Yes, I read that over my first cup of tea. As you say, some similarities, but they don’t appear to have utilised tennis balls in the way we did. I had no idea they were the third biggest club in Germany, even now in the second tier.
Nice to see Tom McIntyre chatting with supporters outside the ground after the game. Did anyone else notice the handshake joke that Mbengue and Abrefa played on a Blackpool player as he was about to get to his feet? One of them put his hand out as if to help him up, the other reached out and shook h...
I’d certainly go if he came to Crawley’s Hawth Theatre. Always fascinating to hear controversial figures look back over their lives - saw John Lydon a couple of years ago and in a relaxed environment, he was totally different from his expected persona.

Did anyone else catch Dave Kitson on BBCRB last night. I only heard some of it and I doubt he’s actually ITK, but he seemed very dubious about the takeover and whether it’s going to happen. Like several others from the 106 squad, though, he seemed to have a genuine affection for the club.
For VAR to be truly accepted, the PL need to start treating their customers - supporters in the ground - as adults, which means showing why a decision has been made. The VAR officials need to remember they are looking for clear and obvious errors which means being able to spot it by looking at the v...
Indeed, maffff. That’s why FFP was introduced, because the big clubs were scared shitless that they would be overtaken by smaller clubs with bigger spending power. To some extent it’s started to happen anyway in England, with Chelsea and Man C both having won the Champions League. Politics have brou...
Yes, but one would hope that it was an experience from which he will have learned, thus making him more capable of weeding out the shysters, fraudsters and charlatans.
