Ange deserves more time but the Chairman is a complete nut job so anything is possible

If the chairman wasn’t a nut job then Ange wouldn’t be there in the first place

GP had a fab pub next to it……….old world type of place…….

It once had a pub on all four corners of the ground but at least one of them had closed down when they moved to the new place. I think it was my first visit in 1980/81 when we visited all four.

Yeah always enjoyed going to Griffin park. The new ground is really soulless, walking round all the apartment blocks to get to the away end. Griffin Park was a dump but a dump with character. I wouldn’t know where to start describing the new ground but it’s not good and it really is strange, unable...

That must be in Yorkshire..no?......Just based on the pride taken in the platform.

I mentioned it further up the thread, it’s Todmorden.

It’s been another shocking incident today in Manchester and my thoughts go out to those who have been affected by it.

Is this a “build it and they will come” type of situation? Stadium looks lovely, if not a little soulless, but modern at least. Where are the people? Growing up I always heard of how hearing the crowd and playing in front of thousands of people was what gave players that drive, passion and commitme...

I saw a tweet from a Sheffield Wednesday fan on this subject. “It’s no secret that I hated danny röhl but at least he never twatted me in the face with a **** volley.”

ClaretTony

FWIW I find Daz pretty measured and able to take off the Claret tinted specs. Seems logical to be concerned whether we can score enough goals to stay up. One of the worst seasons we had for scoring goals was the season we got to Europe and one of the best was the Kompany season. Our hopes in this l...

1st October being sent, which is today, it's on the article linked at the top of the thread.

ClaretTony

Would be interesting to compare with this stage 2 years ago. From gut feel I think we are considerably better placed. It will only really start to be indicative when we've played a few more of our "winnable" games. By the time we've played West Ham on 8th Nov if the scores are in the same ball park...

Great headline. and good result.

Couldn't resist the headline and yes, a good result although not a good game.

ClaretTony

Sadly, it wasn't for the dissent afterwards because he went straight to his pocket when the Everton players foot landed on his opponents foot, even though this is a common thing in a 50/50 challenge. The issue of the card led to the dissent and understandably so because Dewsbury-Hall will be suspen...

Six of Barrow's side were on the bench for their First Team on Saturday

They only have a first team squad I believe so in these games they always play a strong side with a few trialists thrown in.

Foster got sent off v Forest 2 seasons ago, for the exact same elbow that Mykolenko just got a yellow for

Yet Paqueta would have you believe it was in his face. So similar to Foster’s red card.

Just me that think this seems a strange appointment? The week after the Hannibal hearing that he was involved in he’s refereeing us?! Doesn’t sit right with me that.

He wasn’t actually involved in it other than being the person Hannibal reported it to.

It’s not held over from last season. It’s this season’s competition. Free to attend according to the club this morning but that’s now changed.

I asked if the team was still going. He said there’s about six of them but the rest just did it for TV. He told me he was dying to say he was from Burnley but they wouldn’t let him because of the context - ‘That’s TV for you!’ was his comment!

good that some of them are still playing

Just spotted Pressley in Burnham Gate McDonald’s and had a chat with him. Just like he was on the programme - such a likeable lad.

Is he still playing cricket?

Only from the telly but the booking Walker for Foden standing on his foot, while stretching and injuring him is as bad a decision you will see.

I’ve seen the Walker card again and it is Foden standing on him. And then I watched the fiasco again when he waved him back onto the pitch.

Earlier today I saw a rumour somewhere online that if Man Utd sack Amorim they may look at Potter to take over.

You’d get good odds on that.

Yes but if one ticket is sent out twice and two people have it then one is not going to get in.

Ref gives pen against Pope
Debate on if red for Pope

VAR asked ref to review as think Pope made contact with ball and decision is no foul no pen

All I could think of was the penalty given against Pope by Rob Jones at Leeds when he’d played the ball. Penalty confirmed that day.
