Aye, I suppose so. One of life's 'if only' moments.
I don't know why I'm getting het up about either of those clubs TBF. |

It was the final penalty. If I could do a screen grab I would. At the point of contact Onana has already stepped forward onto his left peg, and his right is airborne. So nothing is in contact with the line.
My error in that it wasn't saved, it was blazed over the bar, but the point remains - if matches are being decided on fine margins, then an advancing keeper in a shoot out is one such example that went overlooked. |

Excellent to see the continuing inconsistent rules in play - penalising Coventry for a marginal (though correct) offside, but failing abysmally to spot United's keeper taking a massive step forward before saving one spot kick. It should have been retaken. |

Why refer to him as BotBot? He is not a figure of fun, or amusement, but a man who brought irreversible harm on the club. That should never be forgotten, and I for one do not view him benignly. |

My father was in an earlier intake than that - probably when it was in the Town Centre, mid-Forties. His overriding memory was of the head, Dr. Payne. Even the mention of his name made him shudder. This was in the days of school uniforms with caps - apparently a daily ritual was for all the boys to be outside at the start of the day, cap held aloft. Only when every boy had fallen into line would Dr Payne allow entrance. And woe betide the boy who forgot his cap.
Funny how the most feared teachers made the biggest and most long-lasting impression. Although in the Doctor's case, I think the impression was actually physical, meted out by cane or slipper. |

Good evening Cobbler150
Which club were you referring to when you said that 'fraud of a club just up the road'? There are several around here I dislike, to varying degrees, so just wondered which of these had upset you, and why.
Cheers. [Post edited 18 Mar 18:57]

“Paul Walsh, a 56-year-old roofer, said he knew all about the controversy but he was still going to vote Labour anyway.”
I’m no expert, but how would this be possible? |

So with his Pendle connections, and membership of Lancashire County Council, does he support PNE, Rovers or Burnley? I won't accept it would ever be Dale. |

Certainly more use than commemorative Sunderland mugs. Even in the NW of England.
Perhaps less useful for drinking tea from, though. |

"Anybody remember the days when we had a successful Goldbond at the club, how much cash did that generate every month towards the playing budget? Cash streams that are completely ignored while the club becomes more and more desperate."
Anyone remember which deplorable man decided he knew better, scrapped Goldbond and replaced it with a vastly inferior and more costly replacement?
Another baleful strand of that man's legacy. |

A few names in that Leeds line-up went on to become well-known names:
David Harvey who was the main keeper between 1970 and the late 70s, and starred in the 1974 World Cup for Scotland;
Eddie Gray - the man who later went on to rescue us from the ignominy of relegation from the bottom division (imagine that);
Terry Hibbit who played for a few top line clubs;
Is 'M Bates' Mick Bates who played as a defender for Leeds for several seasons? |

“Probably the worst decisions the club ever made.”
I’m not sure how it compares in ‘worstness’ against the decision to allow Bottomley within five miles of the place. |

Never fully understood what RAFC did wrong in the 1980 re-election.
It was the other voting clubs who decided the outcome, and unless RAFC was responsible for the two no-shows, how could it be blamed?
It gained, certainly, by retaining League status, but surely any chairman in Ratcliffe' position would have done exactly the same - even Alty's chairman.
I do remember walking home from school on that day in 1980 with a mate holding his transistor radio to his ear, determined to break the news of RAFC's demise, and the general air of disbelief that it hadn't happened. |

Correct. The baleful legacy left by Bottomley, BBM, Bentley and others who thought relegation, from any division, acceptable.
Good luck lad. Give your best and you will be backed. |

Not a complete solution by any means, but I can remember the days when the players warmed-up for an evening game by the light of a single floodlight. Not a single pylon - a single bulb.
That's my starter solution. There must be others. If we're not using it, we won't have to pay for it. |

I do hate the way Rochdale keeps moving around on the map. It was a bad marriage that saw Campbell sign when Rochdale happened to be in the north.
Shouldn't happen. |

Bazunu and Sanchez were both loan players.
Both were goalkeepers.
There the similarity ends. |
