Don't think you can compare an instance from nearly 50 years ago to the feelings on the weekend of a cup final many of us think we should have been playing in. There's also a difference between bitterness and hurt. The bitterness will wane with time, but I suspect the hurt will linger until we...

Not what I was getting at! Big teams against big teams is pretty much 50/50, but the big teams against the others is definitely not. The Rashford example was made more with comparison to the difference in how it was treated to the Wright disallowed goal.

Even if you're lines are correct, how does the decision to disallow fall in line with the Rashford 'marginal' goal mentioned earlier in the thread? While I don't believe there is overt corruption in the process, there is a definite unconscious bias displayed towards the big teams in marginal VAR...

They've done exactly the same the last few seasons, with many posters on here envious of their signings, only for them to flop once the season comes round. I guess by law of averages they have to get it right sooner or later!

When Burnley came down last time there were plenty on here predicting they would struggle and that Kompany's lack of Championship experience would be a problem for them.

I would like us to sign McCallum, but if we do we have to be sure of offloading Bidwell or Dasilva. Perhaps the club feel they can't commit to the signing at this time in case we can't get rid, and end up having an imbalanced squad at the start of next season including 3 left backs.

I also met Davenport, but to me he seemed a decent, unassuming lad. I presume he was on the lash when you met him, so perhaps didn't hold his booze very well!

Surely the simplest solution is to raise adult season tickets in that zone to those of adults in other areas of the ground, so that they have nothing to gain from purchasing a season ticket for a non attending child. If adult season ticket holders in the FZ were paying the same as in other...

They were a bottom 4 side before Ainsworth!

I'm amazed at there being no increase, particularly for adults in the Family Zone, as on the face of it an increase would have been more justifiable than often has been the case recently. I guess it might be because of some of the blow back the club got on fixture changes last season, although...

I presume Jim McInally did too!

The records show that Thorn actually did ok when he first took over from Bothroyd when he steadied the ship to the end of the 2010/11 season. That background made it easier for SISU to then make him permanent manager, without too much dissent from our support, who at the time were pretty fed up...

You have clearly erased Hillsner & Kastaneer from your memory bank!

Andy Blair got a winners medal the year after leaving us.

On a free he looks like a good squad signing for someone.

If so it might be best if it is behind closed doors :eek:

You're surely either bullshitting or your source is winding you up? Playing them there would be a recipe for disaster, attracting a load of numbskulls from each side, which would then keep this stupid rivalry even more alive than present. Can't see either club being interested in such a game...

Trouble with Dasilva is that he was brought into play as a wing back and not a full back, and his defensive deficiencies are too easily exposed when he plays in a back 4. Unless we return to play with wing backs instead of full backs I just can't see him fitting in next season. From what I've...

One of our biggest problems this season was the number of times we conceded the first goal. Don't know the exact numbers but I'm sure we conceded first more times than we scored first, which for a top half team really shouldn't be the case.

Not having a cup run doesn't mean that we automatically then challenge for promotion, you just can't pick and choose like that, although I have agreed with MR's policy of not taking the League Cup too seriously as that has become irrelevant. The FA Cup is different though, and having produced...
