An absolute treat.

Morning.

Seems like there's a really small pool to choose from and a very low bar to get in it. To quote @chinnyhonk.bsky.social "bunch of Captain Mainwarings"

Referee Ollie Yates: Vendetta Against Home Sides? I just wanted to make this visible in case for any reason the referee from tonight happened across this forum/thread. His last 9 games and the cards...

Found that when I looked him up.

😐

I've never watched the "highlights" back. But do think about that game periodically. More broadly, see also Hartlepool and Harrogate from 5 or so years ago.

A low point. Amongst many lows!

Brilliant to extend the home run. Thought we might get a few after that early goal, seemed to then just settle for keeping them at arms length. Their keeper was making his debut apparently. That free header he missed in the last minute, 8 yards out, would have been some story. #bcafc

Was just coming on here to message you about that. Seemed out of kilter with your usual posts. Congrats on your crypto windfall anyway.

All there because they heard @chinnyhonk.bsky.social was going to whistle the instrumental bits to Martha & The Muffins at half time. Bradford's Roger Whittaker.

Can't help but think of Blackadder's Christmas Carol when I see him interviewed.

I'm a miserable bastard who fully expected to be back at 'wasting my afternoons/evenings' at some point. But the speed at which it has potentially returned; incredible really.

Dreadful. 2nd best from the start. Bullied (fairly) and out competed in every position. Disappointed with GA's blaming the ref. More than happy to do that normally but this one is entirely on us. Even with an extra man we weren't a threat. 2 games in to a critical run of 7 and we've lost them both.

Reserving judgement until I see him come up against Curtis Tilt.

I'd forgotten all about Eric Pickles

Well, farewell to the Ginger Cafu. Another fan favourite gone this week. Me Dependable and a great lad.

Curtis Tilt. 🍆#bcafc

🤣

Needs to pack it in with those daft dives in the area, but yep, looks a cracking signing

Dirty. Fuckers.

Pointon will be out for a bit. Blood was coming out of the top of his boot after the first challenge, but he played on for that last 15 mins of the first half. Really odd lack of discipline from Wigan. Was happening too consistently for it to be accidental.

1 4 4 4?

Sir Bufton Tufton.

25 years since Kirsty MacColl died. 25 years ffs. What a singer.

Exeter City to cut jobs as Trust gives club £200,000 loan Exeter City are to make a second round of redundancies as the financially-troubled League One club looks to cut more costs.

Will be a pleasure to put a bagged up dog turd in their begging bowl when it eventually comes around.

Not impacted by the Freemantle Doctor either apparently. What's the point of an Ashes series without the Freemantle Doctor? Poor do.

Morning.
