In footballing monetary terms, the development of facilities and infrastructure, will amount to signing a 32 year old centre half on a four year contract.

I’d be happy to see the new training facilities completed and up and running, a Cat 1 Academy established at Shirecliffe and a top ten finish. I do not think we could possibly have a team capable of competing in the Premier league, in less than 4 to 5 years, without being taken over by some...

I imagine that it’s pretty difficult to judge just how far to go, so many variables to consider? Unknown pre existing health issues of staff member, availability of Ambulances, quality of regional healthcare etc. Legal nightmare, I suppose you just learn to rely on a knee in the bollocks to get...

I’m sure if there is going to be any serious interest in buying the club, any potential purchasers wouldn’t be making themselves known until relegation is officially confirmed. All the same, I’m not going to hold my breath 😉

I saw the last minute Saka attempted con job. He’s left footed, if he’d carried on, he’d have been able to just roll the ball passed the keeper. Very strange decision, I always thought he was an honest sort of a player tbh, certainly was but I suppose they get encouraged to go down at the...

This thread really highlights the problem with modern football and its current administrators. It is also apparent that some people have lost sight of what the game is all about, it’s roots, it’s history and ultimately its appeal. The more money becomes the motivation, the more the rules are...

Thats quite an accolade, but still only a 7 presumably? I agree, he was excellent tonight and never gives anything less that 100%

The Premier League is fucking awful, it’s overly regulated at every level, by people who have finance and their own personal interests at heart, not those of our National game. Sooner a Saudi backed European Super League gets up and running the better, take VAR and the PGMOL with them and...

I really fail to see how anyone could conceivably think that he would be a good signing? You’d only have to watch him for half a game, to see that he can’t kick the ball with his left foot? That is just a basic requirement of any goalkeeper in this modern era of playing it out from the back and...

Then when he did finally take it, it went straight in fucking John Street!!! Saved from the humiliation by the final whistle. But in his defence, he probably didn’t know what the score was ? 🙄

How about, they introduce a handicap system like in Golf, based on criteria like, financial outlay, International players, recent honours, ground capacity and defensive/attacking stats. Man City and Liverpool could have a handicap of -3 goals and United and Burnley could be on +2...

Don’t think so, it went to our player 🤣

Well that’s the point, I can understand a keeper being closed down after a short back pass or whatever, but it was the length of time he had to make his decision, that negates any possible excuse in these circumstances. I’m not even going to mention the incident later in the game, when the ball...

If you had as long as Gribic did, to make your mind up, then you’re equally culpable and your Dad's must be the manager. 🤣 I don’t think Gribic can rely on that get out, because he could have lit a cigar and still cleared it before Nunez got to him!!

Trusty’s Cat, I believe? Don’t quote me though 🐈

I agree, he’s got a great physique, decent pace, in fact all of the physical attributes you’d want to be a top striker. I just think when he comes on he appears too timid or respectful of the opposition. I’d like to see him be much more aggressive, use his strength more, get his body across his...

Really? He’s stood looking at the whole pitch in front of him, if neither wing back has moved and given him the option of playing it short, he should know that when the ball arrives and knock it long. But instead, he took an eternity to make his decision, by which time the long clearance, was no...

Cos they need four keepers for first team training, he’s taken Jake Eastwoods role.

More to the point, Weerz Gribic??

Back on the G’ville? Handy for work for him 😉

I was going to say the same thing, that was some free kick, to be fair to the fat bastard 😉

Well I expect the plans will include some sort of canteen facility ? 😉

Was it his thigh muscle he ripped when he was with us, that saw him sidelined for months? Wonder if his current injury is related? Hope it’s nothing serious don’t want to miss out on our sell on clause pay out when Liverpool make their move 😉

I stayed until the 90th minute, but only to avoid the traffic 😉

I agree, absolutely no doubt about the that.

Yeah true, exception rather than the rule, if only for the 2 games? But, you can’t deny, Conference, conference north and Scotland are usually where our loanee keepers get their chance.

Of course you do, but being at a top Premier League club will afford a goalkeeper greater opportunities to go out on loan to League 1 or maybe even the Championship, than being st Sheffield United. Loans for keepers are hard to come by and good standard loans even more so. The huge increase in...

I’d be off like a shot, if Man Utd, Man City or Liverpool were interested. He’d likely never get near their first team, but he’d exceed the wages he’d get here, many times over. Plus he’d get much better loans, with any of those three as his parent club. James Traffords profile would never...

Yeah but I doubt he wrote the script and you were right first time, he’s an arsehole 😉

I’m sure the handball rule was, if it was ‘accidental’ handball and as a result the ball ricocheted to the advantage of the offending team, it was a free kick. Meaning ours would have been a pen, as their player diverted the ball away from goal and into the keepers hands. Theirs wouldn’t have...
