I suspect there’s a lot in this…

😀

😳

More Boxing Day nonsense from me…no, I’m not working today…how did you ever guess ???

Did I ??? I’ll put it down to an edit that went wrong 😆

Some of my unique brand of nonsense here should you fancy…

Those shorts… (anyone who read my piece in the last 4000 Holes will understand…😉).

Hi @Gav your point is noted; for absolute clarity, the site remains live during this period, it’s only WDWY that is having a short holiday & even then, only for a couple of days…and it’s over Christmas. As always, it’s about balance. We aren’t a fully commercial site & we therefore rely on goodwill to keep the lights on. The forum is historically the site’s heart & soul, but it relies heavily on the mods giving up their time for free. When they say “we’d like a couple of days off” then we feel we have a duty to listen. We created the ad-free option in response to user-demand, if you feel that this decision means that it’s no longer worth it then we respect that viewpoint, though I don’t think that’s what you are saying. Anyhow…we’ll take your feedback into account for future years & thanks for the civilised exchange of opinions 😉.

Which Rovers will turn up…Jekyll or Hyde ? Another Sky game but perhaps that jinx has been laid low after Norwich City ? Will Tony show Dack & Buckley round the home dressing room ?

Mola is having a torrid time.

Classic Tony Field...sadly for Sheff Utd...

I've entered mine on the S/S wrong way round - just to reiterate my prediction..!!!

Just one more game left...the big one...just imagine if England finally win...What now ? Oh... It's tight at the top - still 3 fighting it out for the title but 2nd & 3rd places up for grabs. Some BRFC mugs courtesy of our sponsors The Terrace available for the top three... 😃

Googled this...not many of the backs of shirts !

Extracts of today’s League Paper…

I think the catalyst was the change in the laws that allowed a goal kick to be taken short (inside the area). Sides started to look to exploit this…with (shall we say) mixed results.
