I knew there used to be a roof over a section of the Town End next to the main stand but that was fairly common knowledge and this is from the other end of the pitch.

RG30 Scenes in Budapest.

For a Route 1 goal, the winner was a thing of beauty. Lovely floated ball in by Kellagher, excellent flick on by Scales and Parrott read it brilliantly. 5 seconds, 3 touches, goal.

They may well have known, or maybe heard rumours, internally about the points deduction before it was made public. yeah, I am 100% certain that happened the following season. But it also says something about the club at the same time that it affected the players so badly two seasons in a row. I rem...

Ireland are 2-0 up against Portugal at half-time. Would blow that group wide open going into the final round of fixtures if Ireland were to win. Ronny sent off when Ireland already 2 up. Result unlikely to change much though in a group that’ll see Portugal and Hungary qualify. Ireland have basicall...

I think he's a good signing. We know what he's capable of and I think it's a signing that allows other players (Wing, Savage) to play in their more natural position.

Arguably Oldham have been that third club because geographically they've been the North East side of Manchester as opposed to United in the West and City in the south. Potentially Stockport to the South as well (not forgetting Bury and Rochdale). Surely it's no coincidence that their slide down the ...

Prefer Pepsi but it's better than Rola-Cola

Joining them as a development coach.

"Ok boys, always remember to warm up fully beforehand. Be nice and limber. You don't want to be out for a month with a snapped banjo string"

The former manager previously AKA “Fatty Fist Pump” needs a new nickname. He was also very reasonable in his comments given his previous connections. The excess skin must be horrendous but fair play to him for losing so much weight, he’s half the man he used to be! He's a bit like Colin - someone w...

Yiadom has also covered at CB so, whilst I wouldn't pick him there in a CB pairing, he could maybe add a bit of pace at the back alongside Williams and O'Connor with Ritchie or Abrefa on the right.

I guess he must be fit and ready to go, otherwise a deal until January seems a bit pointless.

One of Richardson's favoured formations is apparently 3-5-2 so maybe a wing back? Yiadom started out as a winger so could do a similar job on the right.

About to sign Surprised Rino isn't attached to any club, did well last season for Cardiff. If fit would be a good addition. Cardiff's POTS last season. As you say, if he's fit and half as good as he was last time he was here, he'll be a fantastic addition. I know nothing about Williams other than h...

I think we’ll see quite a lot of movement early in the transfer window anyway in both directions If Hunt is banging on about 3-4 more players needed which he wasn’t supported on I don’t think his helping himself mind you. The numbers were plenty sufficient just the profiles, performances and injuri...

The Couhig-Dellor thing goes back to last year when Dellor was unquestioningly parroting everything Dai said in the press and effectively briefed against Couhig, particularly around the whole Bearwood thing. At the time, Couhig said "The truth will out eventually" and the truth has largely...

I think Fraser, O'Connor, Ritchie and Lane will prove to be good signings and Marriott and Williams have proven to be good signings None of the loans have added anything although Burns has had flashes of adequacy. I'd send the lot back in January though if at all possible. DK is the sort or signing ...

I think Richardson will have learnt a hell of a lot more from that collapse than he would have from an insipid 2-0 or 2-1 win. He clearly nailed a lot of our problems from 120 minutes of football.

I'll take that as a crumb of comfort rather than a positive.

Yeah, let's not look at goal difference though. I make it -18 and I've only got to 1899.

It's effectively a salary cap by the back door. I guess it works in American sports by there's greater parity between the size of the respective franchises (except maybe in MLS but clubs have allocated squad slots which can be paid outside the cap). I guess it could work and it shows that owners are...

Criticising Beattie and Schofield for their management record when they've been hired as coaches is pretty special. Not all coaches make good managers. Not succeeding as a manager doesn't make you a bad coach. Some people are just determined to be negative. I don't particularly like playing the man...
