Re: Rumour - Benn Ward

I'd expect Bradford to be favourites. If nothing else, it's commutable from the Accrington/Burnley area so would offer him the least disruption outside of football.

Unless, of course, he wants to move back down south.

Re: Scottish premier league.

Not a good start for Wilfried Nancy at Celtic. Loses to title rival Hearts and becomes a bit of a meme messing around on the bench with a mini tactic board a la Amorim at Grimsby. Also said the following in his post match interview: “I’m not about losing or winning, I’m about having a good performa...

Re: Rumour - Benn Ward

He's under 24 so won't there be some sort of transfer or development fee in the summer? Used to be triggered if Accrington offered him a new contract on at least the same terms that he's currently on.

Re: World Cup 2026

Can we now assume that Infantino is another person Trump has given a blow job to? Can't help but feel that, with 48 teams and an endlessly convoluted qualifying process that also pretty much guarantees qualification for many before a ball is even kicked, the World Cup is now in its Jumping the Shark...

Re: Opposition fans back from the game - 24/25 page 225 onwards

I'm not saying Oldham were a big club but barring the 19th Century, Oldham have always traditionally been a bigger club than Rochdale, Stockport or Bury so I think it's fair to say they can rightfully claim to have been the third club in Greater Manchester. Admittedly, Bury were arguably of a simil...

Re: Opposition fans back from the game - 24/25 page 225 onwards

Arguably Oldham have been that third club because geographically they've been the North East side of Manchester as opposed to United in the West and City in the south. Potentially Stockport to the South as well (not forgetting Bury and Rochdale). Surely it's no coincidence that their slide down the...

Re: Who should be starting LB/RB?

I'm happy that Dorsett is beginning to show some form. I'm not entirely convinced by him as a CB but I do think playing as a hybrid LB/LCB in a back 3 plays to his strengths because he's strong and has more than adequate pace and touch. He's had 2 or 3 poor years with injury and playing in a shockin...

Well, he has a fairly laconic style. And he's not an all action run his heart out on lost causes type. Though he does put in a shift. Plus, he's black and there is that tendency for black players to be described as lazy more than white players. It's not his fault that he his not cut out to be a cen...

Re: Top winger individual performances

Mark McKeever away to Stoke.

Glen Little never looked like a winger. Tall, not particularly quick and gangly looking so he never looked spectacular. He did his best work with little feints and body swerves in tight spaces.

Re: Elm Park, did you know this?

I knew there used to be a roof over a section of the Town End next to the main stand but that was fairly common knowledge and this is from the other end of the pitch.

Re: World Cup 2026

RG30 Scenes in Budapest.


For a Route 1 goal, the winner was a thing of beauty. Lovely floated ball in by Kellagher, excellent flick on by Scales and Parrott read it brilliantly. 5 seconds, 3 touches, goal.

Re: Ex Royals

They may well have known, or maybe heard rumours, internally about the points deduction before it was made public. yeah, I am 100% certain that happened the following season. But it also says something about the club at the same time that it affected the players so badly two seasons in a row. I rem...

Ireland are 2-0 up against Portugal at half-time. Would blow that group wide open going into the final round of fixtures if Ireland were to win. Ronny sent off when Ireland already 2 up. Result unlikely to change much though in a group that’ll see Portugal and Hungary qualify. Ireland have basicall...

Re: Rinomhota CONFRIMED

I think he's a good signing. We know what he's capable of and I think it's a signing that allows other players (Wing, Savage) to play in their more natural position.
