Re: Jack Simpson

Jack Simpson made an awful racist remark for which we was rightfully punished. Some think he should never play again, some think he deserves a second chance, but not with us. Others think that having apologised and made efforts with the local community, now is the time to look forwards rather than ...

Re: Jack Simpson

Personally I think we want a better than a ten a penny northern hard man. Just my opinion, I think Happe is our best centre half who under normal circumstances would attract interest from bigger teams. Simpson is a lot more than a 10 penny hard man. He's the best CB we have on the ball. Happe shoul...

Re: Jack Simpson

Not comfortable with this. Would have preferred his "second chance" to be at another club. Northern hard men CBs are ten a penny at this level. Also, Happe will stay because there just isn't enough in him for another club to take him. Personally I think we want a better than a ten a penny...

Re: Ex O's on the move

Clickbait crap. Does not have the feet to play in a Wellens team and he's probably on a decent wage. Not only that but if Simpson and Happe re-sign we would have four first choice CB’s to choose from. Marvin is a good player but we don’t have any room for him. If Simpson and Happe re-sign, Marvin w...

Re: Season Ticket Deadline Extended

I wonder if the club realise they're giving the full credit per match on the £50 kids ST? I hope they don't clock on to it.

Re: VAR could be scrapped.

There have been many occasions where VAR has corrected a referees bad decision, these occasions go undiscussed. ON FAR LESS OCCASIONS, VAR has turned a right decision into a wrong one. I think the negativity against VAR is mainly for two reasons. Often it just agrees with the referees bad decision w...

Re: Grass not always greener

Paul Smyths move made much more sense, although I’m not surprised he has struggled in the Championship. He hasn't really struggled, in spite of that VIth former's article. He's played 25 league games for them and the fans there seem to like him. It's a better season than the one he had with us in 2...

It is properly mad to not understand that a move to a top flight club, with higher standards across the board and training alongside experienced top flight players, is a career move, not just a “take the money and retire” move.

In case anyone is unaware, I rate Hector, a lot. But £4m??? Peterborough wanted £6.5 million - He may well be worth that one day if he continues to develop but as good as he is I think they should have taken the £4million from Watford with both hands tbh. We would have got 20% sell on once the £300...

Re: Snooker

I used to play Squash a lot, never watched it. You'ed have to try very hard to find it on the TV. Olympics and other major games. Also think it can be watched on dedicated sports channels Squash has never been in the Olympics, only the Commonwealth. That said it's due to make its debut LA 2028.
