This happens quite often and I thought it was just me being a grumpy old sod by letting it get to me. It just renders the lino as being pointless for being there. Can only be that there is some kind of directive in that respect. Either that or there are a lot of weak linesman out there that haven't the balls to make their own decisions. In respect of the game, I thought there were a lot of solid performances out there today. A real team effort to get the 3pts without being particularly outstanding. The one piece of outstanding play for me was Max Lowes block to stop a certain goal for Bowen. The lad has a real talent for reading the game in that respect.

He made a superb save from Jason Knight in the 1st half. Still don't know how he kept that out.

If he works on the weaker points of his game then we have one hell of a player that has a lot of attributes that could take him right to the top. One of the things that I like about him is that he doesn't get bullied despite his diminutive size. He's very strong for his size. Probably because of his low centre of gravity.

Hopefully he won't play but if he does then he may be distracted by all the attention. We need to keep him quiet one way or the other.

I agree. It was looking like the atmosphere might be a bit flat after the injustice of the weeks events but the clubs rallying call has certainly lifted my mood. I hope it's had a similar effect on the players and we come out all guns blazing. COYR.

If you find the culprit, unleash Igor on them. They won't do it again.

First line of our defence should read: "Your honour, the EFL has a history of under valuing things. Please may I show you Exhibit A. The current TV deal negotiated by the EFL." Judge: "Case dismissed."

You're a bloody jinx man. @Van Cone De Head OUT!!!!

Possibly but still smacks of the EFL moving the goalposts. They need to get their own house in order first. If they hadn't sold the TV rights for a bag of chips and a can of dandelion and burdock then every team would have more money to play with. Draconian halfwits.

Does that mean they are not acknowledging the fact we've sold our ground? Surely that sale brings us well within the limits.

And for us too. Have they specified the severity of the injury?

Oh b@llox. I was clinging to the hope that the clubs silence over this was a good sign and it wasn't that serious after all.

Exactly this. Agents are leeches on the football society and are everything that is fundamentally wrong about the modern game.

You've got to put it in (your offer) and hope that it's big enough to have the desired effect.
