    New sponsor needed for next season?

    I had the impression that this is a decision made within football and not a Government instruction (apologies if that's wrong). Although they often makes a balls up of dealing with social issues, football does like to be seen to be seen as influential in such matters, if you look at the likes of...

    Match Thread Birmingham City away

    I wonder how hard Birmingham will try to beat the snow given their poor recent form.

    Points to survive

    While I agree O'Hare will be the top end of our pay scale I very much doubt he is on as much as 10k a week, which just seems like someone's guess to me.

    Points to survive

    That 55 season was out of the ordinary - Peterborough were really unlucky to go down with 54 points. In only one other season has over 50 points been required to stay up in the last 10 years, and the majority of the time averaging a point a game (46 points) would see you safe. Looking at the...

    The shot from 40 yards was brilliantly instinctive and could easily have caught out a lesser keeper than Westwood, as no keeper would have been expecting a shot from there, and could have easily been caught out of position. He did similar earlier in the season when he took a punt from the half...

    New sponsor needed for next season?

    This issue provides a real conundrum and doesn't really lend itself to a short comment on a message board. People that gamble and are addicted to it will gamble regardless of whether football teams have a betting company on their shirt, so I don't think this step will make the slightest impact...

    Pics from the last game at Highfield Rd

    It was a memorable day but by this time we didn't own HR. It was sold in 1999 from when CCFC rented the ground back, and who eventually ended up effectively repaying all the money they had made from the sale back to the new owners, who therefore got a great deal. There were rumours of...

    Transfer Rumour Quentin Bena

    He was far from awful for us. In fact if we hadn't sold him when we did I very much doubt we would have been relegated from the Championship in the first place. That said he's not mobile enough to play to our current system so I wouldn't look to sign him now.

    Didn’t Dion score.....

    The laws you have pointed to are open to an interpretation which you have taken in regards to 'circumventing the back pass rule' and 'respecting the game', and then applying it to Dublin's goal, which other refs may or may not agree with. The circumstances of the Dion goal do not 'clearly' apply...

    Hyam had a nightmare and was at fault in some way for all 3 goals.

    6 at home - one away coming up!

    Not convinced home advantage has the same impact in BCD games. Philosoraptor has probably got an unintelligible graph which might or might not tell us if it does :)

    Richard Keogh

    Keogh was a very good player for us who also gave his all. He went onto have a very successful career at Derby, before he was effectively hung out to dry when they were happy to move him on, and used the drink driving incident as a reason to justify not paying up his contract. The other players...

    Most famous 'One Trick Pony'?

    That was something he picked up from playing with Denis Wise. Very useful tactic if your own forwards are alive to it.

    Maybe before your time but Ian Wallace was pretty good on overhead kicks

    Think he's training with Bournemouth so imagine he would sign for them if he impresses them enough
