  1. Lovely post. I wish there were more posters like you with no agenda. its a real breath of fresh air. Just sick of posters trying to satisfy self inflated ego's but worst of all trolls with self inflated ego's. it might go tits up with the team. Who knows but i like the football much more than in recent years so far and that makes it so much more bearable to handle the defeats when competing on our size of budget and fan base.
  2. Me too. The 11-0 verses Southport is the most bizarre match I ever watched. Snow everywhere on the pitch. If I remember rightly I yhink we lost our next match at Southport 7-3??? Correct me if I'm wrong!
  3. Exactly and frankly why should I or anybody be interested in Wilsons need to tell us when he is coming to a match or not. If we all felt the need to do this the site would descend into total boredom.
  4. Just noticed that Hartlepool is the only team to have scored less goals than us this season which supports the concensus that we sit back too much. However we cant be that bad at the back to be only -3 goal average having scored so few and only having 23 points.
  5. Love the reply. I think you Welsh lot have had more than than your fair share of being dealt dodgy dealings by our lot.
  6. So you mean treason and dodgy dealings as per usual from sir William Stanley. It really had nothing to do with any Lancashire and Yorkshire rivalry whatsoever but had a lot to do with the fact that southern nobility didnt like the idea of a monarch whose main support came from across the north of England. (proudly a member of the Richard III society and proudly a Lancashire lad) (a pet subject on which i get a bit touchy so take no notice ha ha)
  7. So with the Doncaster match being cancelled will this help as it is a match less without Weslowski?
  8. Thanks Diego. I like to here about our ex players and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Especially when there is little news of interest. I'm also sure you will be ignoing those up their own arses.
  9. A close friend of mine is a groundsman at Leicester. He said to me at the time he came to us that that he was highly respected at Leicester for what its worth.
  10. So an unknown player has turned down a loan move to boundry park after his club grant permission for him to play with us. Any ideas who?
  11. There used to be a bit of elitism and a defined "incrowd" that if you were not part of you tended to get stick on this site. A lot of that has gone now. Unfortunately its probably fans we have lost for good. I suppose its better to have the fans and put up with it really but having said that the site has been a lot more civilised of late. Still think its a good forum and will visit as often as I can.
  12. Makes you think he has really upset somebody to not even make the subs bench with such a depleted squad.
  13. In view of his disappearance from the squad at a time when we only have six players in ful training. Has Parker been cast out for some reason.
  14. Buy some blue and some white and tie them together?
  15. I just noticed Hartlepool had a crowd of over 5300 against Bury on Saturday (hardly a big draw for them). They generally get very low crowds. It just goes to show what a run of good results can do. If we can keep up the momentum we should do better than that in theory as they historically get considerbly lower crowds than us. In reality would this be the case?
  16. Tierney to my mind was clearly an excellent player and prospect and I couldn't at the time understand why he was not getting more games. I think to cast doubt on him "buckling down" here is wrong without proof that he wasnt doing his best to get in the team. Sometimes a players face just does not fit with the manager. As soon as he left he made an immediate impact at Shrewsbury and was never out of the first 11.
  17. What do you reckon? A copy given to every player in the dressing room before the match on Sat?
  18. Whats depressing is that even with another 1000 average on the gate we would still be in the bottom half of that table.
  19. Just a thought but it would appear that a virus has ripped through the team recently. The illness seems to have been a lot more severe with certain players but it must have had some effect on most players performance surely. As results in our league can turn on small dips in performance and energy how much is this a contributing factor to our recent run of form?
