Very amusing, although Craven District Council hasn’t existed for over 2 years. North Yorkshire Council now!

Botafogo showing they are there by merit. Great to see them giving Athletico a game. Vitinho starts again.

Probably already been mentioned, but if they haven’t paid for Vitinho, how come he is allowed to play?

It all sounds very pro brexit and pro Reform. Signature tune of Knight Templar gives the game away me thinks.

There’s another popular piece that will no doubt be played today that will upset the woke brigade.
Honest Toil.

It’s Whit Friday tomorrow, walks in the morning and the glorious Band Contest in the afternoon.
I will be visiting Uppermill to watch and listen. A fantastic spectacle, an age old tradition that mustn’t be allowed to die.
Any other Clarets going?

Presumably Strasbourg, no compensation, and then a paltry transfer fee to Chelsea if they think he’s good enough.
Chelsea fiddling psr yet again.

In my local last night, and the couple at the next table thought it appropriate to make a couple of video calls to mates, with it all on speaker mode so the whole pub could hear. Soon got told by me to turn it down. But it’s my mate in Australia, was the excuse. Wouldn’t mind but there’s a large bee...

Why did the clown have to keep repeating pitch encroaching notice did he not notice the boos when he did it? Basically because the Club risked a severe fine had the scenes after the Sheffield Utd game been repeated, and they had to be seen to be doing everything they could to prevent it. Like a hug...

It’s unbelievable isn’t it. Could have been fixed months ago, why do they need to wait until after the semi finals?
As you say, fans are at the bottom of the pile in the FAs view.

And that’s why I wasn’t bothered about promotion.
We’ve left the best League for entertainment for this bag of sh1t.

Their role is to help supporters and ensure safety. Also to identify issues, deal with them where they safely can do, and report them to police to deal with if not. They are stewards, not nightclub bouncers. So there wasn’t actually a point in literally hundreds of them lining up round the pitch th...

Because that's not their job.

So what’s the point of the Club paying them to be there then? Seems a little pointless.

Why wasn’t that offside. Played a pass to a player in an offside position. The games lost to the law makers.

RIP. Great bowler in his time.
Never realised he was a Yorkie.

Yet again people posting absolute rubbish on here. Laurent for Hannibal, added physicality, against a physical side, and it’s Ramadan which was bound to affect Hannibal’s performance on a hot day. Accidental handball in the build up to a goal isn’t penalised, unless it is by the goal scorer. Hence F...

Would be better without McCoist commentating.

Claretincraven

Total homer, right from the start when he twice penalised Robert’s for doing nothing wrong.
Two cast iron penalties in ninety seconds.
Penalised Cullen for cleanly winning the ball.
The list could go on.
Utterly useless.

Claretincraven

All this despair.
If the referee had done his job we would have had 2 penalties and likely a 4-1 win.
God your a fickle lot on here.

Not 3pm on a Saturday then, who would have thought it. Can’t remember the last one.

Watching the end of the Liverpool game. God, McCoist is a pain, and Fletcher isn’t a lot better. Just incessant wittering.

Nostalgia.

Looking at the TVs in Dixons window watching the football scores on Ceefax refresh every minute and hoping for a last minute winner.

And before that stood in the same place watching the results come in on the teleprinter. Usually quite a few of us watching.

There really is a huge selection of great ales out there. We were just discussing our younger days, when we started drinking in the mid 70s, the other night. Whitbread Trophy, Stones, Brew Ten, Youngers Tartan, thankfully we also had some Tetley pubs in Skipton as the aforementioned were bloody drea...

At the death they won it with a shot so far off target, and so badly hit, it wouldn’t have even gone out for a throw in. And then the keeper made a complete Horlick on the cross. And a bunch of lemons say that’s a lesson to us in how we should be playing. Give your heads a serious wobble. DL got luc...

They need to get someone who can kick for the next game.

A couple of those weren't that difficult.

Brilliant. Really exciting game, fantastic finish in a game they weren’t expected to win, and in the true tradition of this forum, has to have a moan about something.

Claretincraven

Just a thought, but might the officials have been instructed to allow a blatantly offside goal, when VAR wasnt available and the goal wouldn’t be disallowed, to try convince people that VAR is good and should be retained. It seems totally inconceivable that the AR missed 4 United players in blatantl...

It’s a toss up between the goon that thought last nights crowd was 8,000 and the half wits on here who thought Foster did nothing last night, as to which are the biggest idiots. There’s a complete bell end sat behind me in the JHU upper who berates Foster every time he gets the ball, no matter what ...

18187 given as the attendance but how many actually attended given the swathes of empty seats and a lack of away fans? Around 8000 maybe?

I’ve read some absolute garbage on here recently, but congratulations to you for winning first prize.

Had to turn the commentary off due to the infuriating co commentator who cant shut up and constantly talks over the actual commentary. Shame, it was a good atmosphere.

They was due to be played over the weekend but got postponed and rearranged for tonight

That makes sense now, I thought it was a bit barmy to have three untelevised games on a Tuesday night. Thanks.

Claretincraven

Has anyone any idea why this round of the Cup is still continuing tonight? It seemed logical to assume that the accountants that run the FA had sold theTV rights to some obscure channel, but no, none of the games are on TV. It’s just plain barmy, there seems to be an obsession with playing games at ...

If Chelsea can spend half a billion quid in one season and still not be breaching PSR then the regulations are broken.

What on earth was happening with a var review for a clearly offside “goal “ for Chelsea. Took about 3 minutes, checked every camera angle, even from behind the goal, when it could be seen in 3 seconds from the first camera angle the scorer was offside. Unfortunately I had the tv on mute as the wife ...

Claretincraven

It’s an interesting one isn’t it. Last night there were 2 contentious decisions. A goal that ended up being the game winner that was offside, a foul that probably wasn’t a penalty, but was a red card, that wasn’t given. With VAR both outcomes would have been different. It’s alright saying we need be...

You put your "answer" in with my question, but I will ask again: Could you manage on £24k if you were in the same circumstances as many young jobseekers? About £21,000 after stoppages. Rent of say £800pcm (average around here). £250(ish) a week? That’s up to lifestyle choices. Me, left school, coll...

The clubs are getting considerably more money and it’s a 50% increase on the previous deal.

And yet season ticket prices increased, exponentially for over 65s like myself.

I watched in a pub without commentary - can anyone shed light on what happened when Roberts went up for a header and was clearly fouled only for the referee to restart play with a drop ball on the halfway line? I was totally baffled but maybe missed something? I was just the same, in a pub with com...

Sounds like the farmer needs locking up.

a) you are a scrote.
b) you are the parent of a scrote.
c) both apply.

Ridiculous length of time to treat an injury. No reason why he couldn’t have got up and walked five yards to leave the pitch. Oh look he’s down again.

How come Trossard played for Arsenal today, scoring a couple of goals, whe he was sent off last Sunday? I know they played in the League Cup in mid week, presumably that's when he served his suspension. So he didn't actually miss a League game.

Relegation confirmed for Lancashire, and not long after promotion confirmed for Yorkshire.
Wasn't too happy after watching the Oxford game this afternoon, but my steak and red wine will taste an awful lot sweeter this evening now.
