Yep, Kirkland, Westwood, Murphy all crap and didn't improve a bit whilst at the club. When it comes to RCC and Burge I'd look at the raw material that the coach has to work with rather than necessarily criticise Oggy. Either way I'd settle for an average experienced keeper rather than a kid...

I do like the Old Cathedral, and will usually pop for a look in if I'm wandering around town (which isn't very often). Personally, I wouldn't pay to go in the new one though. The Guildhall is very impressive if you get a chance to have a look in there, as is Holy Trinity (the one by the...

Respect to anyone who does it, I get enough exercise chasing my first touch around the pitch every now and then. Doing a half-marathon requires training and discipline, so clearly no good for me. Saying that, when I was younger, I used to run three miles a day without fail. But by the end of...

If enough people ridiculed them, it probably would. But then football's a funny old game and I think there's still some who see some sort of reflected glory in having the hardest 'crew' or dumbest yobs, depending on your standpoint.

English my arse, if you can only go back to 1066 you could be one of those Norman buggers who came over here taking our jobs and our women (they were good plumbers, mind). If you can't trace your roots back to at least Stonehenge then it's back to the continent for you matey. :)

I know SBS was only joking. What kind of numpty would lob anything into a random crowd which will undoubtedly include women and children just there to enjoy a day out. Anyone with a genuine need to express how hard they are should step into the ring with someone of broadly equal size and...

You're just dodging the question and you know it. The fact is that there's never been a council that's threatened to make its home town club play behind closed doors in anything like these circumstances. You're trying to justify something exceptional by ducking and diving around. The point...

Here's the question. When did a council ever threaten to do this to a club previously because of a pitch invasion? Answer that one and stop whining about people not listening. We're listening fine, but you're not answering. Now's your chance.... waiting....

What, our owners, poor business acumen? Why that's an outrage - in just a few moments the thousands of SISU apologists who populate this forum will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger. Or something like that. :) Enjoy the game, as I'm sure you will.

You don't have to nod in synchro*, you might just want to try answering the question though without endless whataboutery... Otherwise it looks like you don't really have an answer but aren't quite up to admitting it. The link you sent has nothing at all to do with pitch invasions - it's about...

What voids most of your comments is that you still haven't answered the question. Other clubs have suffered similar and worse issues, when did a Council ever step in to threaten them with playing behind closed doors? "Never" is the answer, quite obviously. You just can't bring yourself to...

Not by their council, that was the FA. Took about three seconds to find that out: Blackpool fined £50,000 for Huddersfield pitch invasion Any other examples you'd care to share of where a council took this very unusual step? Despite the multiple protests at Blackpool by the fans against...

So again, show me a single council who have ever threatened to have their local football team play behind closed doors? You're clearly trying to defend this, I wonder why?

If you've been a part of this squad at any point in this season, I don't think you could have any great complaint if you found yourself looking for a new club over the summer. Having said that, it's not the worst theory I've heard - making sure that everyone gets a go before the summer. The...

Except of course that fans haven't been throwing flares at each other at CCFC matches*, so where's the safety issue that has led to the council to threaten to close down the ground? Indeed, where's the example of another council that have behaved in this way towards to their local football...

Trust me, dot counting beats watching the football. :) Sincere thanks for the updates... and the cheerfulness. Really looking forward to the big day.

Indeed - I wouldn't advocate it, but it feels very unlikely that the Council would take the same approach. I hugely dislike the idea of invading the pitch to protest, but suggesting that the pitch invasion against Sheffield and the one after the semi-final were in any related is farcical...

Like what I said, but clearer and to the point. :)

I think it's usually a condition of entry that you allow yourself to be searched on entering a football ground. In essence, it's part of the contract when you buy your ticket. However, as I understand it a steward must ask your permission before conducting a search, must be of the same sex as...

To be honest it's this kind of crap that puts me off more than the football. The endless pettiness of the stewards really grates on me - when you've got 7,600 going who really cares where you sit or what turnstile you enter through. I don't know if the stewards are being told to enforce all...
