  1. Congratulations to George Dowell and Worthing FC who are the champions of the Pitching In Isthmian League Premier Division Trophy for the first time in the clubs history! George was one of the most promising youth footballers of his peer group in Worthing and at the young age of 17 was involved in a car crash that consigned him to a wheelchair. He managed to purchase Worthing FC and under his ownership it has gone from strength to strength. Promotion now means they are in the 6th tier of English football next season for the first time.
  2. I am not sure how Julie Walters held it together last night on her Coastal Railway tv programme. The woman showing her around Edinburgh station and the secret passage from the station to the station hotel, said " I'll show you the secret passage, it's at the back, I'll take you up there now." Titter ye not!
  3. A stunning performance from Spurs at the weekend. I don't think something is working. Maybe Kane needs to leave.
  4. Scorchingly hot here in sunny Teignmouth today.
  5. Pep Guardiola tapped several Spurs & City players around the back of the head after the match but non fell over mortally wounded. What's going on?
  6. Maybe it will happen. https://www.givemesport.com/1497856-aleksandar-mitrovic-could-face-a-twogame-ban-after-disgraceful-playacting-v-huddersfield
  7. Mitrovic rolled around with absolute facial pain after NOT being struck in the face. I hope he is punished retrospectively.
  8. Who can forget that other great football game that left your table covered in spittle, Blow football.
  9. My Super Soccer pitch was tin/metal. Little plastic corner flags had a 'foot' that was tucked under the wooden surround. The goals were similar.
  10. I had this game also, you often ended up hit the underneath of the pitch making things jump. Another game was "Floppy Soccer." It had a flat round disc ball like a draughts piece and both players had a similar disc that was on the end of a piece of thin flexible wire about a foot long, maybe 18". The pitch was about 2' long and had 1" high rivets sticking up to represent fixed players (fixed obstacle). You had to kind of slide the floppy wired disc around to hit the disc goalward whilst your opponent did similar.
  11. Chill Andy it's only a game. I'm sure Derby will prosper and you won't have to defend them so vigorously. I dont think Gazzas FA cup gbh let down a generation of England footballing supporting kids like the other two did. But hey I guess we will have to disagree on that.
  12. Howay the lads you can beat the Ar5e. I see the lovely curly locked Gwen Douzi is running around in her usual headless chicken style.
