Not having experienced the critical analysis and general bon hommie of the Northam clientele I am unable to comment on the general approach to stewarding afforded by those worthies in that section of the ground, however, if it resembles that adopted by their colleagues in other sections then much is left to be desired. Crowd control is not their finest point as any fan wishing to use the 'catering', or toilet facilities are left to their own devices and quite literally have force their way through the inconsiderate crowds to reach their intended destination while our erstwhile stewards are sitting on their a---s , keeping out of the way The trainees should end up well instructed in the finer arts to practise on 'Johnny Foreigner' at the London Olympics.

Don Rogers only played for Swindon Town. Think you mean, Don Roper, God, your old if you remember him from 1956.

Think he's one Bernie's relations. - He would wish !

Well done, Lets B, a bloody excellent posting about the days when football was fun to watch, not like todays game, full of tossers and posers, and thats only the referees, etc The players ?. Overpaid, overfed, and (most of them) over here.

I know what you mean, Badger, though others seem to find it diffiicult. I though that the illustrious BWP was already here before Pardew popped out of the woodwork. - and when did we sign this Chris Bart-Williams. Is 'Tony Husband a Skate-lover. !

Straits of Magellan, via short-wave radio on my trusty Pye Cambridge multi-band and the BBC World Service, - which, incidentally the powers that be are considering shutting down. Bloody Philistines are alive and well in Westminister.

Had the same problem and followed the instructions, (see Bridgeys posting, above). My considered opinion is that the whole HD lark is a big scam by Sky to squeeze more cash out of Joe Public. I real can't see any difference from a well tuned digital TV so why pay through the nose for something that gives little or no improvement for picture quality, especially when all they show is 'Premier' League garbage. You may safely assume I have no intention of becoming a subscriber

By my calculations the Illustrious Cheaters will have been in Admin' for 200 days tomorrow. Have'nt worked out how many Sundays that covers . So 'Sidthesquid' is not going to be very far out with his £86 grand estimate.

Explain to Puncheon, in simple terms, what the white posts are for at the ends of the pitch, (and I dont mean the corner posts) The two in the middle are there to hold the crossbar up and if the ball passes between those posts and under the 'bar then its called a 'goal', If it passes over the 'bar its called 'Row Z'

Thanks for the explanation, Admins, I apologised to the PC for giving it a bloody good kicking.

Must be nice to have a player who does'nt want to be there, even before he's stepped through the door. By the way who will be paying his wages, until the 11th December, (the Emergency Loan cut-off date) ? Stoke or 'The Cheats'

Apparently is a very succesful manager in Helvetia. Has managed the Swiss national side, VfB Stuttgart. and Graashoppers Zurich. Also, His first mangerial job was with Schaffhausen which is where Markus had some of his factories. FC Luzern are currently top of the Swiss league

Yesterdays 'Telegraph mentioned Rolf Fringer, manager of Lucerne, (Switzerland), as a possible candidate. Anybody know anything about him.

Half a mile from Marchport

Have'nt we had enough of Dutch 'managers'. ?

Red Army and Benji both talking 'cohones' . No way will Glenda ever get us promoted. Amen.

Supporters to get half-price admission if they bring their boots and kit.

What a load of b-----ks from Derek Pringle. Pietersen has nailed his colours to the mast with Hampshire and so must suffer the consequences. Are Hampshire expected to drop Jamie Vince for a poseur who can't tell his bat from his bails, at the moment Better still drop Peitersen and pick Vince for the Ashes tour. Sad to say, though, I don't think that will happen.

Are the trains running late. ? I thought it was the 6:57 crew.

....and the attendance was underwhelming as well, 9000+. The 'world's best fans, TM' have suddenly gone to ground, - but Deepdale was'nt one of them.

Why am I not surprised at that. ?

Just what any self-respecting 'shyster' would do. He was'nt named Teflon for nothing.

Football-wise, good as Bellamy is, there is something wrong with his attitude, vis-e-vis look at the number of clubs that he has played for and with how many of them has he lasted beyond one season, sometimes not even that. Seems to be another like Keane, currently of Tottingham, at the moment, that is.

Might have been better if it had been a so-called 'rolling' contract to terminate by mutual consent, as and when.

Not before time. Grossly overated, on the strength of one or two free kicks and mind-boggling PR.
