The tin pot trophy........
The U21s away to Wimbledon this evening, in what is virtually a dead rubber - only a massive win for us, and the other result falling exactly our way would see us progress. So, no matching last year's excellent run then.
No PL matches tonight, so will it be on YouTube?
(To be updated as information comes through).

U21s in action tonight looking to get to the semi-finals. Away to West Ham - tough ask. Wonder if there'll be a stream?

Do wonder why this is in the 'Latest news' section of the club...
The hippy folk-singer/songwriter who rose to fame at Woodstock has died. RIP
(The news was tagged on to a very old thread, but I think it warranted a thread of its own, with an appropriate thread title).
Are these threads the brainchild of yet another thread starter who should get out more, or serious discussion of social and peronal preferences? I know where my vote goes ........................................
Our potential handball penalty and the bottled red card completely edited out. Not even a mention of the dodgy ref/VAR decisions. Yes, I know we were outplayed, but even so..........................
Now that the flow of outgoing loanees is starting to accelerate, it seems about time to launch the new season's tracker thread. As per last season I will update this first page as and when more and more head out to EFL, SPL, SFL clubs, and abroad.
I will post any information I unearth about...
Think it's about time to start a scholars and U18's thread for this season - snippets are arriving in various threads already. Like this:

Apologies - the links do look a bit odd...
Haaland vs. Scotland on now (0-0 after 36 minutes).
Jocks have decided they can do without Gilmour in the starting line up (he's on the bench). Ostigard is playing for Norway (presuming that's our one-time Leo Skiri Ostigard?).
First of all the commentator announces, as a fact, that Mac Allister is leaving in the summer. Then the pundits, in dscussion after the highlights, state that our two best players (one of which is Caicedo) are definately leaving this summer.
OK, I know both may well go - but can the f***in'...
Thriller at Lancing today as Albion U21s beat Man. City U21s 3-2. Cracking result, with a Cam Peupion hat-trick, including a last minute winner.
If ever Albion fans needed a bit of cheering up watching the U21s get a win that the first team deserved, today would have been a good time...
The youngsters going like a train - two goals up in less than half an hour. Shame we're not allowed to watch it.

There is a thread about Yasin Ayari - but for some reason it doesn't appear in the Big Board listing. I have scrolled through the listing thread by thread, and it doesn't appear; I've checked against the time of the last post on it - but no, still not there.
As I couldn't find a thread, I...
PL2 fixture - can't find an live coverage (again - once more our U21 matches are scheduled to clash with PL matches, so no coverage allowed).
To follow, this is your lot:

1-0 to the Albion (Ferguson 13) so far.
At 8 o'clock, Sky Sports News announced the one minutes silence, in line with the rest of the media, and the country - and then went straight into adverts! Of all the c**tish behaviour!
Looks like somebody recognosed what a c*** they'd made of themselves - they came back on and announced that...
