Half time. Not bad at all.

[Goldie.7]

Half-time great first 45.

[ciggiesnbeer]

Poor from Clark. No need for that

He would have been sent off if it weren't a friendly

Agreed. He should have been apologising to the player instead of arguing with the ref. Bad sign to see him do that.

[Toronto Villa]

Just getting off a plane boys. How we doing?

[Goldie.7]

Their goal and Clark awful (red card) tackle have been the only let downs in a really positive first half display.

Class.

evening all. Completely missed first half. How we doing?

[Steve R]

A much improved performance by Jack. Easily his best this pre-season. I thought he was going to keep a clean sheet until he started banging on about golf clubs.

[warleyboy]

I take it, Vlaar and clarke ?

Dissapointed that we have let one in again, but sounds like we are playing well.
About to show goals on spn

[supertom]

Excellent so far. Some great football played...AND no clean sheet of course.

[dekko]

I've spent most of the last year defending Clark to people, but that lad needs to sort his bloody head out.

[fredm]

Really beginning to think that the reason we concede so many as per this evening is because our reactions aren't quick enough.  There was time when he brought the ball down and it ran away from him slightly for anyone with sharp reactions to get a foot in but he had all the time in the world to get his foot behind it and slam it home.
Then we go up the other end and the ball falls in their area and Clark (and others) are not quick enough reacting and the ball is cleared resulting in Clark making a red card challenge in a normal match

[sirlordbaltimore]

Some nice stuff there, especially Ahmadi. Defence still looks a bit suspect at times though. Probably as both full backs push up too much for my liking

For Toronto and CJ, we are winning 4-1

[CJ]

Ta muchly. Clean sheet was too much to hope for - was theirs from a cornalty?
