The Round Ball Game

[cloughie]

You'll be pleased to see that Accrington Stanley are still in the League, Pabmusic

Inverness in for another hiding today, I fear....

You mean back in the league for the last three seasons. Alas Torquay are slipping out again as Lincoln and others have for the second time. Skrill Prem looks like D4OBs these days! There are however a number of mini Sugar Daddy new boys in Div 1 and 2!

I'm pleased Hereford survived.
I have a soft spot for them,really well looked after by a couple of Bulls fans when a friend of mine was taken ill after a game at Edgar Street a few years ago.
Anyways,a day out in Chester,taking in the footy, is always nice.
SCFC could be playing the other manyoo next season,FC United of Manchester have made the play offs in their division.
The maths for Bristol Rovers is simple,a point at home to Mansfield will be enough,if they lose Wycombe or Northampton could relegate them.

Cardiff are losing 2-0. Sunderland must have got leaked advance notice of their team.

Thanks for the great round-up Rob...lot of Board teams in the late teens at the wrong time of the season, I notice.

Before tomorrow's Hearts/Hibs derby, here's how things stand:
Hearts are 12th and doomed already so the scrap is between the other 5 in the bottom 6 to try to avoid the dreaded play-off place...I have no doubt that Hearts would love to take Hibs with them...and I wouldn't mind either:
11th Killie P35 GD -18 pts 33 - 3 to go
10th Jags P35 GD -20 pts 34 - 3 to go
9th Staggies P35 GD -19 pts 34 - 3 to go
8th Hibs P35 GD -17 pts 34 - 4 to go
7th Buddies P35 GD -19 pts 35 - 3 to go

Tighter than something rude that is always recognised as being tight...shouting for the Jambos tomorrow...and there's not many times I've done that in my life.

Quick update following the win by Hearts in today's Reekie Derby.

11th Killie P35 GD -18 pts 33 - 3 to go
10th Jags P35 GD -20 pts 34 - 3 to go
9th Staggies P35 GD -19 pts 34 - 3 to go
8th Hibs P35 GD -18 pts 34 - 3 to go
7th Buddies P35 GD -19 pts 35 - 3 to go

Even tighter now than whatever it was I was talking about earlier.

Come on the Budds!!!!!

...and aeolium got it right about Inverness! Ouch!

Liverpool 0 Chelsea 2. Bleus did a job on Liverpool,initiative with citeh now
Celtic 6 Inverness Caledonian Thistle 0. Absolutey battered,what else can one say.
Crystal Palace 0 man city 2. Was always going to tough for the Eagles after the Chelsea Liverpool result

[aeolium]

I was very disappointed with the Liverpool-Chelsea result which may now hand the title to Man City. Chelsea's style of play has been pretty poor to watch all season, apart from some individual flair from Hazard and Oscar, and that they are so near the top is mainly down to their defensive record and their ability to defend small leads. It would be an absolute travesty if, by some slip-ups by both Liverpool and Man City, they sneaked the title.

I fear Inverness will be down among the mathematicians this time next year in the SPL...

[BBMmk2]

Absolutely agree there, aeolium. I think it be great fdr Liverpool if they did win the title. Being a Newcastle fan, I really want this to happen. Les Bleuz and Man City are not the teams that I would wish to win this. At least Man Utd will not be in the frame this season! :)

Arsenal 3 Newcastle United 0. Probably good job that toon had such a good first half of the season.
Chelsea 1 Atletico Madrid 3. No CL trophy for the forum this season.

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

Not such a Special One now.

[EdgeleyRob]

How good were Madrid btw !,especially in the 2nd half.

I read somewhere that a top ten finish secures his job!
