Port Said Red

My impression looking around the parks etc, that there is lot less “kickabout” football these days, so if I had a lad who wanted to play I would be grateful for the opportunity of well organised training. As for which is best, I have no idea, but I would clearly be biased in favour of our set up.

Makes sense, and would also explain why he hadn’t kicked up a fuss during his tenure, only at the end.

It is huge but they offered to pay it and you can’t blame Campbell for trying to get it. No matter how much he might have accumulated as a player, I am sure £180k is not chicken feed. Their board must have been desperate or fraudulent to offer so much.

I remember going to the gate with my wife when we played Swindon. We sat in the enclosure and the more the jokers behind the bench tried to wind him up the more he laughed, and gave stick back. He clapped our fans at the end and they clapped him back, it was really good to see.

It took me a while to find it but the prize money for getting to and winning the thing seems to be just over £300k. They get 20k for taking part and the early rounds they get 10k for a win and 5k for a draw. Round 2 (last night) they got 20k, as you say, it must have cost around half of that to stage the game. The prize money jumps up from here on though, and you would imagine all those “boycotting” will throw those concerns aside to go to Wembley, which will add to the income. It could keep them in business a bit longer. It will be interesting to see what their gate is on Saturday, as they could move into the play off places as they are playing Southend.

Looking at tonight’s results I noticed that Manchester Utd U23 had a player sent off in 90+17 minutes. I have no idea what occurred but with VAR we are seeing later and later finishes, so maybe this will become common place.

I am seriously worried about my memory these days. I have none when it comes to about 4 of these players and had completely forgotten that Marc Joseph played for us, although do remember as a player from that time. Tony Grant, Adam Green, Jamie Smith and Rob Burch mean nothing to me at all.

That's disgraceful, I have seen the stuff that BT put's on Twitter etc about our loanees and it's like a novel in comparison.

That Cock Foster

Someone told me they saw a game down there recently and Cundy had a ‘mare. I would have thought GJ would replace him if that was the case though.

I do like a good sporting feud, especially when it concerns people I would have little or no interest in normally. This appears to be a pretty good one, also interesting to see that Monk claims he was sacked by text! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50562284

Me? I go from one extreme to another.

In all seriousness, he can't play. How would it look if he had a 'mare and gave the game away?

At least Shrewsbury wont have their first choice goalkeeper playing.

Oh No........ First time I have seen those highlights, would it be wrong to say I thought the Rovers goal was rather good?
