    Banbury will play Canvey Island! What an opportunity for one of those teams!

    Wigan got the local tie like we had hoped for down here...

    Wigan v Chorley.

    I used to live halfway between the two.

    I see that Gunn came on at HT. Slightly unusual way for a keeper to make their debut.

    Couple of cracking goals too. He looked like nothing at first, young Alien Lucy, but maybe he does still have a future with us.

    Another one of the Boys of '66 passes...

    "But I still see that tackle by Moore
    And when Lineker scored
    Bobby belting the ball
    And Nobby Dancing"



    R.I.P. Nobby...<rose>

    Sorry just realised it's on the wrong thread.

    There was a lovely tribute on R4 just now from Bob Wilson, who played with Nobby for England Schoolboys, before he later turned Scottish. They were lifelong friends, and Wilson related a tale Nobby had told him from just before the semifinal in 66 against Portugal, when Alf Ramsey gave Nobby the role of keeping Eusebio quiet.

    “I want you to mark him”, said Alf. “Do you understand me?”

    “Aye boss” replied the toothless one, “For life, or just for the game?”

    RIP Nobby. <rose>

    One that Tom can probably relate to.

    2 dads watching junior football.
    “Which one is your lad?"
    ‘Why?"
    “Wanted to tell him how rubbish he is"
    “You can't say that he's only a kid, how would you like it if I said that to your lad?”
    “You have done all game"
    “Why who's your lad?
    “The referee"
    Think before you speak...

    Well given you can start refereeing at 15 I think then they would probably watch as they would have to give them a lift!

    A lot did when I was coaching teams. Often for the very reason in St B’s message

    Tom brings a coach load of relations to protect him as he pedantically flicks the pages of his rule book to explain his decisions on a Saturday afternoon.

    “The rules say.... “

    :)
