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!

definition of good ownership Acrington Stanley
In recent times or 1966?

A stunning performance from Spurs at the weekend.
I don't think something is working.
Maybe Kane needs to leave.

Scorchingly hot here in sunny Teignmouth today.

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?

So do I. His pathetic behaviour was captured by the cameras, so something should be done. Why do players do such things, especially when the game is covered by TV ?
Maybe it will happen.

Mitrovic rolled around with absolute facial pain after NOT being struck in the face.
I hope he is punished retrospectively.

Who can forget that other great football game that left your table covered in spittle, Blow football.

'Super Soccer' was the game using magnets under the plastic pitch surface to control the player figures. I recall there was the option of a half round or smaller 'complete' ball to play with.
I think the brand logo was printed in white in one corner of the pitch or board surround ?
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.

Never really got into Subbuteo but we had another football game. This had a hard plastic pitch about 20" x 12" on legs about 6" tall. There were only 2 or 3 model players each side and they had magnets in their bases. Each human player had a "stick" about 12" long with a magnet at the end, which was used to control the players on the pitch. This was good fun but liable to disruption by cheating (particularly by my Dad), either by inverting one's stick (and hence the magnetic pole) to control the opponent's players, or by striking the underside of the pitch!
I can't remember the name of this game - does anyone else remember it?
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.

Yes Becks kicked Simeone. Gazza’s assault on Gary Charles in a certain FA Cup Final was fairly brutal.
Yes Rooney could have wore 12, 18, 31 or 33.
Clever ploy to allocate 32. But does that mean Leeds United or Middlesbrough can't allocate a number 32 squad number? After all they carry the same sponsor as Derby.
As regards betting sponsorship are you going to take offence against the SKY BET CHAMPIONSHIP? Or Stoke City’s BET365 STADIUM? Surely that means children cannot watch a football league game or visit Stoke’s stadium?
Ultimately all these clubs are seething over the Rooney deal....because they did not think of it first.
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.

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.

The same Wayne Rooney who has lit up the English game with quality football for a long time. Funny how, when mentioning petulant Englishman you conveniently leave out a certain Mr Gascoigne who had a similar temperament to go with his obvious skill.
Whether the above is meant as a joke or not it is poor taste and some of the language could be deemed offensive. Do not stoop into the gutter where some so called fans of all clubs can frequent. You are better than that surely.
14 hours ago, Gareth Collier said:I didn't realise being held up at knifepoint was a joking matter.
I don't think its a joke either, but broadcasting the fact that by threatening players you can determine who can play seems to me to be a strange step. I would have thought a more simple explanation for their exclusion was easier.
Apparently a 2nd altercation has taken place.
Andy, with regards to Gazza, I certainly don't commend his behaviour but then mental health seems to have played a large part in his downfall as has alcohol.
Rooney and the Becks petulant behaviour cost us more dearly. Whilst I appreciated Becks ability to put a long ball onto a sixpence, his kicking out at Simeone was pathetic.
We will wait to see what effect the "32" or "red 32" has on young people. Obviously he could have worn 31 or even 33 but hey!

An inland route would not have this view either
If the sea wall was abandoned at Dawlish and the sea encroached up Dawlish Lawn and further, the inland route might well look similar.

Still recovering from the shock!
We've got Wayne Rooney!!!!!
Don't worry Forest fans - you have Carl Jenkinson!!!!
The same Wayne Rooney that let down a generation of England fans with his petulant behaviour. Just as Mr Bl00dy Wonderful had against Simeone.
I haven't got time for either of the money grabbers.

The red Scouse looked good going forward for 45 minutes against a young team with no ideas.
Let's see how they fare against a better team.
The real football is today when Villa beat Spurs.

Following a second win on Saturday's Thunderball, which I haven't previously mentioned as again £3.00 is hardly life-changing, I have this evening won £5.00 on the Set for Life game.
Whilst I am again not yet in a position to retire, I hope this progression in increasing returns continues, even more so that the rate of increase also accelerates.
However, when the big one lands, I will still remember all you poor people.
When you do win big remember not to crowdfund anything.
Hope all is going well with the elective mute, Jamie. Sounds like fun.

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.
