Re: MATCHWATCH : Barnsley (a)

FT 2-2. With Port Vale and Cheltenham both losing that means Reading are now 10 (TEN) points clear of the bottom 4. Port Vale (21st) don't have enough games left to be able to reach 50 points and Cheltenham can only do so if they win all 4 games they have left but would have to make a good 20 goal ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Barnsley (a)

St Pauli As it stands we’re safe- Port Vale will never beat our goal difference.


They're losing so can't catch us.

Burton & Cheltenham are playing each other on Tuesday. Both can't catch us.

We're mathematically safe as it stands

Re: Record Watch 23/24

They must be in serious trouble if they stay down. When the IDC's judgements are published on points deductions, they always detail aggravating and mitigating circumstances. What would it be for Leicester? 12 points for FFP breaches, doubled to 24 for being massive dicks about it? :lol: If Leiceste...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bristol Rovers (a)

I don't think it needs to even be saying anything, could be as little as rolling the eyes, or throwing your arms up or even just a look whenever a younger player does anything wrong; a creeping negativity. He was pretty damning and it felt like it had been stewing. Thing is, I don't think anyone was...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bristol Rovers (a)

I've amended my original post but I'll reiterate, players like Knibbs, Wing and Smith are now the older experienced heads and they've really led by example.

Pure speculation on my part but, given Hutchinson's post match interview at Shrewsbury, I wonder if he was chirping in the background.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bristol Rovers (a)

I seem to remember from video clips of the incident, Selles was saying "Have a go at me but cut the players some slack". The early part of the season was always going to be a struggle with such an inexperienced squad and the upshot of a lot of that flack is that the more experienced player...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bristol Rovers (a)

Argument, in the sense of: Noun - a reason or set of reasons given in support of an idea, action or theory. Ambiguity, the curse of the internet ! It still seems reasonable to suggest that a decision put forward as being bad might not actually have been bad over the longer term. The appointment of ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bristol Rovers (a)

Why would you want to start an argument ? Seems fairly uncontroversial to suggest that particular example might have been ok when looked at over the season.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

But why wouldn't you just go to Stockport or Tranmere? This is something that's close to my heart. It must be so, so tempting just to follow the "big boys" in urban areas like Greater Manchester. I have a lot of time for folk who actually choose to forego the United's, City's and follow t...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

But why wouldn't you just go to Stockport or Tranmere? Not Welsh teams. Wrexham has a large catchment area. Wrexham itself is a small town though, and there isn't that large a population who don't have loyalties to bigger clubs. Wrexham's highest average ever is 11600, and their crowds do seem to d...

Re: The 24/25 Season of Optimism Thread

I think enough of the youngsters have proven this season that they can cope with this division so I really think any transfer activity should focus on any weaknesses in the starting XI. Assuming whoever we want to keep of the OOC players re,-signs, I don't think we need more than 4 new signings. Lef...

Re: Opposition fans back from the game

There were a few comments about how we look a decent team and a few on Bindon's clearance where his commitment and awareness impressed some but generally they're just pissed off about how they are sleepwalking and how clueless Matt Taylor is. General consensus was that we won comfortably but they we...

Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

For clubs like Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen and Kilmarnock maybe but I also think the cost of policing a visit from the Auld Firm isn't worth the extra 1000 people you'll get in your 5000 capacity stadium because their travelling support are absolute dicks. Outside the big cities, most places don't have t...

Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

2 divisions of 20 would absolutely not work in Scotland. When you consider that the SPL is already a 3 tier league, padding that out with another 10 clubs, some of which would be part time would only add fuel to the Auld Firm wanting to leave. It wouldn't work. The SPL is actually an interesting Lea...
