Who is it?

So we are into a 25 year lease? That doesnt seem all that long to me!

We are sure that our lease agreement of the training ground with Clifford Hills family is watertight aren't we? Thats one aspect I haven't seen mentioned yet - Spending a boatload of money improving facilities on land we only rent. Obviously Clifford Hill was City through and through, are his...

"In development" being the operative words.

I noticed all the Barrow players not "taking a knee" (another stolen americanism), I take it they dont have to if they dont want to?

Depending how far back you're going, I dont agree with a lot of that. Nobody cared a rats about rugby until the Exeter Rugby Club moved to Sandy Park. At the old County Ground, they were lucky if they got 200 people in on a saturday.

One thing that seems to be the time-wasting norm these days is when a keeper catches a ball at any height with two hands, he immediately drops to the ground clutching the ball to his chest, wasting about 10 seconds in the process! I dont know how that got started but all the lower league keepers...

And even then, it was only the keeper who initially went crazy, running after the referee. It seemed well after the fact that the rest of their players made a major incident about it. I'm not sure how good a view the keeper would have had from his position?

So does Bolton Wanderers, Ipswich Town, and Charlton Athletic, and we might yet play Sunderland!

You might be running a risk! :rolleyes:

I agree, very sad news. One of the best left wingers in my time, up there with Gordon Dale.

Hey, I'm not complaining, just pointing out what Barrow players might have justifiably been upset about. Nearly every throw-in seems to be illegal in this day and age. Sloppily thrown, one handed, foot off of the ground, feet not on or behind the line, all largely ignored. On another rule note...

I refuse to be intimidated about Barrows goal! :eek:

Good job Steve Tully wasnt co-commentator tonight!
