Aye but he's a United fan so it's objectively very funny

Mine landed this morning. Love the feature across the middle pages, less so the data contained within it!

That's Cornwall gone from League 1. Suppose we were due a folding since it has been at least six months since the last one. All the 'good news' of Goole joining the set up and here we are again with the same stories time after time. Perhaps it is time for Bedford and Attleborough to dust off their application forms again, or maybe they can take the vacated franchise to more new territories... St. Kilda, perhaps?

I would be in a very strong position to be 'Last Rovers fan left alive from their 1994-95 title winning season', were it not for the club subsequently taking decades off me already. Speaking of which, I wonder how many Blackburnians are still around that would have been alive for our FA Cup win in 1928?

Considering its modest size, Chorley is a superb town for drinking in. Puts places three or four times as big to absolute shame. With the exception of the Masons Arms, all within a drunken stagger of each other too! Noting your name, I am also fond of the Red Lion too. Less so that I once accidentally timed one visit with some folk club matinee gig. Preston is also very good for ale. The Black Horse is utterly wonderful, a Desert Island disc of a place.

This has been a wonderful read for someone who was alive at the time but far too young to experience any of it. I have seen all the footage from the match and all the subsequent interviews and documentaries and whatever, but seldom if ever read about it from the fans' point of view. Thanks all.

Crumble!

Different sort of inept. He may show up but has his name painted in the seats on one of the stands and tried to ban unofficial merch being worn inside the ground. Only thing worth reading on Reddit these days. Actual cerebral football fans too.

Their version of Forever Young with Bob Dylan on The Last Waltz is one of my Desert Island discs. Utterly wonderful group.

Last time Queen's Park beat Rangers in the Scottish Cup, crossbars weren't mandatory. Davidson has pedigree in this competition already, he was in charge when St Johnstone did the Cups double in 2020-21. They won both games 1-0 with the same player scoring a header in the 32nd minute. Craig Conway played in the League Cup final but was only on the bench for the Scottish Cup one.

Alias account IMO

Stoke away now Wed 12th March at 2000. My local away day, but had made other plans for that night on the basis that midweeks I am sure were only ever really fiddled for KO times 😑 Mind, it is the modern way and I must accept that the hoards in Tashkent and Windhoek are more invested in Rovers than I.

Not to worry, thanks. Not too bad ordinarily, but when it happens to the likes of the busier threads it can be a trek trying to find where you left off.

Probably not the apporiate forum, but whilst I remember, is it possible, or has it been resolved in v2.0, that when a topic is retitled, it doesn't knock the entire topic to unread when you click on it next?

That's him, thanks. Reading that post from one of the ghosts of marketing past remimded me of the comments but not the commenter!

Who was the lad who said his son was an Arsenal fan and other such things?

Superb finish from Giles

Unless you are one of the nameless bods employed by a football club to sift through Excel, Access and whatever else for 37 hours a week, then you really shoupdn't be using all the jargon that they do. The greatest communicators and finest minds have always been the ones who can turn the exceptionally difficult into something everyone can understand. Now we just have no-mark imbeciles spouting gibberish in a dull attempt to appear intellectually superior to us everymen, who, despite sharing the same interest, will just never understand it like they do.

Corrected now. Only did it to confuse you specifically, honest!

Customary mention of Perugia in the 1978-79 Serie A. Went unbeaten but only won 11, to finish second to Milan who lost 3!

Norwich fans can take heart during their 5am alarms (earlier if they aren't driving themselves) that this is the modern game now and their own club wanted it. I forget the other reasons it's OK.

See Leeds in League 1. Average gate 25,000! I will always say this when this point is made - the most insulting thing you can do to anything you care about is not to have standards for it.

Fair enough, I don't pay them much attention to be fair. Thought he would have had goodwill for what he has achieved there but I suppose the PO final loss last year and not being a mainstay in the top quarter this year has put paid to all that.

Ian Evatt sacked at Bolton. Didn't see that one coming but apparently there has been a touch of discontent of late?

Anyone in the bottom corner of our stand probably could have - I was bang in the middle of that bit and had pretty much a prime view of that and Buckley's attempted rocket into the same corner in the first half. Didn't clock at the time it was because Beck turned his back on it but was very obvious that unless Branigan had the same ability as Roberto Carlos it had taken a deflection.
