Next time, though, I'm going dressed as the guy I saw leaving the ground. He was in his late seventies/early eighties, dressed in a kilt, shirt, tie, jacket and a suitable bunnet - very smart - and was immediately surrounded by lots of very pretty, young French women wanting their picture taken with him. Did they break into cries of, "Donald, oú sont tes pantalons?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleep1673 Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 AC Milan banned from UEFA League. Please BBC Note this is UEFA not Uefa. Lazy journalism again.

Bedford Roughyed Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 The USA are certainly professional about how they do thing... cough gamesmanship.... With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerjon Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 So ... up for the Cup again ... 9 August and it's Bexhill United v Eastbourne Town in the Extra Preliminary Round (played at Eastbourne because the Polegrove is still a cricket ground this time of year). The winner gets £2,250 and an away match at either Sutton Common or Molesey. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

I know every promoted team has to do some kind of strengthening exercise, but I’m always wary of those that rip the heart out of their team to do it. That said, Grealish knows what’s expected and Heaton should bring some leadership to the defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrumonside ref Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 In sad news, Bolton travel to Wycombe with only three senior outfield players according to the BBC. Still no news on the takeover either. Meanwhile local rivals Bury in even worse position with their second league game of the season against Accrington Stanley now called off.

Gerrumonside ref Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Salford City off to a good start in the Football League so far. They lead Stevenage 1-0 at home with a fairly healthy gate on.

gingerjon Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 It's a minor thing but I'm very pleased to see the correct punctuation returning to football scores. The BBC have the team as Bradford (Park Avenue), as it should be. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Gerrumonside ref Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Anybody thinking about subscribing to The Athletic for £3 a month? Basically it’s an online US sports website that has spent big on luring the top writing talent and local reporters - now they are making a play for the UK football market. This kind of football only thing has never really worked in the UK before (unlike say in Italy), but the first signs are good in terms of content. Anyone tempted?

I already subscribe for the US content. It started city by city and Chicago (and thus the Cubs) was an early one. So it's pretty much my go-to for anything American. I think it will very quickly move on from soccer to other European sports. A sub is well worth it. 1 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.
