How's your footy team doing?

Have just read online that the Macclesfield - Crewe game has been suspended by the EFL , surprised this late in the day , but in hindsight probably the right decision .

No great distance to travel for Crewe fans, Trellis, so no problem there, just I suppose, the officials who may have booked transport & accommodation with obvious cost implications.

One other thing, applicable across all divisions , could be a renewed inquiry into the " Fit and Proper Person " status of Owners etc -- wouldn't mind being a fly on the wall should that take place  !!

Just seen on the BBC sports Web that the match has been called off. Worrying times for players and fans of the silk men - could another of the little clubs fall by the wayside? 

Sad times in the lower tiers this year. 

Macc has been struggling off the pitch for some time now, Moulesy.

Many of the lower tiers of the E F L have lived from hand to mouth for years now. So the Half Billion quid put into Agents And Others pockets internationally over the past year  leaves a nasty taste in a fan of football in the countries that gave this game to the world  !!

Well said Brian and sadly, so true

Yet again a cracking game was spoiled by the mindless attitudes of some supporters. Good to see city doing something about it. I was very disappointed with Stirlings reaction or lack of it to the incident , especially as he has suffered racial abuse in the past . Unfortunately it just strengthens my belief that he is a me me me player and bu**er the rest .

I take it you won’t be voting for Raheem in the SPOTT!

I was at the game, United played very well, could, and should have been 4 up at half time.

As for the idiot throwing racist abuse at the United players, hasn’t he realised that most of City’s players are not white Anglo Saxons!

He’s been named and shamed on City’s on line fanzines, a 40ish ex army chap, really should know better.

I just cannot understand these folk at all == do they get so involved / intoxicated that they forget the upper divisions are virtually smothered in Video cameras running pretty well non-stop before, during and after the games at least while fans are in the ground ??  Even if the name was not made public there would be plenty of pictures in the local papers as well as some of the Nationals so likely to get plenty of " Finger Pointing " in the near future

My disappointment with Stirling is that having been on the recieving end of racial abuse he didn't even bother to go with his teammates to try and calm the brain dead idiots down . The cameras picked him up just standing close by with a "nothing to do with me guv" look about him . Simply not good enough .

I was at the big Yorkshire derby on Saturday. We had a very young and inexperienced side because of mutiny in the ranks apparently.

I expected a drubbing and a poisonous atmosphere but was pleasantly surprised on both fronts.

The youngsters put in a good performance and were only beaten by a couple of very good goals. The Leeds fans were quite entertaining and the atmosphere in the ground was brilliant.

A few weeks ago we had a bench worth about £50m this week the bench were all under 18 years old and cost nowt, no prizes for guessing who put in the better shift!
