Respect to FIFA for opening the tournament with a tribute to pub football :clap2:

On the eve of this 2018 World Cup competition, can I please ask that we all pause for a moment and quietly reflect on the 1978 competition, and it's unsung heroes: the Royal Mail Stamp Design Department 'Scotland's World Cup win stamp makes Postal Museum archive'...

So. (as the smart kidz start every statement nowadays). Went to Sussex v Aussies on Thursday.Put in a SIX hour shift til all me bets went down and Salt was out for 62. Game over. Realise I'm a spoilt brat who lives just down the road, loads of far-flung fans would have been GAGGING to be...

Main photo by JJ Waller is particularly drop-dead gorgeous :love:

It's a state of bliss, far removed from the agony and the ecstasy of those clubs going through end of season torment. In the wise words of the blessed St. Bono: "Thank God it's them instead of you" Win 6-0 v Liverpool? Lose 6-0 v Liverpool? It's much of a muchness It's a weekend to savour...

Last thing the players must have felt like on the back of a home defeat was hauling themselves back out again for a Lap Of Appreciation. But they did it, fair play to them, for the benefit of the fans. On a sunny saturday bank holiday afternoon. And after the pitifully small number of fans who...

Nice piece of inspired loonery by whoever came up with the Dick Knight 80th Birthday tribute last night. No idea how far throughout the stadium it reached or if the TV cameras caught it, but hope it gave the great man a chuckle even if the game was more than a bit frantic at that point meaning...

... Bozza was mooting the idea of ghettoising NSC into football/current affairs sections over the summer. Managed to CTRL-C just before the crass closure happened. Sincerely hope not. Many of us would then go elsewhere for our fix. To take a current example, what's this [Israel} thread...

Anybody else getting the board freezing and an 'NSC Page Unresponsive' message? Only noticed it for the first time last night and still happening this morning. No other websites seem to be affected. And, yes, yes I have tried turning it off and on again. Obviously.

Valid criticism of South Asian racial stereotyping or just Generation Snowflake over-thinking things to the point of disappearing up it's own ars* yet again? Well? ??? 'The Simpsons addresses Apu racial stereotype controversy' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-43699224

I'll start with Colin Murray. Why's he on any football highlights program? Why's he on today's COUNTDOWN? How long before he sinks to Songs Of Praise aka the last refuge of People-Who-Just-Want-To-Be-On-The-Telly-At-Any-Cost? I mean, what's he FOR? ???

Calling out to the Great And The Good of NSC who use the London Road Open Market - or indeed anyone who just likes signing petitions for worthy causes... 'Pat Mears has been a trader of the open market since he was 15 years old . Now at 76 years old the market council are taking his liscense...

Well? ???

If you missed it this lunchtime, well worth seeking out when it becomes available on BBC iPlayer. Extremely moving. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43516105 'Hasselbaink retraces steps of football pioneer and war hero Tull Sunday 25 March will be the 100th anniversary of the death of...

Just stumbled across this on a dreary Sunday afternoon. Ostensibly it's about changing dietary trends through the decades, as experienced by a Bradford-based mum, dad and 2.4 kids. In reality it's much much more. Today's episode (5 of 6) covers the 80's and 90's and as such covers the ascendancy...

'NME magazine to end print edition after 66 years' https://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/news/nme-magazine-end-print-edition-66-years/ *sigh* Required Thursday morning reading during our formative punk years. Or as a rare late-night treat on Wednesday nights from the newspaper shack outside...

Probably fixtures, but not on page one of the main board currently, so can't do any harm to flag it up again. This from the club's Pre-Match Brief email... 'Trains: Southern Rail has informed the club that they will be operating a full matchday service. However, there will be a bus replacement...

Well at least according to this muppet who appears to have confused Austria with Australia :lolol: http://www.sportbible.com/football/weird-burnley-striker-ashley-barnes-could-be-a-surprise-world-cup-call-up-20180301 Anyways, Austria manager seems to be looking at him for future use. Quite...
