Re: WATERWATCH : Port Vale (a)

I’d be surprised if the current pitch is any worse than that of 5th May 1979!

I remember it well. An absolute cabbage patch bog of a marsh!

Re: MATCHWATCH : Wycombe Wanderers (h)

Yiadom is quite possibly the worst ‘defender’ I have ever seen. Totally clueless.

Re: Richardson out

How many goals do you see conceded every week, at every level thanks to unnecessary fannying around in and around the 18 yard box?

Get it up the pitch!

That's not hoofball, morever common sense.

Oh for Wally Downes..........

Re: You can’t say I didn’t warn you!

Business consortium takes over the Club costing them Millions and now there's a cash flow problem! You seriously couldn't make this up.

There is no end to this.

Really wish we had been liquidated and started completely afresh.

Re: 40 years ago today...

I have reminisced about this game a thousand times and posted on her several times about it. It never gets boring. I would say there was 10,000 in the ground possibly more. The Southbank was packed. Plymouth took the Town End capacity of 3,000 without a doubt. Other memories of the day. Plymouth fan...

Re: Poll: Should Noel Hunt be sacked?

Wizard A club that barely existed a few months ago and the fans are desperate to get rid of a guy who’s given his all for this club for many years. No wonder football’s in such a state. SMH.


Given his all = totally irrelevant
Sleepwalking towards relegation with a charlatan = totally relevant

We (often) play badly and get beaten.
We (rarely) play well and get beaten.
Said all along Hunt is not a manager. Not now, not ever.
He will be sacked. I just hope it isn’t left too long.

Re: Confimred - Liam Fraser

Like this signing, gives more tactical flexibility and adds some steel to our sometimes lightweight midfield. Also frees up Wing to push forward or not play every single minute of L1 again lol. Crawley fans speak highly of him too. Welcome to the club! The ‘mighty’ Crawley whose fans also spoke hig...

Re: Next seasons kit choice?

Absolutely hideous

Who is it at the club that chooses the kit design?

And can someone please tell me just what is wrong with the traditional blue and white hooped kit with WHITE shorts and socks of the early ‘70s???

Re: Noel Hunt Confrimed

Just how and why is anyone surprised?! Selles knew the risks and the territory. He kept them up and did wonders with us. He has two big ticks on his CV. Football is a merciless game. I wouldn't be surprised if Hunt is replaced. SJM "surprisingly" binned Evans for Branfoot in 1991 after tak...

Whatever the circumstances behind their achievement this year, congratulations to them notwithstanding.

What greater motivation do we need to immediately take it back from them in League 1 next year.

Re: 50 Not Out

Most famously, of course, THAT Plymouth game. 2-0 down at HT at home, then 3-0 just after the restart had many thinking about leaving early but then Deano scored from the penalty spot after an hour or so. Then, as the clock reached 80 minutes all hell started breaking loose, first Bremner started p...

Re: On This Day

I think the whole board can agree, the mid to late 70s were the best ever days to support RFC. 1978-79 was magic - particularly this time of season with the three local derbys at easter and Steve Death's amazing run. Yeah, I loved that season - like the first hit of a drug that turns you into an ad...

Re: Steve Death - new book

Deathy was definitely one of my favourite players of the era. I remember loads about him. How he used to nonchalantly lean up against the post when we were attacking. His range at goal kicks wasn’t the best especially against the wind. His style of drop-kicking was unique at the time. One of the bes...
