    IlsonDerby got a reaction from S6 boy in It's Our Moment   
    This - I’ve never understood people unwilling to celebrate because it’s league 1 or (a lower example the papa johns trophy) we are a league one team. We are a team eligible for the papa johns. Winning promotion. Winning a trophy etc at the level you are at is always an achievement even if you’d rather be higher up.

    I’m 32 and don’t remember an automatic promotion because at 4 years old it was a blur - I just remember the radio commentary whilst dad did the ironing on a Saturday afternoon (too poor for a ticket back then but also a big reason I feel so nostalgic hearing Graham Richard’s voice) so I reckon you could be looking at anyone younger than 35 not properly remembering an automatic promotion.

    When I see Sibley with a run and an incisive pass like that I just want to see him given 10 consecutive matches of at least 65 minutes in a more advanced position to see if we can coax out the absolute wonder kid we had for our under 18s. 
     
    Is any manager brave enough to do that? I know he’s had ‘half chances’ where it hasn’t been great but he’s always earned those half chances by doing well in a cameo or in the wrong position.

    Not be long before every man and his dog are on the dodgy sticks. 
     
    Sky, the premier league and the EFL could see illegal streaming as a symptom of what they have created and try to proactively meet fans halfway and come up with a solution that doesn’t harm the pyramid but allows for clubs to still stream. 
     
    Instead they treat illegal streaming as a problem in its own right. 
     
    An example of an idea which will have its obvious flaws but gets a conversation started:
    Clubs can stream to fans who have a paid membership. This membership allows fans access to purchasing the stream for a match. 

    Membership fees go into a pool to be redistributed across the football pyramid.
     
    Clubs earn their revenue from the sale of the stream not the membership.

    We should find out whoever Middlesbrough are trying to sign and offer them high wages via semi-fraudulent accounting methods

    Not quite, but I have this nagging reoccurring day dream about Junior and Mat Svensson being the world’s greatest strike force for 3 games and it being cut short before the world knew it.

    IlsonDerby got a reaction from David Graham Brown in Paul Warne   
    I think that the language he used didn’t have to include ‘failure’. 
    He could have said we gave ourselves a real chance but in the end we couldn’t quite get over the line. 
     
    I don’t suspect he’ll be gone this summer regardless of what happens. I think he’ll be given a summer unhindered by restrictions and Clowes will reassess during the season. 
     
    it may not have been with 11* games to go then but ultimately we were in a position last season where it would have taken an awful run of form to drop out. That’s what happened.

    IlsonDerby got a reaction from David Graham Brown in Paul Warne   
    Not necessarily but it can’t be overlooked that Warne was brought in to bring promotion. If Clowes wanted to give time then you might as well have stopped with Rosenior. 
     
    I don’t particularly want him sacked either I just want to be excited by some of the football played by us. 
     
    Im not one of those misers that haven’t been able to enjoy this season - I’ve loved every goal and every win this season and will keep backing them to get us over the line.
