    CRFC vs Nottingham

    Hasn't changed then ! Went there a very very long time ago and it was full of partisan supporters of a working class nature. As said above, a proper club with a hostile atmosphere to their opponents

    Thing being thrown at Sunderland

    Some years ago, Norwich completely redeveloped the Barclay End and, despite appeals from the home fans, put the away fans in the upper tier. First league game of the season at Carroe Road was against us. Sorry to say that a large amount of bottles and general detritus was lobbed over the edge...

    Rip Tommy smith

    Trying to think of who it was that begged the ref to send himself off after fouling Tommy Smith. The promised revenge 'tackle', would have been career ending ! Might have been Jimmy Greaves but I'm not sure.

    So it begins....

    Yes. The Bristol fans travelled in a mass of large numbers at roughly the same time and clogged the motorway network around Birmingham at rush hour. Hence thousands arriving late so The WMP decided to delay kick off for obvious safety reasons. I've tried telling that to various Sunderland fans...

    Danny Rose

    David Batty didn't like football but just happened to be rather good at it so made a good living out of it. Not everybody is/was as enthusiastic about playing the game as, for example, Paul Gascoine.

    FA Cup Semi final - gaps at Wembley

    Not Checkatrade finals ?

    Neil Warnock / Cardiff

    MOTD pointed out that Willian, after he took the corner, obstructed the line of vision of the lino. Even so, surely the ref could have seen that offside for himself.

    Ipswich away next year?

    Despite being a closet Canaries follower, I like Port-a-potty Road. Been there a number of times and I reckon it's one of the best grounds outside the Prem.

    Rarely mentioned past players.......

    Bobby Mac ! One of my all time favourites along with Roy Barry.

    But a mere temporary set back....

    Stewards will check all bags

    Went with some friends to the London Stadium last Saturday. Everybody was body swept with electronic paddles.

    Get well soon Gary

    There's always going to be some twat who would have taken offence at McAllister leaving Leeds all those years ago.

    Adam Johnson

    If Adam Johnson got rightly done for having sex with a minor aged 15, how did Bill Wyman get away scot free after having it away with Mandy Smith who was 13 when he started seeing her ?

    Do people really think we are Brummies?

    Thought a batch in Merseyland was a Barm Cake ?

    Oxford v Bradford

    Referee is entitled to change his mind and reverse a decision but this was taking the piss. Methinks the FA will be having words with said officials with demotions to follow.

    Six Nations 2019

    Yes. It's technically possible to get the bonus point in every game but still finish 2nd so just maybe having more points than the grand slam winners. That would be grossly unfair so the extra 3 points was introduced to make sure of the correct finishing table.

    North Ferriby United

    Shit. That's one less team who's ground we can visit when we climb the leagues again starting next season...
