Because of illness and travel I rarely have chance to get to Boundary Park. What a joy to see 2 good teams playing delightful football in an exciting end to end encounter. Some of the midfield play from both teams was an absolute delight. Maouche just shaded man of the match for me as he controlled the speed of attack and kept the ball better. His pass for the first goal was premiership quality. Nepo showed real class, Scilla put in a huge shift and Missilou not only broke up play but set attacks going and held the ball well. Great day out.

Sapere Aude was the motto for Oldham Borough Council. The shield is also the shield for Oldham Borough Council. I believe the translation is Dare to Know.

Dunedin is further than me. I am in Christchurch so a couple of hundred miles less.

Well it was not me. I have not been to Howick. I am in Christchurch at the moment. I expect a message after Crawley John Boy.

TP?

The liverpool 42000 was made up mainly of Liverpool fans. There was no segregation in those days so we were all together. The Goal that hit the post and bounced down and out was awarded against us by a referee srood in the centre circle. The Linesman also could never have seen if it crossed the line but they gave it anyway. Our dissallowed goal started with Bobby Johnstone as our player furthest foward as we were backs to the wall. He received the ball in our half of the centre circle and kept 2 liverpool players mesmerised. He then looked at Bert Lister who was still in our half and pointed to were he wanted to go. Lister was still inour half when Bobby sent this ballooning ball towards the right corner flag which bent till it was landing on the left side of the penalty area and straight on Lister's foot and into the net. We all went wild till the offside flag went up as the linesman obviously could not believe Lister had got so far clear without being offside. The Liverpool fans near me booed the referee of the pitch because they thought they should have beaten us without the incompetent referee.

The Roughyeds never paid a penny for using Boundary Park. That included us paying the turnstile attendants and catering staff.

I have been watching us since 1953. This is what it was like when the only reason we were not chucked out of the league was the number of Lancashire teams that voted for us so their travelling expenses were less.

First shot by Forest Green and they score. End of game.

On you tube he looks really good at falling down at the least possible touch,

I never mentioned the formation of the premier league. i meant this particular competition were the fans were consulted. . The fans said no. The PL offered more money and the clubs said yes.

I wish the myopic could look back and see how the football league clubs so easily succumbed to Premier League money against the wishes of their fans. It is only a matter of time and a new tv deal before they cave in again to B teams. I will not be at Wembley. I will not watch it on tv. When the inevitable b teams arrive I will boycott those matches.

My subscription has now run out. I will not be renewing as the price has increased considerably and I have missed far too many goals because it was not working. I am tired of that stupid and unmusical dirge and commentators being cut off in mid sentence at the end of the match. I am tired of the apologies for poor service.

The real problem is not shown on the video. Wright twice got away with elbowing Earl Barret in the face withina couple of minutes.Both were quite deliberate and sendings off. Earl was still seeing two of everything a moment later when Wright scored. At the end you can see Earl confronting him. He should not have been on the pitch to score.

Back on now but I have not got a full game all season so far. Rubbish service.
