I'm starting this thread again because it seems to have been a casualty of the change over to the new site. The Terriers scecured another away win last night at Burton. Two wins in a row now after a barren spell. It'll all go pear shaped on Friday when we go to Norwich because the game is to be televised , we haven't won on the telly for ages.

I've jùst got in from tonight's match where I witnessed the most bizarre things I've ever seen on a football field.

One of our strikers commits a foul on the near touch line about 10 yards from the Swansea corner flag. The referee eventually consults the linesman who was about a yard away from the incident . God alone knows how the discussion went but after what seemed ages of indecision the ref then calls the other linesman over from the other side of the pitch. Now this fellow must have been at least 70 yards away. They have a committee meeting and the ref books our player, rightly in my opinion.

Mind you the ref is the one from Australia who has been the VAR in some recent Premier League matches. I wonder if that explains some of the dodgy VAR decisions of late. The sooner he catches a slow boat back to Oz the better.

From what I've seen tonight the Swansea training regime must include a day per week at drama school. I've never seen so much play acting in my life If one of our players gave them so much as a funny look they were on the ground writhing around.

ITT Rog.

Oh Roger, how I wish I could edit away  yesterdays match. Listened on Radio Stoke and it was not good.  Saw my neighbor this morning - he & his  Lady went for a drink in a pub in Sandbach which shewed the whole match and he rather disagreed with me. Said it was definitely NOT that good frown!! Still another match for 'em, so they should be fit & fully warmed up for the annual  snowball fights { harrruumph,  growl,  snarl }.

I think I'll go for a light lunch & watch Harry Potter XXXVIII  solving the world's problems smile

From what I've read, seen and heard , I feel Crewe may well be shot down in the replay Brian .😀🛩🛩.

What a sad tale unfolded on the BBC Red Button frown

Macclesfield have failed again to pay their players on time, so the players put in a letter stating their intention Not To Play On Saturday when the opponents are supposed to be Crewe Alex.

What should the Alex do if the Macc team turned out is Amateurs & trainees { as I believe has happened before } in an attempt to complete the fixture without incurring penalty / punishment.

Should Crewe try to stroll thro' the game getting just enough goals to win,  should they turn the taps on and try to improve goal difference by the very best they can achieve knowing that they are on the edge of the promotion battle, or should they approach P F A  & E F L, & try to get the match delayed till later in the season ??

Brian just does not know the answer, only that he is so very sad. frown

Sad but interesting question Brian .I think it's probably way to late to get the match postponed, the game should be played and I feel Crewe  should beat but don't humiliate the youngsters, it's not their faults .⚽⚽.

Hearing from one fan _ Game is definitely OFF !

Yet Report on 'MAIL ON LINE is that its still fluid with E F L  Stating some more punishment certain for Macc should it not take place.

Also apparently the High Court has deferred the Winding-up order requested by HMRC.

None of the above is at all nice when FIFA revealed that Agents, etc etc took £501, 000,000 { Yes half a billion } out of the World Wide football Money Mine

I agree with you as far as You go Trellis, but, alas, it does not help me feel any happier. So I'll break all the rules and scoff another piece of cake, frown
