"Colemanballs" was of course a regular column in Private Eye which published commentator cockups. It was named after David Coleman for obvious reasons. Personally I thought he was pretty poor and never understood why he got so much air time and power. I realise other people admired him though.

Taunton only need a point now. Farnborough are out of it unless they beat Taunton 6-0, so we just have to avoid Hayes winning and Taunton losing.

Let's face it, hes more often the saviour than the culprit.

Taunton Town currently 1-0 up at Tiverton. Both their main rivals are winning too though.

Pubic image? Bit of a cock?

Glad somebody went - we’ve actually been discussing this league in the other thread “This town ain’t big enough for the both of us”. Taunton’s my local team though I can’t claim to be a supporter. Their recent run has been pretty phenomenal.

A good chance for Taunton now to reach Tier Six for the first time ever in their history.

And Truro have recently beaten Taunton!

I’ve never believed that stuff for a minute. I think he was just a man of extremes - very pleasant when things were going his way and explosively unpleasant when they weren’t. Personally I don’t like people who can’t control their unpleasant instincts.

But they are tonight’s opponents at Taunton - so that’s a tough one.

Treating this now as a thread on this league … I see that Yate have dropped to eighth, Weston remain in the play offs, but Taunton have continued their surge up the table. Tonight they play a game in hand, where a win would put them three points clear in first, with two games to go. The automatic promotion place still looks open to four teams though, ie Hayes, Taunton, Farnborough and Met Police.

The 8500at Wrexham certainly got their money's worth!

It was really weird. I assumed there was some massive deflection, but there wasn’t.

It won’t help. I’m assuming it’s a Titanic allusion. Predicting an unforeseen disaster? Who knows.

It’s not getting the video camera up the bum that is the problem. The worst bit is the tripod.

It’s the usual bollocks from Ivorguy.

It always makes me laugh when City fans grouse about Revie’s “dirty Leeds” - then wax lyrical about Hunter, Cooper and Jordan when they joined us!

I imagine most players ignore the opposition crowd unless they’re provoked first. How do you know Austin hadn’t already had some provocation? Yes, he should probably ignore it, but some players are no better than some fans!

Nice to see Tammy has reached 20 goals for Roma and seems to have won over any doubters.

Matter of taste I suppose. That decor would give me a hangover without having a drink.

There is no “us” or “them” though. Almost none* of us are purely English, Welsh or any other nationality. A bit of family history research soon proves that for most people. Or a DNA test. *PS - I very nearly posted that as “almost nine of us” which may have led to much confusion!

Many Brits generally, and local residents have mixed heritage - and that includes many of us that consider ourselves English but also have Welsh, or Scots or Irish parents. I’m often (slightly) offended by those on OTIB who assume our supporters are 100% English and who happily express hate for the rest of us.

The rule exists to prevent cheating by using your arm. Your suggestion is like giving a penalty if a forward runs into a defender when the defender can’t get out of the way.

Jay Dasilva’s double/standing?

What’s stupid about the intent argument? You think it should be handball whenever a ball is hit at someone’s arm? Intent is absolutely fundamental to me.
