There is a difference between Campbell and other United players "goading" Wednesday fans in a celebration and Wednesday fans throwing things. I don't actually think United's players did anything this time. Not like Brewster last season who I personally think DID incite the crowd. Again, no excuse for anyone to throw anything. All I saw this time was a bit of a reaction from their players when things were thrown. On the fine, were we not already on a final warning for this kind of stuff?

Wembley of the North no more
TomtheOwl95 replied to HarrowbyOwl's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
Very much doubt we will have done. It is a bit of a surprise that lot aren't on the list. -
We may be on our arse but at least we're not Blades
TomtheOwl95 replied to Pablo Bonvin's topic in General Football Chat
As ever, the narrative is being shifted by the thick. I don't think any sensible Wednesday fan is saying United shouldn't celebrate the win. Personally I'd say the picture on the pitch and getting the selfie sticks out is a bit much. Last season it kind of made sense because, at that point they looked odds on for automatic promotion. This was a routine win while sitting 3rd bottom, 6 months on from being 15 minutes away from the Premier League. Id want a little bit more. Winning at Hillsborough is by far the easiest task for Championship football teams this season. They will look a tad silly if they lose to Portsmouth. They'll not go down. But there isn't going to be this 2nd half of the season surge some think there will be. -
Yeah, I wouldn't want to keep around a player who is proven at that level, very rarely injured, can play in multiple positions, popular in the dressing room, has the respect of the players and staff, doesn't moan, has the best interest of the club at heart and would probably not be asking for stupid money. Yeah, can't be having any of those kinds of players around, eh.

Well, considering we haven't won at home on a Saturday at 3PM since April 2024, I think that's a good suggestion, to be honest.

We've both won 2. We beat Derby on New Year's Day and Middlesbrough on Easter Monday.

Played a big part in the miracle as well.

Video- MORE PROBLEMS FOR CHALOBAH
TomtheOwl95 replied to punkyhorrors's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
Chalobah is a good footballer. We've seen it in short spells. However, availability is often the best ability. No player wants to be injured. It's just a sad fact of the game and like others have said, if you're in that sort of market, you have to take gambles on players. It's not worked out, sadly. -
Bannan's or Forestieri's
TomtheOwl95 replied to Owl In Black's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
If we're going on their individual strikes (I mean goals, not that kind of strike) v Norwich then it's Forestieri. If we're asking who has the better collection of goals overall then it's Bannan. Obviously Baz has the advantage of having been here a lot longer. -
Have you ever doubted a new signing from day 1?
TomtheOwl95 replied to WimJunk's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
Always try to give a player a fair chance. Two I got wrong were Rob Jones and David Stockdale. Hadn't though Jones was that good having seen him at Scunthorpe but was very good for us. Stockdale, didn't really rate him before he signed but grew to like him a lot and think he was massively important in the dressing room in 22/23. -

Thickest fanbase around. The ammount of them unable to grasp that he's put the club and ground into admin makes me wonder how they go about their day-to-day lives.
-
…all those blades, Barnsley and Rotherham fans who are still coming to terms with the loss of their former leader. Even the idea of Wednesday finding an owner who might have their head(s) screwed on has sent them into a meltdown. Hilarious.

and then lost the game after as well. He's a full weight to55er. -
Forestieri and Flint on DC exit.
TomtheOwl95 replied to SheffWed's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
I'll never forget Flint's face when DC emerged from the tunnel before the penalty shootout against Peterborough. If ever anything said, 'What the f*ck is he doing here?' It was that moment. Thankfully whatever his brief words of wisdom were didn't put any of the takers off. -
"Knee injury" An ACL is a pretty significant injury. You don't just come back after a few months and it's all fine. Strange thread.
-
Really interesting watch. Interesting to hear Barry speak about it all and some other things. I don't think we'll ever see anything like that Peterborough 2nd leg ever again. An amazing night.
-
Always quite liked the Chupa Chups logo, personally. Think it looks best on that white shirt than the home ones.

Feels harsh, this thread. Fusire in any other season would be out on loan. I think he's done OK, personally. McNeil is an odd one. He's looked OK in some games and not great in others. Decision making is an issue. Again, would probably be out on loan if things were different. Ugbo is an odd one. It just hasn't worked out. Still feel he needs a run of starts. The loss of a lot of our wide players and best crossers from the last 18 months doesn't help. All in all though, we're just not a good enough side. It feels harsh to lay too much blame at any of the players.
-
It's one of those things. It's unfortunate for their player, but ultimately nobody did anything wrong. It's one of those things in football where you're annoyed, but there really isn't anyone to blame. Players played to the whistle; the referee stuck to the rules. If it was the other way round, I might bemoan our luck, but I don't think I'd be angry about it.

I just don't see the point of any of this
TomtheOwl95 replied to @owlstalk's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
Agree. Everything feels pointless at the moment. Heard Saturday's game described as a "big game" the other day and I just thought, is it? It feels like a pointless exercise at the moment (protest aside). It's not Henrick's fault, it's not the players' fault, it's not the fans fault. It's all the clueless idiot at the top. -
Chansiri's name won't be on the shirt in FM15. Unless you've downloaded a 15/16 kit pack?

TomtheOwl95 replied to Pablo Bonvin's topic in General Football Chat
Personally think it makes United's board look really weak. It was an odd decision to swap Wilder for Selles anyway. Annoyingly I think it will have the desired effect. -
Anyone who plays FM will have experienced this in the game. For me it's no better than what we have now. Like the OP says, possibly doesn't effect us but even so, not a fan.

What's your favourite memory.
TomtheOwl95 replied to Mr Grey Man's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
Everything from kick off V Peterborough in the 2n leg through to walking away from the Civic Reception. Wonderful.
