Something kicked off during the first half, and received a typically over-the-top response from the local plod. 'Andy Northern Saints' says on the post-match thread that somebody got jumped on for abusing the ref.

My son did comment that the ref was their best player.

What was all the kerfuffle about during the first half ? All I saw was a horde of plod piling in and a few saints fans trying to extricate themselves.

If you go back far enough, I am one of the ruffians from the flower estate, so be careful When asked where I am from it is always Lancashire first, England second, Britain third. If however, it is apparent the implied meaning is 'where were you born?", then of course it is the Royal South Hants Hospital, Southampton.

That explains a lot

We are just lulling the teams above us into a false sense of security.

And if you wanted an easy life, you wouldn't be a Saints fan

Indeed, if we can beat Charlton on April 4th whilst Blackpool beat Plymouth and Barnsley beat Forest, we will be out of the bottom three.

To quote the bloke sat next to me, ( yes I was with the home fans ), it shows how bad the division is if Blackpool can survive. Most 'Pool fans are still worried about the drop, despite their relatively hopeful league position. As for the game, we were much the better of two comparatively poor teams, ( my neighbour did also make comment about Sunday afternoon park football ), though the parlous league positions will undoubtedly have played on the players' minds. I thought we started brightly, Mule was putting himself about well, though we lacked guile around the box; with Blackpool losing out in midfield and tending to play nervously on the break the penalty was unexpected, and soft to say the least,. I think we lost our way a bit when Mule had to go off, and BWP replaced him, ( how on earth is he a professional player ? ). Gillett was making up for lack of inches with over-exuberant challenges, and was lucky not to get a yellow card. The save that KD tipped over was crucial, if we had gone 2 down I think we would have lost. Second half we pushed on, and left ourselves more open at the back as a result, but once we had equalised only 1 team was going to win. Saejis was superb, although he did get into a few awkward moments when he had to cover the RB slot, and Perry also did well. If only Surman's last gasp free kick had crept in. MOM Saejis for me. Stil reckon that Plymouth and Forest will go down with Charlton.

On the faint chance we do go down, why would Rasiak's value decrease ?

Somebody has to pay for the East Stand;)

And the psychiatric reports showed he was a pathological liar suffering from mental illness, and there was absolutely no corroborative evidence whatsoever, other than the fact he has the same blood group as one third of the male population.

Saint George will tell you that it is at best misguided, at worst deliberately slanted propaganda touted by the 'looney lefties'.

That was the biggest load of donkey sh1te ever to soil the airwaves. The main problem with the town is the manc chavs on the p1ss each weekend.

Why not just extend the gap between the points for 1st, 2nd & 3rd; eg 20 for a win 12 for 2nd, 8 for third ? That puts the emphasis on finishing first, or at least trying to. Under this stupid arrangement if a driver wins 6 races and fails to finish any of the rest, ( but overall he has the most wins ) , he would become champion over somebody who wins 5 races and gets 12 2nd places, despite only having 60 points to the runner-up's 146 !:smt102

Just a note for anybody planning to visit the Yates' in the town centre, it burnt down 3 weeks ago.

Says he who puts his location as Bedford.

Locals call it the 'Gene Kelly'

Will set off after lunch, about 13:45, and arrive in plenty of time

But look at where the last 2 teams we failed to beat are ! If you cannot score at home to QPR, you really do have a problem. Also, reduce that table down to the last 4 games and it isn't such good reading, particularly looking at Blackpool in comparison, ( we are about 14th and they are about 6th ).
