    "These things even themselves out"

    I thought there was an offside in the build up to their penalty when their defender headed it forward before it then went out to the wing. Haven't seen any clear replays on that one though and goal clips always just show winger running into box and leaving his leg trailing looking for contact...

    A chance for change on Teesside…

    Thats only what the Conservatives are saying, as Nobby would say my sources have definitely told me it was a finance issue.

    A chance for change on Teesside…

    Not sure how as they withdrew due to not being able to raise enough money - they need more donations from you Nobby

    Great Day out at a proper community club

    It was a game that both clubs looking for a win to keep playoff hopes alive. However as Birtley lost the Guisborough still have a chance but must win remaining games because of their 3pts deduction. Mind you it will be harsh if Shildon miss out in play offs having been the only ones to push...

    Great Day out at a proper community club

    No Thornaby game due to league moving fixtures around, so choice was Guisborough (1st div) or Billingham (2nd div)- Wrong choice made

    Sunak threatens to take away rights of doctors to write sick notes

    I have much experience with the 'outsourced' people who apparrently are going to take over the writing of sick notes from my long dispiriting reviews after a serious brain injury years ago. They are generally people who are in a position that they seem to have no clue about. The reviews I...

    FA Cup replays scrapped.

    I thought that this option was no longer available - and rightly so in my book

    Worst penalty ever?

    Or was it perfectly placed to take account of the circular hole the keeper had between his arm and his body. Don't forget he had been given penalty duties over Rav that day because he had intimate knowledge of their goalkeeper having played with him earlier in his career - so you never know...

    Athletics Oldest World Record Has Gone

    Flo Jo paid a high price for this though. I remember a meeting at Gateshead, late 80s and Flo Jo and Ed Moses were there. After the event loads of kids (me included) were waiting for a chance of autograph. Flo Jo got into a car behind locked gates and was sped through the crowd, where as Moses...

    Who's your money on for the Grand National?

    Put off this as it has only been running in hurdles races, doesn't seem the best preparation. I know it won a couple of years ago but it will be in for a shock when it gets to the chair after all those hurdles it can just charge through :eek:

    Ifollow gone from next season

    I have always assumed that the red button commentators are watching it in a studio somewhere, hence why they miss subs and how much injury time to be played. Or is that just me getting it wrong?

    Ajay Matthews - Fabrizio Romano

    4 if you count Kavanagh who got lots of attention and was then sold to Bradford. Hype is one thing, but reality often is very different see also Bradley Fewster and I am sure a few others.

    New Liverpool manager agreed

    Liverpool did OK in the 70s, early 80s with changes in manager. Went through at least 4 and kept winning things. Shankley and paisley there a while

    So, Ryan Giles.....

    That would be my tactic against any team playing with advanced full backs as there is always space in behind. Giles was particularly bad as he seemed to be shorter after he jumped for a header than he was if he just stood still ad let it hit him.

    EFL Announcement

    Fully agree, but all seater stadia never killed atmosphere because people ignored the rules to a large extent - especially away fans. Stadia still safer as you dont get localized overcrowding anymore but my shins got a lot more grief off the backs of seats back in my younger days though

    EFL Announcement

    The only reason all seater stadia hasn't killed the atmosphere is becauise large sections of the crowd ignore the seats. I'm not advocating a return to the terraces but if all seater policy was enacted fully then I think the atmosphere would be reduced
