He wasn't punching earlier in the season and was flapping. Seems like Oggy has been working with him on that. He's dropped a few easy catches this season, so nice to see him punching the ball away and looking a lot more assured as a result.

Pete, are you drunk? You started two player ratings threads.

Already a thread isn't there? If not I posted on a phantom ghost thread about 25 mins ago..

I was next door to the colliery. It was National Smokeless Fuels, but still part of British Coal. I left there in 2000.

We could have easily been awarded a foul for their first goal. It was a bit 50/50, but at one point Stead was wrestling Grimmer. They could have had a player sent off too. We by far and away were the better side tonight.

Come on leaps and bounds this season. Not a first choice, but I think he coukc do okay at L1 level, from the bench anyway and he and McNulty did have a very good understanding tonight.

That he's French?

Ha!!! I have an entire carriage to myself. And this time Intend going too.

1 in, 1 out. Changed my name to 'Otis the Cautious.' Also, 'Otis the Broke' too mind.

You would never catch me acting so recklessly. Booked to arrive at 12.27 and train back at 6.20ish. Covered for extra time and pens.

Been asking him to do that all season. So glad he finally opened all my letters.

What, the shiny bald head?

Nope. Should be 10 tickets per season ticket holder.

I was so confident about tonight that I went and bought my train tickets to London yesterday.

For Grendel

I think Grendel now has to come out and say he was wrong on this one. I'm sure Grendel said he wasn't good enough for League Two and should be playing non league. He looked anything but a non league player tonight. He carries on like this I think Biamou could do a decent job in League One too.

Burge - 9. Thought he was magnificent tonight. Really commanding and a combination of some great saves and punches clear. Grimmer - 7.5. Could have perhaps done better for their goal, but grew into the game as it wore on and finished very strongly. Hyam - 8.5. Hardly put a foot wrong Willis -...

I think some have revisited it and come to the conclusion that it had to be deliberate. For me it is the looking down before he did it that gives away the intention.

Hasn't it now been accepted by just about everyone that it was deliberate? I do still have an issue with 'stamp' though. He definitely made sure he trod down on his leg, but it wasn't a stamp. That's in no way excusing it. Had I seen it in the night I would have said he deserved a red card...

Yeah, I used to work for British Coal at Keresley and they all said 'snap.' Some words just don't seem to be about anymore. My missus the other day asked what a 'sarnie' was and said that she had never heard the word before. Have to confess, I can't remember the last time I heard it either.
