    The useless EFL have already let this kind of thing go.

    On the last day of the 21/22 season, Northampton were ahead of Bristol Rovers on goal difference. Northampton did their job by beating Barrow 3-1. This meant that Bristol Rovers needed to win by 7 against Scunthorpe, the result was 7 nil and Bristol were promoted on goals scored. Already relegated Scunthorpe fielded a team consisting of 7 teenagers including 4 from their u18s and a first year scholar in goal.

    I can't find any details of any punishment for Scunthorpe.

    If Scunthorpe ever get back in the EFL, they should have points deducted, in my opinion. Poetic justice that they crashed through the National League.

    If Typhoo put the 'T' in Britain, who put the c*** in Scunthorpe?

    What a cracking goal by Windass for the Wendies at Blackburn. Worrying to see that this game is a relegation game. Smolszics just equalised 31 goals for him this season.

    Watching this games makes me yearn for decent football again (after sweating through 45 minutes of full hoof yesterday). Pitch looks good too.

    I hope the PP pitch looks as good next April (the PP grass thickness resembles the hair on my crown atm).

    The good thing about all seater stadiums  is that you dont have to get there early after carrying the kids milk crates down cambridge street.🤣

    Dad (the worlds worst DIYer) knocked-up a wooden stool for me to stand on.

    It had enough six-inch nails in it to hold the mast on the Cutty Sark.

    It’s alien to the modern day world of all-seater stadia but what I forgot to say also was that my Dad used to park up in Litchurch Lane around 1pm and get us into the ground for no later than 1.30pm so we kids could get places standing on the front row. 
     

    ........................................But it was a long time to wait.

    Same for me in the early 1970's, in the ground before 1:30 (otherwise you wouldn't be able to see), my god it was boring as a 10 year-old waiting until KO.
