The Round Ball Game - II

Good to see you getting a result, JC.

Watched the Buddies' game on Alba tonight, sainty, and thought the signing we got from you, one Alfie Jones, looked classy at the back for the Budds. Great first goal too from Hamill. Think you might need a change of manager...seems to be floundering!

Dover 2 Hangers 1 ..... more white flag than white cliffs

...and you thought he was your friend!

anyway another bum result for the Owls today, lose to Bolton next week and we’ll probably be bottom three by Christmas!
Better news for Truro City in the FA Trophy with a 3-0 win over Greenwich Borough of the Isthmian League.

In which case you can almost certainly celebrate it in the company of the Tractor Boys. Friday night saw the biggest 'non-Norwich-derby' crowd at Portman Road for some time, accounted for mainly by heavily discounted admission prices*, but how many will return for the upcoming midweek fixture?
* It was a Black Friday in more senses than one.

We could maybe do with the Tractor Boys former manager, and reverse our fall!

Ah, I didn't know that Jones had joined you. Very pleased he has gone to a good temporary home ! I haven’t seen him, but my scouts tell me that he has a very bright future, and where better to further his education ?
Hamill of course was at the SMS finishing school for a short spell.

Jones on loan till end of the season as far as I can work out, sainty. And as far as I can determine the St Mirren is Hammill's 10th club in 12 years - he looked pretty feisty yesterday. That's what we need to get out of our mire!

At the moment we would struggle in Old Sarum Division 4 cloughers

Probably a good time to play the Owls who lose a lot and occasionally draw!

If you're referring to Mick McCarthy, it's widely reported that he's to be offered a 2-year contract as manager of the Republic of Ireland ('backstop' permitting!)

They certainly looked much the better side last night, and had moments of nice football.


Not sure what you mean by 3 straight wins though. How does that work ?

Owls 1 Bolton 0 - I had forgotten it is possible to come away from a match with 3 points.

Lucky win for Foxes as Saints hit bar twice and have a goal disallowed.

Sorry Sainty.

I will understand if Sparky says Saints unlucky.

Only saw the pens , and didnt listen.
A team as mediocre as we are doesnt need bad luck. Sounds like the disallowed goal should have stood.

Good luck against Citeh, Alison.
