  1. One hell of a fight

    Allright, this season has gone totally pear shaped. Yes we have had extreemly bad luck...but we have lacked that little bit of extra quality. The hardest thing to accept is we've been beaton by cr*p teams who rely on big lumps up front and set peices - unfortunatly thier unattractive game...

    Valentine's Day

    I wrote this three years ago and I still stand by it. Welcome to my least favourite day of the year. I f**king hate Valentine’s Day, corporate bull**** Hallmark-invented ****. If you love someone, you should treat them like the god or goddess they are every ****ing day of the year, not...

    Is there any opposition in this country ?

    Taken from another thread Sadly this meal ticket isn't one that will work for the Tories. They need some other policies as well rather than the wishy-washy PC **** that Cameron is spouting on about. What are their views on Iraq, the state of the nation, the nanny state stealth tax & 'fine...

    The sea's on the pitch - Barnsley A Match summary

    **** ***** **** **** Just gut wrenching Rained on there, torrential rain during the match, worse rain in the second half, turned into a farce. Rightly the officials carried on, and with 20 mins left, I was hoping a fairly entertaining (for the wrong reasons) encounter wouldnt be abandoned...

  7. Would the real David Morley please stand up?

    MACCLESFIELD skipper David Morley was Christmas shopping when he found out his team had drawn champions Chelsea in the FA Cup. His team-mate Matty Tipton sent him a chance text. "Oh my God, we've got Chelsea," he whispered to his wife Natalie, half-thinking it must be a wind-up...

  8. Maher & Duguid

    I note from our Official site that Steve Tilson has now disclosed we had a statement from "their playing" (obvious typo) confirming Kev Maher never even touched Duguid! I'm now even more angry about this. Assuming the above quote should read "their player" then why was Duguid not charged for...

    Was thorpe the worst ref this season?

    for me this bloke was a complete tw&t. he had no control over the game what so ever. he mae the most stupid mistakes possible. a good example for me when when in the first half brumme had a freekick on the edge of the box and he wasn't even looking he was talking to one of there...

    Jonny's Weather Watch

    9:40 am - Yeah ok, I'm going to be a litle late for work but I'm tired, ok? Anyhoo, the world outside is extremely misty - visibility is around 150 ft, temp approx: 26 degrees C (I'm inside, ok?) The sun appears to be burning off some of the mist, but is pretty hazy at the moment...

  11. Management contracts

    I prefer watching the football than worrying too much about how a club is run but looking at what the Chairman says about the contracts - "all the terms have been reviewed, not just the length, all the financial terms which will now compare with most Championship clubs" it looks...

    Corporate Xmas parties

    My companies Xmas do runs from 7pm to 10pm on a Tuesday night and is scheduled for a date so early in the year it could be mistaken for a  Harvest festival. Is anyone else being treated this shabbily over the festive period?

  14. Maher

    Whatever Duguid did (or didn't do) Maher put himself in that position by squaring up to Duguid off the ball.Totally unproffesional At least the other lad sent off went for taking him out properly.Which is what Maher should have done. And re cheating the McCormack dive to for a penalty in...

  15. Steve Bennett

    I hate it when excuses are made for a team,especially after losing 3-0, but we were more than equal to Col******r today and was done over by inadequate refereeing. We matched them and it could have gone either way before the sendings off. I was thinking in the first half how poor the ref was...

    I dropped my son off after the match and returned to Roots Hall with my tent, sleeping bag, etc. and joined the queue of about 50 people at around 10.30pm. The line continued to grow steadily until about 12 midnight when it numbered about 100.  The line didn't start to grow again until about...
