    Fifty years ago today

    I remember one game where Clements played on the wing, he had his shirt almost completely ripped off his back by a defender. He played the rest of the game like that with his shirt trailing behind him like some super hero's cape.

    Yes there were some rough pubs about then. I remember the spitoon in the Elastic Inn. I think I fell in it more than once. Think I was banned from there.

    I seem to remember beating WBA 4-2 several times around then.

    Clements was quite a versatile and underrated player. I also seem to remember Coop and Cattlin getting forward a lot, almost wingback style. Martin did drop to a more midfield role on odd occasions, and Carr had a spell as a striker when he scored a hattrick in his first game in that roll. I was...

    Seems to include the playoffs as well. That's good isn't it? Assuming it can happen.

    First ever CCFC memories ?

    I can't actually remember my first game but it was in 1966. I got interested following the world cup. I wasn't working so couldn't afford to go but I remember someone told me that they opened the gates at half time and you could just walk in, which is what I did.

    I'm assuming that if a Sunday figure is low, then the Monday figure will to some extent be higher than it should be as there will be a spill over. But the media are saying we are doubling every 3 days, I just can't see that. Even taking today's figures being double last Tuesday's that is a much...

    786 is almost certain to be an outlier given yesterday's total of 439, and taking into account warnings that weekend figures are likely to be under stated. We will see in the next couple of days but at the moment if you add today and yesterday's numbers together and divide by 2 you get 612 /...

    Careful, people might read something different than was meant into that comment. I agree though, Boris does have a sense of humour that is not always appropriate to circumstances.

    I haven't heard it said, but Operation last gasp, I would take to mean in the context of ventilator supply, they are meant to provide air & oxygen to the lungs, no more need to gasp for air. Why do people analyse every little thing Boris says and read the worst possible meaning into it?

    He's nearly 70 now so I don't think he will be any good. (Icke, not Marosi)

    David Icke Again

    Claiming amongst other things that any coronavirus vaccine will include a microchip so that the government can control people, according to BBC news. I used to watch him play for the reserves, I thought he was not a bad keeper. Pity he didn't concentrated more of his efforts on his career.

    CCFC puts players and staff on Furlough

    My understanding of the statement was that no player would lose out, I thought that meant that players would receive 80% of their pay up to £2500 and the difference would be covered by the club. Maybe I'm wrong but I thought this is what was meant.
