    Thank heavens for the play-offs

    Play offs were originally conceived cause they wanted to reduce the size of the top division, which went from 22 to 21 then 20. Once this was achieved they were kept but only for teams competing for promotion. It must have boosted clubs financially over the years, there must be very few clubs...

    Squatters

    Absolutely brilliant. Great day for supporters who spend their hard earned money following them week in and week out, year in year out, in the National League.

    Paolo Gazziniga

    leicester werent quite the plucky underdogs everyone makes out, they still spent hundreds of millions on their stadium, facilities and players, it may have been less than some other teams but they still bought the title to some extent.

    Thank you Neil Harris

    Yes if if if. If we'd beaten fleetwood, if we'd got more points, if we'd scored more goals, if we had better players, if we had bigger crowds, if we had more money, if the refs didnt all get together and actively conspire against us. I must be the only person who is pleased to see the back of...

    Great works of literature

    I think the only way to read these "great" works of literature is slowly and to fully immerse yourself in the world, and really ask yourself if you want to read it, or do i want to have read it ( two conpletely different approaches). Patience is required and just go where the story takes you...

    The Official Crewe Alexandra Match Thread (Sponsored by 27 quid match tickets "for all your "value for money" needs")

    We've scored 9, that is the joint lowest in the division with Harrogate in a league incidentally where goals are generally free-flowing at an average of around 3 per match. Swindon have scored three times as many already. Yes we won 4 in a row at the start, scoring 4 goals in the process, so...

    Interesting News Around the Football League

    FC Isle of Man play in the North West Counties League in the same division as Bury FC and our old adverseries Burscough. Must be some expensive away days for them.

    FA Fine and Sanction

    In mitigation Mr Scally explained the majority of the fanbase came from the Medway towns (para 15). What has that got to do with it?

    ARE FOOTBALLERS REALLY FITTER THAN EVER ?

    In all sports it is very difficult to establish what is the "right' amount of training/practice. Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis were talking about this, on Hendry's youtube channel. Both were prodigious practicers, but there may come a point where more practice is futile or even starts having...

    Rachel Riley n/g

    Ah but you can never be proved innocent, you are presumed innocent unless otherwise proven guilty. And the audio may or may not be taken out of context, i am not saying that this is the case here but what if a snippit of an audio was released of a couple role playing? Without the benefit of all...

    Rachel Riley n/g

    Depends how you define 'innocent' we dont know whether or not any conviction would have resulted from a trial. Also, being guilty is "beyond a reasonable doubt" that you did whatever. If that threshold is not reached does that make someone "innocent"? In the eyes of the law it does. Innocent...

    Is there still any reason to vote Conservative?

    I am not sure whether this thread is an attempt to "flush out" Conservative voters but the sense i get reading through the thread is that although people are disillusioned with the government there is no great love for Labour nor any overwhelming tingle of excitement with the prospect of a...

    Is there still any reason to vote Conservative?

    There is a group of people who believe that having a Conservative government is always the best option and will thus always vote that way. Likewise there is a group of people who believe the same of the Labour party. These groups used to be much larger and they are getting smaller as time...

    No. The match between Bradford City and Lincoln City was abandoned shortly before half time at 0-0. Result stood. That was the Bradford stadium fire match in 1985.

    The Official Walsall Match Thread (Sponsored by Chicken Balti Pies "for all your match snack needs")

    Either people think the ref is making an honest decision or not. If not then that opens up all sort of conspiracies. Why refs would choose to be biased against Gills of all teams is a mystery. But there is nothing stopping people taking up the whistle themselves if they think they can do better.

    Gary Lineker and free speech (n/g)

    I think that the bbc licence fee has become increasingly controversial as the bbc gets around 3 billion quid a year. Gary Lineker is the highest paid entertainer paid for by our money. There is a perception he acts as if he is untouchable and not governed by the same rules. How we act in our...

    Joe Dunne - diving header into the top corner with no one near him away at exeter in about 1994. He was immediately substituted as well.
