I remember seeing Peter Barnes at the Goldstone may have been 1980, sometime around then anyway. He cut us up whenever he was on the ball. His only mistake was to ever pass it to one of the plonkers that made up the rest of West Brom at the time.

The Stockport Fairly Big may be there. Not sure yet.

First half it looked like boys (and a couple of old buffers) against men - which I guess it was. But second half we matched or bettered them and sometimes played well. Oldham looked to me like they're trying to model themselves on the other northern athletic, Wigan. A draw at their place is...

Stoke is a crappy, backwards, hole populated by lowlife throwbacks. Stoke City FC play in the same way as their fans behave - mindless, aggressive, dirty, mean, 20 years at least behind the times. No one goes to Stoke if they can help it. I don't think Joel Lynch is a fool. Therefore I don't...

I'm sure that they CAN disciminate between home and away fans. Last year we paid double what the home fans did at Stoke and at Sheffield Utd to name two - there may have been others too that I didn't go to. It shouldn't be allowed, but it is. I tried complaining to the FA - waste of time as...

There was a referee - it was he who sent me off. I guess he must have been about 16 years old. He was certainly smaller and looked younger than all of the opposition and most of my son's team. Doing his best I suppose but not wanting to upset them too much for obvious reasons.

Its easy to always assume that the problem is down to over aggressive, win at all costs type dads. And fair enough, there's plenty of them around. But don't forget that the players aren't all 7 year old angels. I admit that as a dad I was sent off from a match watching my son at under 16s...

Falkirk - the Bairns. Lived and worked up there a few years ago. Falkirk fans outnumbered about 20 to 1 by both Rangers and Celtic fans at work, but they were decent non-sectarian folks. Great atmosphere at the old ground - at the time they, like us, were having trouble getting permission for...

Yesterday was my first home game for a couple of years. Leaving aside the team's performance itself which was crap, on the plus side it was great to be walking to a ground in the majority colours, not having boring abuse of the faggot variety hurled our way by brainless northern prats. But on...

I was listening to 5 live this afternoon to the Palace Leeds match. Did you hear the deafening chorus of boos that greeted Seb Carole's arrival on the pitch for Leeds? Neither did I.

Revell was good on saturday. I was impressed with all aspects of his game but especially the goal because it came as a result of using his brain. He moved from the right wing along the line but stayed onside, into space on the left, took the ball well on his chest, turned and scored. He...

I live a long way from Brighton so I may have missed out on any evidence that CKR has a real attitude problem. It seems to me that his style of play is always going to make it look like his attitude is suspect whether it is or not. So he showboats at half time - good. Its good to see a...

Kerry boy was good yesterday and so were all the rest of the team. We would have won by 2 or 3 I reckon but obviously the ref didn't fancy that so he screwed things for the second half to keep the locals happy. But second half the lads did well - they actually looked like they knew what they...

A lot of folk seem to be making excuses for the ref. I was at the match and the fact is that he was bent as a 13 bob note. Do you think he would have booked and sent off Rotherham players for the same offences - he would not. And where did the 4 minutes injury time come from? Who was he...

I know I'm a grumpy old git. And I know that it would be absolute hell without the terrace humour. And I know that I'm proud as the proudest thing that I'm one of the Albion fans and we're the best. But enough. So, Stoke fans cheered us at the end of the game. Wolves fans did the same last...

I can't be the only one who hates Stoke. Its the worst place I suffer for the Albion. The whole town seems full of aggressive inbreds - no exceptions, you never find a friendly person in Stoke. After another season full of low points, I'm begging the Albion - give us something happy to last...

Goring Gull, you can blame McGoo for many things but not for not motivating the team to win 3 more games. If they can't motivate themselves to win and can't be motivated by the Albion fans behind them, then stuff them. McGoo has to coach them and manage them and get them playing to the best of...

Just heard that Lewes won't be alowed in the playoffs for the Conference. Sorry for my ignorance on this, which I put down to being up north, but why?

Quote: Like most urban area,s there are parts of Stoke-on-Trent,that have become little enclaves of some distant land All parts of stoke-on-Trent are some distant land - The land that time forgot. The fact that the place is full of facists is no surprise to anyone who's been there. It was like...

All those of you who want ManU to win the league in preference to Chelsea obviously don't live anywhere near Manchester. I do, and have done for 10 years and they are unbearable. Their fans, some of them, are the only fans of any club who have been happy to tell me that "Football's a business...
