    Handball - Needs clarification once and for all

    Fair point. To me it was clearly not a handball. (I was a midfielder)

    Terrible Christmas Presents

    Yeah, agree. I remember working at a place and the supervisor was vegetarian. Anyway, someone was leaving and someone had baked a cake. The supervisor was merrily tucking in when in passing another person commented on the cake, saying how nice it was and asking what was in it and when the...

    I just cannot see Willis in at all, Tom. Robins says he has a dead leg. They take days to heal. I would say he is almost certainly out.

    Handball - Needs clarification once and for all

    Yes, I know I is subjective and I know it is the ref's final decision, but if you are getting a manager see it an entirely different way and then the TV pundits back in the studio are agreeing with the manager you can immediately see the problem.

    Thing is, even if Kelly is fit he's not going to be match fit is he?

    Great win + injuries

    Who said about pinning hopes? :) It's just about whether he can do a job for us or not. No-one is expecting him to come in and be Lionel Messi are they?

    The Duck

    That's the key. Have any of us seen Robins tell any other player that they have to stay on the pitch?

    Great win + injuries

    True, but we can't just assume every player of such ilk is going to automatically be a failure can we?

    Great win + injuries

    Yep. He's had some bad games, but then who hasn't out of our squad, but he has also shown some positive stuff too and there's been a couple of games where he has played really well. I think it is wrong to say he has done sod all and I do think we will miss him (well I did, but obviously all now...

    Going to be tough for sure and I don't think we should be envisaging 3 or 4 nil wins. A nice, scrappy 1-0 will do just fine but I am expecting another Forest Green/Crawley defend really deep approach from Chesterfield tomorrow and I think it is going to be very, very tough, unless we can score...

    Handball - Needs clarification once and for all

    Caught a bit of the Man U v Southampton game last night and Mourinho was going mad over a penalty not being given for the ball hitting the hand of a Saints defender in the penalty area. Watched a bit of MOTD last night and both Shearer and Ian Wright were saying it WAS a penalty, but the...

    Carrying an injury, but his wife gave birth to a baby. Think he will probably play tomorrow.

    Wonder what the split was between Sphinx and United supporters?

    Police yesterday

    Is using horses something to do with them being in the dark ages up there and only very recently discovering the wheel?

    Great win + injuries

    Yep. Experienced, knows the club inside out, the manager knows him really well, it is now League Two he will be playing in, so a division down on when he was last here and he does get goals. He also seems deadly keen to come.

    Just worried about the knocks and injuries and AM expecting one or two head-scratching choices tomorrow, such as Maycock for Doyle or suchlike. Thinking it may be very hard for Doyle at his age to be able to play 2 games back to back like that.

    Robins did also say Ponticelli will feature, so fully expect him to be coming off from the bench. Maybe a few youngsters to fill the bench may be in order (Maycock, Finn, Thompson)

    Have to assume we will be missing Kelly Nazon Willis Would expect Kelly to maybe find his way back onto the bench first, so guessing he will still be out and we do need him fully fit. If Nazon hurt his hip I wouldn't expect him to be recovered in time for tomorrow and I think we have to say...
