    Kettering vs. Portsmouth

    Does seem to be double standards applied but it is difficult to say without knowing the full facts. Both clubs I believe had enough players before administration and an embargo, both owed players wages. Yet Pompey can get emergency signings to fulfill fixtures while Kettering can't and will be...

    Chris Hussey - LM Sensation?

    good to see Hussey getting some positive reactions for a change ..... will do his confidence a lot of good ........ but lets not go overboard ......... it was a brief appearance, with the game won against a tired 2nd division team......... he has to put in decent performances consistently over a...

    mark robins

    I would say that so far he is handling a tough appointment very well He has obviously set out his stall with the players..... you get the impression that they clearly understand the standards he expects. Better still he has convinced the players to buy into it. I dont think he will shirk...

    touching space - nearly

    No doubt it will be shown on the news but this austrian guy is hoping to set a new record for the highest skydive (practically a space dive!) 36.5 km or 23miles. Wearing a space suit he will travel faster than the speed of sound, accelerating to that speed after 40 seconds in temperatures of...

    Owen Coyle sacked by Bolton

    Didnt work out for him but he is a manager that told it as it is and wore his heart on his sleeve http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19869286

    Hoffman/Elliot/Ranson - The Holy Triumvirate - Will they take us over?

    interesting to see the latest news at birmingham ............. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19886283 There are people out there seriously interested in buying football clubs ............ just not ours

    Hoffman/Elliot/Ranson - The Holy Triumvirate - Will they take us over?

    I assume you dont class yourself as a pleb then prince ........ as you have been spouting inside information in the past .......... oh wait none of it happened :facepalm: Not saying they are not doing something but think you are adding two and two to make six in your first paragraph ...

    a reliable source told me...

    energy and performance do not mean a player has to tear arse around a pitch for ninety minutes ......... it means that he uses his head affects the things can and should affect and makes the right decisions. He needs to be a positive in the team, which at present he isnt to any great degree. If...

    Hoffman/Elliot/Ranson - The Holy Triumvirate - Will they take us over?

    other than them stirring the pot and watching a game of football I do not feel there is any substance to them being around and about. Certainly do not feel that they actually offer anything more in a business sense than we presently have. In fact TF & SW have a track record for turning things...

    a reliable source told me...

    on the subject of showing McSheffery more respect........ not sure he deserves more respect than any one else to be honest. He deserves as does everyone a fair assessment of his performance but that has to be based on current performance not past glories. Players are paid well even in League 1...

    a reliable source told me...

    Unless he steps up his energy and performance levels i cannot see MR retaining McSheffery. He has made no real impact this season and I cannot see him fitting in with the high energy disciplined approach that MR will demand. He will be on a decent wage so that wont endear him to the Board given...

    Deegan gets his jaw broken

    Would not wish harm like this on anyone .......... but i would suspect that there are quite a few thinking what goes around comes around after what he reportedly did to Conor Thomas. I think his own assessment of himself is actually some what greater than his actual ability....... bottom line is...

    just a couple of thoughts

    here is another thought ...... we have 36 players..... say they are all fit ......... we need 18 for first team........ the development team needs the other 18 ? if they play on the same day (which they do not seem to)............ but that would in theory include some of the academy U18's say...

    just a couple of thoughts

    Thats one of the points i am making .......... in fact SW said on the radio that it was a team effort between AT TF and SW when players were signed. Have never bought into the fact that it was all down to AT...... if people look at Charlton when SW was there then there are some similarities in...

    just a couple of thoughts

    thought Elliott, Kilbane, Edge, Malaga, Barton, Fleck, Jennings were on permanent contracts all signed by AT, TF, SW........ isnt aimed at MR, he has only been here "5 minutes" so cant reach any judgement about him. Think AT had made significant in roads into building his squad hadnt he ?

    just a couple of thoughts

    Repeatedly we have been assured that there is a sense of direction and a plan at CCFC. That the men in charge know what they are doing ............ thoughts ...... 1) You allow a man to build a squad (whether i think he was good enough or not is not really relevant). You tell all and sundry...

    Robins not afraid to make drastic changes

    totally agree with you....... all those players and we still lack pace and a leader ............ makes me wonder what the hell has been going on

    Robins not afraid to make drastic changes

    The squads for the teams as listed on the BBC website make interesting reading http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/league-one They have split the teams into keepers, defence, midfield, attackers and additional players. These additional players appear to be youth team included in first team...
