We don't need or deserve 10% of all stadiums. We still have tickets on sale for Old Trafford so let's safely assume we won't sell 7/8,000. An allocation of 3,000 is perfectly fair. As for rights you're the one bleating about 4,000 theoretical Liverpool/Arsenal fans who can't go to Old Trafford but I still don't understand why those people have more of a right to go than the 4,000 United fans (some Season ticket holders) already in those seats. Clubs don't expand stadiums for the benefit of effing away supporters. Bigger clubs having more supporters and bigger grounds is not an "unfair advantage", it's a perfectly fair advantage. If we want a bigger ground, we need to get more fans and then build a bigger stadium - you've told me so often about our huge catchment area, and the fans that will flock to us once we're challenging for Europe so only a matter of time before your predicted expansion takes place, ain't it? And no, your "solution" doesn't impact SFC because they don't need to change anything, but, how convenient, other clubs do have to change things that would directly impact their own supporter base. How "fair".

Maybe not, but the PFA having a different stance to now - making it very difficult for those convicted of sexual violence to return to professional football rather than the complete opposite - would be huge step in the right direction. Oldham are leaning on the PFA to support them right now so probably fair to assume they would be far less likely to bother if that wasn't the case. Of course The FA (and the two leagues) should make the ruling, but the PFA should support it. Your point about being paid to play for a pub team is a pretty pointless one. There are plenty of Chedettes around I imagine eventually some sap will pay him a grand a week to play for their pub team just to "prove a point". In fact, what the Oldham chairman and his girlfriend's dad seem to be doing is effectively just that at a richer scale. But anyway, it's looking like he's going to get his contract soon so Chedettes start the party.

I see the club on twitter today saying tickets on general sale for the United trip. But yeah, we desperately need a 10% allocation of 8,000 seats at Old Trafford. So patently unjust.

So people not being allowed to pursue a career in professional football is a life "completely destroyed"? Interesting, especially in the context what has happened to his victim. There's plenty of other things one can do with ones lives, I have never said he can't work. He can, and should - it's fundamental to rehabilitation. But being a professional footballer is not a human right. If it was, I'd be banging on the door of St Marys demanding the number 11 shirt and a six year contract. Let's hope the campaign to stop those guilty of sexual violence from being pro footballers is successful but unlikely it will be with the gutless weasels running the PFA.

The wailing and gnashing of teeth of those theoretical 'plastic' Man U fans won't match the grizzling and whining from you about our perfectly reasonable and fair allocation for Old Trafford. And, what a surprise, your solution to this "patently unjust" problem is something that has no impact whatsoever on SFC but a significant impact on other clubs and their supporters, whose home fans it turns out have less of a right to go to games than away fans. That's nice and fair then. But hey, fuc k them. Clubs should be punished for daring to have bigger grounds.

What should the percentage be, then? 5%? And presumably you're okay if Man Utd, Spurs, Arsenal reciprocate and only ever offer 1,500 tickets to us? Don't understand what relevance Old Trafford being bigger and Man U having more fans than other clubs has to this debate. The 10%/3,000 rule is fair and perfectly logical.

If it takes a "mob" (lol) to change football's rules to stop convicted rapists playing professionally then so be it. I wouldn't want a rapist at Saints. That article is classic newspaper columnists trying to "move the story on" through boredom. Comes from the same thinking of "I like equality for women but it's gone too far the other way now" pub bore bulls hit.

I think the "but why isn't every similar situation in history not the same as this" angle has been well covered by Batman. I look forward to reading your thread demanding Rolf Harris is back on TV the minute he walks out of his prison doors.

Not really. Poch would never conceivably have made that jump from mid table Saints to Real. Koeman to Barca is a more realistic move because of his affinity to the club, and the fact that while Real only really appoint Galactico huge name managers, Barca are less inclined to do that and more inclined to appoint "one of their own". I wouldn't lose much sleep over it, but along with the Dutch National job there are the couple of roles I think RK would walk for.

Ha. I've just had an email from the original Ched Evans petition author to sign another one directed at the PFA/FA to ban people convicted of sexual violence from playing football professionally. I done gone and signed it. Quite fun to weird an electronic pitchfork for a couple of minutes. Basically I am up there with Rosa Parks.

Lots of reports of "Barca in crisis" so Koeman as replacement is an easy and fairly logical rumour to start. Let's hope there's nothing in it, or at very least Ron doesn't walk out until we've lifted the Cup in May.

You seem very upset that Luke McCormack is allowed to continue his career but also very upset that Ched Evans isn't. So, in true Delldays style, like, how does that work? If McCormack working is so wrong, then what's happening to Evans is the right thing, right?

Some people eat sandwiches all the time and don't get done for murder.

Not like you to take the "everyone's a hypocrite" angle on an issue. Oh.

It's probably Sporting Lisbon paying journalists to write destabilising stories about Porto.

If we all did it arms outstretched Kate and Leo style I think it could be quite iconic. Take that, Galatasary.

No team can ever do any better than fourth place, so obviously we should be graded A+.

On the topic of theme songd I have to say I do like the Sheffield United Annie's Song anthem, although more than a little annoying last time I heard it. And Derby have a good one too. And Palace. Hull seemed to be trying to get Caravan of Love to be their song but didn't seem that effective (but have only been to the KC once, this season). Woolston Ferry is never going to catch on, we'd need a brand new local anthem. Walking Away by Craig David is my suggestion.

As soon as I saw that photo I immediately assumed that Manchester United had paid the Daily Mail to set the whole thing up. Just typical of them, we've go no hope of top four while this kind of thing is going on.

Dear me. I've done plenty of Evans outrage but behave yourself. I love you Bearsy.

BBC saying Oldham now getting cold feet. The board didn't anticipate the reaction, apparently. Dear god.

Well done lads, you've done us proud there. Idiots.

With Fulham v Wolves and Doncaster v Bristol Rovers the competition I think we might have a decent chance.

Okay then.

I know.
