If that had been an overseas player going down so easily the media would go mad.. Anyway I guess its actually extra pressure for Man U or Liverpool to win the cup now a lot of the big boys are out and Arsenal won it last year.
BTW Guess the Scottish FA don't have the same rules that apply down here to number of loan players from one club to another: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31145792
"The owners of Blackpool Football Club are suing a web forum for libel in the latest of a series of actions against fans making derogatory comments online. Owen and Karl Oyston are seeking £150,000 damages from the Back Henry Street website. Papers were served on Thursday over six alleged defamatory comments which were made in 2014. A club spokesman confirmed the legal action but said it would not be commenting further. A notice published on the fans' website stated: "To clear up any rumours, on Thursday 5 February 2015, Back Henry Street was served papers from the court, relating to the Oystons' and Blackpool Football Club's intent to seek damages for six allegedly defamatory comments made on the site in 2014, limited collectively at £150,000." "Last week dozens of Blackpool fans attended a court hearing in Manchester for a separate legal action brought by the Oystons against a fan. David Ragozzino, 32, was given 21 days to respond to a claim for damages from the club. On 30 January another fan, Stephen Sharpe, apologised to the Oystons over his online comments, withdrawing his posts after accepting they were "false, defamatory and, in some cases, threatening". The club also has legal action pending against the former chair of the Blackpool Supporters' Trust, Tim Fielding." (BBC Website) I have had a look at the Back Henry Street forum and like many others it has critical views of the way that the club is being run and the owners. Maybe these owners are more easy to target than others, but to try to win damages against the fans cannot improve their image. It is rather sad to see people making small donations to try and fight this action whereas a large sum of money is required. However the football fans from around the country who do not support Blackpool are doing their best to help with money, and once again are showing that when help is required ask the fan family.
Absolutely ridiculous OFH but a salient reminder to those of us who need it (i.e not you and defintiely me!) to be careful what we say about others on line!
Somebody who can get them to score a goal would be a start. I was wondering have we ever had such a poor run of goalscoring? Noticed despite our very weak Premier league showings we don't pop up in these records of "worse ever"...
League One side Barnsley have sacked manager Danny Wilson and assistant boss Chris Hutchings. Clubs are getting a bit twitchy.
An embarrassing own goal from 45 yards out - embarrassing for the player and for me. I coached him when he was playing U7.... http://sport.bt.com/rose-dud-aussie-defenders-45-yard-own-goal-91363962381866?s_intcid=con_BTcomHP
Brum have called in receivers, not because they cannot pay their bills,(their comment) but because they have a rift at boardroom level. Distinct feeling there is a lot more going on as one ex-board member said in December they would run out of money about now. They are saying that it is the holding company that is in administration, not the football club, but that is the same argument that Southampton tried a little while ago which failed. Points deduction could happen which would put them back into the relegation dog fight.
Certainly is, given the job he has done for them. The only consolation for him would be that there surely will be clubs queuing up for his services. If I was him, I think that I would be overseeing a plunge down the table between now and the end of the season...
so Brentford found out he was up for it and did not appreciate his lack of ambition - all makes sense now
