I'm no fan of Eakin but the point he was trying to make was that most people, before we knew the circumstances of the game, would have taken a point at SU. I agree with him on that point.
Yes, but not if I knew we were guarenteed to be playing 10 men for 70+ mins and/or be 2-0 up after 47 mins. That's why you can't just ignore the
circumstances of the game. Do you still have an issue with my post?

It's hypothetical.How is that beforehand?
Don't know what is worse, that hour of my life I'll never get back or the latest Telegraph 'article' http://t.co/nH8wvtH0Pm
Getting the opinions of people that matter...

It's hypothetical.
A draw 11 v 11 would be a decent result. A draw in the 'circumstances' that actually took place' meant it was a poor result.

Jesus, some on here would argue about the colour of shite. Its a simple question; would you have taken a point BEFORE the game. I would.
Solely based on the result it was a 'good' point. I think the manner in which we succumbed to the
draw removed any positives we could take from the result.

The simple answer is yes.
Would you respond to the notion that at 2-0 we then completely imploded and had no tactical nouse whatsoever to combat a 10 man onslaught ?
Eakin doesn't mention any of this. He thought we looked very impressive. He also conveniently forgets to mention that Sheffield played almost the whole game with 10 men,

Its an irrelevant point, the reality is that the draw was a disaster.
Clive thinks the win ratio comment was strange because its a stat and dependent on circumstance.
Not if the manager obtains the similar 'stats' at each club he fire to Clive. God I can't stand this bloke
Yeah, he also said that if we ignore the circumstances of the game, that was a good result....

If all speculation, theory and retrospection is irrelevant, we might as well close down SBT now. Nick?
How is that beforehand?
Surely the show is about the supporters' point of view. Clive Eakin is entitled to his opinion but he took it upon himself to keep pushing it. He is not the most important aspect of the show, but that's how it came across.
Super as usual!!!!!
Fair enough, but you can't look back and ignore the red card and 2-0 lead.
Would we have been happy with a 2-1 loss at Scunthorpe before Reda's sending off? No, but the fact we played most of the game with 10 made defeat almost inevitable. Relegation zone Burnley managed to pull out a late equaliser away at runaway league leaders Chelsea, and chelsea had only been down to 10 men for 20 mins.
11v11 before it kicked off yes 2-2 is a good result, but we played against 10 men for 70+ mins and were 2-0 up.

I acknowledge all of that but... Surely we have all heard of the 'would you have taken a point before the
game' question? Fans have been asking each other this question since the football league began. The whole point of the question is that it winds back to before the circumstances of the game. The whole fucking point! Yet all of a sudden that fundamental point seems to be beyond everyone on this thread.
Please see above. What the fuck is wrong with you people?
Samo I did not listen to the radio show. So maybe there is something I missed.
However that question. You are talking about is normally
" in normal circumstances a point away to Sheff Utd would regarded as a great result however ........"
No one ever says "you would have took a point before hand so when you consider the full facts of the match afterwards you can't really moan "
Samo sorry son on this one you need
Oh Christ on a bike! I repeat; would you or would you not have taken a point before the game? No buts, no ifs. Its a simple question and there seems to be some kind of communal retardation going on tonight, but please... Yes or no?

There was more to that photo that you need to appreciate
Point away to sheff utd in current circumstances good result
Point away to them when you have an extra man for 80 minutes -a tad embarrassing
Not ifs no buts just the facts of life. If you are defending for or against SP's sacking on the basis of this result you cannot in any way or form ignore the circumstances of the result.
If you do that our next manager will be
Ronny Delia
Woooooosh!
