Saw my gas mates yesterday for the first time in ages,  they're both totally relaxed about the stand. Just an extension they say,  bound to get permission,  must have had the nod etc etc..... got two words for you says I

 And the standard of goalkeeping is still pretty poor.

Not sure about that but i think there's a debate to be had about the size of the goal. The players ability to beat the keeper from just about anywhere can't just be about lack of technique or training.

Maybe it's just part of the women's game?

As opposed to us wondering why the keeper can't get to something we would expect a male keeper to.

That is pretty brutal.

I'm not saying 'no' but you have to convince me and until then, you'll be getting nothing.

Not been paying attention and correct me if I'm wrong but i saw a story in the evil post, or whatever it is,  to the effect that the gas started work on the stand BEFORE being granted permission?  

what the actual ****?

2,000 crowd,pitch invasion after the winner,amazing game not even mentioned on points west footie round up earlier. 

Great for gloucester city who have a good loyal band of supporters amidst the man u and Liverpool "fans" of gloucester plus the rugby

I was there.. my mate, non league enthusiast, talked me into it. He wanted us to be" neutral" so we were in the away side as it was quieter. 

Decent enough game, both teams tired 2nd half in the sun. Chorley went 3-1 up and celebrated long and hard with the travelling support,  which was fair enough, but they definitely switched off and City made it 2-3 within 5 mins via a sub with a close range header.

The tigers then put together a lovely move ending with a great ball in from Tommy O' Sullivan, who was my man of the match, for the sub to score with another close range header before winning it in stoppage time with a panicking Chorley leaving a man unmarked at the far post to volley in. 

Cue scenes. Tough on Chorley.

Unless by some miracle York go down, 3 teams are destined to be relegated to the NL South keeping Gloucester City and Hereford United where they are and one other team looking to be heading North from the current league. 

Going to watch glos tomorrow...vs... Chorley? 

Bet fair have Rafa favourite@4/1

Would be pricey....

Were you really? I live in the next village over. In fact I was in BG today!

It was Blackwell actually. I was born next to the garage opposite the golf course heading out towards Bromsgrove. 

Spent a fair part of my young life in Barnt Green sports club tho!

Ahh, got my hopes up for a minute... good luck to Antoine btw 

I read last night, on bbc i think, that he'd failed his medical and the deal was off?

Just now, Coin-op said:

Can anyone explain what a forced turnover is? Also what is a defensive line break? Are these for American audiences? Not heard (seen) these before. 

A turnover is any time, outside of downs,   the team with the ball loses control of the ball to the other team usually via an interception ,a fumble from a ball carrier,  sacking the qb or stripping the ball.

Tony.

Now you're talking,  Tony Currie,  i was a Leeds fan as a nipper and he was class for a while... Sniffer Clarke was my favourite tho, bit before Currie. 

He was once voted Sheffield utds best player of all time and still works there as community liaison officer .

No I am assuming that the ones booking into the hotel are not Mancunian.

I am taking my wife to see Robbie Williams in Manchester tonight (all sympathy gratefully received :l) The hotel we are staying in is full, it's about 1/4 of a mile from the venue. The thing is, it's not all Robbie fans, a large number of the people here have Utd shirts or scarves etc, confirming that age old conception that most of their fans don't come from Manchester at all. 

So.... you're in Manchester at a gig... and there's loads of people wearing man u shirts and you're assuming that none of them are Mancunian ? What am I missing

Some charts from last night:

Matty James - who he passes to / gets passes from and his actual passes.

Same format for Joe Williams:

Max’s kicking…

Big Rob’s aerial duels, the target of Max’s kicks, but 10 yards infield as opposed to Saturday:

All our aerial duels, grouped into 3 main areas:

West Brom’s crosses….mainly from wide / outside of the box.

…and here’s ours v Cov (h)

Thanks Dave, Matty James, and Williams tbf,  there to take it off Klose Atkinson and sykes.. that's what i want to see as an ex centre half not everyone running away,  but neither of them picking up from Vyner I see....
