Ryan Broom on the scoresheet for Fleetwood.

Cameron Peupion scores for what I presume is a Brighton u21 team in the National League Cup, whatever that is.

I've heard that! Don't know anyone who goes, mind.

Yea, what's he doing calling our numpties and muppets, "numpties and muppets"???

If you have no interest in rugby, that may be the reason you don't know anyone who goes to watch, hence your positive reinforcement of your belief that hardly anyone in Cheltenham is interested. In my little road in Cricklade, Wilts, out of 10 near neighbours, I'd say 3 of them are semi-regular at K...

I'm not sure I see the problem with this interview - it looks fair enough, to me.

Consider me as firmly in the net as a Luke Young clearing header.

What on Earth has the ref done wrong????

[Insert Marchant's gag here]

Old Trafford's tunnel is in one corner, isn't it ?

What a header! Buried it!

JT has forgotten how to take a free kick, for sure. Dreadful game thus far.

We used to get all excited by that...

For ages, Hynes was my benchmark for loanees... "Is this new guy as bad as Peter Hynes...?"

Hang on... Spurs? Top Premier League club...?

If we include the rest of the Prem, Antonio from West Ham, too.

I think we had a ManUre youngster on loan years ago and I was concerned that I might choke of I had to cheer him on. In the end, he either never or hardly played, so I never suffered the indignity. Must've been a very long time ago...

Anywhere in and around Harrogate is nice

I've pulled that stunt before...booked a romantic weekend in the Peak District for me and the wife and, on the way there, told her we were going to Moss Rose on the Saturday afternoon...

Yep, see it now. Not many folk seem to think it was a 'hack' - cynical lot!

Reporting on FB that that they've been hacked and someone shared something they shouldn't have. Apparently now deleted.

Actually not a bad shout: then, on the day of the match, just set fire to it to ensure the pitch is thawed at least to stud-level.

Shade wrote: ↑11 Jan 2025, 13:09 Wimbledon have had heat lamps on it.

They were described on the bit I read as 'grow lamps' - are they necessarily 'heat lamps'? I dunno.

Well, it seems there are loads of opportunities out there for the experts on here to impart their wisdom as they know better than a whole multitude of professional groundstaff how to ensure matches go ahead.

Hector/Private Fraser has just said the same.

That settles it: our covers are superior!

If it does get called off, might I suggest our covers are better as they allowed the match to be called off *before* anyone travelled...?

Second inspection planned for 12:30. That'll be handy as folk will be well on the way by then...

Sohna can ping the ball, for sure.

Just heard 'arry Rednapp on Radio 5 talking about this. He's not a fan and thinks too many managers are Wannabe Peps and think they need to play out from the back to show themselves as modern, progressive managers. He thinks you should play to the ability of your players and not expect all your defe...

"Pressing high up the pitch" is, I would imagine, relatively easy to coach and carries less risk for the attacking team than "playing it out from the back" does for the defending team. A L2 team is more likely to have an effective press than a consistent bunch of keepers/defender...

This is an interesting article on BBC Sport: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cp3z0wx3x54o The stats are very Premiership-focused, obviously, but the general story is applicable to all levels. I remarked at a recent game that we no longer try to play it out from the back quite so much -...

Don't forget that everybody left at the start of the summer. We needed bodies in shirts and Pell was available. Can't imagine why else he was re-signed. Our squad was being rebuilt from the ground up - in my opinion, with a view of mid-table survival (anything higher being a bonus). Pell fits that.

I'd love to say I remember them both, Fuller, but....

Newport game called off today. Comment on the BBC page made me laugh out loud: "Should have been called off yesterday, the club and officials knew the pitch was not going to be playable."

Honestly, those making these decisions are damned if they do and damned if they don't!

We could recoup some of the cost by selling our existing covers to another club as, contrary to popular opinion, there were quite a lot of matches postponed in England, today. Granted, we were the 'biggest' - but someone had to be.
