    Sweden v Belgium shootings

    The problem isnt the religion, it is the way that men ( and it is almost exclusively men) interpret and twist things in a way that was never part of any religion’s philosophy. As far as I aware most world religions would have a creed of kindness, tolerance and respect for others. It’s people...

    Top 100 Cov players of all time

    I think you would struggle to justify anyone who hadn't played in the top league. We were there for 34 years so the players of that period should be the best we have had. Having said this, I do think the standard of football now is better than it was and so some of the top flight players we have...

    Match Thread Hull (A) Friday 15th September

    It wasn’t an easy chance. Firstly the timing of his run, secondly being able to hit a travelling ball first time with power and accuracy, both show his ability. The chap sat behind me who had been slating him throughout the game was sat on his hands when Godden scored. His dislike for the player...

    Middlesbrough Tickets

    I think it will price many people out of going. The Championship may be a great league and we play lovely, exciting football, but at that cost you would need to have a well paid job to attend more than on the odd special occasion, particularly with a family.

    Our Pitch

    There were 16 blokes on the pitch replacing divots at half time. Leicester subs had to wait until they shifted into our half before they had room to warm up.

    Championship Predictions

    Didn’t know that and my comments about them were based on our two games against them and the comments I heard from the Swansea supporters around us at the away game (we were in their hospitality area). I said to my son after we had gone 3-0 up in the home game that surely their manager was...

    Championship Predictions

    I know he gets his teams to play possession football, but I would hate us to play the way that Russel Martin had Swansea playing. It was very dull for the most part. Keeping the ball but very rarely threatening the opposition goal also killed the atmosphere (admittedly this is going off the one...

    Match Thread Exeter City (a) 29th July

    I watched yesterday’s game via You Tube but I have been at the other three friendlies. I thought yesterday’s performance by Simms was about on a par with the first three games. He is obviously a very different type of centre forward to Viktor and unfortunately, initially won’t compare...

    Same total as me but I have to confess I was still in my bed when you were setting off to work!

    New Stoppage time

    I was surprised it is stated so blatantly that the correct time wasn’t added on before. It states in the article above that ‘a nominal amount of time’ would be added. It’s no wonder teams deliberately wasted time when quite clearly the referee was doing very little about it.

    Wimbledon sold out on day 1

    As has been mentioned though, not too many away games sold out last season. I’m lucky, I’m retired and can afford the time and the money to attend games such as Wigan, Preston and Blackburn away last season. I have a son living in Stockport who comes with me to these games iso that is an added...

    Trevor Francis

    Tommy Hutchison played with Trevor at Man City in the early 80s. He told me that Francis was perhaps the best player he ever played with. (some praise considering the calibre of his team mates, Dalglish and Law to name but two). He saw passes and moves that no one else saw were on. Tommy felt...

    Supporters forum - 5pm Thursday 20th July

    It would be good if the club through Boddy or the safety officer actually came out and gave the whole rationale for the limiting of capacity at that end of the ground. It does seem at the moment a bit piecemeal. If people can see the whole picture and the good reasons why decisions are made, the...
