Wonder if that was the reason for Wildsmith’s aberration of a pass to Marriott ? Their normal colour is blue why the need to wear a change kit ? One of many things about the sport which boils my preverbial tbh. There was absolutely zero need for Posh to play in that glacier green kit.

And being run down or economically worse off than other parts is not something I tend to score a place down for, there are some wonderful communities where the areas are depressed. I have stayed over a handful of times in hotels on overnights and, as is customory, ventured out in the evening for a meal and pint... to the very few establishements they seem to have. Typically wished I hadn't. Agree with your assessment, it is a place that doesn't seem to have any redeeming features. I was obliged to go there a couple of years ago with a mate of mine. Went into Starbucks and they'd run out of water. I kid you not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donegal Ram Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 A good never say die attitude which won us the game. Great subs from the manager which pushed us higher up the pitch therefore, creating the pressure which got us the goals. Going forward for me Fozzy is a better option at left back. Give Bird time on the bench because at the moment he is not progressive enough with the ball and only slows things down. Smith or Knight in that role. Mcgoldrick is the tricky one at the min. Is he fit enough to play 70-80 mins. Managers choice. Although Collins hasn't scored he is part of the overall plan. If the midfield issues are sorted then maybe the ball can be released quicker to the forwards. Sibley and Dobbin to start. Positive start to the season even with a few things to be improved. Well done Liam and thanks David Clowes. UTR ariotofmyown, 48 hours, DavesaRam and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time you were offered a rental flat through the development agency at council housing type rates. There were lots of Scots who had moved out of corby, plus people who had moved out of London when the company relocated in 1984. The cathedral was good. Katherine of Aragon is buried there. There's little other historic architecture. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram-Alf Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Lad who sits next to me drives from Spalding, At 0-1 he says he has to go to Peterboro as his Merc is due it's service and that's the nearest one, A couple of years back he said Barry Fry was in there and was given the right Royal treatment, Couldn't do enough for him, At 2-1...I said enjoy your visit...I will he said ?

Spalding is deepest fenland. The only redeeming feature I recall about the fens is that property tended to be cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference in accent between Fenland and the rest of Lincs is amazing - from yokel-like to East Midlands in the space of a few miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the ref blew up without knowing what decision he was goint to make. I was 10 yards away and I think we got lucky , but over the season it all evens out.Liam is still backing Collins to get loads of goals. In him we trust.

Srg Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 It’s not really a surprise that Korey Smith put in his best performance in the position he’s most used to. Don’t ever recall seeing him play quite as advanced as he has done for us prior to his arrival here. norwichram, Ramarena, Crewton and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
