Re: Getting Younger....

I've heard about this recently with kids younger than 13. It's common place, the big clubs sign up 100's of kids and if just one makes the grade, then it pays for all the other shattered dreams. It's not fair on the kids and it means we have no chance of getting any good young players.

Re: Just read the Echo from last week

His 200th goal was at Fulham in a 3-1 defeat. We were 3-0 down and he scored late on. He went mental in front of us expecting a similar reaction but of course we were fairly indifferent to it as the game was already lost. Clearly playing for himself.

Re: o/t benefits cheats get 80yrs to pay it back

How do they work out that £12 per week is 85 pence a day.
Presumably it is 85p each per day giving £1.70 per day between them. Multiply by 7 days is 11.90.

Could this be playing with numbers to make the story more interesting? Surely not.

Re: How did Miller get man of the match?

I think Miller has been poor this season but I thought he did have a good game today. Maybe I wasn't paying attention to the defence much, as most of the play was at the other end for once.

Just when you think you can't worship the man any more, he goes and takes it to another level. Those are the things it looked like he felt when he was a player, it's great to hear him say it.

Re: Is this the greatest goal of all time?

Favourite Gabbiadini goal was against Leyton Orient at home (another hat-trick?) where he chipped it into the top corner with the outside of his right foot. That was the game with George Reynolds in the stands, about to take over. Things would never be the same again.

Re: If you could change 3 things about football today....

1. Officials must stop giving throw-ins when the ball just touches the line. (The ball has to be 2 feet over the line for them to give a goal though) 2. The definition of a foul must be the same regardless of the position on the pitch, e.g. "watching" the ball out of play for a goal kick - you could...

Re: Non-league north-east sides in the FA Cup

Harrogate Railway were on BBC a couple of years ago against Mansfield in the second round. They beat harrogate town in the first round so surely they must be the last northern league side.

Neither Harrogate Town or Railway play in the Northern League

You are an idiot if you think the performance was tripe. In fact I don't believe it. You think you're a genius because you point out that losing is a s*** result. That's not what people are posting about, assessing tonights game only, it was a good performance.

I think any criticism of Gall is unjust, he clearly gives 100% and he is our best striker. That is a sorry state of affairs but he can only do his best, we need a better player to push him out of the team.

I thought it was different tonight, we looked competitive and the players seemed to know what they were trying to do. I counted 13 attempts on goal from us, some of them decent. The only reason we lost tonight was that Rochdale are a decent side, as opposed to the usual - us being s***. IF we play l...
