I don’t think that’s who we need, I think we should stick with Mickey Duff, he’s doing a good job.

Was it? Looked about three foot inside the box from where I was. ASL was watching on TV - I know who had the better view. I wasn't disputing that, just stating it seemed well inside the area from where I was. But now that robinsrule has entered the debate, I'll back myself :) I was watching on TV t...

Remember that day well. He crossed from the left using his right foot,wrapping it round his left leg,never seen that before or since. Shame it wasnt filmed. A rabona is the term I believe.

Suggest you read my posts again where I said many times this will be a season of transistion. Just read them Robin. Here's a few to remind you. "I said 3 weeks ago before pre-season started that the 2 releagtion places will be filled from CTFC, Exeter, Accy and Morecambe." "What worr...

Is it not? When I last looked, they were all wearing the ECB logo on their jumpers - although Moeen's beard does partly obscure his. Yep, just checked the scoreboard: it definitely says England are bowling. If your idea of an England team, is 11 men with an england badge on their jumper, then I hop...

i would take him how can u say hes done his time and can come back in society but not here please we accept people who have done other bad things ie hughes he got into his car knowing he was well over the limet and in my eyes murdered a pearson but we have said its ok to come back and play football...

Yes definitely a fan. And I live in France. And the TdF is coming through my village this weekend. But I'm back in England for a wedding.
Some people have no sensitivity when it comes to scheduling their events round the major sporting events.

Allez, allez, allez.

The serpent has a mystical place in all ancient religions. And a man is a man and vice versa. What are we teaching our young children, confusing them with sin. Why is homosexuality pushed in our faces every time I turn on my Samsung 70" television. Presumably because you subscribe to a homosex...

Sounds like it's much a do about nothing but I am very surprised Jermaine has decided to stay here rather than try his hand at league one. He'll definitely need a better season next year. However CBB needs to go back into non-league he is well below the standard required. Agree that any player that...

Slothar

Right, so he didn't get much of a shot. Bad luck for the lad, hope he comes back as fit as ever and bangs a few in next season.

Watching out for Mansfield's match with Bristol Rovers this weekend, I wondered what happened to Matt Green. I remember this forum having one or two backers who highly rated him and thought he'd score plenty this season. I'm pretty sure he ended up in the Championship and wondered how he got on? I c...

The dressing room shot of the players seems to be similar to the approach a couple of our players have taken this year.

Okay, so far there have been 43 replies by (I think) 20 separate posters, and they have come up with five names. So one in four of us is able or willing to conjure a name they think will do something better than we have currently. And ten out of eleven posts fail to even attempt to answer the origin...

I’ve read a great deal of opinion on the current average league position and sub-standard home performances. I’m not interested in debating or re-treading that ground as people have all had their say and entitled to their respective points of view. What I am interested in, and what to me has been mi...

Effect is the noun, affect the verb isn't it? If so, Taxidave's usage is spot on.

Three genuine questions, Malabus. 1) Do you consider that your protective feelings towards British people in Britain is opposed in principle by your freedom for animals (do you have an issue with migrating swallows, for example?). 2) Does UKIP present a unified and well thought out policy on the env...

Of the current 88 managers in the football league that are permanently employed, 48% have won something, 52% won nothing. So more have not won a single promotion*, JPT, FA Cup, League Cup, Championship, or play-off. (* this does not include promotion to the football league, only promotion from Leagu...

If Baker and Co sacked Yates tomorrow, they'd have to pay him up his contract until the end of the season (and quite possibly his backroom staff). Well we seem to have done that with a few players recently so I do not see why we should not do it with a manager, I am not necessarily advocating that ...

Slothar

excellent post Slothar, but yet another who thinks the only issue is the league position, but I still , despite what others may think, hope that Yates can turn it round and render any other issues inconsequential. I don't think league position is the only issue, I think it is the only current relev...

Slothar

Well, I'm glad some people are happy with our league position that wholly reflects our dire performances on the pitch, this season. By the way, I've never called for Yatesy to be sacked but I do think we greatly underachieved last year and are doing so again this year. This is based on the personne...

Who is actually saying not to call Christmas, Christmas? I know devout Christians feel under attack (justifiably) because their belief system is being eroded (primarily by rational thought) but I'm still to see anyone not call the 12 days of Christmas, Christmas.... As, er, wonderfully witty and sar...

But Sido DIDN'T deal with it. Dealing with it would have been putting it out. But then again, there is no point arguing with the Brown out brigade Sido didn't deal with it because he was impeded by Scott Brown. Scott Brown didn't claim it because he was impeded by Sido. To avoid those two events th...

80% of prisoners are ill, mentally. Need medical care, not TV or harsh treatment. Is that a genuine figure? Seems high to me.

as a mental curse, or some kind of affliction is frankly insulting. http://www.documentingreality.com/forum/signaturepics/sigpic97304_29.gif Not sure what your point on that is?

What was that quote from one food critic in the wake of the horsemeat 'scandal'? "What do people expect from a 27p burger? That it comes from an organic, free-range, thoroughbred herd and is ground by pixies?" Something like that, anyway. You want to buy a cheap chicken? You can get two f...

Yes, that is probably a fair description of a lot of Royals - but should we remove them simply because of that?

Slothar

Why should they be removed? Because you don't like them, because of the charitable causes they work for, or because of the revenue they bring into the country? Maybe because having an unelected head of state is undemocratic, and that having a head of state who is also head of the church is a confli...

Yates isn't perfect but don't criticise him for getting it right. He picked the team and it won, trying to invent reasons why he did that shows bias. CV summarised it nicely on the other thread, good result but only step one....

We'll summarised. Six points from play-offs, six from relegation sums up the season so far, I think.

To be honest my feel is that smoke bombs will be allowed before too long. Think that is unlikely given that one cigarette of smoke is banned, a whole bomb of it seems unlikely. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/oct/21/chief-constables-clamp-down-flares" onclick="window.open(this.hr...

I don't know why. It's not like there is any evidence that they can cause harm and needlessly so.
