Not so much a stand out in a bad Team as we had a decent side back then , but Paul Charlton was the player everyone went to see , when He got transferred to Salford the crowds dropped alarmingly .

Something Changed made it for me .

Wasn`t at the game but your comments on needing a play maker sound spot on . even in the early days of the Walshy era we were struggling until we signed Ged Byrne who then led us to promotion and 2 trips to Old Trafford .

The frustrating thing about the whole project is that it was first mooted in 2018 . Thats 7 years of dithering around . Given you can add a very conservative rise in costs of labour and materials of around £50.000 a month it would cost at least £4,200,000 more than when the idea was first put out there . Every delay increases both the cost , the type of stadium affordable and the ever increasing likely hood of nothing happening .

Alex Warren and Ordinary ......had to find out what the fuss was about as it has spent 12 weeks at no 1 apparently . Needn`t have bothered dour , just trots along and very ordinary .

At Workington in my time of watching them Paul Charlton .

we had 4 of our best players missing and a few bad looking injuries during the game which meant our interchanges couldn`t be used as we wanted , but all of Dewsburys last 14 points came when we were in possession and dropped the ball when under no pressure and they scored off the next set of six . Small margins but Dewsbury did the the basics , played out their sets , good kicking game and respected possession .

Everyone has summed the match up pretty well but no one has mentioned the highlight of the match . The bit where Ferres was so busy giving the finger to the crowd , He stepped back into His own player forcing Him to knock on......the man is all class !

Went to the supermarket for a few things the other day . Person parked next to me (as is common these days) was sat in the car lights on , engine running staring at their mobile . 20 mins later brought back my shopping , person was still sat there twiddling away engine still running . Had a quick look around me and 3 other people were doing the same thing ......must be part of the driving test these days .

Crystal Palace deserved their win . Most obvious thing to me was when Palace broke out they mostly went down the right and crossed very early knowing players would be in support . Whereas City had chances to do the same thing but kept passing backwards and forwards trying to walk the ball into the net .Wasn`t in agreement with Citys pen either . Player had lost control of the ball (which was over the by line anyway at this point) before the minimal contact was made .

Sick of people who block the road in or out of Supermarket car parks to do their recycling when there are dozens of parking places empty .Just park up and carry it a few more yards and do it for crying out loud .

So Him play many times against Town at the same time we had Iain Mccorquodale kicking for us , but honestly can`t remember Him missing a kick at Derwent Park , always seemed super cool and unhurried . RIP Derek .

A bloke said to me the other day that the only people who should wear cowboy hats in Workington are the Marks brothers.........messrs Jenkinson and Fryer .

The only thing i miss from the old Wembley was the Teams emerging from the tunnel and walking to half way to line up . A bit of proper theatre .

Just been listening to Fairports What we did on our holidays album and forgot what a stunning version they did of Dylans song I`ll keep it with mine . Sandy Denny in top form and Richard Thompsons subtle guitar playing the icing on the cake .
