Re: Cheltenham Town v Sunderland
Good Lord! Does one take it that, for the first time since ancient times, the Referee was a "Homer"? All Greek to yours truly, sadly.

Why is The Forum website still "http", not "https"?
Deemed to be "not secure" in my browser!
Could this be a large factor in there being less posts and views?

League Two Play-Offs
One considers the four semi-final matchs shown on TV were a wonderful advert for "Lower-League" football - coupled with the National League final last weekend.

Re: Wanted: the mole in the camp
I don't really think this is the place for having a dig at the local football journalist. Maybe if you have a grievance you could email the sports desk at The Echo, rather than utilise a public forum to critique him. It seems a little harsh to me. If the Echo spam links are allowed and treated as n...

Re: Brian Wilson
One always admired him in his first stint, and, as long as he remains fit, would undoubtedly be an asset at this present juncture.
One muses whether he regrets going off to join the wandering minstrels known as The Beach Boys.
