Craig Bryson Hat Trick against Forest. 

Scott Malone with him too I see.  Could get both these fan favourites back on a free 😂

Got up at 6.25 this morning and put BBC Breakfast News on and there was a half hour programme about Rob and living with MND it was heart breaking to watch and hard as well, there was one point when one of the doctor's was talking to him about the end and how he felt about it and he just smiled and said he didn't want anyone talking negative like that. You think you have problems in life and feel a bit down then programmes like that show us how lucky we are. I'm not ashamed to say I had tears rolling down my cheeks when his wife/mum/dad were trying to talk about life without him. 

This is the deadest time. Leagues are still going on with the play offs. All other players are at Pontins. Transfer window not open yet, contracts run til end of June. 

He was watching them at Wembley 👍🏻

I have no sympathy for them Wolfie bloody parasites all of them but Andrew and Harry the worst. 

Book sales must be down

I'm surprised they didn't make everyone do two laps just so didn't have to give refunds...........
Seriously, inevitable given the conditions there.
Monaco is a one off track so we'll have to wait and see on anyone's upgrades after that.
It is a shame, I've liked imola since they bought it back.

If the top league 1 teams have income of around £8 million from tickets and tv , that means it could cost around £10 mill to get out of this league. Would David Clowes put his dads family business at risk by making it up out of his own pocket?  Even if he was allowed. It could be a longer stay in Lg1 than we think.

Awe really sorry to hear that Sally Pepper been made redundant. 

Jimmy Greaves…………….on not signing for Brian Clough…
“Oh, [I retired] far too young. To be honest, it was that I was a bit fed up with the West Ham situation. I should have gone to Derby County. Brian [Clough] wanted me and really I wish I had gone.
“One of the great things I would have loved to have done was play under The Governer, The Man.
“He’s just got a magic and an aura that’s around him that very few others have. His record stands for itself. He’s done things no other managers have done.
“He’s done things slightly differently. He’s an extrovert, saying what he thinks, telling people this, that, and the other. Having the guts and the courage to be in there pitching and battling.
“To me the man is the greatest and that’s the end of it. I’d have loved to have played underneath him.”
A forward line of Hector, O’Hare and Greaves does have a certain ring about it. 🐏

It wasn't of course when it came to Craig Short though. On balance I wish had gone to Blackburn

Brammie Steve you are so right I was a bit to young in 1969 to appreciate Space Oddity and Bowie as a performer but thanks to a older cousin who was 18 in 1972 I was introduced to Ziggy Stardust album and was hooked and then seeing him on Top Of The Pops perform Starman made it even better. It's amazing to think that Ziggy Stardust was never a single. 

Are they going to ever be looked at for over 100 FFP breaches or do they not count.  They're like the Cosa Nostra of the football world.  I look forward to them spending another 300 million this summer with no accountability. 

Still a great album! Got it on CD.
I recall saying “He’ll be a one hit wonder, how do you follow ‘Space Oddity?’
He did! Brilliantly.

This album set me on the way to becoming a lifelong Bowie fan, thanks for the 'gift'  all them years ago@Brammie Steve

My namesake the fantastic David Bowie one of the best albums of the 1970's.

What does anyone think of the ideal of the EFL making the Conference a League 3 division? A bit like the old 4th division. The standard is definitely good enough. 

Well, if two went up automatically,  they could have a four team playoff that mirrors the EFL arrangement,  would give an extra team something to play for and increased revenues too.

I think I’ve found him 
 

I agree, one automatic promotion place makes it an incredibly difficult league to get out of. Increasing it to two has been mooted for next season though whether it happens is anyone's guess, I suspect the biggest stumbling block might be the EFL although it must benefit them having the likes of Notts and Wrexham back. The playoffs are loaded in favour of the higher placed teams though with 2nd and 3rd going straight to a one game semi final with home advantage

I think when the promotion was set between the Conference and EFL there was a much bigger gap in terms of finance between the two. 
The thought of relegation from the EFL would have been devastating. It was almost a death sentence for a club.
These days the Conference is much stronger, with some great teams, grounds and attendances. BT Sport coverage, too.
Only one automatic promotion place is ridiculous.  Should be two, with a third coming up through the playoffs.
