At the big local Darlington concert today. Not Tom Jones or Olly Murs, but Biscuithead and the Biscuit Badgers. Marvellous fun. Baige, cheese, tweed, bits dropping off. Great stuff. 

At least someone brought up McGarvey. He was horrible to watch, but did follow alot of great players, so probably seemed worse than he was. If Feeney followed anyone else mentioned on here he'd look like a fan on the pitch. 

For anyone.hypothetically, who in this current squad is better than the kid at school that had to touch the ball with his hand before kicking it?

Baxters dismissal was probably down to the frustration of playing with poor players.

Baxter was getting tugged back off the ball all the time and gradually losing his rag. But, in today's world that is a sending off for me. 

As for folk going on about a bunch of kickers, I don't think they are giving Lincoln any way near enough credit. I thought they were a neat if strong side. The left back had a belter. I think they are due a bit of credit. 

To be fair, in the old rules he was offside as the ball went forward. That was magnificent linesmanning and all who were critical should bow before him.

After shouting at the telly in the pub, that O'Grady sub was excellent. 

Martin Gray continues his rise up the football ladder as Sporting Director at Shildon.

Why only one arm raised? Shows no passion...Bunn out! 

If nowt else, he'll make a cracking umpire.

Chris Swailes manages Dunston UTS to victory over Chester (3 leagues above), and one round away from the first round proper. They are the lowest team left in the cup. Deane Smalley scored for Chester. 

If we aren't picking Alli I can't wait to see who steps in. What is he? Must be a top five provider of chances and one of the better scoring midfielders in the whole of the top division. And that is a bad season. 

I have to admit, this is pretty much the squad I'd have taken. The odd one here or there maybe debatable but none of any real consequence.

Some very interesting games down at the bottom in League 1 this weekend... I’m looking at them and I couldn’t possibly tell you what results I’d want from them. 

 

So so many teams play each other. 

Well, you want Bury to drag Northampton down with them

Doncaster to knock twenty past MK

Obviously Oldham to stuff Gillingham

Peterborough to do Rochdale

Southend to beat Oxford

Walsall to paste Wimbledon.

I suspect they won't all happen though...

A bit of stretch on that one. The game they played was after Man Utd at Old Trafford, so only 13 people paid between the games to watch only the Stockport game. 

They do seem to have jumped in with both feet in this though, rather than maybe a more gradual approach of starting with offsides/goals after the ball has been near going out of play, then move on to positions of fouls around the penalty area.

Judging fouls and such seem a fair step forward from a standing start.

Dux putting us 2-0 up at City moments after Kelly's penalty save - March '99

 

You know when you are asked the best moment in your life and you give the right answer (or wrong in their strange deranged mind)...

I hope we all noticed on the weekend, the utterly amazing happening. After 58 times in a row over 13 years, United weren't on TV in their FA Cup tie.

Is this the round they shift half the games to the Sunday for TV purposes or have they stopped that nonsense?

Watched South Shields do a number on Scarborough at their brand new ground.

Bad news guys. Martin Gray has gone to York...

South Shields v Hartlepool. That has local hilarity written all over it.

York City in 6th Tier dumped out by Eighth Tier South Shields

Though a good result, I'd say don't get too giddy with the difference in leagues, as Northern League clubs as a whole have held off on promotion as it is not really cost effective to do so. A few are taking the gamble now and are quickly going upwards (Spennymoor and Shields). Shildon have held back for years now, and can't think they will have a go anytime soon (Bishop Auckland are the only ones who look likely).

His ability with no knees, to get the ball in midfield and just turn around losing the opposition midfielders was completely remarkable -  from the moment he arrived from Donny . Then he'd obviously lay off a nice easy pass.

On the bad side, his ability to bugger off and leave my namey thing rather irrelevant is getting annoying now.

Isn't Gillingham the ace one for this? Covers about a million and a half people in Kent with only London clubs about an hour away at best.

Note with the online ones you need to go through an extra bit of the free local transport bit, point 14 I think it is on that.

I've only seen it from the wrong end (could only go in with Bayern fans), but the large home end made the ground move that day. 

...and as i said on the other thread, it was fairly well publicised last year that he is on sixteen thousand a week.

Bolton have told Ben Amos he can leave with 2 years left on his contract. I assume they will want a fee. don't think he played a game for them last season and spent most if not all of it on loan at Cardiff

16k a week. I think they'd have to pay about a million for someone to take him.
