Is anyone travelling by car from the East Midlands to the Paint Pot match at Shrewsbury? If anyone can offer me a lift, I would be ever grateful.
I will be in Leicestershire next week, with work (working in Leicester, staying in Quorn). Although it is perfectly possible (if a little tight) to...
Don't you just love it when the news pages won't name the arrested, but give you all the hints you need?
BBC NEWS | England | Two held over football corruption
Ahem, Karen Brady in 39 and David Sullivan is 59.
British league football's first champions of the season - Scottish Div3 secured today with a 3-0 away win at East Stirling. They've won 24 of their 30 league games so far, and are 24 points clear of second-placed Montrose with 6 games remaining. :ohmy:
Pity their ground has the ugliest view in...
... playing for Rhyl FC against Llangefni Town. Here are a couple of clues - he's Welsh, he's a striker and, when he came on as a substitute, he was completely crap.
Take your bow, Mr David Cameron.
...you can always bounce back.
The mighty East Stirlingshire - one of my favourites football days out (see sig) - won again tonight. That's the first time they've won 6 in a row since 1968. Not bad from a team which has finished rock bottom of the Scottish League for the last five seasons.
All...
Losing Scunthorpe, Bradford, Chesterfield & Rotherham from next season's fixture list; gaining only Leeds, Hartlepool & perhaps Lincoln. Pish.
Less games for those of us up north unable to regularly make it to home games; fewer trips to proper towns selling proper beer for the southerners.
Can't be often I'm first back from a game...
God only knows what that first half performance was about - I can honestly say I haven't seen us play that badly for several seasons.
Last year, against the odds, we stayed up.
This season represents an extra season in the top half of the league. That is all.
Next season we will be back at our natural level - winning in the highest reaches of the third tier.
I'm looking forward to Brunton Park already.
Are you still looking for transport to Sunderland on the BHAlba minibus? You and your brother can still have seats if you want them.
I've tried to pm you, but the system won't let me.
Just been announced - Hearts are to sell Tynecastle to a property developer and share at Murrayfield (conditional on the agreement of an EGM). Bearing in mind that a majority of shares is held by Chris Robinson (the Chief Executive, who has paid himself a fat salary while complaining at the...
Grimsby dump that useless fuckwit Nicky Law - it's only a pity for their sake they didn't get rid of the cheating moron earlier (or not appoint him at all):
Law leaves Grimsby
Relegated Grimsby have revealed they will have a new manager next season.
Nicky Law, who had been in charge since...
I know that we have much weightier thoughts on our minds today, but I just wanted to mention England's good start to their first innings: Trescothick and Strauss both appoaching a century (this post will probably now be the kiss of death)
A number of us will be in Sportsters or O'Neill's in Stirling for the play-offs. You are more than welcome to join us.
You can email me on mn4@stir.ac.uk if you want to confirm where we will be or need directions.
I have a dream...
1st May:
Carlisle 2-0 Cheltenham
York 2-0 Orient
8th May:
Orient 0-1 Cambridge
Doncaster 0-1 Carlisle
I think I remember Twatty saying at the beginning of the season that this would be the year in which Orient got themselves out of Div3. It would be a shame for him to be...
After yesterday's result (a 3-0 win), AFC Wombles are the Champions of the Seagrave Haulage Combined Counties League. How's that for a wonderful piece of symmetry with last week's relegation of MK Dons?
Well, letter from Sian Norris-Copson, the "Leader's Aide".
My original email had noted the role another former LibDem MP for the area had played in bringing the club to its present position, and suggested that Charles Kennedy might wish to indulge in a little repair work regarding his party's...
