Steve Basham was one of the best players to wear an Exeter shirt in the last decade. He was pure class. It wasn't about whether or not he scored goals - he opened the game up for Jamie Mackie who looked pretty ordinary until Basham was along side him. He goes down as one of my greats

You can debate goalline technology all you like. The plain fact is if this is as far as the ball crossed the line then this is NOT a goal. Even if you can see grass between the bottom of the ball and the goalline, the laws of the game clearly state the WHOLE ball must cross the line, and with...

A win tonight by miles. If Harley goes we will struggle for the rest of the season. The JPT is small time and the money from it is the same. After two Wembley visits in recent years for games that really matter the JTP final will be a massive anti-climax. The fact that City are selling...

I think it's a demonstration of how far we have come that City can stroll an away game against a team in a lower league. In the past these would've been nail biting affairs, albeit that no-one cares about the JPT

The irony of this thread diversion by greenawayr is absolute genius ?

Are you referring to the question mark at the end of a statement ?

I have watched this incident over and over, slowed down etc and I cannot fathom how anyone could possibly think it wasn't a penalty. The defender clearly did not make contact with the ball and took Cureton's leg. Whether or not Cureton played for it is debatable. Personally I would give him...

Where in the Laws of the Game does it say this Pete ? Pushing is never allowed. The shoulder barge is the nearest that is allowed.

If the player shields the ball within a yard of the ball he is effectively playing it and it is within his control. What's the problem with that? Why does he have to kick it? Obstruction is where a player has no intention of playing the ball. Shielding the ball is as much playing the ball as...

As it happens I was at this game yesterday. I have a family member (Marty Crane), who supports Oxford. The Oxford crowd was very impressive, but York was tiny. It was even worse than Morecambe's showing when they beat us. I didn't hear a peep from the York fans. There was even a little bit...

I was thinking to myself what would've been the fans reaction on Saturday to the Player of The Year if we lost 1-0 and Matt Taylor's error had sent us down. Thankfully it didn't happen. I do remember a number of City fans complaining when Tisdale came to City saying "from Team Bath...

Paul Jones is a great shot-stopper which is why everyone gets excited about him. However, he doesn't command the box during crosses like he should do at this level and his kicking is schoolboy stuff. IMO he's a good player but he's not a great player; and until he sorts out those two issues I...

For there to be any point in this surely the matches have to be shot in HD to start with (which I doubt they are)?

I congratulate Hudderfield for playing their part in an excellent Saturday afternoon played in the spirit that a match like that should be. Good luck in the Play-offs.

What I meant was it is between us and Gillingham as to who goes down. I think Tranmere will win, so it depends on how we get on and how Gillingham get on as to who faces the drop. I was looking at the wider perspective, not just from City's point of view. It won't surprise me if Gillingham...

Three points. All of them at Stockport. The rest have all been defeats or cup games.

We definately have to go into this thinking a win in our only chance of staying up. That said, while common sense tells me Tranmere will win 3-nil plus on Saturday, there are other factors which include Stockport wanting to go down with a florish, Tranmere being nervous and also knowing they...

Morgan and Pears, with both of them replaced with Kevin Francis and Tommy Langley in the second half. Maybe not. I would start with Stewart and Taylor up front with Fleetwood and Logan as the subs ready to make an impact if we're in trouble.

I love it when someone is trying to be more pedantic than me. Well done Student, this is good stuff. However, Whilst the other options you suggest are possible, you and I both know that the expression as used by football managers and players means 10% more than a perfect performance, which is...
