Interesting when you put City v Gas

 

I had a feeling the first person to reply to my thread would be a city fan and mention City Vs Gas results shpuld of added a poll to it.

 

I was going to have a poll for most annoying Gashead but didn't need it, already a forgon conclusion

 

That would be you ROD

 

I seem to remember that in the Watney Cup you could only be caught offside in the penalty area.

 

would love this rule to be back!

 

They should scrape the offside rule altogether we might win a match then

 

We can't defend mind so we could end up losing 10-0 each week

 

Bit harsh maybe 10-1

 

Oh yeah, cuz we got that dude from x-factor up front for us now, forgot about him

 

What Matty Harrold

 

the slower strikers who have quality like lambert would be up for getting rid of the offside rule. staying by the pen box goal hanging would work a treat for them!

this board been busy today!

 

Just a thought has anyone seen Rovers play Sheff Utd?

 

here is all the pens for our watney cup final over sheff utd

great video

 

if you get lucky and scrape a replay, Bramall Lane is a good ground to go to and you ought to visit it. One of the ones with a really good atmosphere
