Reply | 1975 ish We score 7 and our players console keeper on his debut

Do you mean the 7-0 home win against Burnley in 1979 when all our players (Allen, Goddard, Roeder?) consoled Billy O'Rourke (now RIP sadly) who was the debutant Burnley keeper? Allen got 4 IIRC. Happy Days under The Doc. [Post edited 16 Feb 22:04]

A good, hard-working, well-coached, team of 11 men sits in 11th place tonight with 11 wins, 11 draws and 11 defeats. Nice.
Well Done Rangers. |

0-3. Can't see it, I'm afraid. Literally and figuratively.
The romance.... [Post edited 14 Feb 17:52]

'Theirs was an ebullient first movement, purposeful and threatening, like a Vaughan Williams symphony.' Absolutely. Superb analogy, superb report, fkn annoying result. Thank you. |

Am still particularly angry and dejected today - and we didn't play badly at all. We've played so much worse this season (Oxford H first half, Bristol City away) and got good results.
Yes, it's the manner of the last-ditch defeat but, for me, a tight 1-0 defeat away to Coventry still has a particularly horrible, historical, resonance.... [Post edited 12 Feb 20:34]

They actually reached the Semi-Finals of the ENGLISH FA Cup many, many, many years ago. Still have the most Scottish Cup wins (10) outside the Old Firm. A grand old, old club - crucial to the development of football in Britain in the 19th century.
Very pleased for them, but I guess yet another Celtic treble is now utterly certain. |

Slightly off topic, I didn't click that FL Cov now play twice in 4 days (Leeds H tonight, Ipswich H on Sat in this strange thing called The FA Cup 4th Round) while we, metaphorically, put our feet up for next Tue. Famous last words...but it must give us a useful advantage?
Back to topic, yep, I feel sorry for their fans. [Post edited 5 Feb 9:50]

Absolutely...particularly as he was already above retirement age at the outbreak of hostilities...in the Great War. Very impressive. |

So, 21.30 hrs (GMT) has come and gone.
We have signed precisely no one.
We have released precisely no one.
Unless I am missing something. The tension is palpable. [Post edited 3 Feb 21:35]

I had a little bird,
Its name was Enza,
I opened the window,
And.....
Hopefully not the horror of the 1918 version. He is from Spain though... [Post edited 2 Feb 10:20]

Yes - Sheff Utd promotion this season not certain at all.
Sheff Utd relegated next season with under 25pts if promoted - utterly certain. |

Yep - no doubt about it now- Jimmy is off.
I get all the financial reasons and the reality of modern football. Just sad though. |

Yes - this.
I was getting my hopes up when Sheff Utd signed Harry Clarke - but even I underestimate the obscene advantage that parachute payments bring.
If Jimmy does go, there is a sudden vacuum at the club - yes we have Steve Cook back, but Jimmy was particularly talismanic in recent times - from THAT Brum goal onwards.
Hopefully, we absorb this - but the gap to 22nd place suddenly feels a lot more relevant than the admittedly smaller gap to 6th right now. |
