Swansea winning - Abbott.

Scunny losing. Get in!

Impressive these commentators - "I've just realised, Pogliacomi was at Blackpool last season!"

Anyone else noticed that the official site reports, 'There's also a change in midfield, with Craig Rocastle replacing Gary McDonald. The Scot drops to the bench.' Eh?

Taylor looking 'as fit as a butcher's dog' apparently.

Wellens has made a ropey start. Quiet game really, so far

Exactly, hoping to see (or hear) a return to a stingey defence tonight with Greegs and Will back together again.

Tell you what, we're in trouble tonight. Just been on Blackpool's Rivals board and the consensus there is that Barker is TWICE as good and Pele Clarke and Evatt is better than him an' all. What are we going to do?

We'd hardly be very impressed if the Roughyeds fans were calling on each other to do that to us, would we?

You now listen to it at the Trust website. >>>Listen<<<

Ahhh... Thank you. Oh, and I like the Ronnie picture in your sig.

Welcome, TafkaN. Another JKL'er, if I remember rightly. What's with the name, just out of interest?

I haven't voted because I'm torn over this issue. On the one hand, I do think the pitch suffers, because of the extra wear and tear and reduction in time it gets for 'recovery'. However, there aren't any other real reasons for wanting the rugby out. I'm not a rugby fan, can't stand the sport, but I do hope they can make a go of things. This leads to the other side of the argument; if the rugby were chucked out of BP, they'd be lucky to survive. Let's face it, they will be anyway. If the rugby are part of the BP plans then it will help to ensure that the council and such like view the project in a positive light. It would be nice if a floodlit training facility, with limited spectator facilities, could be included in the project though so that rugby and reserve team football could be played there instead.

Obviously no one will have heard of mine, since I went to school in the north east (Boldon Comprehensive). Mr Fairclough was the name of the teacher who kicked me, full force, round the back of the legs in first or second year for messing about in rugby. I hated rugby so used to take the piss quite frequently. Anyway, he then made me and a couple of mates do three laps of the field. It was no ordinary field. I was all of six football pitches, two rugby and one hockey put together. My next violent encounter with a PE teacher was the delighfully named Mr Huckle and I hate to this day and would happily cave his head in - and usually I'm quite the passivist. We were playing hockey and I was getting stuck in trying to win the ball; he blew up for a foul against me but I didn't hear the whistle. So he kindly came up behind me, put the whistle right in my ear and blew it. It sounds stupid but it was painful. He shouted in my face "Did you hear that?" So I took the hockey stick behind my head ready to knock his head off, before the red mist passed and I barked back "Yes!" and walked off. It wiped the scowl off his ugly mug though.

You should let your siblings know. ;)

Maybe a thread, not sure about a forum though, Bob. Only because it would be redundant most of the time, only for everyone to post 'Happy Birthday' on particular days. I think if people want to pass on birthday wishes, they'd be best just to do so in the Taproom.

It'd be nice if those who voted for other boards would let us know why.

Just spotted that. Maddog

I don't know about that, but I certainly think we're looking at playoffs rather than automatic promotion now.

Finished, outplayed, another injury, another sending off, another defeat.

4 mins to be added, doesn't sound like we'll do owt though.

Smalley on for Charlton.

According to LW, Charlton kicked it out.

By the sound of it, just because Macca's been crap.

Currently, we're not even threatening to equalise. 7 mins left.
