Re: Births Deaths And Marriages

Sad news that Totò Schillaci has died aged just 59. The scorer of six incredible goals during Italia 90. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GXv6q0SXkAAgWhK?format=jpg&name=small That's really sad to hear, saw a documentary on him relatively recently and he wasn't even supposed to be in the squad for I...

Re: Ratings

Did I hear Wellens correctly in his interview say that Graham wanted to come off soon after being put on??? As for Dan A he looks like a man that wants to get away to me. He seems to want to take on the whole team when he has the ball. Interesting to see if he puts in a performance against Brentfor...

Re: VAR could be scrapped.

Another frustration with it is the laws are being tweaked and changed to suit VAR which is a dangerous road to go down and is partly to blame for the confusion over what constitutes handball for example. For me, the biggest issue is how it sucks out the emotion. Football has always been a working cl...

Re: Steve Evans leaves Stevenage

I feel for the Rotherham fans, after watching essentially a league one team in the Championship and getting battered every week, now they have old Fat Boy's wonderful brand of 'football' to look forward to. Think he realised the race was run at Stevenage, it's no surprise that their form fell right ...

I think both drummers (north and south) are excellent and the atmosphere and singing in the north on Saturday was the best it's been for ages. The yoof do a great job away too, that away end at Portsmouth was something else!

Re: Paul Mccallum

Can't believe we are discussing this bloke as an option, he's about as far from a Wellens player as it's possible to be. If we are strapped for cash this coming window and it is Kelman who comes in then that could work; it's not necessarily the goals he will score himself but like last year, its the...
