    Even a club like Plymouth coming up automatically with quality and momentum have really started to struggle.

    Imagine if ragtag Rovers sneaked in fluckily through the play offs one year with a squad like theirs at the moment. They wouldn't have the first clue how to compete and I could see a record low points total

     

    Totally agree. I've been saying this for years and years, there is absolutely no point in the GAS getting promoted to the Championship. As Graham C pointed out this division is brutal, and they would get battered week in week out and would most definitely beat the lowest record ever of 23 points by Rotherham. Saying that though it would be bloody funny :laugh: seeing that happen and them frothing at the mouth with each loss.

  2. I've seen this phrase mentioned a lot recently and it got me thinking, if so, why are they not raising their game every game?

    Ipswich spring to mind and it seems looking at the season they are having their players are on it week in week out and it should get them promoted or at least very near.

    Of course we played very well against West Ham, Southampton and Boro, then self imploded when only 5 points off the playoffs with 2 teams at the bottom to play.

    Is it the fact that what many people have already said, we are better playing sides who attack and we pick them off on the counter, and when we play a team that shuts up shop we have no idea what to do?

    Or do the players just play well and raise their game when they feel like it? or when the TV cameras are there?

    No doubt Sheffield U and Burnley  will be in the top 3 next season champoinship.

    Yep, bloody depressing this football lark. I doubt I'll ever see us in the Prem, but seeing what has happened to Burnley and Sheff Utd this season, it all seems pretty pointless.

    I heard a great nickname the other day, not sport's related but it made me laugh. 

    This guy in the pub told me his boss was known as "pothole", because you either wanted to avoid him or fill him in" :)

    I've heard some good ones over the years!

    A guy whose nickname was KitKat as if only had 4 fingers.

    Another with one leg shorter than the others was called Foot Pump

    A guy who was called Thrush as he was an irritating c u next tuesday

    I’m going to miss watching him play every week so much. I really am. 

    Pete, don't do this to us, really hope you've not heard something on the grapevine. Matty was top drawer tonight and we need him signed up asap along with Williams who was also excellent tonight.

    It’s been mentioned on here about 15 times this week that anyone signed after the first game couldn’t be involved in the replay.

    Forest had 3 players missing because of this, I believe.

    Give it a rest will you Mr I'm always Angry. Maybe the OP hasn't seen the 15 times this week, take a frigging chill pill.

  7. There are loads of links from this website but please ensure you have some sort of virus protection just in case.

    https://champagne.pages.dev/online-streaming--dl/live-sports/

    I've never had any issues and there is loads of stuff you can watch via streams.

    Because we've not been selected for overseas coverage as far as I know, any streams will be limited but I'm sure we'll get a couple posted on here fingers crossed!

    That link worked for me thanks, but my PC warned me of Malware on that site. I pressed on regardless and it seems to be OK.

    Unfortunately any stream can be a bit dodgy and I'd think anyone in this day and age would be crazy not to have a virus/scan protection installed, but this site has been really good even if it's just a tracking cookie or something pretty tame that gets flagged up.

    I have Norton and Malwarebytes and they stop the lot, so as you did you can just click and carry on, but if you don't have any protection then I'd definitely think twice before clicking again!

    I remember a hole appearing in the East End crowd at a home game versus West Ham back in the old first division. In the middle was a West Ham fan. Giant of a black man with a white boiler suit and what looked like a machete in his hand. God knows how he got it in. Half a dozen old bill had to take him down. Scary 

    Blimey! I reckon that may have been their Top Boy (ICF) Cass Pennant?

  10. Tin hat on for this, but I really don't think the Lansdown's actually want promotion.

    Why? I can't answer that, but it's just a gut feeling with the lack of a few more quality signings that we can afford to attack the top 6 places.

    Time will tell I suppose. Hope I'm wrong.
