How's your footy team doing?

Some of our beloved team were trying so hard to build themselves up for the seasonal matches, so they were relaxing a touch this weekend, trying hard not to seem greedy at this season of good will ( I should KOKO   )

Looks like the Gas are going to be looking for another new manager! 

Having taken one of the favourites for relegation up to 4th in the league with a good chance of a play off place it seems Graham Coughlan has decided to ... er .... take a step up with Mansfield Town. It's very disappointing but understandable in a way, given the fact his family live in Sheffield and he obviously feels the need to look for more home stability. That's combined with a crippling lack of financial support from a board so willing to splash the cash for his predecessor and a complete lack of investment in upgrading probably the worst training facilities in the division.

So the search starts again - I'd go for Rovers legend Ian Holloway who's done a good job in the past and might be willing to take it on till the end of the season anyway. Nathan Jones did a superb job with Luton last year and though his time at Stoke was a bit disastrous he knows the lower leagues well.

But please, please, please, not Steve Cotterell  (who has failed with every other league club in the area) or Paul Tisdale who was considered, and rejected a few years back!

(Cue appointment of Cotterell or Tisdale!) 

Currently having fun trying to get tickets foe a New Year game. Makes Frenzy Day on here seem like a cake walk. Online is down, so doing it the old fashioned way.........”you are number 72 on the waiting list.......you are currently number 48 on the waiting list......we appear to have stalled at number 8......🤯🤯🤯🤯😡

Just noticed a few halftime scores  on Freeview 601 -

Stevenage 0 - 2 Crewe Alexandra

Huddersfield 1 -- 0 Nottingham Forest

Good un Roger   -- Sorry Pauline

and Bristol Rovers still waiting to open the scoring

Give 'em a kick Moulesy mate

And at Full time  :--

Stevenage 1 -- 5 Crewe Alexandra the Mighty

Huddersfield 2 -- 1 Nottingham Forest

Bristol Rovers 0 -- 0  Peterborough

Hang on in there M lad

You missed one Brian:

Doncaster 1 -1 Accrington Stanley

It has been reported that several Stevenage players were hungover from their office party, held on Friday night??!

BTW.....Best wishes and Seasons Greetings to all supporters, everywhere 

Did you manage to get to No.1 and have got your tickets ordered?

Happen I did JR, but not by accident ( did you spot that bit of Lanky Speak ?? )

As for 'Hung over' -  after that performance they would be lucky not to be hung up !! But nice to see the Alex had a touch of Good Will about them in allowing Cuthbert to score their goal just after he gave us the 'own goal'

Sad to see Macclesfield are still in trouble, and likely to get the 'suspended' four point deduction imposed as well as any other yet to be levied punishment.

Tragic that the fans and players should be carrying the can for the misdeeds of the Financial mob   and that the club may well yet be demoted before the season is much older.

And Best Wishes To All Sports Fans for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

May you all have Success in your " Local Derbys " 

I think I was watching a team of imposters on Saturday.  Town scored from a corner not once but twice, we never score from corners.

By the 'eck but the tricky tree men are a physical lot. They could easily have been down to 9 men before halftime. One particularly nasty tackle not only took out our player but a big chunk of the electronic advertising system which all landed on top of a ball boy. Poor lad needed medical attention before he could stagger off down the tunnel. Speaking of which there was handbags in said tunnel at both halftime and full time.

Anyhow three points will do nicely.

Wishing all footie fans everywhere and especially those on this part of the forum a Merry Christmas and a Happy footballing New Year.

'Appen I did Brian 😀 but you did have a fair result, cock, 'appen!
