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...

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...

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.

Try reading this whole thread!!

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.

Do all his team mates still hate him?

You've jinxed it now :oops:

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 :)

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...

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

Isn't that what every team does?

I note you keep banging on about Crowley's superior end product, yet he has only scored 1 goal in 41 games at this level for Blues.

Yes, fair enough. I'm just slightly wary of the 'Cov lad' being bigged up by his mates scenario. I don't remember ever seeing him play so am relying on second hand reports to be honest. From those reports I have read it seems that while he has undoubted individual ability, he has struggled to...

So why can't he get a game for a very poor Birmingham side?

We should play a strong team in my opinion, although quite happy to not risk anyone carrying a knock that might otherwise play in a League game. Given that winning this tournament is our greatest achievement I do not like to see us disrespect the tournament, even if others do.

From the OP's team I would change Van Aanholt for McCallum, Stephens for Ostigaard and Hamer for Murphy. The latter change would mean a change of system, and also a stronger team.
