"The reaction from Manchester was superb however."

Indeed.

Sadly, I can't see any logic in keeping him.

Four years since 23 people, mainly young died at a concert, with 800 others injured.

I'm posting this to remember them. Please do not make any political comments.

Hello everyone,

Thank you Rileybobs, Herts and everybody else. I really appreciate you replying to my question. It provides food for thought and a debate. For me that is one of the reasons for a forum like this to exist. I will look again at the goals with everybody's comments in mind.

ecc

I'm not looking for an argument (there are enough people doing that already) but I would genuinely like to read opinions on what exactly Norris did wrong or what he should have done for each goal.

I ask because there ARE people on here who know far more than me about goalkeeping.

ecc

I don't know why but I was convinced a certain person would be involved in an argument on here. Virtually all of that person's contributions involve bickering.

ecc

I'm sorry but I'm not up to speed about why the club doesn't want them any longer.

ecc

Really pleased for Matt.

I don't think you'll find too many people in the game who speak badly of him.

Good luck, Matt.

Hello Tony and superdimitri, "Really pleased he’s got himself into the first team squad there. He’s a Burnley fan from a family of Burnley fans too." I thought that was the case but get easily confused with other young players. It must indeed be horrendous for lads in that situation. Who knows, if w...

ecc

Fair play to the lad. IMO any success he has is positive for us in that he spent 13 years at Burnley.

Respect, respect, respect.

"Jude Bellingham was sold for an initial fee of £25 million and I don't think he'd even signed a full professional contract at Birmingham, yet people value McNeil at a lower price " Bellingham played a full season aged 16 and was too young to sign a professional contract.

There are some people on here who make me think of Alex Ferguson's quote concerning Dennis Wise.

We've still got a long way to go to have one or two ready for the PL.

Palace on the beach again.

ecc

One of our all-time greats.

I'm sure he was delighted to see Cheltenham promoted with MD at the helm and Wade involved.

ecc

Knew a lad from Ormskirk (no, not Tony Morley) back in the day who had studied in Grimsby. Whilst a peaceful sort of lad I think he could handle himself if need be. But he told me there were a number of public houses near the docks in which "you just didn't think about going".

ecc

A have a friend who is a life-long Cheltenham fan so we often talk about MD, and more recently, Wade. Absolutely delighted for Michael who has done an amazing job. According to the local paper the club had the 17th lowest budget in League Two this season. All been said before about Duffo, but an "ol...

"Waddle had opened the scoring with a terrific header in the first half."

That clearly knocked out any sense in he might have had upstairs.

ecc

Was that ESL Tottenham?

ecc

"Hat trick on ANZAC day."

Now that IS symbolic. I'm sure it meant even more to Chris and his family.

Lest we forget the sacrifices the Australians and New Zealanders made for us and the rest of the world.

ecc

Only seen the CP highlights but our Kiwi was involved in everything. Delighted for him, delighted for the lads.

ecc

Great result. They had a strong team out today. We can be proud of our lads.

ecc

"Until we're mathematically safe, no way."

Fully agree.

And I think the club will want us to finish as high as possible.

That said, I think most of us would like to see Lewis Richardson given, say, 10 or dare I say, 15 minutes in some games.

ecc

Sorry but isn't this the most important aspect of this story. "I thought it would be a good thing to help the club if I won the bid and if someone else outbid me then that would be more money for them. "I still follow them on social media and keep an eye on the results. They played an important part...

I would be delightfully surprised if Wolves managed to avoid defeat tonight.

A man who has been part of all of our lives regardless of one's views.

I think the idea of this tournament is great. It's true we have a large U18 squad and whilst those in charge look to push through the most promising second-year lads - and sometimes first-year ones - into the U23 squad there are some first year scholars who don't get as much game time as they or the...

ecc

Thank you, Leisure. Was just going to mention Will Couch.

Will is, I believe the grandson of Silkyskills1's brother.

The young lad Joe Bauress (U15) seems to be pushing on well.

ecc

Was up in Burnley the day we signed him again. We also got Graham Branch at the same time. Saw their first game against Walsall. Whilst we paid too much for SD it was very much a statement of intent by Mr Kilby.

Happy Birthday, mel. One of the "Great Survivors" as in you were, I believe, on CM when I discovered it back in 2004 (oh dear where have those years gone?).

Take care,

From a few weeks back. ‘I felt a little lost’ – Cheltenham Town coach Wade Elliott opens up about leaving Bristol City, working under Michael Duff, and hopes for the rest of the season March 13, 2021DossonJComment(0) It’s fair to say that Wade Elliott has seen a lot in football. From being released ...

I wish the lad all the good luck possible.

Very difficult for me to be objective but I thought Dwight did well today. The stats will show he set up Jones for the second goal. He did well to hold the ball up back to goal and lay it off for the scorer. He also hit the post with a free kick. He was actually given the ball a fair amount of times...

"Players do not ask to be injured. Football is a contact sport and getting injured is an occupational hazard.

Dwight's on.

Dwight not starting and I can't be bothered to watch. Just watched Croatia beat Switzerland 3-2. The Swiss were the better team - and I say that as somebody who likes Croatian football - and should have been out of sight by HT. But the Swiss keeper made a right cock-up kicking the ball straight to I...

Nothing against Ross personally.

David Jones was first class and one of SD's best signings (and there have been quite a few of them).

"To be fair, it'd be deserved. In fact anyone scoring 8 in 10 in the Waddle season probably deserves a knighthood in all honesty."

Make that an MBE for all Burnley fans who "experienced" Waddle's management skills.

Only just seen this thread and didn't realise he had died. He was the antithesis of a Revie Robot just like Stan Bowles and company. I recall seeing him playing for Bolton at The Dell aka "The English Hampden" where he also showed his wily side, skilfully helping the ball on with his arm to set hims...

Johan Cruyff said this some years ago (he said three minutes but his point is the same whether it's two or three IMO): “It is statistically proven that players actually have the ball for three minutes on average. So, the most important thing is: what do you do during those 87 minutes when you do not...

Thinking of Bruce it's true but, as a general rule, do people think it's too late to turn situations around?

ecc

Game over.

ecc

Thank you.

ecc

How many over-aged players can we use in a match, Tony?

ecc

Good news.

I find it odd that we only have one keeper in the U18 squad.

ecc

I've looked on YT but can't find any film of it but I recall one match in particular at Molineux where he was booming missiles in from ridiculous distances. I don't think he scored that day - but stand to be corrected - but the keeper (Parkes?) was out of it.
