    Anyone got the link handy to the ‘dossier’ that was posted on our fishy friends board?

    If you’re managing the U16 team, don’t put two U11s in the centre of midfield.

    T’internet – remember cycling to the library on your bike as a kid to use the reference section?

    A polititious answer.
    Why not return to Ilkeston as joint owner to ignite a pyramidal ascent?

    Duncan cut his managerial teeth here.
    Clarke had a smidge short of 200 games (197) experience when arriving.
    I’d have to go with Duncan.

    I don’t think he’ll be going anywhere.
    Surely we can’t afford one to manage the football team and another to sit at home managing his garden?

    There’s a good possibility we could experience a largish defeat on Saturday… say 3-0

    Hereford & Curzon are on the same points and goal difference.
    Hereford currently sit in 7th having scored far more goals than Curzon.

    Those two are going to be at it hammer & tongs to beat the other in terms of goals scored on Saturday. And, desperately defending to avoid conceding.

    They are both guaranteed to put a shift+ in!

    Our boys… they’ll have their eyes on the SF PO game – and perhaps not picking up a knock / injury?

    It could be our ‘perfect storm’

    The most & least likely permutations:

    Southport win 10/1
    Farsley win 13/2
    Scunny win 6/5

    Bookies Odds = 180/1
    Implied Probability = 0.55%

    Southport win 10/1
    Farsley draw 4/1
    Scunny win 6/5

    Bookies Odds = 120/1
    Implied Probability = 0.83%

    Kiddy win 2/7
    Brakly win 1/4
    Scunny win 6/5

    Bookies Odds 5/2
    Implied Probability = 28.33%

    Kiddy win
    Brakly win
    Hereford win

    Bookies Odds 7/2 (actually 3.66/1)
    Implied Probability = 21.50%

    Enjoy the beer & sun!

    Inconsistency, a lack of assiduousness and ‘attitude’ are a major reason why ‘kids’ don’t make it.
    Sometimes, players just don’t fancy it.
    Perhaps his last two outings were that?

    Old news and article that one Rene. I guess the next news will be if they’ve voted him in or not? Their deadline is tomorrow I think. I dearly hope they bin him off for the sake of the club. Carrot’s dangling for them but long term can’t see it ending well.

    Yeah. Tried making a funny.

    question
    Do loan players return to their parent club after the final game of the regular season or can they play in the play offs thinking of Fadera

    After his last two performances I’d hope he’s already on his way back to his parent club.

    Rene you do realise your post about Mo now qualifies you for nomination in The Last Legs Dick of the Year awards on Channel 4, lol. Mo is a young upcoming player who has been a breath of fresh air in our squad since joining on loan from York but he is young and is allowed the odd duff game, its part of his experoencing building, you know that.

    Can the grandkids attend or is it over 18s only.

    He was doing ok but these last couple of performances he’s looked more lost than Will Robinson.

    At the moment he seems to be a ‘super sub’ in the mould of a David Fairclogh?

    Maybe he’s just lost interest?

    See how he goes at the weekend.

    The only interesting thing to watch out for on Saturday is who ends up 7th.

    They get an away game at Chester on Wednesday to determine who comes to the Attis the following Sunday.

    He’s already sent one of his opo’s out on here trying to paint a pretty picture of him.

    A fool’s errand.

    P@rick is going to be busy.

    Harrier Nick might be along soon with his version of that weirdo on Twitter who used to wind up supporters of failing clubs with the likes of ‘watching you get battered really turns me on…’, etc etc.

    Ilko P@rick may be along to remind us of where we went wrong.

    Kiddy & Brakly will win.
    We’ll finish 3rd.
    We’ll finish 4th if Chester win their game by 11 clear goals and we lose by 10 clear goals.

    There’s always the stadium weekender to look forward to. Wait a minute… oh yeah.

    The Russian roulette known as the play offs await. We’ve now at least one more game to endure. Spin the wheel.

    The Iron horse has shed its saddlery and is now a distant 3rd.

    Kiddy & Brakly head to the last obstacle in tandem, with both looking strong.

    It could still go to a photo finish?
