Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

It was pretty random though, with very apt lyrics. Taking it a step further, first indication that Gerry Cardinale is going to be our saviour!

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Crossed my mind last night and seen it being commented today but with PA belting out "three little birds" last night at half time - is that a sign?

Also, impressed how randomly everyone else joined in to sing.

Re: The Non - League thread

If i had the money - Newport IOW would be on my list to buy. Sleeping giant with the population size of the island and just such low ranked football on there. They were close in the 90's and fallen away, lost ground and now playing at East Cowes Vics. Anyway, new ground step closer and return to the...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Charlton Athletic (h)

If we can win this game and make it 7 from 9 against Poxford, Stevenage and Charlton that would be a great return of points!! Charlton should bring a couple of thousand as they're a pretty well supported club and it would be nice to see our fans getting behind the team in real numbers. Another 15,0...

Re: Opposition fans back from the game

But I’ll make an exception Anyone noticed we kicked in to the wind both halvesAnyone noticed we kicked in to the wind both halves Had this been standard Saturday fixture I think we’d have trounced them. The stats don’t lie and we ab...

Re: Rival Watch

Anyone seen Carlisle's solitary goal against Bolton? Referee had an absolute shocked. Ball goes out of play, 10 yards from half way line, attacker picks up a spare multi ball down towards corner flag, cross and scored. Just dont know how he allowed that to happen. Not good. Fortunately had no impact...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Dellor got a few articles coming out on Friday. However, he was clearly alluding to the fact that the dark days are over and takeover is moving with pace with a full sale complete early April.

Re: Refereeing

Here's as good a place as any to put it as I keep forgetting. Jnr II's team had a really good ref doing their match a couple of weeks ago. Made clear decisions and talked to the players throughout explaining why he had or hadn't given decisions and praised the kids for good play. Little things like...

Re: Refereeing

Old friend of mine was close to getting to be an official in the PL (he was in the 'select group') but didn't make it due to continual knee issues and had to give up. He was a big Man Utd fan but put Wimbledon down as his club as they were close to where he was from and knew it would be believed. S...

Wolves game on Tuesday night a linesman gets injured and can't carry on, 4th official takes over but they have no spare 4th official. Matey in the crowd says he will do it as he already does some coaching and refereeing for the local under 12s. Only thing he had to be shown was how to use digital b...
