    Interview with Anton Otulakowski

    Born and bred in Yorkshire, Anton, a former international schoolboy gymnast, caught the eye of Barnsley while playing for Ossett Town and joined them in 1975 for his first pro team. Whilst at Barnsley, Anton was also holding down a full time job as a surveyor with the then Gas Board and he...

    Kicked To the Curb

    There's never a dull moment in the EPL. Just 24 hours after the farcical scenes at St James Park, Alan Curbishley nipped in ahead of Kevin Keegan to become the first manager of the season to leave his club, resigning after an unhappy spell at West Ham. The history books will hint at a short...
  3. Ref Watch Singhing off key ....

    "A referee who likes nothing more than to let the players get on with the game commanding respect with a quiet word here or there rather than the ostentatious approach of some referees. He is not at his best if matches get nasty, but to his credit most of his don't." I've seen Mr Singh referee...

    Hull City

    Hull City, a gritty northern side who were in the bottom division of English football just four years ago, are now 90 minutes away from the bright lights of the Premier League. Manager Phil Brown only took over in January 2007 when the Humberside team were paddling in the relegation zone, but...

    Will King Kev be Recalled From Gills for Play Offs?

    Obviously now that Gillingham's fairly disasterous season is almost over and could end on Saturday with them relegated to what I still feel is actually Division 4, King Kev will have finished his time there and will therefore I suppose be available for our subsequent play off matches. He has...

    Turkey striker, Nihat.

    While England’s footballers sulk in their sun-loungers, the rest of the continent will be contesting the 2008 European Championships. Iain Macintosh, who still won’t allow the word ‘McClaren’ to be uttered in his home, runs the rule over some of the potential stars of the summer. This week, it’s...

    Inaccurate & lazy BBC journalism again?

    This is a paragraph out of the story on the BBC website about Scunthorpe being 50/50 on getting the go-ahead for a new stadium. Now correct me if I'm wrong (although I know we first played at Roots Hall before our move to The Stadium & The Kursaal) but surely Roots Hall in it's current guise...

    Do we really want to beat Blackpool tonight ?

    Must admit , can't make my mind up about this one - obviously out of loyalty I always wish for a win and of course there is the lure of a big club and another famous scalp , not to mention the payday . On the other hand , I felt the Man U build up and subsequent euphoria took our minds off the...

    I am undertaking an academic study entitled The Effect of Inter-Familial Sexual Relationships on Subsequent Educational Performance of Offspring in the East of England. Anyone care to mention a location I may wish to conduct some of this study?:rolleyes:
  13. End of Season reflection.

    Guys and gals. As the season draws to a close, and our last home game tomorrow, i call on all of you to take as much as you can from this season. To take pride, belief, faith and the sense of achievement. Yes we are relegation favourites now, but let's not giv up til it's over. And if it is...

    Slipperduke meets...

    When I caught up with Adrian Clarke in London's trendy Camden, it was raining. "It's raining," he said with a wry smile, as the water pounded against the windows. He glanced outside at the widening pools of water on the pavement, the reflected lights of the traffic turning them into...
  17. Matt Harrold

    True to my word I feel it is extremely necessary to post on here that I was WRONG about Harrold. So much so infact that I am questioning whether or not he actually is the same bloke who looked so dreadful in the games I lined in over at Harlow Town in 2002. I see Dave Kitson's not in the Reading...

    With apologies for this plagiaristic (and extremely drunken) post, I claim no credit for the original idea but in the absence of any other posts on this topic... Doing a bit of research I'm struggling to find local minibus hire firms that will do hire for less than 3 days - does anyone know of...
