I can't believe the difference between the first 40 mins at Blackpool and the by the final whistle at Port Vale. It is like chalk and cheese. They are definitely now playing as a team that poses a threat to the opposition with a much higher intensity. They seem to have a belief about them now. As ot...

Sacked by Bristol Rovers. His comments after their last game against Stevenage and Steve Evans: “Obviously, the fat man's going bananas at the referee which is normal for the end of a game. Every referee at this level knows they're going to get the weeble wobbling across the pitch and berating them...

When I was at school, the ball had to be put into the scrum straight, too. I guess if you don't have to do that, any more, there's no need for the hooker to hook it. That's how I remember it and the ref blowing for it not being straight. They used to talk about "one against the head" when...

Can anyone explain to me what the role of a hooker is within the scrum in modern day rugby?

He doesn't seem to need any hooking skills as the scrum halves just feed the second row,

Chinese owners now I think? What do they know about football? 6th or 7th in the table and just beat Baggies 3-1 and he gets fired You could say that about many football club owners! Maybe it is down to international marketing appeal. Eustace is not a known "name" in football whereas Roone...

I bet both Sky TV and BBC TV will have reporters at the game. I am sure there will be additional articles appearing in the national newspapers as well.

Just how many games would need to be replayed because of wrong decisions? 1, 10.100.1000?

How far do you go back? 1966?

Utter nonsense from Klopp

What an asset as a supporter you are...NOT! Lovely...can you make any use of the ticket I've bought for tomorrow, if I'm not welcome? I am somewhat puzzled by Swiss-Robins post.

At the start of this season I was feeling quite optimistic for once. Decent squad (so I thought!), good pre-season performances and good support, both home and away. Seemed to be a feel good factor about the club. How quickly that's all turned to sh!te. It was the same for me. I was so optimistic w...

Pate’s was demolished and rebuilt in the mid-90s after the 60s/70s concrete started crumbling. Short-term thinking, wanting something for nothing, and spivs have been plaguing Britain for decades.

Haha ha, yes. One Ex Robin who was an appalling actor was JJ Melligan. He didn't feign injury but he'd take a dive in the box aways about 2 seconds too late. The best from memory, going back many years was Joe Gadston who won so many penalties by making contact with the defenders shin. Worked every...

The Colombian spill aside (and possibly today's winner from Spain), I've been telling anyone who'll listen that the standard of keeping has improved exponentially, season on season in the women's game. I agree. Previously there had been lots of instances of where their reaction time was too slow an...

It is all very well but after 2 seasons in L1 you expect you be able to be competitive as we know the standard required. I was at Shrewsbury last week and we weren't. Listening to the game today, we definitely weren't. I can see after 5 league games having nul point and nul goals. It is probably the...

Yes, there was a lot of hype around them and Aaron Ramsey when they joined us. I'm not sure hype is the right word. Caleb was described as "promising" when he signed. For comparison, Taylor Perry was described as "highly rated" when he joined from Wolves and Aaron Ramsey as &quo...
