  1. Until Football League clubs start standing up for themselves, they will continue to be ignored by the powers that be. I'd love to see them stick together and refuse to enter the FA Cup next season.
  2. I don't get why the end of season lap of honour is even a thing. It's cringeworthy seeing it after a season of mid table obscurity.
  3. I cannot hear the word 'Exodus' without singing the same in my head
  4. I'm confused by Barton's answer. He has 8 witnesses to an incident he says was fabricated?
  5. Anyone got a link? Google hasn't helped me. In fairness to Ben White, as I haven't seen it, I can't comment on that particular incident. But play acting in general is a blight on our game and will only get worse until retrospective action is taken. Fabio Silva spent more time performing gymnastics yesterday - and it won him a penalty- rather than trying to score and pretty much every game will have some player trying to con a ref. It's embarrassing and boring.
  6. I was stupidly missing the joke about Barton.
  7. I remember that one. Our goal came at the Tote End, a cross from a free kick held up in the wind and ****** up City's offside trap, leaving 3 Rovers onside around the 6 yard box
  8. Ha ha yes, I had forgotten that.
  9. Yes, but I hope not fall out. I think what people on my side of the fence need to recognise is that a substantial amount of people in this country do have- albeit I believe unfounded- fears that they are being demonised within their own country. Politicians need to recognise that WITHOUT just shit stirring and telling some blatant porky pies. Hopefully there is a leader out there who can unite an increasingly divided society. Sadly , I don't see one at the moment.
  10. Yes, I'm all up or an extra bank holiday It won't be long before a political party sees that as a vote winner and puts it in their manifesto. However, then we would see one of the real problems with the way society is going. Companies would be allowed to not officially recognise it and it would be of no benefit to their staff whatsover, a common practice in nursing care which my wife works in .
  11. But he wasn't mocking that was he? Certainly not how I read it.
  12. I'm happy to say it was before my football watching time I'm a mere spring chicken still- by a gnats whisker- in my 50s.
  13. They changed the colour on the Saltire on a kit a while back, no one said a dicky bird. Do you honestly think this an 'attempt to wipe out everything English' . Does that not sound a wee bit OTT when you read it back to yourself? I don't see anything wrong with having pride about where you come from, but to hinge all that on a flag? I really, really don't get it. Speaking specifically about Englishness, every year- I've seen once already this year- social media will carry a lot of posts about St Georges day, how everyone else celebrates theirs, but we aren't 'allowed' to, like and share etc etc.it absolutely baffles me, who is stopping anyone celebrating it, and do the Scottish and Welsh really celebrate theirs that much? I,ve been in Scotland on numerous St Andrews days and apart from a view 'St Andrews day special offers' things in shops, absolutely nothing else is going on. I think many patriotic Englishmen have been well and truly conned and whipped into a frenzy by horribly skewed media.
  14. He's literally just explained that he wasn't mocking the flag for Scooter.
  15. I would imagine fans went anywhere then. Next month sees the 50th anniversary of my first game and there was no segregation at that game.
  16. I suspect some really old ******* remember it
  17. Like I said, I could not give a flying **** about any flag.
  18. To who though? I'm a bit of an old school lefty and could not give a flying **** about it. The thing is, the voices heard on social media, from left and right, are people being vocal, because that's what social media is. I suspect that there are vast numbers of us- left and right- don't really get all that upset over such trivialities as a design on a football shirt.
  19. That 4-1 was my first ever derby- we went 1 up as well I think? I still shudder about that and the - in my eyes- 1 nil up 2-1 down. The OP being a bit sniffy about the attendance, may do well to check other crowds of the time. Yes, City have always had the bigger crowds, but just under 10k in 1986 would have been a good attendance by most clubs standards.
  20. I'm normally pretty good on knowing players from the 70s and early 80s, but I just stumbled upon your lot playing Forest on the Big Match revisited and you had an Alan Nicholls playing for you. I have no recollection of him whatsoever and Google only showed one article which appeared to be hidden behind a paywall. So, Alan Nicholls, who he?
  21. Good for Wrexham. I work there a bit and there is a real buzz about the whole town now with a community fully engaged with their local football team, what's not to like? The owners clearly have a real connection to the club and town and after the owners they have had in the past , the fans deserve a bit of good fortune. Good owners are few and far between, I still don't get the hostility towards your own. Under him you know get what, 22/23k per game? Literally trebling our attendances and a stadium that several Premier league sides would be envious of.
  22. I don't know the answer to your second sentence, but I would hope that was true. He is far too decent a man to air any dirty laundry in public.
