Re: Rafferty

I think it's interesting he's ended up at Rotherham and he didn't bide his time waiting for a Championship club coming in for him. Perhaps he does think that JM and RH had a point? I'm surprised we didnt keep him but we have no place for being sentimental. I wasn't thinking sentimental, just more p...

Re: Rafferty

I still think this is a strange decision to let Rafferty go. He is capable of playing Championship football, although it has to be said he has settled for a League One team. Also with possibility of losing Zak Swanson, who I thought was being groomed to take over from Rafferty. I can only assume tha...

Re: D-Day Celebrations

What a brilliant post BW. Well balanced and full of interesting stuff. The radar station story was new to me and I’ve no doubt there are similar tales of sacrifices made to preserve spy networks. It must make you think twice if you and yours are part of the ‘sacrifice’. My limited experience of tha...

Re: D-Day Celebrations

I think it depends on where you go in Normandy as how the natives perceive different nations. Perhaps not so much now as the generation that lived through the war and the aftermath are dwindling in numbers and historical influence. It is generally regarded that the Americans had the toughest challen...

Re: D-Day Celebrations

I've been lucky enough to get a couple of tickets to the D-Day 80: A Tribute to the Fallen concert on the common. Is anyone else on here going? My daughter has been working on the BBC production team and tells me it's going to be great. If you can't get a ticket, she tells me the drone show is goin...

Re: Bolton v Oxford

It's the "not good enough to earn promotion, but it's a good day out and a great way to extract more money from supporters" cup. It was a good game that Oxford deserved to win - on the day. However, I think the play-off suck, big time. I'm confused...what is the trophy that Oxford are par...

Re: Bolton v Oxford

A look on the Bolton fans forum site shows a different mood now. They have shifted from being the best team in the league to be playing the best football in the league. You can say that is two different things, some of the Bolton supporters definitely do. I suppose I might agree that their team were...

Re: Danny Cowley

Slightly related to the above anyone else nervous if Mou continues to do well he may get picked up by another team? I am certain John Mousinho is ambitious, lets face it we wouldn't want an unambitious man running our team. I think that at the end of next season we may well be looking for a new hea...

Re: Bolton v Oxford

I'm confused...what is the trophy that Oxford are parading? I mean, they have come third??? :? It`s the Trophy for beating the "Best Team in League One". Awarded every year apparently. Derby got a trophy for finishing second which is the same design as the trophy give for the third placed...

Re: Bolton v Oxford

So the best team in League One will probably be the best team again next season. I don't normally do gloating and I consider how the losers must be feeling. However, there has to be winners and losers with totally different emotions at both ends of the stadium. This time it's a bit different though ...

Re: Goal music

Am watching Stains v West Brom and it's 1-0. Music was played after they scored :roll: So just a request to the Eisners to never, ever introduce goal music at FP. I don't think they ever would as they obviously appreciate the atmosphere and tradition. But am just making sure. I second that. However...

Re: 17th May 2008

Yes that does seem like a lifetime ago now doesn't it. When you think what has happened between then and now, a sort of to hell and back scenario. The Cardiff supporters we met before and after the game were a pretty miserable bunch. To a certain degree I found the day a bit of an anti climax with t...
