Biggles: that guy was caught when he told NCA officers he could fix our match with Dagenham and Redbridge.

‘Crusade to save us from successful people’👌

Was out for dinner last night and asked the waiter for a glass of water. He replied “still?” The idea that I would have changed my mind in that half a second was preposterous and cost the young lad his tip. Prick.

Quite amazing to think that football clubs existed 120+ years funded by wealthy successful individuals. Apparently it's now a fad.

Not too hard to take a few positives from yesterday if you're that way inclined. Goals on the road, had a proper go at the best team in the league, and liked the body language of the players when we nearly made it 3 all. They want it.

Advanced warning there maybe no south western trains running for the Boxing Day game southern are running a limited service if your using them check there website

The underlying problem is that there are too many human beings. Not entirely sure what the solution is.

That £2 cap is the way to get people onto public transport and out of cars for some people, particularly with the costs involved in running cars.

Free stuff off them

Just heard on the news that Labour are considering scrapping the £2 bus fare cap. Don't they realise it is the lowest paid who usually use these buses to get to work? Isn't the point of Labour that they are looking out for the lowest paid?

The problem with Americans buying up clubs us that it is a trend just like tattoos. No-one thinks long term about getting at tattoo - ie how it will look when you are fat and wrinkly - because they are only getting them because everyone else is getting them.

He was arrested after a game at KM that he tried to fix. So, yeah, it feels pretty obvious that this would have been affecting the leagues we were in…

Just seen the extended highlights. The first two were a continuation of last week the back three backed off and backed off which made it easier for the opponents. Would like one of the back three designated to go to the player on the ball. If he passes well then so be it. We allowed players to run at our goal unchallenged. Their third was a well worked goal - give them credit. We created chances and could have drawn 3-3.

Match-fixing in lower league football. I wonder if any of this affected the leagues when we were in them? [Link]

You just know that if a trend emerges of US stars buying lower league clubs that we’ll get Kenny Rogers.

What about this chap as a potential buyer/owner [Link]

I was fully expecting us to do a Carlisle in 1986 ...

Wimbledon were top for a couple of games back in 1986

50 years ago Carlisle were top of Division 1 after 3 games and ...

Yeah was that around the time they were linked with Creighton or whatever his name was? Or was that 90s?

Carlisle have been on non-league before. Relegated in 2004, they bounced back via the playoffs the following season.

Football celebrates. Approx 17 wankers actually care.

Maybe franchise can take him back so he can finish the job off and get them relegated instead of Carlisle. Winners all round.

Tempted to agree. And I like Carlisle as a club I think it would be a shame to see them go non-league. But you hire a frannie you takes your choice.

Frannie or not, if you sack a manger that quickly when they haven't had a chance to change the squad you deserve to be relegated and pay compensation.
