There is no place for sectarian walks in this day and age, another reason why I don’t condone the Rangers friendly!

It’s like ‘Football Manager’ versus good old ‘Monopoly’!

It was actually 7.57pm, I checked my phone just as the first ball was kicked! What do I win?

Yeah but he was good enough for Burnley…..yet is a Wiganer, and captain of Wigan boys at his age group. Something wrong there, for me.

So obviously I can spot a player. You’ll not convince me that as someone who’s watched football, from North West counties, up to international level since the early 80s, that I can’t spot a player. I’ve seen the very best in the flesh, Messi, Iniesta…they’re right up there, the original Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos. Ive seen the other end too, a player at skem called Keith Tierney. Ex Everton youth. Tons of ability….liked a pint and had a big gut. Another Tony Kelly, who never made it due to lack of self discipline. Another one called Brett Goulding. Great player, but indisciplined. Would get sent off and into fights with supporters etc. Nutter.
I’ve also seen some players who I rated really highly…Zurawski, at Wisla Krakow, went to Celtic and scored a load. Jarasik, at Sparta Prague…stood out like a sore thumb. So much so, I went to Jewell about him. He thought we weren’t a big enough draw for him, as a championship club. I actually disagreed and thought we could get him cheap from the Czech club. Anyhow, he eventually later came over here to Chelsea, Via a Russian club. Played against us for Birmingham, I think. Point is, I was proved right about him being good enough, which gave me some satisfaction.

We’ve had plenty players over the years who have had me scratching my head about their ability as a player. Pinching money, I think the term is. Steven Appleton? John Robertson? Greg Strong? I’ll tell you what though, considering we signed Phil Daley from the Cheshire League, he did really well for us in his time here. Don Page did ok too. If he had finished as good as he could run fast, he wouldve been top class.

A robot can play a lot of this modern football. So many average players in league one, let’s be honest most teams weren’t up to much.[/quote]

Football scout! Is there no end to your talents!

Shutting the Rovers fans up ( Not that they were making a noise anyway ) by drawing 2-2 after being 2-0 down at halftime !

But ‘The Bridge’ is abridged ( No pun intended!) ;)

Any away end these days tends to be guaranteed seating! It’s just people are awkward and choose to stand, usually not where they are supposed to be sitting. Police and stewards are not tough enough and people get away with being dick heads.

Glad we won and all that yesterday but the rest of it was a shite experience. I said we wouldn’t go away again. But if we do, I’m not sitting anywhere near the front. No good with little ones.[/quote]

I meant a designated area, say the end 4 or 5 seats top to bottom on either the left or right! Better idea, the first few rows, sorted!

Perhaps clubs could provide guaranteed seating in their away ends specifically for parents with young kids and the older fans? Away contingents invariably stand, that’s the way it is!
