Yes CW, but it was getting perceptibly better. Now it's getting perceptibly worse. And spot on Leddy.

The problem is when you have the wrong people deciding whether what you're doing is right or wrong.

Palace 1 up

Loads of stuff was worse in the old days, I.e Racism,sexism, homophobia, capital and corporal punishment, hooliganism, no cheap flights, people moan about CCTV but if you’re doing nothing wrong then you don’t have a problem

We've seen both our grandchildren in the last week, Trig, a seven year old lad in Macclesfield and a two year old English/Flemish girl. It is an odd feeling to have launched these two little hostages to fortune. Belgium seems pretty much as bonkers as England too. Anyway risk of getting political now.

Led not LED of course.

Trigg - when I went to see LED Zeppelin at Knebworth, The Who at Charlton, Bob Dylan at Blackbushe, etc, me and my mates just went and queued up outside the record shop early in the morning, and when it opened we got our tickets - now you have accounts to create, a long online queue, and then you get told it’s sold out, only to find out that there are thousands of tickets already listed for resale…. It’s a bloody joke…

It’s so disappointing to see this stuff going on. Imagine being a kid growing up with this as your reality/normaiity rather than just a saddening deterioration of humanity.

Trigg - zero accountability ever for these things, just as with gig ticket reselling websites that are owned by the main ticket website companies who hoover up millions of tickets and put them up for massively inflated prices on their own secondary sites, sometimes even before the actual online sale has officially begun….

Anybody watched Dear England that was shown at the weekend, any good? I think the last two parts are this weekend.

(Suspect Wimbledon fans of that era will enjoy it more than most, but as a young fan going from boy to man back then plenty of people used to say how much they liked watching Wimbledon for their team spirit and obviously Vinnie was a cornerstone of that. Love him or hate him, they can’t help but love him.)

Just watched the Vinnie documentary- very enjoyable. Quite light touch but made it easy watching.

CW - Kelly was a bit patchy at first but settled into being a very decent left back for us. I thought he'd be around a while but he got an offer from Ross County and took the opportunity to move back to Scotland.

More than a whiff of franchising about them

Around 1500 present last night for Nigeria's comfortable 2-0 win. Not a bad game to be fair and both sets of fans created a decent atmosphere. For some farcical reason, the organisers gave the attendance as 27,000 to the media. That is 111 short of capacity. Two stands were shut and the other two populated sparsely, have a look on the pic. Another greed factor is the apparent compulsory purchase with every order of a digital tournament programme for £1. Having perused said item, there was nothing in it that was insightful - just more ripping off punters.

I remember the name. Couldn’t tell you any detail of a memory of him on the pitch.

Remember seeing Cunningham play for Marseille once in 1985 before he joined us, injury had slowed down his electric pace but he was very skilful

And, again, apologies if massively AR, but I didn't realise we hosted the 'Non-League Paper’s National Game Awards' [Link]

Apologies if AR, but Nigel Winterburn says... [Link]

Rayo is Laurie Cunningham's old team iirc. Sadly died in a car accident whilst with them ...

Rayo Vallecano seem to be the "St. Pauli" of Spain.

I didn't realise that the poster had set it to logged in users only.

Can’t bring myself to get excited for the Palace match tonight. I can see why they want to win it as they then go into a higher competition next season. But for the neutral in me it holds little interest. Probably watch the first half while waiting for a takeaway curry.
