Weird what sticks in your head. Back in the mid 80's I went for a job interview in Macclesfield and one of the panel asked me what I knew about the town. The first thing that came into my head was that it was the birthplace of Alf Wood, former Shrewsbury Town striker! The old programmes were full of such details on opposition players...

Ah, Boxing Day 1969...the start of the rot....

Just bring him on after the game has finished to lead the celebrations...and, maybe, claim a goal, scored by someone else!

As a counsellor friend used to say, "Stay with the pain!"

The games were within a couple of weeks of each other...and it was over 50 years ago. To make it seem even worse, an 'owd fella making a similar post back then would have been recalling a game in 1922!

So can I... The same with Johnny Price's long distance banger v Bradford from a similar position... Memories!!

From memory, I think it was a different game. The McDougall hand incident was v AFC (lol)Bournemouth and the long distance goal was v Brighton....

The trouble was Jones stayed in goal after he was injured (at 2-0 down I think). Don didn't go in goal until we were 5 -0 down...

Well, I think Eustace and the players are building something special. Meanwhile, this podcast brings me back to the unwanted reality of what is going on in the shadows. The podcast is very good indeed. If only we were a normal club!

He's been injured

Shadow Man-unimpeachable? Name me anyone, who thinks that lol

"Your mate, Pasha"?! You can't have been reading Crimpshire's contributions, if you are writing something like that..

A neologism..and a very good one it is too!

It's the stuff that happened in the years after the takeover..

But what about the quality of the pies FFS?

Gestede and the old "begin again/fresh start" syndrome! He is just another stooge, who is inviting us shelve any critical analysis of circumstances and patterns, which have continued for a long time... We see you, Rudy!

Just sighing at the same sentence containing "Venky's" and "do the decent thing"! And there's me thinking Paradox was just a kind of washing powder...

Who remembers: "Field shines, as Blackburn romp to victory" November '71..Furphy's revivalism... But in those days everyone within the club and on the terraces wanted the same thing.

Yep. Fck off, Venky's!

This reminds me of a damning line often used in child abuse investigations... The football authorities have shown a distinct absence of curiosity...

My favourite banner in the protests read:" The F.A. left us to Die!"

No apologies necessary. Made me laugh out loud!

In all fairness, he was getting himself in the right positions to miss so many in that first season after promotion. However, the "Beamo" joke should not overpower the reality that his goals and general play the previous season were crucial in our promotion. There was no hint of irony in the "Beamo" chants, as Gordon Lee's team won the 3rd Division championship.

Yes, I counted. I know what I'd have been muttering for the first 30 passes too. I can't pretend that this "reward" happens often enough ....or that it is worth all the "risk" and...well..er boredom!

Yeah, but I am wondering what I would have been thinking, had I been watching live... in the early part of the move there were 8 passes back to Pears!!
