May stay local and go to Reading Town on Saturday for the FA Vase v Cowes Sports alternatively BSS for Maidenhead at home to Dorchester. ... Big question is whether 'Razor' is still suspended - from what my mate heard at the FA Sunday Cup game @ Scours last week it isn't clear if anyone @ RTFC know...

I'm going to Willand Rovers on saturday for a 3rd round FA Vase game, Falmouth are the visitors, i think they are two leagues below Willand, who are top, but it's difficult to work out, should be a decent day out. .... Not sure there's a 2 STEP gap: The SWP feeds the Western but it's Premier Divisi...

I do admire your commitment to the cause FOC! How on earth do you get away with it at home lol. ...quite simply - I don't - always. :P Luckily we juggle our respective hobbies and the three kids have activities that either fit in or don't; for one or other, or sometimes both of us - then we really ...

I believe... that Chelsea are currently ahead on away goals. In the CL it's not done on GD, it's done on results between teams on level points. So: Chelsea win - they go through on points. Chelsea draw 0-0 - they go through on away goals. Chelsea draw 1-1 - they lose out on GD. Chelsea draw 2-2 or ...

Brilliant game between Milan and Barca. Can anybody tell me why they're showing Chelsea above Valencia in the table? They drew 1-1 in Spain and Valencia have a better goal difference with the same amount of goals scored? ...I'm pretty befuddled with it all too - CL site has Chelski 2nd but with inf...

... Well - I opted for an FA VASE replay last night - mad semi-legal dash along the M4 :? - freezin' cold - swirly mist - crappy lager at half time - and the best goal I've seen scored this season - which shone out like a Sapphire in a Bucket of Sh!t ### - made the whole thing worthwhile - but then ...

iPod won't let me edit big 'posts' so using a new one :

Tonight's Vase replay Binfield 0-0 Ringmer AET Moles progress 5-4 on pens - now host Hellenic rivals Flackwell Heath on 3rd Dec

Murphy I think, they said someothing about playing Villa last year and about Friedel being busier "when he played us" so I thought that was Fulham Very poor ..... Naah ... Shirley Knott. :? Murph's a Scouser (well Chester to be more precise).. This guy had a kind of N Yorkish Wilkinsonesq...

Silver Fox I've just switched the football on, who the hell is the dullard doing "colour" commentary?

.... No idea but he's just been called 'Danny' ... Mills perhaps?

Makes Gary Neville sound like Attenborough - he's so flaccid in delivery my picture keeps going to sleep!

I'm sure Reading Town made it to the third round last season when they got knocked out by Cadbury Heath as almost certain the game I went to against Warlingham was in the second round. First Tower Utd are/were from Jersey - not sure if they're still around though. ...correct - I only looked on FCHD...

Reading Town at home to Cowes Sports in the third round of the FA Vase. Spooky I was just thinking about the draw - here's the 'southern' part - - one or two groundshares around so maybe a Fri/Sun tie? ... matches to be played w/e 3rd/4th Dec Hanworth Villa v Herne Bay Bethnal Green United v Sporti...

Looking forward to Farnham Town v Windsor on Tuesday. Can't be worse than the shite I saw on Sunday. ... possible I might make this one too - - though I usually get well delayed on a Tuesday dropping off youngest at Cubs - this week I think I'm s'posed to double-check his medical details are record...

May be worth a bit more checking, my bro in law tells me James Alexander Gorden lives in Caversham and is a ding fan,although I can't find anything on the web to confirm it. ... a bit of urban myth ongoing here p'raps - I'd heard he lived in Toilehurst? :? ...

Yup - 1st yr they entered 96/7 got to the 4th -bt First Tower Utd (Jersey?) on the way

... and of course not forgetting the B&B Saturday Intermediate Cup ties this Saturday 19th - thought I'd put them on here before the full Preview : ... nice mix of local STEP6 & 7 clubs still in it from N.Berks, E.Berks, RFL, Wycombe & District, South Mids etc NB KO times will be earlier...

Two more B&B Trophy ties last night (Tue) : Holyport bt Aylesbury Utd 2-1 RTFC won 1-0 @ Wok & Em but their Reserves go out of the Southern Combination L1-6 @ Westfield - they'd been entering their Firsts in this until this season even got to the Final & won it last season or the one bef...

Ah ha! Because Sheffield United also got a home draw and came out of the hat first, Wednesday would have to play their game on the Sunday by the looks of it. ..... Not necessarily - word on 'Owlstalk' is that both clubs will KO @ 15:00 on the Sat as neither ground will be anywhere nr full ; & a...
