Standing in a wooden stand at Layer road.
Really weird moment in the World Series a moment ago. Yankees lead off man Torres drives the ball deep right behind the foul line just over the wall. Right Fielder Mookie Betts leaps to grab the ball, catches it, but a Yankees fan tries to grab the ball. Mookie couldn't initially get his arm back as the fan had hold of it whilst he tried to get the ball. The catch was rightly given but only in Baseball can you have players and fans clashing during a play.

I don't know whether the fan just wanted the ball or he was trying to prevent the catch. I guess the former.
Boycotting the EFL trophy since 2015. I got an invite from a Sutton friend when they got to the final a few years back. I declined although I'd have gone if the academies hadn't been invited.

Meadow at 23.26 - same here, and I will not treat it as a legitimate competition until the academies are removed.

Poor, very poor indeed, although this competition is a waste of everyone's time.

Whatever happened to to the football Combination and the Central league?
I've not attended a trophy match since the academies were invited. Inviting them sours the competition. Should we get to the final, I'll celebrate but won't attend. Get rid of the stiffs.

In fact that’s one thing we should learn from these games. Look out for the players that will be released by the time they’re 21 who will be open to dropping to our level.

I have also now remembered why I didn’t go to these matches. It’s just saddening to see how heavily coached cheating and gaming the officials actually is at EPL level.

On the plus side my son did say before the start that 32 was the star player in their squad and he does seem pretty good. Whereas most of them will probably end up in L1/2 like 90% of EPL academy players.

I may have misunderstood the rules, but I think Brighton needed a three goal victory to stay in the competition. Even with that, they still need Crawley to beat Wycombe on penalties after a 2-2, 1-1 or 0-0 draw.

And Johnson for Harbottle when we brought Steven’s on.

On the match. Harbottle looked good. Furlong and Ogundeere did although probably and possibly irrelevant now. Williams did the work of 2 players all night. Neither Pigott (outmuscled constantly) nor Kelly did themselves any favours there. Biler probably not as bad but he’s not really pushing himself forward either.

Seemed very flat. And yeah it looked like there was no point risking another injury after IO went off.
Actually I think we made changes on three ocassions already, the third being the Furlong injury so we couldn't get our fifth sub on.

Nothing to do with the match but something that was irritating me all game. I thought the regs are only 1 coach is allowed to stand at a time and they must stay in the technical area? They constantly had multiple coaches wandering all over the place. Especially that twat who kept telling the ref when to stop and start the game.

Did we just not bother bringing on a sub after Ogs went off?

Couldn’t give a flying damn about this competition. If we’re forced to put out a squad with x number of players from the last league game then at least send them out there to not give a parp and save their legs for games that actually matter.

Stupid competition stupid games.
Stops the team getting too complacent, probably a 5-0 win on Saturday now.

Silk - it does look like our players are being actively told to back off and not engage. Happens quite a lot.

Lets see where we are at the end of November, Some tough games coming up. Feel we will have to sign 2/3 players in January to stand a chance of making the playoffs.
