Of course it does.

One of the more obvious penalty claims I've ever seen. This place would be in uproar if it had gone against us. A good lucky win.

In the players favour, an auto extension when promotion occured, I think. Bells agent did well to get it for his client.

in the 3 England innings so far in this Series Crawley has scored 9-8-5 and Sibley 4-2-0, Embuldeniya has nailed them every time Edit: With reference to recently deleted posts the above stats clarify ''This' = ok Watson? ( Den - this comment is not in reference to you)

Rovers U18s v Man U U18s KO 11am UK time on Saturday 23 Jan, at Brockhall live on MUTV. Is this match likely to be played with Covid and weather issues?

I wonder if the Players elite committee still run HT discussions at Rovers.

The claim had been made that promotion was not possible under Warnock. I posted 'IF' ..... What you say is quite correct and by definition so is what Gav posted. Again. I posted 'IF' .... example : IF only Warnock had been with Agent kickback we would have been promoted.

IF Warnock had been appointed and given the transfer funds made available to Mowbray the we would have gone up and under Vs dire ownership model. That's the camp I'm in.

This!

Good read that. Thanks @swansnews Well not everyone on Twitter wants to build a statue to our Legend That's a positive

I know he irritates me when he's constantly picked up by the stump mic. It should be muted when he comes up to the wicket, they can still record so pick up his OZ style politeness in case he goes too far.

Actually I don't disagree on that and I have no doubt Vs would have got worse and perhaps we would still be in Div 3!

Mowbray himself said that his task was to keep us up. He failed and said so himself at the time. He got Senior binned, somehow conned the main job possibly on reduced wage and promo bonus and the rest is history. Oh and he got 2 of his best mates jobs to protect his back and favours his home club in transfers. Most of that is actually true

Cracking game, I've convinced myself I saw it on TV back in the day. A perfectly playable pitch for the notoriously bad Baseball Ground. It would need to be waterlogged, frozen or severely Snowbound to be called off .... Not just because it looked like a ploughed field. Plenty of skills on display in that game too. Today if the boots get dirty it's game off time. Feckin softies.

Hero's every one

I watched the game in real time and have just re-watched on the iFollow extended highlights. Armstrong was onside, no doubts about that. The ball looked over the line before Elliott passed to Buckley to score. There is a side on camera angle in the highlights. Armstrong was fouled when breaking clear a long way from goal. He's not that good on 1 on 1 so maybe a 20% chance he scores. Kaminsky made a great save, so did the Stoke Keeper. Stoke hit the post. On the Stoke goal as the corner kick comes in Nyambe pushes Johnston forcibly in his back as Johnson is running towards the cross. The result of that odd behaviour is that Johnson is pushed under the cross, Nyambe in anchored to the floor and an unmarked Powell nods in. I have no explanation other than Nyambe is trying to give Johnson leverage to jump and it fails miserably. Johnson was appalling, Branthwaite had an excellent debut, Davenport looks good and should now be a starter, Travis and Dack are way of being match fit but have to play to achieve that, Kaminski had a great save but also got lucky with a low cross he just deflected out into play. Elliott was quiet until he got the (fortunate) assist and gets a pass on making any 50/50 challenges but we can't expect perfection from a young lad. Hes going to play in the PL for someone. Brereton injected energy when he came on, I may criticise him but hell he tries hard. Douglas did reasonably ok. We were crap for 75 minutes and did well to escape with a point. i wish we had someone who could have taken 'care' of Powell and Allen. The Ref and his flag-bearers have never played Football, maybe Netball The Pitch - a leg breaker, like being back in the 70's and earlier. A disgrace on the Club.

Better than Ayala and has played more games for MKD in half a season than Ayala will for us in a full season. Ayala is currently off with his annual Januaryitis

Maybe, maybe, maybe, yes

Relieved to hear your absence was due to a ban and not summat like Covid. You keep the place lively.

Are you a LB too, that would be an immense help

Thanks for the explanation. Not something for me but I can see the merits if it's monetised to the club's advantage and can't be hacked, unlike iFollow. Maybe why bother with any team with expensive and injury prone humans, there has to be an algorithm to handle team management. Things to Come in our Brave New World. Most of all I feel sorry for today's youngsters with anything approaching that a possibility. Kicking an empty bean can still seems like more fun which is how I discovered the beautiful game.

I tend to agree with you. What is an e-sports team? However, there is more chance of Little Timmy never knowing that a football is round and continuing to shoot people in an online 'game'

I was just thinking the same. If that had come from Kean or Coyle this place would go ballistic. The truth is bullshit is bullshit whomsoever mouths it.

Sugar me, I weakened my resolve and read it. Note to self: I must not read shit garbage I must not read shit garbage I must not read shit garbage Etc Etc 100 times I cant help it ... he actually thinks that we could, currently, be at least in 2nd place. Truly I am lost for words.

Again same here with the ''Keep it Tidy OCB'' which is my main bitch with the overly untidy Missus.
