Stockport are not mathematically safe yet so the final decision cannot be made at this time. If the deduction does not relegate them this season then it will apply next season.

It suddenly occurred to me this week that the advantage comes after administration when all the debts have been reduced.

I'd forgotten that .

I think everybody should start on -10 to make it fair.

A household name? In football? Is it Peter Kitchen? Am I close? http://www.football-england.com/memories_of_peter_kitchen_famous_english_soccer_player.html

Real football grounds! Yippee!

Could it be £700k down payment and the rest to follow depending on appearances?

There is always the potential income from season tickets which would normally have been received by now. Wouldn't this have paid the staff over the summer?

I agree. That would be the politically acceptable solution to everybody.

The last time I was there was our promotion season. Is it still in the same place?

For info, last season's FA cup dates were: 1st round 8th November 2nd round 29th November

Only if all our international players are called up.

You obviously didn't see MLT play (or McG )

Yeah, whatever. They'll do.

I think the phrase is: 'he'll be disappointed with that'.

You've got to get up earlier to catch me with one of those . I remember a couple of midweeks games at Newcastle where we took a few hundred and I'm sure that someone will point out the game that was iced off at the last minute because the poor Geordies couldn't be trusted to walk to the ground without slipping over. Wasn't that on Sky? New Year's Day?

That's why I said 'likes of'. It's all fading from my memory now (painfully and slowly) but I seem to remember that there was a run of games in October / November that we needed to get about 9 points from and we failed. I'm sure there was a 0-0 in there somewhere, but the point I'm trying to make is that the first game is as important as the last. It's the same with long-term projects. Everybody panics in the last couple of weeks whereas what they should do is panic at the beginning and put their feet up a the end.

No, it's your fault. McGoldrick obviously spotted you working out the scores and it distracted him. It's the same when the players spot that I haven't brought my lucky keyring.

For all the referees, it was a lesson in how not to end a match.

Nobody ever mentions all the 0-0 draws against the likes of Middlesbrough.

Then I suppose that we will have to post the link and add some instructions as to where to find the relevant snippet. I don't think that quoting a couple of words would infringe anybody's sensitivities.

I always run my stopwatch through the match so that I can monitor the added time. I was watching the referee right at the end and he blew for the foul and immediately blew a couple more times to signal the end of the match. When I looked at my watch again it showed 3 mins 38 secs. The referee is the only arbiter of timekeeping.

It was a deliberate own goal. I spoke to somebody who was with the players the evening after the match and he said that when they were in the dressing room after the first invasion they knew the other results and that Saints would be safe with a draw. They all agreed that at the first opportunity they would score a goal to 'equalise' and then all run for cover.

Surely we can repect Baj's instructions. It's no big deal to click on a link.
