I forgot Easter Monday.

We've played a playoff final on a Monday in 2002.

Si Robin

It was, but that isn't a League game.

Hereford in the FA Cup that same season was a Monday night as well.

Si Robin

I believe so - with Boxing Day and New Year's Day falling any day of the week, I'd imagine it's impossible we haven't. Sunday games, not including Boxing Day or New Year, include Shrewsbury in Sept 1999, and Cardiff in April 2001. Not including Boxing Day, I don't think we've played on a random Mond...

Si Robin

You're not wrong, but it wasn't just a CTFC thing, it was an EFL thing. As I follow all of the League 1 clubs on Twitter, my timeline was literally that ad from every single one of them at the same time.

Si Robin

I wouldn't.

I'm not one for nice football, but his is anti-football.

I suspect Ainsworth and Wycombe is like catching lightning in a glass. He won't have much success anywhere else.

Si Robin

So Forest Green have clearly bribed someone as despite admitting to fielding an illegible player, they have been allowed to replay their match against Scarborough. It will be interesting to see if Barnsley take any action against the FA for this as they did the same and were thrown out. An FA state...

Si Robin

Admittedly it's short notice, but we are live tonight on Twitter:

Si Robin

I don't think so - he left Barnsley partially because of the travel. Rotherham would be exactly the same.

I can see him taking a break, bit of punditry on Sky live games maybe, then seeing what comes up down the line.

Si Robin

I can't imagine they were related.

I'm not sure Russ ever looked as menacing

Si Robin

I don't think you can compare Duff doing a full season at Barnsley and taking them to a playoff final to Steve Cotterill leaving Stoke after 13 games to become an assistant.

Si Robin

Shaun North was the assistant brought in that summer to replace Neil Howarth.

I think Fuller means the bloke who called himself the Chief Scout, who's name also escapes me...I'll find it though.

EDIT: John Milton was his name.

Si Robin

Are they still owned by the people that effectively liquidated Worcester Warriors Rugby Club?

Si Robin

Why would an ineligible player in an FA Cup game lead to a points deduction in the EFL?

Si Robin

Also - I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who's listened to us ramble on this year. The stats below are outstanding: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GAL5TZqW4AA7cXc?format=jpg&name=4096x4096 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GAL5Tn9XUAATzCk?format=jpg&name=4096x4096 https://twitter.com/Robi...

Very sad news Shev.

RIP Cag.

Lee Vaughan at Southend. I put on Facebook the day he was appointed - Good luck Paul Buckle, you're going to need it with our fickle fanbase - It haunts me every year on the memories part of the Facebook app. I remember we got a decent draw with Luton under him and in the Parklands after the game I ...

Si Robin

It was the 26th November, not 29th.

Si Robin

Took two pens to beat us - I don't think we can argue with either - and we played some good stuff. Rode our luck towards the end of the first half, otherwise I think a draw would have been a fair result. Take the performance, move on, and look to beat Rovers in 11 days time. We're a competitive team...

Si Robin

Pett has a tight groin - better to rest him than risk him

Si Robin

I was going to ask if he meant former as in played for Cheltenham before 1985, or after.

I'd guess Andy Gray, but not sure if he moved back to Villa that summer or later.

Si Robin

Quite sure no-one has disputed it being a red card

Si Robin

Definitely heading out on loan in January.

Si Robin

DC said on Thursday that there are 12 or 13 players in the squad up to the standard - Street is clearly one of those. He's not going to throw him under the bus over a mistake. If Street had form for doing this sort of thing and it was the 3rd or 4th time he'd been sent off for it, then I'd get it, b...

Si Robin

Lost his cool in a moment of stupidity. We've all been there, including yourself no doubt.

Just because Shade doesn't immediately want him pilloried makes him neither a thug nor an idiot.

EDIT - Not that Shade needs me to defend his opinion

Si Robin

Sits smugly after predicting they'd go down this season (still very early of course).

" The visitors responded well after the break, Dan Crowley winning possession and feeding Langstaff who finished clinically."

He also gave away a penalty.

Might as well rename this thread Crowley-Watch

Si Robin

I think DC nailed it at the forum when discussing Wade - whilst Wade had MM in the background last year he was able to concentrate on coaching and managed the team well. In the summer he was still a novice on the background stuff and was thrown in the deep end, alongside another novice in Russ. Natu...

No, we’re just a bunch of idiots who forgot [emoji23]

About 30 secs after we stopped recording Matt mentioned it. We’re hoping to do a mini-pod on Sunday

Half based in reality.

Si Robin

Jesus - it was an off the cuff comment about referring to him as a Cheltenham fan, half meant in jest.

Si Robin

I have no doubt he goes to games - fully aware of that fact - but I listened to Fighting Talk for years and I don't think Cheltenham ever got a mention. His love for Arsenal on the other hand...

Si Robin

Radio Gloucestershire are recording it and it is due to go out tomorrow between 6 and 7 (maybe 5 and 6, but sure it's 6 and 7). After which it will be available on BBC Sounds.

EDIT: it will be edited down to 57 mins.

Not kicked out - didn't actually enter.
