Having loadsamoney doesn't stop players making genuine mistakes. The higher paid players can still make the same mistakes.

Or when the paparazzi start saying England can win the world cup if they beat Israel convincingly. Or they would want McClaren strung up by the balls if they get beat. Other point. Why does the Rugby World Cup take as long as the Cricket World Cup to complete. Who dreams up these long-winded formats. Next they will be coming up with 16-team Conference play-offs so the season lasts until the AGM.

Who the hell wants to watch England?!

England fans, and people who like to moan about the lack of creativity shown by steve mclarren.

I will start by saying McClaren out. The FA has wasted even more dosh paying stupid money to a lap dog.

2-2 Oxford going 2-0 up in 5 mins and batter us in the first half. Coburn saves a dodgy penalty just before half-time. An Oxford player pissed off that Jim Smith shouted at the Oxford playersagain decides to deliberately score a own goal past a bemused keeper on 51 mins. Jim Smith goes ballisitic and hauls him off and says he will have no sweets on the coach back home. Aspinall misses a retaken penalty on 80 mins. After it was re-taken because an Alty player was a millimetre inside the box. Then Joe O'Neill scores an injury time equiliser from a corner. But the goal is not confirmed for 5 mins while the officials contact a member of the Conference board  to ask it is ok for a pub team to taking points off the mighty Oxford. Steve Evans objects to this decision and says everyone is against his club. Also Tamworth complain as well. I will stop there cause I have lost the plot. I apologise.

Having seen the incident on you tube of the goal that never was. If the ref has waved play on and not blown his whistle. If I was that ref I would of given a goal. Even if Coburn had done the same thing and York scored in similar circumstances.
There is 3 similar instances that I can recall where a goal was given.
The first instance was years ago. I think Kelham O'Hanlon was in goal for Preston in a League Cup tie that televised on granada soccer night. The same thing happened. A goal was awarded
2nd instance was Kevin Deardan in goal for Brentford at Bristol Rovers about 8 years ago. Someone in the crowd blew a whistle. He thought it was the refs whistle. So he did what the York keeper did last night. A goal was awarded
3rd instance. Solihull Boro v Chester. F.A.Trophy 3rd Round replay. Dean Spink is flagged offside. Ball go straight to the keeper. Ref waves play on. Spink retreats to half-way line. Keeper kicks ball straight to Spink who runs unchallenged to score while the defenders are appealling for off-side. A goal was awarded.

The rumour is,I think is that Mark Wright is going to Manager of the slime, with his exciting football to bring the crowds to Connett park. Personally I would like Gordon Hill tactical genius to be next manager of the slime. Though Redfearn is doing a great job so far.

They do trains to Majorca?

It is cheaper to fly to Majorca.

Yes, yes.... never mind.

I don't have the qualifications to mind. Babysitting wouldn't be my chosen profession.
