Lots of what I call "Schrödinger's Hockey Fans" around; ones that want a competitive and financially sustainable league where anyone can beat anyone else on any given night, but simultaneously the big-budget teams had better win everything otherwise that's evidence of declining standards, woe is me ...

At the end of the game, with both ours and Nottingham's results present the EIHL site definitely had us in 3rd for a while, then it changed to 4th. You'd assume their stats system is already coded with the various tie-breaker rules, so this is odd. PT also became quite antagonistic towards the fanba...

They are not taking the piss out of Thompson, he wasn't the one claiming that, it was his buddy Simms who said that, putting a lot of pressure on PT which he probably could have done without. Simms is the target of those comments. It's always used in the context of being disparaging towards PT thou...

Those on here who enjoy taking the piss out of Paul Thomson with the endlessly hilarious "best coach in the world" jibes may wish to note that his team finished in 2nd, comfortably two places ahead of us (unless the EIHL website changes it's mind again and puts us back in 3rd) despite presumably a m...

No, fair point. I know contracts in this league are almost worthless.... They are worth the same as a contract with any UK employer. Greener signing a 3-year deal just means that he's here for 3 years, at a salary/conditions that both parties have agreed at the outset, with the provision for either...

Far from being "dead rubber" given they not only dictate playoff opponents but also any run of form into the playoffs - we're all happy preparing for the playoffs with four losses on the bounce are we? Thought not. I for one would be happier with a 2nd place finish than a 4th. I agree however that t...

Geography also plays a part. I do think they get an easier run in to challenge cup. Also they do play a lot of double header games for logistical reasons and whilst some are split results many are not. That has cost us dearly both in Belfast and at home this season. Belfast also usually tend to pla...

If Carter had some great ideas surely he would be whispering them to Foxy on the bench. If he doesn't you would be replacing like for like.There is no evidence that anyone on that bench has a Plan B. I very much doubt that coaching is as simple and reductive as you’re implying here , or we’d all be...

Does anyone think Carter BW is a viable head coach, or is he more of a video specialist? And/or would he follow Fox if Fox left?

Looking at it from another viewpoint; what is it that Belfast and Keefe do so well? I can't believe they have a much bigger budget, but in the last 7 years they've been the default trophy winning team, why? I don't know btw, but I'd love to be enlightened. I do like Belfast's style of play better t...
