What's the point in waiting 2 days to Interview on a match, and then ignoring the biggest elephant in the room.
Weve 2 press officers, 2 communications officers and a digital media manager.
The questions are hardly digging, Brian, and I wonder how much Parkinsons skirtinf of question leads to us asking less pressing questions
-
100% agree with this.
-
struck me as being a completely pointless interview. unless i missed it they didn't even discuss the last minute disallowed goal.
-
The worrying thing is that he seem resigned that we would be losing two players come the end of January.

Let's hope it's jennings and Dinanga. 😎

He has right about the long term progress and aspirations. He's right about 80% of clubs reckoning they're in with a playoff spot. He's right that we're two injuries or like of players away from being caught short.
I am sure he'd love all the loan players to stay, and nobody will be working harder to try and make that happen
-
I don't think we'll make the PO's this year, but next season if 2 of the top 3 go up; it' is blown wide open for both PO and Title.
We have to become less reliant on short term loans, and not just been a improvement centre; in so many positions.
I hope with greater recruitment; the seeder investment and cosnsistant gates; we can sign more young hungry EFL players around the experience we have, whilst tempting CCC, Bennet, Newby, Smith, Ferguson back.

I find it utterly bewildering that this 16-minute interview omits any mention whatsoever of the biggest talking point from the New Year's Day fixture at Halifax, namely that controversial disallowed late 'goal' involving Colclough and Dinanga.
Now, I appreciate that Parkinson would have been well within his rights to have diplomatically declined to comment on the incident, either to avoid getting into hot water for criticising a match official or having to call into question the actions of one of his players, however I'm at a loss to understand exactly why the topic was never even raised by Flynny.

I'm still waiting for the 'Why did Malarkey play in midfield?' after the Stockport game 12 months ago!

Join the queue. Plus why did Dinanga take the penalty at Torquay in October

Good unanswered question
-
To be fair, Brian did allude to it ("disappointment at the end"), but would anything have actually been gained going into that? Maybe they both just decide it best to let sleeping dogs lie. And with four points against FC and 12th in the table, I'm not complaining too much.
-
If Dinanga was onside, I suspect that PP would have alluded to "an error by the officials". That suggests to me that PP reckoned he actually was offside and therefore warned Me.Flynn that it wasn't for discussion. Tact and diplomacy ? Or ducking the issue ?
-
To be fair, I couldn't be 100% sure that he was on from the video especially in these days of an offside finger nail, though it must have been close. Anyway, things are generally goin in the right direction, and hopefully we will be better next season.
-
Next season?… we are only half way through this season.. We are doing grand and onwards to the playoffs!
-
And potential entry to the Scottish Challenge Cup (as long as we don't win the play-offs), and potentially a trip to the Dung Heap if Aberdeen go down, though I'd settle for Cove Rangers or indeed Brora Rangers. Happy days!

Nice golf course at Brora

Some brilliant names appear in the Scottish Cup every year , my favourites include Forres Mechanics , Bonnyrigg Rose , Auchinleck Talbot , Civil Service Strollers , Burntisland Shipyard and the wonderful Gala Fairydean 😃
-
Plus Dalbeattie Star, and of course Inverurie Loco Works.
-
Brilliant 😀

FYI Bonnyrigg Rose are a second division league team now so you can hear them every week
-
I did know that RR but still worthy of a mention 👍
-
It’s a different Scottish cup, it’s the tunnocks shield or whatever it’s called. Their equivalent of the freight rover trophy. I’d still love to be in it though

Wick Academy away on a wet Tuesday night.

If you think Rangers v Celtic is a serious rivalry, try Auchinleck v Cumnock: towns that are very close neighbours and they have to get police from Glasgow to control the crowds.
Strange how Scotland has team names that don't match their home towns: St Johnstone at Perth, while next to the town of Johnstone we have St Mirren at Paisley. Then Queen of the South at Dumfries and Heart of Midlothian in Edinburgh, where, on the Royal Mile, there is a heart in the road wich is THE heart of Midlothian.
-
Plus, you have Raith Rovers (Kirkaldy)
-
Ah, "dancing in the streets of Raith"!
There's also Formartine United and my former local team Banks O'Dee. Though to be fair England has the (defunct) Rossendale United and Queens Park Rangers. And there was a "team" called the Argonauts who attempted to join the Football League...
-
Forest Green, Fisher Athletic, Hashtag United, Concord Rangers, Corinthian Casuals.
-
Frickley athletic, Vauxhall Motors, Queen of the South, Green G*ts Victoria. 😎

Grimsby Town......classic quiz question from my yoof

To clarify, this is the Scottish PFL Challenge Cup, currently known as the Tunnock's Challenge Cup. As I understand, it currently involves Scottish Football League (but not SPL) teams, the Highland and Lowland League champions, and a small number of teams from Wales and Northern Ireland. Hopefully from next season there will be NL involvement again too, with the participant likely to be the highest team not promoted and prepared to enter the competition, suggesting we would have to finish third, or fourth if one team turned down entry. There is also the Scottish FA Challenge Cup, equivalent to its English namesake, and a competition for all SPL and SFL teams.
In England, there was the Full Members Cup for first and second division teams (who had enhanced voting rights in the reelection days, hence the 1980 debacle), and the Associate Members Cup for teams in the new-fangled third and fourth divisions. I don't know if the name is still used at all or when it was abandoned if not, thoughthe competition has been known by the sponsor's name for quite a long time.

Grimsby Town......classic quiz question from my yoof
Confusingly there is now a Grimsby Borough, plus Cleethorpes Town, who have been quite successful in recent years (including a certain Vase final). I don't know where they play though.
Did anyone mention Port Vale?
-
Cleethorpes Town are managed by our ex-player Nathan Arnold. I think they play in Cleethorpes now,but used to play in Grimsby, and Grimsby Borough play on the same site. However, I might, understandably, be getting confused.

Think they were called Burslem Port Vale.....and then dropped the Burslem bit
They still play in Burslem....so I argue they are not a team that does not play in their own town

Back in the 70s and 80s the answer to the "said" quiz question for 92 FL teams was Grimsby
