Penalty awarded by G Salisbury for Crawley. I won’t use the word ‘consistency’, as you just can’t have that and ‘Salisbury’ in the same sentence!

I did see that awful ref game them a much softer penalty than the one he booked Varney for last week but my first thought was more how has he been allowed to ref another game.

It was a different ref - Michael Salisbury refereed our game, Graham Salisbury refereed Crawley's.

Thing is they're not even remotely sly about the quite obvious fixture fixing

Still, I really cannot buy into your conspiracy theory, you sound like every other disappointed but entitled fan up and down this country we call England. It's jealous and unrealistic, in either order.

Ref's don't hate Cheltenham - they are completely ambivalent about you.

The bottom reaches of the league are not an attractive place in TV land unless you are fighting the trap door.

Be careful what you wish for.

I firstly associate the name Duff with beer, secondly having the meaning of failure, thirdly it rhymes with guff, fourthly how a deaf Scot would describe himself.

And fifthly the manager of your team.

Not quite enough to get Gabby Logan down.

True, I wouldn't expect a totally decent and hard working manager to attract the likes of Gabby Logan (where's the bloke?). I hope the day never comes when the mark of success, is getting the attention to the likes of her.

Am I missing something, re Gabby Logan? She's married to Kenny Logan, ex Scot rugby international. Is he some kind of scumbag? Or is she known for liking workshy losers?

You know the rules, all threads must be derailed after 10 posts
Re GL not her personally. Just tired of watching male teams competing in most sports and not being able to move for female presenters. Watch the womens World cup in football or netball and you can hardly find a male presenter to swear at!
(wow, has this thread ever been de-railed...)
