I get that modern football is results-based, but the guy got them to the playoff final and won the Trophy final last season for Christ's sake.

Alas, you're only as good as your last few results these days - see also Peter Beadle at Hereford last year.

How are our last few results? Curzon manager is in trouble.

I do however expect our results will improve though.

One point from the last nine games, out of the FA Cup, and if Bradford get a result at Gloucester and/or Blyth do what they did to Chester last season (please !) then Curzon will be in the relegation zone. I'm sure Flanagan hasn't become a bad manager overnight, but you can fully understand the thinking in the boardroom.

On the face of it, seemed mad for Curzon to sack Flanagan - but we don't have the benefit of knowing what happens internally (fall-out, internal backfill due to cost-cutting, etc etc).

I would imagine our own team have plenty of credit in the bank just yet, although as we know, football can change very quickly.

Sorry, cocked this up slightly - my actual post is in the middle of the stuff above. It's probably an age thing....

The last ditch penalty shout was in the "I've seen them given" category for me, largely because it was two-footed and from behind. However, the ball was won and he wasn't "out of control". Another ref, another day....

I felt Harrop should have hit it first time to be quite honest. We simply don't have enough shots on goal these days - maybe we should have brought  on Lewis Archer on to see what he could do.

Martin's funeral is at the chapel in Altrincham Crematorium on Tuesday 22nd.October at 1245, following which he will be laid to rest beside his mother at Dunham Lawn.

I believe he's out until early November.

My son passed away peacefully this morning after a short but fruitless battle with the aggressive cancer that he battled so bravely in recent months. I'll put details of his funeral on here when we have them.

Gloucester or Whitby at home.

My original plan was to go down today, and visit some of my favourite Black Country boozers tonight (particularly the Vine in Brierley Hill) but I can't shake my cold off, so it's the red button from the comfort of my chair I'm afraid.
