    Linesman beten to death by players during match

    You know exactly what I mean. You can have a story headline 'Teenage girl gang raped' and then you can have a headline 'Teenage girl gang-raped by asylum seekers.' Exactly the same story but embellished and therefore making more of a story out of it for sensationalistic reasons.

    Linesman beten to death by players during match

    I heard it on BBC Breakfast first. They deffo said that a linesman had died after being beaten to death by young players. understand what you are saying though and fully agree. Embellished to make more of a story out of it.

    Linesman beten to death by players during match

    He was beaten and died from his injuries. Isn't that him being beaten to death? :thinking about: BBC reported it exactly the same way. If it had just been The Sun I would have given it a bit more scrutiny.

    Agree. All comes back to us not sacking Thorn in the Summer and then dithering and letting Richard Shaw fook everything up. Am convinced that had Robins been the manager from day one this season we would be much, much further up the table.

    If you're a good team at the right end of the table such as Sheff Utd or Franchise FC then it can mean good times. No use wallowing in mid table mediocrity though. We need to be in that first lot.

    The unbelievable fools

    Which is what i alluded to on another thread. Why don't CCFC just pay what they see as a figure they would like to find agreement on and argue over the rest, rather than just not pay anything at all? They can debate and argue over the rent but still at least pay part of it can't they?

    Me neither. When I saw we drew Burton in the JPT and Morecambe in the FA Cup I had to look at the league table to see if they were in the same league as us or not.

    Changed my outlook too. To be truthful, first two weeks of the season I kept going on to the BBC Championship tables to see where we were, before realising I was looking at the wrong league. Now I don't even look at the Championship results. No idea who's top and who's bottom.

    Linesman beten to death by players during match

    Just seems to be a bit of a trend, arguing and jostling officials. Have no idea where they have got that from. i mean, it's not as if professional players do that is it! :( Need to go to the officiating of the likes of Rugby and American Football where you don't answer back and the referee is...

    Was for me at the start of the season. For many other City fans too. Very hard to get used to a fixture that is Colchester way or Bury at home. Very much embarrassing I would say. We need to get used to it though.

    Jpt

    40,000 the previous season when Carlisle won it and the season before that, there were over 70,000 there for the Southampton final. Anyone who says City fans won't be interested in a trip to Wembley for the JPT final is completely deluded.

    Chesterfield v Swindon, final last year at Wembley ...... 50,000 fans there. Season before 40,000 when Carlisle won and season before that when Southampton won it, 70,000! What a joke this trophy is eh!

    Jpt

    Last season at Wembley for the final of Chesterfield v Swindon there were 50,000 fans there. But let's just forget about the joke cup right ...... cos it's embarrassing. :facepalm:

    Fact is of course we don't mix it with the other clubs we used to mix it with! It may be embarrassing but this is an embarrassing league for us. It's embarrassing to be playing Carlisle and Leyton Orient and Bury every week, but that's just the way it is. For the Premier League you have the...

    Yeah. If we get to Wembley us supporters should just not buy any tickets and not turn up and then refuse to accept the trophy should we win it, despite the competition bringing in a wad of money into the club and creating a feel good factor throughout the city. Fook the poxy thing! :whistle:

    But Spurs are historically a very strong cup team and you have to just wonder how much of a hindrance the JPT is to a Sheff Utd who really do have such a great chance of automatic promotion. You look at the two teams tomorrow and you would have to say that this competition is much more important...

    There was still a big problem with the language. To be fair though, they don't half talk funny in Nuneaton don't they.

    I couldn't have been that bothered had we been knocked out either, but we are at the stage now that if we can get past Sheff Utd tomorrow then the light is at the end of the tunnel. Win this one and we are just two fixtures away from Wembley and the difference with the Sky Blues of course is as...
