Duck Egg

Away at Brighton in 1972 on The Big Match on ITV4 this morning. I'm thinking this might be the earliest colour footage of Wanderers? Not one I've ever seen before. A 1-1 draw. Gary Jones penalty equalising for us. Seeing the keepers catching crosses with their bare hands looks bizarre now. The standard of play is pretty shocking.

Low turnout or not, that's a resounding win for Labour.

Well I've never found you funny. Ya massive bullshitting fanny 😊

Finally got round to trying Better call Saul again. Up to season 2 now. I like it but it's still pretty slow paced and I'm not seeing (yet) what the fuss was.

Mate's just said exactly that. He's an odd shape for a footballer. Long body with short legs that favver they're on back to front.

No. That was the following year. This was the 0-2 Coyle's latest disaster

McAtee featured, and got an assist, in the game that I'll remember as long as I live. For that reason, I'll never want anything but the best for him and be chuffed if he stayed and stepped up to the championship challenge.

Sluffy's dept.

Bonkers isn't it? I wish we had 2 or 3 more as comfortable in possession as he is. We'll miss him when he's no longer here.

If that's Taylor he's had a pretty big haircut

I was on the paddock that day. 3 Geordies came in, one had black and white stripes painted on his cut off jeans, absolutely steaming and giving it the "cmon ya Bolton bastards!". All the young lads, me included, suddenly remembered we needed to be somewhere else and backed away rapidly. Cue a dozen or so of the older blokes coming forward and piling in on em. It was brutal. All 3 were carried out in minutes.

Scary one this one. They can't sign any more players in this window. The one they did manage to sign before the embargo has done his ACL in training. The embargo is as a result of them being back in L1 and only being allowed to spend 65% of turnover at that level. They'd not been able to get those players on championship wages off their books in time.

Twice for Newcastle in the 82-83 season he played against us but that's it as far as I can tell.

Oh no. One of the few footballing idols I had as a kid who wasn't a Bolton player. A great player, one of England's finest, and seemingly a belting chap too. RIP Mighty mouse.

It was wasn't it? That was the season we got promoted under Rioch? That lad Martindale, who scored 2 and yet never started for the first team.

You don't have to read it. Nobody's put a gun against your head.

I think you're arguing against your own point here.

I've been onto the club a couple of times about away season tickets and popped into the ticket office on Monday; "We still dont know what we're doing with them for this coming season" They're going to have to get a move on with QPR going on sale shortly and I suspect very high demand. Other than Lincoln and Wrexham, we should have more than enough for most of the others, particularly, if we've been gubbed a few times.

The new Churchill. 15 years at least.

Wrong innit? In the good old days, they'd have knocked him about a bit, kept him awake for 48 hours then got him to sign a confession. Bloody woke detectives these days.

Once, all happy, thriving forums, then you turned up. How are they all doing now? You're the Owen Coyle of Wanderers' forums. I'm hoping the board suss you quickly and get rid before this forum goes the same way.

I know they're daft sports with franchise models but the NFL and basketball in the US all pay sky high wages and yet turn a profit. Football just amasses greater debt with no prospect of it ever being paid off.
