    Rahic is an idiot for even going over to talk to Collins and Drury like that during the game. Doesn't even matter what was said, the fact he is seen to be doing it is plain stupid. Totally undermines the manager and gives a field day for an already rabid social media. Quite why he didn't wait to do it behind the scenes is bewildering.

    Do we even know at what point in the match the photo was taken ? Were we playing, was it as they sat down at the start/ half time ? All relevant.

    It was half-time the players hadn't come back out yet. I guess they were still in the dressing room with Abbott?

    Living overseas, I watched the game on ifollow. The camera
    I watched it on ifollow and that was my interpretation as well - I couldn't understand why Collins wasn't in the dressing room when the players were still in there. Also Mellor's kit was brought to him to change into in the dug-out. I suspect he wasn't in the dressing room either and hence missed all the half time instructions, tactics discussion etc. It was also noticeable that when their goalkeeper went down with time wasting cramp in the second half all the players came across for a drink/instructions from both sides. Our three coaches all remained seated in the dug-out (unlike the Southend party). The drinks were given out by the kitman I believe and it appeared that no guidance or instruction was given to our boys. It struck me as so odd.....

    Bang on, I watched it on i-follow too and me my mates noticed practically all you've mentioned. We also came to the same conclusion, very odd.

    I suspect Abbott was practising for his next role as head coach.

    Just come in; the transcript from Saturday's conversation:

    Edin: I wish to register a complaint about this football team that I purchased not 45 days ago.

    Micky: Oh yes, the, uh, the Claret & Amber...What's wrong with it?

    Edin: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. Its dead, that's what's wrong with it!

    Micky: No, no, its uh,...its resting.

    Edin: Look, matey, I know a dead football team when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.

    Micky: Nononono, no, no! Its resting!

    Edin: Its passed on! This team is no more! It has ceased to be! 'Its expired and gone to meet it's maker! 'Its a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! Its metabolic processes are now 'istory! Its kicked the bucket, Its shuffled off it's mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! YOU ARE FAST BECOMING AN EX-HEAD COACH!!

    Judging by their body language, they weren't expecting him to come over. Both craning over their shoulders as if startled and interuppted. I suspect he's talking at them rather than to them, as they are both looking attentive as if suprised by a direct comment at them.
    Body language from Edin is certainly someone who is trying to be in control and is issuing a command rather than a statement of good luck.
    As mentioned, needs to be put into context with timing, situation of the game etc.
    I don't think anything can be read into it, apart from the two below are looking a little startled, and the one up top is trying to be the enforcer. BUT we all know that anyway :)
