The Round Ball Game - II

[cloughie]

While we await the arrival of that Euro sideshow, may I just wish Hartlepool good fortune in their play-off today against Bromley today...am I correct that they are trying to get to the next stage where they would give us the forum derby of the year? Anyway, one game at a time...

You mean we’ll all be backing the Hangers to win this one but be hanging backers as we stay neutral for the semi and then hoping Torquay don’t win the final!

I think that's just about the size of it, cloughie.

Excellent idea gents ..... I am far from confident about today ......

Forgot - Notts County are also in the frame !

Hangers 3 Bromley 2

There are two ways - the stress free way and the Hangers’ way …..

Now I'm worried, we haven't managed to get the better of Hartlepool this season

Semi finals next weekend

Torquay v Notts County
Stockport County v Hartlepool

Well done Hartlepools.
Whats the fun in the easy route anyway ?

That is a heavyweight line up for the semis.
Lets hope that football is the winner.......

Rob, I imagine that anton's thinking 'Stockport are due a result against us'.

Yes but you really put it out of site in the first 25 mins - just doesn’t seem that way when you’re not a neutral.

Torquay v Notts County
Stockport County v Hartlepool

Two free scoring sides - bound to be 0-0 then penalties. Forum rules no taking sides unless you have long term commitment!

Here we go here we go here we go....
Thank God for this thread, when puns and other trivialising dismissive nonsense are going on elsewhere...

Football lovers only need apply here! Never stop believing!
(BTW, Great addition to the longshot collection, JC...one of the best...!)

All got your wall charts up? The RT one being ....rather....long.....I put the Observer one on the kitchen/snug door instead....
Italy v Turkey looks a tasty starter - at the Olimpico, with fans!
.....but as ever, worried about the OTT-promoted (young-) England hopes with so many capable battlehardened teams around....just (1) get out of the group first...

****
Good luck Edgy and the Hatters in your showdown(s)! Where the heart is, right?
