Northern Red

How can that be pitching in line? Umpires call at best.

I'd give him a runout with the U21s. Needs some minutes and if he's not trusted to come on in a situation like today then you wonder how much we'll see of him.

And would anybody trust the people making the decision?

That was shite and I hope he doesn't try and defend it.

Here we go...

Really? Given that we've only got 8 subs, what do you think?

Undeserved.

But enough about Busted, what about Kings Of Leon?

They caused a lot of bother at Villa Park earlier in the competition.

I saw them in Wrexham last year, they were brilliant. And I say that as someone who can take or leave most of their stuff.

There's no conspiracy or flouting of the rules, it's up to the player's club to decide what action to take.

Yes, if they were a certain distance down the pitch then they shouldn't be given out. Went out of window with DRS.

Robinson and Bashir in for Wood and Ahmed. Some suggestions that Stokes might bowl.

She suffered badly from it when she had her first baby. I think it improved as the pregnancy progressed so she was able to work, but it sounded awful. Best wishes to her.

Ah shit

The communication around the Cardiff kick off time was certainly a triumph....

There's the relative strength of leagues to consider too. I do think with players coming in from abroad there's always going to be uncertainty over how they'll do, whether they settle and are suited to it.

Like it or not, he will get the summer, and he will be backed. Though I don't think there'll be the massive turnover of players that some are expecting, bearing in mind that we've already done some business.

I think there was some expectation that he was going to be released last summer, but he got a year's extension which may have partly been because we weren't sure what was happening with Bajic at the time.

Was definitely the last season of it. We would have been away at Man Utd in the next round.

Always remember the Sunderland away game that season. It was live on Sky, they scored early and absolutely battered us but Welch had the game of his life to keep it at 1-0, then Andersen bagged a late point from just about the only time we got near their goal all night.

That Crewe away game was the one that did for us, coming off the back of the Birmingham game where Peter Ndlovu and Mike Dean cheated us out of the points.

Any chance you lot can do this on one of the umpteen other threads instead of taking this one off topic?
