Re: Ex Players

We are very good with letting some obvious talent either go, let contracts be run down, or turn excellent quality players into absolute rubbish.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Eastleigh (a)

You have to start by giving Eastleigh credit. They're a well organised team with a decent striker - we can't complain about the result. It's another embarrassment that will worsen our confidence and the mood in the dressing room. I assume that Selles is a dead man walking now and it's just a case o...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I can't see how much worse it could be a than in the bottom 2 of League 1 and losing to an injury time goal from a non league side on ITV1 on a Sunday afternoon... Don't get me wrong, I want better times, but given MB is pretty much in charge of all things football, I don't get how he gets absolved...

Thank God Bowen is here. Imagine where we'd be with the Kia recruitment model and lack of leadership.

Milton Road end at the Dell https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BQIQ9fkCYAAF_fF.jpg Have to LOL at that elevated terrace - would could possibly go wrong there? Brilliant ground that.

Re: Refereeing

If anything i think its getting worse from own experience. With so many junior leagues now setup, tagged with "academy" brandng, coaches think they are the next Klopp, and a win at all stakes mentality is forming, which is passing through kids and parents. It's definitely getting worse. W...

Re: Champions League, Europa League & Europa Conference League 23/24

My solution to the handball rule is as follows.

Any handball in the penalty box by a defending player when trajectory of ball is goal bound = penalty

Any other deliberate handball deemed by referee = penalty

Deflections off party parts to hand like last night = no penalty.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Carlisle United (h)

Dreadful first 20 minutes and then the game settled down somewhat. Delighted for Azeez, been saying for quite some time there is a player in there, and he has been having a decent season, just an end product, but assists and now a goal i am hoping he can push on. Been critical of Wing in recent week...

Re: Refereeing

An under 12's game was abandoned at HT yesterday after the level of abuse that had been given to the 15 year old referee by one of the managers, former Wolves midfielder Karl Henry Sounds very familiar, has he got previous form for this or was there another ex-player a few years back that did the s...

Re: Refereeing

The levels of abuse match officials get is at an all time high. Starts from the top and filters down. Arteta, De Zerbi etc.. all need to take a long hard look at their behaviour its quite a simple fix at grassroots level - but for whatever reason leagues wont tackle it although over the weekend i h...

Re: Ex Players

Checked recently and think he’s barely played for Genoa this year and wasn’t a roaring success last year We did very well to get the deal we did for him if figures are to be believed Think the money is in installments so hopefully be a little stream of income for a few years To be fair, he has star...

WestYorksRoyal This is an important week. We'll either see journos reporting exclusivity, or that nothing is moving and Dai is staying for the foreseeable future.

Stranded Allocation of 800 confirmed and the usual complaints about Royalty Points already starting.


800 is paltry. Not surprising though. Most fans who want to go will miss out


Not long ago they were playing in the Wessex League. A park pitch with a barrier around it and now adding stands!!

Interesting quote from it on bbc website ‘I know what I would change, but that’s not up to me, I am not the manager. I am just a number’ Bit of a weird thing to say. Wonder what he would change… Apart from his views on manager, i took from the interview that he believes too many young players are i...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Shrewsbury Town (a)

Ah, the great reset, how we need that. New grounds, competitive squad, close football matches, attendances to stay the same and perhaps improve.....

Re: Selles out

How the fcuk did Dai become a billionaire? All his decisions are woeful. Failing to fund the club properly this season could ultimately cost him up to £20m or so. Buying up air raid shelters and turning then into shopping malls. Conveniently he didn't have to pay tax on the shelters. No wonder he d...
