Todays Games

Hartlepool 5-4 on pens.......

 

Absolutely gutted at this end, Torquay being our local club. They've been in the top two nearly all season and just lost out on automatic promotion in the last two games. They've been scoring a lot of late late goals to snatch wins/draws but this was stunning, only for the dreaded penalties. Suggestions are that one of the two disallowed goals TUFC scored was OK as well!!.
A lot of talk down this way as to why they still only allow two teams into League 2, allowing teams at the foot of L2 to coast to the end of the season. Structure should allow for at least three, if not four, the same as L2 to L1, thoughts?

 

I rather like the new Formula One qualifying system. Friday's fastest lap gets pole position for today's 'sprint' qualifying over about one-third of the full race distance, which in turn decides the grid positions for tomorrow's actual race. Makes qualifying more interesting.

 

Be interesting to see how hard they race today. We’ll know that at the first corner I suppose. But a worthwhile innovation, two races for the fans to see.

 

The R's had a game tonight against Ebbsfleet Utd, primarily an U23 side plus a £13m rated full back and Niko......... R's lead 2-0 at HT but game abandoned due to biblical rain and R's have to defend the deep end in 2nd half...........

 

Celtic dumped out the Champions League by Midgetland

 

So off we go with Bournemouth v West Brom..........

 

West Brom might well struggle to adapt to the new boss' football.

 

Pah, as I type. Nice goal.

 

Rivals dropping points already

 

Good result for us! These two will be in the top eight, Two points dropped.

 

Every draw is one point lost.

 

Just beat me to it!

 

Hang on, there were only three available.

 

WBA say "we dropped 2 points!"
Bournemouth say "we dropped 2 points!"
3 - 4 = 2 (I am a maths teacher, btw )

 

Rangers, unbeaten in league last season, lose at Dundee Utd 1-0...

 

Sheff Utd not looking very good.

 

Ruperts held by Boro and were hanging on at the end after dominating...

 

Forest after leading...lose to Coventry in 96 minute.

Houghton won't be pleased
