  1. Penalties - Handball rant

    With recent controversy on penalties for handball, here’s my take. I agree, for once, with Arian Chiles that only two people know for certain whether handball is deliberate viz. the ‘perpetrator’ and God. I feel that refs are too quick to award penalties just because the ball has touched a...
  2. BBC Essex interview with Big Roy

    I know most of us were conquering Dagenham today - so you probably missed the hour-long interview special with Roy McDonough on BBC Essex, which ran at midday. You can replay it here if you are interested: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p011xpll Cheers, Bernie P.S. "Get out my pub" classic...

    Smith

    For God's sake this is getting ridiculous. The stuff I heard in the East Blacks today was priceless... No-one said anything after his fantastic quick distribution in the first half with a great kick to Tomlin who took on the defender and had a great shot. However, after their 1st goal, which...
  4. North Bank

    It seems nearly every match there's a scrap between us and the away fans! We always come on here and complain about it, and say how important it is. Stop intimidating the away fans! Trueblue has pushed for this, and it's all going to be ruined by idiots. Tonight it seemed to start after a group...
  5. Ref Watch FA CUP REFWATCH ... Bury

    The man in charge is experienced referee, Andy Haines from Tyne and Wear. This is his sixth season as a League referee, although we have seen nothing of him for nearly four years. Just as well, some might say bearing in mind he has awarded four penalties against us in just 3 matches, the last...
  6. Freddy must put in a shift

    Some of you will be choking on your lunch as one of the blues greats is in danger of being an also ran,In his prime he was lazy but had that yard of pace and eye for goal which made him a united legend,Injuries and father time and looking overweight will not help Freds cause.Since 2007 Fred has...
  7. Where's the book Pete?

    Well, here it is. The most telling statement in the article is: He recently received a letter from "the guy who ran the case, saying 'none of us ever believed that you were guilty of anything'. http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2012/oct/09/pete-townshend-who-i-am

    Spicer

    What are peoples opinions on Spicer? Early days I know but jurys still out IMO. I do rate him, just feel that he would suit a 3 man midfield rather than 2. In pre season, I really liked the look of him. Thought he liked to get the ball moving, ran with the ball, looked for the wide man, made...

    The Olympics V Football

    I watched our chaps at the Olympics, I wanted them to win every event and I cheered them on TV because I couldn't get any tickets. I really enjoyed the games and thought we did very well. However I did not shout and abuse any athlete who did not win. OK I wasn't actually there but you know...
  10. Ben Clarkson Olympic Sprinter

    Was sat in the South Upper today (allegedly on duty) when a tribe of podgy spammers sat 2 rows in front of us and did nothing but slate of our club from the toilets, the view, the team and eventually our very own Ben as he ran over to the West to treat one of ours. After very loudly saying "pot...

    PL Weekly Points Points for Round 57

    A disappointing "season low" of25 entrants this week, thanks to each of you for sticking by us whilst matters "on the field" become more crucial than at any time in the season I mentioned in the fixtures thread about the random nature of the play offs had meant some vastly different outcomes...

    Record Store Day - Saturday 21 April

    As we have no game on Saturday no excuse for all you guys and gals to not go down to your local independent record store and buy some vinyl (or CDs) and see what special offers are on offer (I will be at my local store Jam in Falmouth - if I was in SOS would be going to the great Fives in Leigh)...

    Player Sponsorship 2011/12 - Sean Clohessy

    Just want to say a massive thanks to Susannah at the Club, and Sean for a most enjoyable visit to B&L today. Also to the organisers of SZ's sponsorship of Sean for drawing my ticket out. All worked out very nicely, watched training (Prosser didn't take part so can only assume he's not going to...

    My little Roots Hall Rant

    Well actually I don't mind paying and watching a not very good team play not good very tactics against another not very good team in a not very good game. I do mind paying to watch someones back as they pop up every so often to let someone nip upstairs for a burger. In fact I don't even mind...

    Yo - From my new home in HK

    Moved in this morning, though I've had the keys since Saturday and gradually moved things in since, but as the serviced apartment ran out this morning I made full use of it. Cable man has just been for Internet and Cable TV though for some reason order is screwed up as I clearly ordered wireless...

    SOUTHEND United chairman Ron Martin launched an furious tirade at the team following their 2-0 defeat at Aldershot Town on Tuesday night. More...
  17. Pre-Match Thread Morecambe v Southend United

    After the defeat at Aldershot P.S. has STATED he is making changes ! This is how I see it. Goal: Bentley: Instruction. Mix kicking with quick thro. Looking for your right back and central midfielder that will be looking for the ball from you. while being aware of our 2 wingers who will...
  18. Behind the scenes probs? Luggy's Anger!

    Luggy's rant at the media after the Game was one of anger. To a degree understandably so but in my opinion maybe there are tough obstacles that lie ahead because there was just something about him in that interview which you don't normally see or hear from him. not in that manner. I know he's...
  19. Di Canio Rant. Also said Swindon will win de league, no problem.

    Did anyone see the Di Canio rant on the football league show? Amazing. After being sent to the stands again, he basically said ''I do what I want in my technical area, they can't stop me, I will mova my body, mya arms, mya shoulders, mya legs, it's my culture.'' He also kicked Richie up the bum...
  20. Lack of Saturday Games

    Just a bit of a rant from me....................... Why are there so few home Saturday games? Seems to be getting less and less each year. Am I dreaming this? My other 'arf is getting a bit pi**ed off that she can't go shopping (I know, misguided individual that she is). Only three home...
