    Burton Albion 3-5 Brentford. We went 1-0 down only to score three in quick succession, going in at half time 3-1 up. 1 hour and 4 goals conceded later a truly miserable second half is finally over and i'm beginning to doubt our survival chances.

    I used to go to Eton Park back in the day to watch my lot play Burton and we used to do reasonably well. You maybe at the wrong end of the Championship, but you are six leagues higher up the pyramid than we are.

     

    Funny old game...


  2. An insight into being a supporter of a step seven  club with no money:

     

    we've had a succession of players (some apparently under contract) leave us this season for a variety of reasons including:-

     

    1) Can't drive and have lost my lift to training and matches because he has walked out too.

    2) I'm not enjoying football and want a break ( only to resurface at another club a few weeks later)

    3) The travelling (35 miles) is too much and I'm. having a break (only to resurface at another club still 35 miles from his home)

    4) The manager has gone on to better things and because he brought me to the club I'm now going to have a strop and not turn up to training .

    5) I'm following the aforementioned manager to his new club and intend to give bugger all effort in the meantime until I can get the move.

    6) The style of football doesn't suit me.

     

    ...and Arsenal fans think they've got problems!

  3. The most disturbing aspect of this is the macho muscle flexing being displayed on all sides. Most folk on the planet just want to get by,but our leaders (elected and otherwise) seem intent on poking each other with sharp sticks. When North Korea eventually develop a nuclear capability then all bets will be off and the U.S. may live to regret making threats.

    BBC/Mail/Guardian/Mirror/whoever else obits within 10 mins of a death announcement. Captained the first UK team to win the European Cup after all.

    His contemporary,  Tommy gemmell has died it has been announced.  I think it has made the main page of the BBC website

    Ian Brady. Still Hoping to volunteer to dump his ashes in one of the port-o-potties we have in Norway. I have a rest stop in mind between Bergen and Halden near Hallingdal.

    Please tell me you don't call them that.

    Yep. Sorry. They originally were located at the docks/ports when the fishermen would come into sell their fish. Better than having the fisherman piss and poop off the sides of their small boats into the bay. Portable potties shortened to Port-o-potties.

    Another reason to visit Norway! :)

    Found the football thread and thought I'd 'fess up to being a Hednesford Town fan. I go to all the home games and away ones which are local. We play in the 7th tier.

    Feel free to mercilessly take piss....

    ...I'm used to it.

     

     

    Totally the opposite - as a lifelong Carlisle United fan I feel a certain kinship, probs disregard the over-paid Premiershit stuff for similar reasons and travel more in hope than certainty. League positions (us 3rd, them 23rd) notwithstanding I'll get to Orient on Saturday early enough to enjoy the pre-match pint and summat from the tonnage of fast food on the high road because I have a hunch my day might get worse once we kick off.

    My mate was born in Carlisle and so they are his team. We go and watch them when they are playing at Walsall or Shrewsbury so we both hope that Carlisle get promoted as we've missed out for the last couple of years.
