WestYorksRoyal Big week then. Hope it's all rubbish and we go bust just so we can laugh at the ITK morons on Twitter.


Bit weird.

Re: LOLiverpooLOL - Next Season

I'm surprised at how little mention the perennial cheat has had for the fact that he should have been sent off. Fernandez, once again, gets away with a dreadful challenge. Not a straight red, but clearly a yellow and a second one. If he'd been the one on the end of the tackle, he'd still be lying on...

Re: What day will the news break?

Potentially a big week ahead, maybe even make or break. What day this week do you think, official (not waffle on X) news will come out regards the sale of the club? If at all. Read rumours on X on Monday, Given false hope on Tuesday, Dai was moving the goalposts on Wednesday and on Thursday, Friday...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Several posts on twitter, mostly seeing one and copying it, saying it`s a done deal, I paid particular interest to the directors box today and Mark Bowen was a lonely figure sitting in the front row on his own. Now if we were on the verge of an imminent takeover to would expect some of them to be h...

Re: Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

Outside of the big clubs, how many major trophy winners in the last 30ish years have survived without a massive adverse financial impact.

Portsmouth
Wigan
Birmingham
Blackburn
Leicester (apparently in some FFP trouble)
Everton

Those that seem to have ‘survived’ success
Swansea ?
Middlesbrough ?

Re: Weekend Football

One of my pet hates when watching football on TV is the insistence on naming the man if the match before the end if the game. It always makes me want to see a massive change in the game.

And along comes Wolves v Coventry ……… YES !!!!!!!!!

Re: Wycombe will be culpable.

Less than two weeks ago there were comments that literally ANYONE would do as an owner to get rid of Dai.
Now there are comments about Saudi’s, American’s, etc.
Have we really decided that the death of the club would be better than either of those or similar ?

Re: Wycombe will be culpable.

If the separate sale of Bearwood facilitates the sale of the club (I know it’s a stretch) then Wycombe will have been instrumental in SAVING the club ….. just saying

Re: MATCHWATCH : Derby County (a)

JP had every chance of getting his hands on the ball and may well have done, if the two players then collide then how is that an offence. Is JP not allowed to run as quickly as Gayle. If Gayle handles the ball before any collision then that is the first offence and the point at which the ref should...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Derby County (a)

If you dont want to concede penalties, you don't rush out of your box and bundle into a player, knowing that will mean the ref will have to make a decision based on what he has seen. Every single comment along the lines of "it was crystal clear" is because you are watching on a TV with th...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Derby County (a)

Of course it’s nothing like a penalty but being generous to the ref, seeing Gayle handball it might have been difficult. Though I’d have thought the first conclusion would have been Perreira got to the ball first which again wouldn’t have been a pen Proper cheating from Gayle though - punch the bal...

Re: Weekend Football

Definitely a penalty
Cannot understand the decision at all
Whether he gets the ball or not is not relevant given that he makes (albeit glancing) contact with Mac Alister’s chest
