Yes I saw that one

Found an article about his business it reads as though he went straight into that from City ..no other clubs?

James O'Connor

Brothers Kevin and Danny both had good careers in the League of Ireland. Kevin also played for Wolves and Stockport.

Probably not, workforce maybe being used to close main road to Worsthorne for past couple of months.

I see the Lindsay Park speed bump hasn't improved over the past few weeks

... first visit in about six weeks very briefly yesterday

No ... based upon his hair alone ... no

Barrie Wardrobe played first team football at Hartlepool on loan from Sunderland ...Mick"s brother from memory ... might need to check that ? I saw him play for Gateshead a couple of times

Willie Irvine and brother Bobby of Stoke City

ralphdpomeroy

Yes I remember the Stockport game ..made my first visit to Palmerston Park the following day .... those were the days when lower petrol prices and admission charges made such weekends possible

Northampton game would have been March 17th ..very apt for Mr Caughey

Gallagher and Hampton had played First Division football

One injured and one past it but both considerably quicker than Darren Heesom ....

ralphdpomeroy

Caughey didn’t score for us but had one really good game playing on the right against Northampton He did indeed ... I think it was a night match and on reflection my memory was of him lashing a shot against the bar ..he was that bad the shock must have thrown my memory for a moment 😂 we won 2-1 pro...

The one thing that might change the vote is when the current bottom three - particularly the squealing Villa & Bournemouth - realise they will go down if it doesn’t restart. Yes very true if I was in charge of a bottom three club surely you'd want to take your chance on the pitch...Any other method...

That bottom six only need one club to support them and the league won’t get re-started.

Indeed and at the moment I think that might just happen ... vote later in the week not tomorrow ?

ralphdpomeroy

I second that motion,easy to implement too,6 down = top 6 in the Champ up.This might well lead to a rapid change in tune from the bleating bottom 6,like many others i'm growing tired of their constant excuses to not restart the season.And effectively attempting to hold the remaining 14 clubs to ran...

Alan Taylor is a Pallbearer now

Yes he ran a newsagents for years down in Norfolk nice bloke he lived near us during his Clarets days

ralphdpomeroy

Mark Caughey though ...awful... the slowest striker I've ever seen then he suddenly scored a goal ..I almost passed out in surprise ...

He had a good record in the Irish League came on loan from Hibs I think where he hadn't done much ?....what a let down he was

Robert Regis, 1 goal.

We had Derrick Parker, cant remember did he get injured

I can't remember but we missed Alsn Taylor ..Parker scored 6 all season in 28 ... injured or dropped ? I cant recall

ralphdpomeroy

Yes true....we missed Kevin Hird and Alan Taylor's goals badly ...Taylor didn't want to leave .

ralphdpomeroy

Devaney ? He wasn't as good as Phil Murphy in truth and Phil Murphy wasn't great ...

Clearly done very well for himself since ...

The ground was less full than for the two Blackpool games in 90-1 and 91-2 and definitely not as packed as the Wrexham game..17600 seemed like 35000 after we'd been playing to @2000 most weeks. I used to stand on the longside roughly in line with the Bee Hole 18 yard line and for most of that season...

Thats exactly the attitude Ludwig Boltzmann faced and look how history judged his ideas

Never trust an Austrian though ..especially one born in the 19th century

ralphdpomeroy

Not sure where the short termism is either fella ...

Clearly by you maybe but not clearly by the wider world.

Three up three down and a Champion or void the lot and expunge the results.

August 1982- May 1990 was a dreadful period in our history save for the Cup runs in 82-3 and going to Wembley in 1988. The Orient game was surreal I honestly don't remember that much of it now probably because I spent most of the game looking at my watch . I remember thinking if the 15k or so who su...

At this rate we'll be the only league not to re-start since La Liga has now been given the go-ahead

Good because any notion of sporting integrity has long gone .... five subs is ridiculous

My Mum's Dad would be hanging his ARP helmet up for the last time, and no doubt enjoying a puff on his pipe. My Dad, his sister and my Gran, would be remembering my Granddad, L/cpl 2585547 Royal Signals, died in the Coventry bombings in July 1943. My Gran was 35 at the time, and passed away in 1993...

Excellent read ... over the years I've quite often got to know things about the club just by living in certain parts of town where you would meet players and their families ...these days I'm even closer to the dressing room but I don't ask much and expect to be told even less 😂 Whatever we might thi...

Yes true that they have a different image abroad

ralphdpomeroy

Interesting stuff. In my honest opinion: if they are not making it into the first team squad by 20 they never will. I don't know the players, but that's pretty much how it goes. The Alex Elder thing was interesting. Of course the reserves in his day were what we now call squad members who spend so ...
