    Yes but only signed a 2 month contract apparently. Looks unlikely to stay.

    At the time he signed for Cheltenham it was rumoured (from their end) that the reason for the short term contract was that he’d already got something lined up for the new year in Major League Soccer.

    No idea how true that is, but would seem to explain why he’d settle for a short term contract following a prolonged period of looking for a club after a reasonably successful time at Salford.

    Rumours clearly inaccurate then. Hakeeb obviously confident in his ability to get a better deal than Cheltenham were offering…

    No respect yesterday when a fan died at the Leeds man u game was the game wasn’t called off I wonder why, wouldn’t be because Sky were televising the game would it.

    Apologies for pedantry, but Leeds v Man U was broadcast by TNT.

    Sky did, however, broadcast the Fulham v Liverpool game, which was delayed for a similar incident, despite your misgivings about their influence on the game.

    Is there even a hint of praise in that paragraph? I read it as:

    “I suppose it would be rude if I didn’t mention Matt, despite him lumbering us with contracts over at least two more years whose terms I’m not happy with. Hopefully, remaining staff will be able to squeeze some sort of value from them until such time as we can negotiate better deals elsewhere.”

    Is there any TV coverage of the game against PS?

    Not sure there are even any highlights. The club haven’t posted any yet, anyway, and they never usually take this long. Was looking forward to seeing Eze’s goals.

    Presumably no reason why not; a dozen or so clubs have already put theirs on YouTube, so I can’t imagine there are rights issues stopping them being posted.

    Or, of course, York are aware of it and are just messing us around for the sake of it. That seems plausible too, given the Watson situation.

    I’m even more confused about this Rule 95 now, having listened to Butler’s post-match interview.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0md4xlr?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile

    Around four minutes in, he explains that Billy Chadwick couldn’t play against either Blackpool or King’s Lynn because York didn’t want him Cup-tied.

    The only conclusion I can take from this, assuming Rule 95 exists, is that York City are unaware of it (and Butler too, considering he doesn’t seem to have challenged their reasoning?)

    Watson not even on the bench today for York. Recalled to be third choice keeper once again.

    Presumably Cup-tied today as he played against King’s Lynn.

    Makes you wonder why they’d recall him the day before a game he couldn’t play in though…

    Ah, but how do we get live coverage of Tuesday’s game?

    The link will be out of date, but the instructions won’t. Basically an online feed provided by the NL rather than the previous YouTube feed. I won’t be bothering myself though…

    “Vile abuse” is never acceptable, but if anyone should be prepared for it, it’s a bloke who spent a long playing career glorying in being a wind-up merchant and then followed it by being a dismissive “how many caps have you got?” type on radio phone-ins.

    I don’t particularly dislike the bloke, but if anyone’s been asking for it…

    Worst one I saw was at Barnsley can’t remember who was in goal but just didn’t see the ball at all when they scored bugger me he to then got a cap from the crowd.

    Jak Alnwick. Straight at him from forty yards, and all he could do was flap at it. The sun was blinding from the far right corner that day, and yet didn’t think about a cap till it was too late.

    https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/barnsley-2-scunthorpe-united-0-mowatt-fires-reds-to-victory-140034#

    Yesterday was as bad; Rory frequently using his hands to shade his eyes from the sun, but not considering a cap at any point…?

    Anything likely to be live in the FA Cup game?

    No mention of any coverage for us here…

    Which FA Cup Fourth Round Qualifying fixtures can you watch live on TV?

    The conditions didn’t look to healthy in 1989? https://youtu.be/HHOZyWBnvIA?si=uTT_tChuEUHJnNTP

    Steve Lister was drinking in the Bridge Hotel after midnight the morning before that game. My mate and I assumed either he was injured or the game had been postponed. Turned out it was neither. Different times…

    Seemingly not. Interesting that he’s airbrushed his time at the Iron from history though…

    I enjoyed the half time feature “Rolling with the Stones” about Wealdstone and their ‘values’ just broadcast, seemingly without irony, on DAZN.

    Laughable.

    I’m guessing it was filmed a while ago.

    Any live TV coverage?

    Can’t find official confirmation, but the last round was shown in full on YouTube, so it would be surprising if that were not the case this time around…

    Link relates to the first set of games:

    I’d have been more convinced about their players’ ‘frame of mind’ if any of them had shown the slightest concern for his plight while he was being treated.

    Anyone know if tomorrow’s game on DAZN is viewable to UK subscribers given there’s no Premier league matches on at 3pm? I’m assuming it will be accessible?

    Yes. It’s in the listings in the app.

    Afternoon, I hope you are all well. I’m trying to fathom dazn and it’s a mindbender. Is it possible to just buy a single game, Brackley in this case, or do you need to sign up for a month? Thanks in advance.

    It is now a month.

    Initially last season you could pay for a single game by paying for a ‘day’, which allowed access to any games played that day.

    The minimum then became a week, towards the end of last season, with a 50% price increase to £14.99 (for some reason the only time I did it, it gave an eighth day, which conveniently included an away Iron match!).

    Now the minimum is a month, as you thought, with different prices depending on whether you choose it as an annual subscription, the cheaper option. If you go for the single month option, cancel it straight away – there is a 30 day notice period, which could trick you into paying for a second month if you delay.

    The twelve month one-off subscription was discounted a couple of weeks ago at £99.99, which depending on the quality of coverage might be a bargain. Even if not discounted , the basic price was a significant discount compared to paying for the season option monthly. There were major problems with the Tamworth stream though, and it’s too early to guess whether this was a one-off, though my stream for Sutton was flawless…

    Given that it covers any game not on Saturday at 3pm, plus those that are on any weekend when PL games aren’t being played (e.g. Tamworth before the PL season started, international weekends – their marketing suggests 20 games per season per club on average), as well as offering on demand coverage of Saturday games from 5.15pm onwards, it might be worthwhile.

    Apparently it’s possible to watch all games if you’re overseas, but isn’t necessarily easy to find them if the search function is on the blink.

    OWS homepage a couple of minutes ago still running a countdown to kick off. Hopefully someone will notice and amend it before you open this link (scroll down a bit)

    Butler takes m-o-m Ewing off after an hour WHY ?

    Slight issue. No biggie. Better to be safe than sorry.

    I thought his booking and ‘final warning’ style lecture from the referee probably played a part…

    Rubbing salt in the wounds?

    NLC games were free on NLTV last season… or until DAZN took over.

    Being streamed on the Enterprise National League YouTube channel, presumably free of charge. Hopefully this link will work for those interested:

    Not sure about other prices, but I know it cost £14 for an early bird OAP ticket in the main stand last season, but is £16 now.
