Re: Since being in the EFL 1999

Can't think we've played a league game on a Monday night, just Easter Monday afternoon's. Have we played a play-off game on a Monday evening?

Re: Advertising

Well, if we're sliding into whisky tours, if anyone finds themselves in the north of Scotland, Glenmorangie is interesting...

Can't stand the stuff, personally. Whisky, that is. More of a Disaronno and Jagermeister connoisseur...

Anyway, Brostil Revors tomorrow.

Re: Advertising

'Odd' in that I've never seen the CTFC FB account openly advertise *any* products. Not sure how you felt that I found it 'offensive' - I was just making the point. Thanks for the explanation, Si!

Re: Advertising

It does seem odd for CTFC to advertise it but if alcohol is allowed to be sold at the ground for profit I don't see why we shouldn't be able to advertise it online. But as Si said, it's an EFL thing.

Re: Gloucestershire football

Indeed it would, and would stop a lot of unnecessary speculation on the internet. Yet another case of the FA failing to wipe its ass.

Presumably Scarborough can claim back their costs, given they have had to play two games and travel to Nailsworth for nothing, and now have to stage a second home tie.

Re: Mike Duff

Partly down to Swansea and MD both being set in their ways.

Re: If you ever think OUR defending is bad...

I just looked at the League Two table as they were up in the top 2 not too long ago. I see they're now 6th after 3 defeats in the last 5, but they have conceded 36. That is equal 3rd worst defence in the division! Matched by Swindon (8th) and Newport (15th), and only better than Sutton (24th with 40...

Re: Blackpool

Why would an ineligible player in an FA Cup game lead to a points deduction in the EFL? I don't know if it will but, as above, if it's to do with the keeper, presumably they've also been using the "emergency" keeper in L2 when they shouldn't have and they will have broken League rules too.

Is that another automatic point deduction?
"Already under an embargo until 2025 for remaining outstanding for too long, the club risks more punishments from the EFL as they face an independent panel in the coming weeks."

Frustrating result, if fully expected (I predicted 2-1). But some positives from the match to take forward.

Inclined to agree. Giving them everything last 20 minutes.

Ferry with the "handball", not Bevan as Halliwell seemed to think.

Two goals for May, what a massive surprise.
