.

I saw the formation stay the same
Grimshaw
Pennington Connolly Husband
Gabriel Morgan Dougall Lyons
Hamilton Rhodes Joseph

Then Norburn and Dale straight swaps in injury time
