Strange with Elliott - was getting picked when not playing regularly, breaks through as a regular, dropped by his country. Can only assume it is because of the fact he won't have played for over a month by the time of the games. Could be a fitness thing or the manager has decided to look at some di...
Scottish League Cup announced new prize fund today. A team that enters and loses every group game will get £36k. A side entering Round 1 in England only makes that money if they reach the quarter finals. The Scottish League Cup has a much more equitable prize money with the Scottish Cup (notwithsta...
Couldn't seem to find a general thread for our players on international duty, so I though I'd create one. Looking over the summer, it's possible a number of our players will be away. New Zealand play in the Oceania Nations Cup, so Bindon will probably be involved in that. New Zealand also feature in...
He's currently at Sparta Rotterdam who play in the Dutch Conference League play-off semi-final (winners qualifying for the Conference League) on Thursday night.
Five over-age players and one over-age keeper: https://www.premierleague.com/news/2677866 However that was for the season 2022/23 when the format was changed from under 23 to under 21 and might have been a transitional phase. Confusing now because the Premier League are also saying for 2023/2024 th...
It's here under definitions: So, unless I'm mistaken, anyone 20 or under on 1 Jan. 2024 will qualify as U21 for the forthcoming season. Thank you - didn't think it would be as early as January. So that gives another season of U21 football for CBC, Borgnis and Wareham and only three starters from ye...
assuming the cut of date for playing U21 football is at the start of the season... It's here under definitions: ‘Under 21 Player’ means a Player under the age of 21 as at the 1 January in the year in which the Season concerned commences. So, unless I'm mistaken, anyone 20 or under on 1 Jan. 2024 wi...
Yep. Noel Hunt was going nuts when we did not take the quick throw in. And when we took the throw, we immediately surged up the pitch. Had we done that with a quick throw, we could've easily scored from it. He similarly went nuts when we took a quick inaccurate freekick punt upfield to one player w...
Cannot say CBC kicking straight into touch was a tactic - the Reading coaching staff were losing their shit when he did it the second time. As said, just poor game management from the team on two occasions that led to goals. Were they also losing their shit when one of our players decided to waste ...
Gutted for the lads. A very exciting game of end to end but not helped by some very dodgy refereeing. Did not think it was a foul at the end that led to the goal. No idea what Borgnis’s first yellow was for although second was justified. But the boys did us proud. Typical Reading - glorious in defe...

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Manchester City get relegated down to L1 or even L2, and have all of their trophies stripped of them as part of the punishment when the Premier League FINALLY get around to having a look at those 115 charges........... I think the Premier League are looking a...
Sky Sports not even showing the Arsenal game? They seem to have the City game and Liverpool games on TNT have it (TNT Sports 1). Sky have Man City-West Ham (Main Event); Liverpool-Wolves (Premier League) and Chelsea-Bournemouth (Football & Arena). Sky in not believing there's anything to play f...
Very pleased for Liam Kelly Talent wise he was good enough for the Championship. There was obviously some sort of attitude or mental health issues earlier in his career. Fair play, he looks to be moving beyond them and he has absolutely dominated the play offs. Difference maker in semi final and fi...
Cirencester Town have asked for and received voluntary demotion from the Southern league. Looks like it’s the Hellenic league for them. ...seemed fairly obvious that they were in the cross-hairs for an enforced transfer back west : SL1S. Expect they anticipated and baulked at the eye-watering trave...
The list of sides we'll be playing next season is: ⋅ Barnsley ⋅ Birmingham City ⋅ Blackpool ⋅ Bolton Wanderers ⋅ Bristol Rovers ⋅ Burton Albion ⋅ Cambridge United ⋅ Charlton Athletic ⋅ Crawley Town ⋅&nbs...
