No, to put it simply from the start of this season if a challenge to win the ball in the penalty area was a "genuine attempt to play the ball" in the opinion of the referee, a penalty is awarded and a caution. Whereas last season it would be a double whammy i.e. penalty and red card.

If we are happy to place our trust in Burge as our number 1 he will not take us forward. I've stood by that statement for the last 3 seasons. Please feel free to shoot me down with this come the end of the season.

They would indeed! Think you got the idea though ref weather and it doesn't have a massive bearing on walk up etc. Traditionaly, Boxing Day/New years day is the best attendance at football and is when the weather is probably the worst/coldest aswell.

Been watching too much match of the day I'm afraid and listening to the pundits. There is no such thing as "last man" which is a term banded about every week. The definition is "denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity" of which there could be 5 or 7 men in the vicinity.

You mean like many others where we have been, including Sordell last season who openly admitted that it was Coventry City or stacking shelves at Tesco?

Is he? Maybe at this level.

Wasn't the weather the same everywhere?

And there would be some truth in that! Think the chickens are now coming home to roost with the walk up prices and the gates that will reflect that. Think lots of people said that the attendances would be 6-7000 on average. Think we will be lucky to get 6000 Tuesday.

Jeez! How the hell do these players managed to blag contract renewals with the likes of us? Probably now at his real level.

Mmmm, maybe that's his level.

Fair enough. I will praise (quite rightly) or criticise whoever is on the pitch if they are not up to the job. Doesn't matter what age they are/where they are from,what their hairstyles like or what boots they wear.

No they didn't! Stop putting words in my mouth. Wilson and Turner are 2 of our academy players who deserve credit, added to our team and have gone on to better things. Now lets not pretend that Haynes,Clark,Cameron,Bigi,C Thomas et al would/have/did add to the team the same as the 2 you have...

Why do people keep hiding behind this "academy shield" all the time? From those who you listed, only Christie and G Thomas (half a season) are worth a mention . Ponticelli we hope will be a goalscorer but dont know yet.The rest are duffers and should rightly be criticised if not up to the job or...

One of,if not,the best in the business. Only Martin Tyler can rival him. Guess we can look forward to Jonathan Pearce a bit more now then.

No what I meant was all were successful as managers and had success before arriving here-hence the pattern.:emoji_thumbsup:

Today is Thursday.

Slade,Reid,Adams and even Dowie had success before arriving here. Mmmmmm, there's a pattern emerging.

I always thought Black was overrated. He had Joachim fit for the first time in his Ccfc career who made the team tick and was above everyone else. Bit like Clark and Wilson papering over the cracks for Pressley.

Yes I remember that. I also remember Burge telling fans to f-off at 3 or 4 games also. Works both ways I guess.

Yes! Good shout that about the motors section. Forgot about that one.
