    Much more to do with bread and circuses ,IMO. And given some of the madness going on right now, such as people getting fined for going for a walk a few miles from home, keeping crowd - free football going seems to me to be one of the less mad things .
    Just IMHO obviously.

        Indeed, as we have a number of youth players named and our threadbare squad because of covid we only named 4 subs!
        Looks like you’re running away with it at the Bet365!
        Yes - couple of good wins! Job done! Yes

              Looking forward to this (live on BT Sport)
              SCFC will be in the hat for the 5th round because they are doing both 4th and 5th round draws before the game

                        Points in the bag are usually better than games in hand but the National League variation in games played means a lot of over shoulder looking - amazing that bottom club Dover, having only played 10 games - should they win all the games in hand would be 3rd!

                          Had a feeling they would win a penalty shoot out. Tough on Brucey.

                            I sort of did a little bit when they had a good side around 1972 , before I learned the error of my ways........


                            And perhaps uniquely they replaced a terrible stadium with a worse one.........

                            No game this week for the Super Saints, as Shrewsbury have covid.
                            I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

                              They were probably OK when the great Sir Stanley Matthews played for them!

                                The Highland League has been suspended for 3 weeks with Fort William unusually well placed in the table (14th!). I wonder when, or if, English 'elite' soccer will come to its senses and follow suit.
