But he wasn't mocking that was he? Certainly not how I read it.

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.

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.

He's literally just explained that he wasn't mocking the flag for Scooter.

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.

I suspect some really old ******* remember it

Like I said, I could not give a flying **** about any flag.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Keith Brookman, is a thoroughly, thoroughly decent bloke.

No, signed, amusing video completed, ready to play tomorrow. Unlucky da shit.

I'm still using old money.

A Tillson, obviously.

Okay, to satisfy the pedants, from what I have heard , the Evening Post were reporting on information given, rather than doing the actual exaggerating.

No, it wasn't him. Has he been picking on you or something?

As you were chaps, reliable sources tell me that our new man 'John' was priced at a very reasonable 81% of a Tillson. It seems someone may have been exaggerating

Bearing in mind his recent article about the owners, that's one thing he isn't.

Rumour has it, we may have just splashed out over a Tillson on a player .

**** me you're a miserable lot! What's wrong with a little reminder now and then of what must have been a great memory for a lot of you. Football's a bout having fun and memories, make the most of it! FWIW younger viewers may not realise just how staggering your result at Leeds was in 74. It's fair to say hen you beat Liverpool , they weren't quite what they were- or even what they are now- but Leeds were undeniably the top team in the country at the time. Anyway, I'm off to commemorate our play off win at Crewe in the 90s.

Ironic isn't it. I'm pretty sure I'm right in saying that a protest by the Rovers board led to the regulations being changed. We were away at Stoke who ran a promotion meaning we were charged considerably more than their fans to sit in the same stand. The Dunfords and the rest of the board refused to take boardroom hospitality and sat in the away section.

Bury never won the Watney Cup though.
