Very easy game to referee

Non-competitive games usually are the easiest to referee

Ct is spot on another dreadful performance. Unfortunately there's not a lot we can do now till January,in the summer I was absolutely dumbfounded how we kept signing wide attacking players compared to what we signed to bolster the defence.it was without doubt an horrendous summer recruitment policy...

Monday 4th May 1987 after losing 1-0 at Crewe. I had never before nor will ever feel as low as that. Same for me. Nothing else comes remotely close to the drive home from Gresty Rd. Very few words were said in the car as the reality sank in that we were on the edge of the precipice and the ground b...

If it’s the same one I’m thinking of it was a dismal nil nil draw! In fact there were many dismal 90 mins stood on that open end at Stockport! 1985/6 season. Poured down on a Friday night so a few of us went in the stand. Got into a bit of bother with some Stockport lads at half time and were kicke...

One person not mentioned on here was my old friend Brian Lucas. I'm not sure anyone who travelled to away games back in the 1960s, 70s and 80s didn't know him. I could write a book about his antics over the years but one story prior to me knowing him cost him his job. He wanted to go to the Fairs C...

Paying their respects to a life long fan, chairman and director who was unable to attend matches at the club he loved due to threats from those same fans? They do not deserve such a decent man. Two faced hypocrits.

The words legend and great are used all too easily. In this case they are an understatement. One of, if not the greatest player this country has produced. RIP Sir Bobby.

Liam's band singing Noel's songs then.

At least he's performing as LG and not Oasis. One of my biggest gripes is bands continuing to trade on the name when massive changes are made to the line up. For example Big Country without Stuart Adamson, New Order without Hook etc. The biggest culprits by far though are UB40 without Ali Campbell ...

Bill Oddie was a lovely chap and a good boss to work for. I think his daughter, Laura(?) is now in charge. One of our regular posters who I first met when working at Oddies nearly 40 years ago will be able to provide more info. I know the bakery manager was a department manager when I started there ...

Isn’t a sad cake just a chorley cake?

Sad cake is thinner with the currants showing through. Chorley cake thicker with the currants in the middle as a filling.
Eccles cake made with flaky/puff pastry, the other 2 shortcrust.

You can also use a card & phone I think

Only if they are linked to separate cards Tony. I have a debit card and it is also on my phone, but i couldnt use my phone for me and card for another traveller.

Seems i got my years muddled, i was definitely at the game where IWWW scored. Interesting reading the goings on around town on Tony's review - my ex wife's cousin was the one involved in the biting and headbutting incidents!

Herts Clarets

Although a debit/credit card can only be used for one passenger’s travel, I think you can use multiple cards from one account. i.e. if you have a joint bank or credit card account or are an authorised user alongside the account holder, you can each use your own card to pay for travel from the one a...

People in England & the US tend to drive too fast & too close to each other. The difference in France & Ireland is startling, people tend to keep a safe distance & are generally considerate of others on the road....bikes, cars, Horses or people.

We murdered Notts County but couldn't get the second goal that would kill them off. Typically, they had one chance and equalised. Enter Ian Wright and have to say that is a hell of a through ball from Davis to find IWWW.

Hasn’t Bernie been fined something like £600m? That, alongside legal fees, reputational damage etc is probably a fairly hefty punishment for him… He hasn't been fined, he has paid what was due had he not been dishonest in the first place. A bit like being caught stealing from your local supermarket...

Was your acquaintance able to stump up the circa 900k? If not, i guess that would have been the difference between suspended and not. No he wasn't, he had gambled away all the money he claimed as i stated originally. So the message here is you can defraud HMRC out of any amount you like and as long...

Yesterday, billionaire Bernie Eccleston was found guilty of defrauding HMRC by failing to disclose a trust fund based in Singapore to the tune of £400m. He was found guilty and agreed to repay some £653m to HMRC. He was sentenced to 17 months in prison, suspended for two years. So bascially he has s...

Anyone caught this series? It is about Jimmy Savile and how he managed to hide in plain sight and commit hundreds of sickening sexual offences against young and vulnerable people.

I remember Kevin young and another geordie lad (Cav) from when they were in digs in Padiham. They used to play football with us on the fields which is now printers fold.

Norman Jones on the pitch with a fork before the game. Had there not been such a big crowd there is no way that game would have gone ahead. That game all but secured us the 3rd Div Championship, Carlisle needed to win by a hatful the following evening to deny us.

The concerning question for me is which players would we sell to bridge the financial gap? Trafford - far from convinced by him and certainly nowhere near my expectations considering how highly rated he was at City. Beyer - possibly, certainly the pick of our centre backs so far Al Dakhil - an error...

There must be plenty of cases of a player scoring at both ends. But this game featuring Burnley must be a rarity, with 2 players scoring at both ends for Spurs. I had never seen this before.

Poor throughout, particularly when twice in the space of a minute he got in the way of passes. Could and should have booked one of theirs early in the game for a foul on I think Amdouni after he turned him but let it go and then awarded yellow cards for lesser offences.

If we could shoot straight we could have been out of sight by half time. Luton drew us into playing to their strength, not allowing us to play out from the back and forcing us to go long, straight down the throat of their Haarlem Globetrotter style players. Taylor was great defensively but stifled a...

Trafford 5 set the scene in the first 5 seconds, smashing a clearance into the Luton forward.

The best thing about being into small venues like The Trade's Club, Manc Deaf Institute and Brudenell in Leeds, is that you can still see bands for under £30.00.

I loved the way he took on that dirty effer Hunter. R.I.P. Franny. Hunter is the only one to land a punch in that exchange. Franny swings and misses a number of times.

The central midfield pairing of Cullen and Brownhill just doesn't work for me. They don't have the athleticism, physical presence or pace to trouble the opposition or to disrupt the opposition when out of possession. We saw it on Saturday and was absolutely highlighted when we played Spurs and up ag...

You see, I can’t recall many, if any folk saying he’s a bad manager. A tactically limited manager who did a good job with us but had ran his course yes, bad, no.
