i believe the banjo and donkey's backside that was delivered to milton's ground was for this purpose.

Diving seems to have become perfectly acceptable even for English players, which is disappointing. don't get me started on the english media's conspiracy of silence when it comes to english players diving. howls of outrage when an opposition player cons the referee, but nothing's said about michael...

when i read about this ridiculous ruling on 'lunging' (you mean TACKLING ffs), i really feared they were going to ruin the tournament. it's not been as bad as i thought it might be, but having just had the week off to enjoy the group stage, it's had me shouting at the television a number of times. n...

only by reputation. i was introduced to the competition via ex-colleagues who had worked together at blackwell's (hence the rather bizarre team name) - they were always fans of the tournament there. 258th now, and continually amazed at how psychic some people are. bloody argentina, they should have ...

Let's not go through this bit of revisionism again (not you personally GY, but I've seen it so often from others over the years). We were not going to get promoted the season Atkins left - yes, we were 5th at the time, but in freefall, with terrible form and worse performances. We were lucky to be ...

any other rage online posters doing this?

joint 155th at the moment... i thought i was doing okay but 204 points is 14 points per game... pretty impressive stuff. ah well.

i think i'm about to come unstuck with my hunches about italy and the usa. still, you never know!

that is interesting. to take the discussion slightly off-topic, i wondered if anyone had any views on this: almost 50 per cent of the Trust's 1,281-strong membership failed to vote. in relation to the issue of oxvox's membership numbers. i don't know whether this is the case (perhaps our york-based ...

although you can't vote unless you're registered, non?

If that is the case, that is rather worrying. The Smith and Merry team had watched more than just 3 games prior to the takeover and should have been aware of the task in hand - although in football it would appear that the task is always bigger than first thought! That perspective could also be see...

Not sure I entirely agree with this. Merry et al were well aware of the looming transfer deadline and the handful of games remaining, so what drove them to rush the deal through when they did? Why not postpone the deal until the close season and use the time to construct an appropriate deal to purc...

'NM and KT confirmed that the club had a secure long-term lease, for 20 years with an option to extend, at an affordable rent which would be subject only to adjustment for inflation. There was provision for the rent to rise or fall depending on the league in which the club played.' From the OxVox s...

apparently we spoke to him about a move, but 'were linked' are the operative words:

apologies for the link to the dubious website.

i hope sills gets a chance to show what he can do at conference level, and hopefully with a few crosses coming into the box. after all, a lot of people are saying we need players proven at this level who know their way round this league. sills is it, even if he may not have been able to cut it the l...

i'm trying to ignore this. god knows how they'd prove it.

although we were discussing boston recently and their mysteriously deep pockets:

nope, not thinking about it. it's the hope that kills you.

F U C K. That sounds an awful lot of money to watch non league football. On the drive home I began to seriously reconsider how many of those 'returning now he's gone' fans will pull £320 out their pocket for a season ticket? or perhaps they'll decide to slum it in the east stand for £235. that does...
