Somewhat ominous when the commentator says before the KO, "let's hope both teams finish with eleven men" !!
Guinea score as I type.

I thought I might watch Cameroon v Guinea but Junior is only on the bench, so may give it a miss ?😄

Surely not. I have no idea of the interactives of FFP and PL rules but a further Points reduction following their spirited recovery (so far) must surely be against all football fans sense of fair play and injustice, which could have major repercussions throughout the game.

Am I biased in thinking on the whole we are quite well behaved when it comes down to the black arts? 😉

I just wish the club and Chief Coach (as he is called nowadays) would put an end to these media reports I keep seeing saying we/they are prepared to accept offers for him.
We could not buy a player of his ability for the reported £2Mil, as they don't exist.⚓

When Everton press they really do harass Villa.
Nothing better to wind up the crowd⚓

I could not believe it took so long to make a clear and obvious decision and award the goal.
Then they Disallowed it!!!

Pundits. What a load of rubbish. Luton scored a good goal. What are players supposed to do? Move out of the goal keepers way?

Some geography must come into it. I know a few Derby fans in the Uttoxeter area who violently despise us whilst I am sure many Derbyfans living near Nottingham or Leicester for example probably never give us a second thought.

We're the middle We're the middle We're the middle of the Boothen End We all live in the back of Boothen End, Back of Boothen end .......... I am pretty sure I was there, in the Boothen, when that was first sung. It was at the height of Beatlemania and I had not missed a match for a long time when it started and immediately caught on. I recall as it spread eventually the entire end joined in and at the end the whole ground applauded. A very special memory. At the same time we had the well remembered Zigger Zagger 😀

Just had a look. Seems OK but another version of the Oatcake.
As long as it does not detract from or cause damage to this forum good luck to them.
Should I join what would I call myself?😬
EDIT. On further reflection I think I will not bother. Stay here better the Devil's you know.

Surprised to hear that we are prepared/would like to let Baker go. When on form he is more than good enough and was looking to be getting back to his form last time out.⚓

Sadly the modern technology of social media has bought about the demise of the local newspaper as we knew it. I recall when the only way of getting news about SCFC was the Sentinel and Letters to the Editor. Now we have the Oatcake and numerous other sources ⚓

He came out for the 2nd half, took his position and then bizarrely was subbed as the game was about to restart. I'm sure it was his 800th game or something as well....... Spot on and him and Ferguson giggling away was everything that’s so dispicable about Ferguson specially and that vile institution in general may both their misery be infinite and computing by the day . It is alleged that the referee spoke to Ferguson at half time and told him he should have been sent off and suggested that it would be wise to sub him. If true it's a disgrace. The foul(a blatant bad one) was on Ethrington who had been ripping Neville apart all the first half.

I occasionally try a thin spread of mustard under the cheese.
Must admit I have started to microwave them recently.
Always have cheese and tomatoes on matchdays⚓

I seem to remember that in the late 60s early 70s the Bothen was 2/6d in old money?
It was always packed with home and away fans.

Even though we don't get many I was surprised that there had to be a debate about who was going to take the penalty. Surely there should be a designated pen taker.
Relieved that Baker eventually took it.
However a debate/dispute like this could easily unnerve a player prior to the kick and even potentially cause I'll feeling between players and within the squad. Especially if it is missed!⚓

I remember Sterling playing for Liverpool diving immediately in front of me and he got a pen. Never forgiven him.🥶 Ruined a great game Was the lino who signalled it...horrible dive . Was it Marc Wilson ? The only thing I recall was that it was a midweek game. I took a Liverpool supporting mate with me and I think he was embarrassed ⚓

are you trying to break the news to us gently that you might have been to the island and your name might pop up on the list? Tom Hanks Donald Trump Bill Gates Raythesailor King Charles Prince Andrew John Major you get the idea! made me chuckle raythesailor To the best of my knowledge no Stokies ever visited Pineapple and Kiwi fruit were on the breakfast menu, no oatcakes.😉⚓ The island is a private island part of the US Virgin Isles and was the patrolled By armed guards and no landing was allowed. I don't think they were to happy about boats anchoring a short distance off but they could do little about it.

Having sailed extensively in the British Virgin Isles I have often anchored off what is known locally as Love Island. At the time I had never heard of Epstein but it was common knowledge that all sorts of "celebrities" visited often arriving in private jets and wild goings on were well known rumours.⚓
EDIT. If you accidently like your own post how do you get rid of it? It keeps happening to me😉
