My back story to the Liverpool cup game was I’d just met a new girlfriend and booked a fortnight in Tenerife before the draw was made thinking we’d not make the 3rd round, I rarely missed any game back then home and away so I was devastated we drew Liverpool, my mood lifted after the draw at Burnden knowing I’d be home for the replay, what an amazing night it was and to end the story I’m still with the same girl now all these years later, one thing she never minds me doing is watching BWFC… that’s probably why we’re still married. 🤣

We all have our pressure points. Weirdly for me the arguments while a bit tedious, I can live with. Mine was when the majority on here arse licked Ken Anderson and I also don’t like a lot of the pink stuff on here. Just scroll past now though 😂

The 3-2 win at Everton is so underrated.

You get the feeling the Jocks for all their inexperience are a lot better at enjoying the WC than us. Video on Facebook on England fans belting out ‘10 German Bombers’ some American just asked ‘why are they so angry’

Not in Blackpool

Racists in Belfast torching foreigners out of their homes last week Racists in Edinburgh attacking Muslims with a machete this week Often walk down the street in Leith where it happened. Often with the wee one as well. Just glad I wasn't there. Grim times. Somebody will be along to blame the politicians shortly for letting it come to this.

Not read all of this but I’ve seen a mention of Everton so a slight diversion to a double birthday celebration today of Mike Walsh and Peter Reid. They both played in the 1st leg semi at Goodison in 1977. (Whatmore scored) 70 today👏 I actually went on a joint 21st birthday bash with them and others!

Find it all rather pathetic. World's gone fucking soft. The sight of grown men running to a referee pleading for a red card. "Please sir, he covered his mouth". Fucking pansies.

On a Saturday at 3pm.......

You do know that they will change it to a DMB kit at the airport and you’ll be soiled for life.

That away game is the forever highlight of time supporting BWFC. Was on the paddock opposite the cameras that night I read somewhere a while ago that the game was recorded by Granada and the tapes were lost when they left the building on Quay St. So long ago that I can’t remember the story but it was summat along the lines that they couldn’t get the tape back to the studio on time for the late night news bulletin so they were just lobbed in the storage and binned when the building shut down. Probably a load of shite but if only eh…..

It is mad but I can not remember how we got there. Pretty sure I got a lift from Bradford with the lad I still go to games with, but I sat with my dad and he sat with his parents. His missus is on the long BBC highlights. I know the traffic was bad outside the ground and lots were stuck in traffic when we scored, people jumping out and celebrating. In the ground was just brilliant, we dominated but they had a couple of chances and after the second we could have had a couple more. Seeing McGinlay seemingly floating in midair waiting for Lees cross to come in is still pretty clear. ‘Soaring magnificent header’ and ‘Walker is free, and he’s scored’ are my 2 favourites bits of commentary.

Probably a good thing overall. I know you’ll disagree, but I think he’s a decent man who’s tried to do his best in the challenging times in which we live. Much has been out of his control globally. Sadly he’s not a natural leader and has been found out on a few fronts with his decision making on things which have gone wrong, and communication on things which have gone right. I’m not sure what comes next will be any better. Hope I’m wrong.

A quick look through the very thread you are commenting on will make you realise you’re speaking total shite. Again.

We had taken around 10,000 to Old Trafford a couple of years before Anfield.

Replaced by another cunt.

It's fairly common knowledge that the Isrealis are pretty much the world leaders on that kind of thing, especially in that region They're also up there on the development of military technology as well Again, you're resorting to absolutes - I didn't suggest that no other country engages in intelligence and counter intelligence or that the US depends solely on Israel for its national security

Me neither but if you look at the last paragraph of my post, you can see how some will use it to ‘win’ an argument on social media. It’s great for researching though. As long as you look at the sources rather than relying on the AI to make an opinion. Obviously loads of other benefits but in the context of this discussion, it has a downside.

Not that anyone would trust the IRGC, but they may have a point about Israel (& hence US) breaking the ceasefire terms by not stopping the Lebanon bombing. As has often been said on here, conflict in the middle east in some shape or form will never end.

Could see Wednesday dropping again. He’s played 3 games in 18 months I believe. I think the owner is gonna be some mentalist. He looked the part

Home game first please

neighbour drove us to Everton he went into auto pilot at the m61 horwich junction and went north because that's what he did everyday going to work took him 20 minutes to realise then got stuck in traffic coming back the other way missed kick off couldn't get near goodison, legged it to the ground, had just sat down when Stuart Barlow put them 1-0 up was 16 and used to the burnden terrace, was at the front of the top tier down the side and it gave me vertigo

TBF, Duberry’s efforts and CBT’s cracker made it a great season for goals outside the box!

I mean we all have some intrusive thoughts but chirst his takes the piss.

Its same with the other white hot games, seen all the footage loads of times but rarely hear about what it was like getting there and back and what people's away day experiences were like etc. They are two ace goals, you dont get headers like that anymore!

Brevitas est sanitas

If anyone left that game before the end they weren't BWFC fans 😃

That’s a shitter and no mistake. I’m sure you’re not a burden to anyone except in your head. I’d say talk to someone while it’s still your choice. I met you once by accident one night match at Colls. I was talking to a mate and WWays came up and someone asked if I knew AthyWhite, that’s him there so I introduced myself . Look after yourself.

Respect to you for opening up mate! 👍 Wishing you all the best

Even Norwich? Surely not.

Sorry to hear about your health issues. None of my business as to your lifestyle choices but I attach a link to a NHS leaflet on alcohol and sleep. It focuses on insomnia (which isn't your issue, I know), but what it talks about, equally applies to quality and length of sleeping. It's there if you want to read it. It may help you. It may not. alcoholandinsomnia-5.pdf

Was last Aug. To a DMB (don’t judge). Maid of honour has already planned Benidorm and me wearing a full Bolton kit.

Sorry to hear about your struggles athy, but I do advise you speak with your family and also professionals about how you are feeling, it can and will get better pal.

Aye it’s a good one. Be interesting to see if the “young” players can step up in this situation

My condition has worsened over the past 18 months, I now cannot walk and have lost the use of my right arm and hand, no more bird houses to be made, in constant pain and I know depression is creeping in, I am at Salford Royal for 2 days a month for a 4 hour infusion, this is for the foreseeable future. Same as others I have a very large drink (Vodka and lemonade) every night which means I get about 4 -5 hours sleep. I have had adaptations made in the house which again is depressing, (the grandkids love the stairlift), my only pleasure now is Monday Club (pitch and toss night) and Thursday club when we put the world to rights, 3 pints is my limit because there is no disabled toilet in my local. I keep my season ticket but this coming season I have to go pitchside because I cannot get up the few steps to where my daughter and kids sit, I have had to stop going away matches as I hate being a burden to anyone. i will talk to someone eventually, just not ready yet.

The fact that he couldn't get a game for Torquay should have been a good indictor that he he isn't good enough. Some on here genuinely thought he was gonna break into our team lol. Good luck to the lad but he's nowhere near the level we need.

Struggled a bit at Torquay. Hednesford NLN so should be OK. The Academy needs to match the division we are in. Doesn't look if it is going to get CAT2 this season though. PS - Don't go writing transfer news and gossip in this thread, its's for everything but.

Toodle*

Sonny Sharples gone to Hednesford Tiwn on permanent deal. Shame that another of our youth graduates won’t make the grade with us, but don’t think he was cut out for championship level. Good luck to the lad.

You and @maje are correct. He signed in August 1998. In my defence, it’s getting towards 30 years ago!

It could have been during but deffo not before as I remember watching the Jamaica game I'm the pub with my mate and him absolutely destroying a full back and I said to my pal we could do with a winger like that. Then we went and signed him and my mate was calling me psychic for ages after. Never got another one after that though 🤣

won our first ever World Cup game, a proud day for me after enduring the dark ages of Canadian men's football during the 90s and 2000s. Easily the best team we have ever fielded.

Who gives a fuck? We're all of African descent.

What a crock of shit She has worked her to the top of her profession and is paid accordingly and gets jobs in TV. She will spend hours every day watching and studying football it is literally her job, why you have bought in other people in the game into when we are talking about people on here. But even other people in the game are unlikely to have her depth of knowledge at the level we are watching. She has the highest level of coaching badges. You sound like one of those people who reckon they could fly a plane if the pilot had a problem, after all they have been on holiday before.

I think Emma Hayes is very good, she knows what she's talking about. I'm not arsed that she's got a very thick Essex accent or that she's not the best looking, she knows her football stuff. I'd have her on for every game before that rat Neville.

These men feel very strongly about the log flume.
