    Things we did when we were kids

    Apart from the obvious like jumpers for goalposts. Thinking along the lines of winning goldfish at school fetes.

    Ridiculous

    I am truly fed up now..although I have had to endure the season of Hoofball so far we sit in 3rd place.this is a joke. Last year I was content that we were **** and going nowhere with some old bloke as a manager..now he tries to move the goalposts to fox me. How dare he sign new players early...

    Goal celebration

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_3/9055703.stm Fast forward to around 1.04 and look at the fan that jumps the wall and does a jig by the goalposts. Quality

    High Court hearing v Charterhouse 14/07/2010

    So we are back in the High Court tomorrow to face yet another winding up petition. This time from loan company, Charterhouse Commercial Finance, over a debt of £140,000, which is believed to have been borrowed against season card monies. Ron has assured the fans that "the money is in place" to...

  6. You've got to hand it to him

    I've never met the man, so haven't seen his skills first hand, but you've got to hand it to him. Ron Martin must have incredibly slick PR skills. He seems to be like teflon. Whenever there is something bad to face, either someone else is put forward to take the flak or he somehow wins people...

    How is this possible?

    How did he do that? Surely it must be quite hard to move goalposts...

    Keeper guilty of moving goalposts

    It doesn't mention it in the article but apparently the keeper moved them bit by bit over 20cm. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/8274016.stm

    First Football Management Position

    I today got asked, and accepted the position of Y8 Boys 'B' Team Coach & Manager. :D Get in! All those years of FM and now I can put it into practice; "Jumpers for goalposts!"

    Nervous Gunners Slip Through

    Cesc Fabregas is the youngest Arsenal captain since Tony Adams and, appropriately enough, the new era began much like the old one. The Gunners were tentative and unsure of themselves, but recovered their composure to sneak a victory. One nil to the Arsenal? Meet the new boss, same as the old...

  11. Breaking News Revelling in it

    Revelling In It It’s strange, scoring goals can be both the easiest and hardest things in football, ask anyone, be it Alan Shearer or my mate Dave from the Dog and Duck FC! In theory, all you are doing is passing the ball in to a 24ft space but sometimes it feels like you are threading it...

    Great Player Sponsorship idea

    Bournemouth Official Site: 'Corporate Player Sponsorship' Sounds like a great idea to me! It all adds more money in the coffers and the 50 tickets to donate to a local school per player sponsorship is an excellent idea... The only downside is that it would limit the number of individual fans...

    Delancey

    There was a big front page spread on Tilly's feelings toward Delancey last night.... Tilly wants Delancy to sell their 50% share in the club to Uncle Ron at the price which was agreed upon originally.. Delancey have moved the goalposts and want more money for their stake now, more money...

  14. New 'gherkin' tactical genius

    So, after sustained criticism of his tactical naiveity at the last home match Hooly 'Goran-Eriksson' relinquished control of the 'Lucky Gherkin' last night to a more old-school manager - Ron Manager in fact ("jumpers for goalposts" etc). His bold attacking move of the...
