Scott Loach on the Notts County subs bench at Boreham Wood St Albans take the lead against Carlisle..
As far as I understand it the red poppy is worn to commemorate those military personnel who died in war, the white poppy to remember the civilians who died, and a purple one to remember the animals who died. Bearing in mind that 90% of the victims of modern warfare are civilians I know which I would choose, if any, but a white poppy would not show up on the England shirts. Should I remember the bomber pilot or the civilians who was under his bombs ?
He was probably trying to run away from FL gambling charges - forgot to leave his habit behind though.
Not sure I have ever seen a more unconvincing 3/0 scoreline! But maybe that sums up both sides -- We do enough to win whilst the Scots would be playing all weekend without scoring. Anya got his usual injury too..
The Ighalo v Guedioura World Cup match up has been a bit of a fizzer - 3 minutes to go and neither has been on the field. Nigeria leading 2-1, but lucky - their second goal was so far offside even the scorer stopped in disbelief.
Let's hope Vardy isn't in such form on Sat!! Playing well - trouble is we usually do in friendlies and it means nothing when it comes to the tournament.
Been watching a bit of the FA Cup replay between Brackley Town, my nearest club when I was in the UK. Seeing as they are in the conference north they have done well against Gillingham, leading 2-1 at half time. The Gillingham goal was scored by Jake Hessenthaler the son of the Watford stalwart.
Good win for Eastleigh at Swindon last night. Home to Halifax in the next round. Win that and who knows,,,,Eastleigh v Watford?
The Brackley win 4-3 over Gillingham was a really good cup tie. Back to work for the part-timers tomorrow, but a trip to Blackpool to look forward to.
One of the most memorable matches I've ever attended was against Harlow Town in the cup. Cor, that was a game! I remember being allowed to stay up and watch it on MotD - what a strange experience that was!
