Re: Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

not quite sure how it all works, but with Sheffield Wednesdays prospective new owners pulling out, there is talk of them potentially being hit with another points deduction and so starting on -12 points next season as they are likely to still be in administration by that point also saw something ab...

Re: Weekend Football

Agree, this sort of crowding at corners needs to have something done about it globally. I absolutely detest the stupidity of it all as it nearly always develops into ridiculous pushing and shoving and the ref only too eager to blow the whistle and give a free kick to the defending team. Don’t “set p...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2024/25

A consequence of category 1 academies being able to take top prospects even from other category 1 academies with relative ease. Shouldn't be allowed imo. Agreed. Really should be looking at bringing back the old maximum travel time/distance rules or bring in better protections for clubs to retain p...

Re: What do people expect from a football team and manager

Not disagreeing with you, i think you’re right, that the numbers we are getting through the gate are probably our hardcore number. What i do find surprising is that number is so low. We are at 1998 levels of support. in the last 28 years we achieved premier league football for three years an FA cup...

Re: Weekend Football

I know my eyes aren't great but I thought the ball just hit Macca's back and I'm not sure that the point of the elbow would have produced enough power especially as he didn't make any additional movement of the arm. MacAllister himself said it hit him on the elbow as well as his back and he accepte...

Re: Scottish premier league.

Surely if you have a division larger than 10 clubs you eventually get more sides that can make a game of things which surely is better for the game up there as a whole. If sides improve they should build bigger fan bases and become more of a threat to the Scottish trophies. In Scotland it’s always t...
