“Doncaster is the birthplace of the toilet.”

City to put them to the sword by 3 to the 1..

 

Tricky one for me .. Donny are one of those teams you always think you should beat .. usually do .. but struggle to do it .. parking me arse on the fence and gone for a draw

 

I hope we do them 10-0 purely for the Clarkson connection.

 

Hmmmm

Doncaster have played all four teams in the play-off slots this season and have won every game, including away at Charlton and Portsmouth.

 

Time to Lance that Doncaster boil.

 

He is the best thing about the place.

 

Was Tommy Crapper a Donny lad?

 

I seem to recall a few years ago when we were on the rise from the lower leagues, we had a TV game v Doncaster, I think it was a Friday night game, we’d still never won on TV at this point, we were all expecting to get the win, finished 0-0.

 

Donny take it 1-2

Not to worry

 

3-1 to the Hull City, 3-1 to the Hull City, 3-1 to the Hull city, 3-1 to the Hull city

 

Wigan winning at Lincoln... other key scores 0-0

edit... Burton winning at Sunderland too...

edit the edit... Blackpool winning as well now...

 

As always, 4-0 City or win on pens

 

First game I won't get to watch this season, gutted TBF!

3-1 city

 

Some interesting scores tonight Lincoln grab a late winner .. Sunderland grab a late equaliser .. ipswich draw as well and Pompey lose. Not bad with Fleetwood losing currently.

 

My memory of this is it was a Monday night game about 2003. Watched it in a pub in Newcastle with a Donny supporting mate. Nobody else in the pub interested at all but we wouldn't let them turn it over. Ended up getting slung out for riding a push bike around the pub for reasons too hazy to remember.


Defo nil nil though.
