  1. I remember something similar to that in 2013 offering games across the English leagues. For some reason, National League South was especially dodgy in the UK. I would watch Leagues 1 and 2 next season following the introduction of the salary cap.
  2. I remember debates on here in 2011 when many were absolutely certain it was impossible to fix matches. For what it is worth, today and for many seasons now I think Rovers inconsistency and surprise results both good and bad are the product of ineptness combined with squads capable of more than they achieved come season's end and not the product of anything untoward. I have felt the total opposite in the past. I would add in defence of British journalists, the use of UK libel laws contributes enormously to their silence. I can think of six who probably have files at least as thick as Declan Hill. Declan has certain privileges as an academic which commercial journalists don't enjoy but he is also very smart in how and where he is specific. In that video, Hill talks about a pool of $1.6 trillion cash sloshing around. One year GDP of the entire UK economy? $2.8 trillion.
  3. Let's not forget we have lost all gate money when we are doing transfer budget calculations.
  4. Carter looks a very good prospect but he got skinned for pace at Luton
  5. Eastham Bennett Lenihan Williams Bell Evans Davenport Rothwell Dolan Brereton Buckley 2H LINE UP
  6. Pretty normal August day in Blackpool. What's the problem?
  7. Just thought I would contribute a post. We usually need to get to 300 pages before the first signing so I decided to jolly things along a little. Doing my bit for the cause and all that..
  8. Davenport's goal line clearance was brilliant by the way. My four who didn't enhance their chances yesterday: Fisher, Bell, Rothwell, Johnson (for being extra stodgy in an already stodgy middle)
  9. From what I could see, Fleetwood put out their play-off first team and subs for the whole game and were taking it very seriously. Add in the wind, particularly in the first half and that was a game strewn with banana skins especially as we fielded two totally different in the two halves. So a win, let alone a 4-1 romp is an achievement even with all the pre-season caveats. What is encouraging is that probably 19 of the 23 players seriously enhanced their case for inclusion in the first starting XI. What is discouraging is Mowbray will pick the wrong XI, the wrong tactics and the wrong subs...
  10. Did I mishear but I thought today's commentator said Portsmouth.
  11. Eastham and Dolan the pick of the youngsters. Rothwell worryingly poor.
  12. Let's see if our 2nd half line-up can improve on the first half lot. Are Vale and Butterworth both injured?
  13. A fixture list which has bad start written all over it.
  14. Tosin needs a better manager than Mowbray
  15. Stuart was a hero for me. Always a wonderful ball player for whom the term sllky skills was created. Terribly sad to see him gone.
