He spent more time on his feet this time rather than trying to get a penalty..great game but it's one good game on how many seasons!! It was well over due...and I hope I'm wrong thinking it won't last and it kick starts his career

I'm feeling the need to post (I do so very rarely) as I want to share that I absolutely support DC and whatever he does throughout this season. I believe in judging a manager annually, or maybe halfway through the season at worst. Not day by day or game by game as seems to be the vogue currently. My logic is that I do not have access to the information needed on a daily, weekly or monthly basis to question his decisions in terms of team selection, transfer dealings etc to make a fair judgement. So instead I choose to assess managers on results over the season. Based on the last 2 seasons he can do whatever he wants this season and I will only question him at the end if we fail to stay in league 1. I completely understand that hardly anyone else feels like this based on forum contributions and the moaners at games. I appreciate my view is just that, mine and a forum is a place for debate but the negativity, recurring criticism and over reacting to team changes over the past 2 months is getting very exasperating to read. Just wanted to put out there that I have utmost respect for DC and he has my total support for the rest of the season come what may. He has earnt it. I honestly do not expect people to agree with me or my view, but I just felt like putting it out there. UTG I do agree that the end result is what matters but it's more frustration off fans that pay every week to watch it and travelling the miles and hotels etc that go one week watch us play well and completely dominate games then give their money and time travelling to an away game to see that team dropped and replaced by a weaker team against better oppositions??? It's not a case of moaning for the sake of it...it's more frustration...if the same teams with the same formation that lost then its a lot easier to take on the chin...just my opinion

Why not, this time last season we signed Fallon & McBurnie if we needed those in Div 2 surely we also need at least one more striker in Div 1, if I was DC, I'd sign a goalie, a CB, a CM and a CF. We got James now though and Bodin is in better form than then. I don't think we are in such a rush to go up from thia league. Long term going up this season may not be a good thing for us. If we went up one season and come straight down we would have all those gate reciepts and £6 million from the league?

Luke James has scored 19 goals in 90 games for Hartlepool??? Yeah your right being promoted would be a terrible thing..all that money from going up would be really bad and attracting more players to club being a championship club..we would be much better off showing we're a club that's happy to linger in league one

Where? Doing a Google search just suggests he's off to a Championship club no mention of Swindon? Grimsby Striker Omar Bogle has attracted interest from League 1 club Swindon. Sources suggesting a deal is close to being made #gtfc #stfc Its on efl transfer news I hope it's wrong but we seem to be really slow on signings as everyone else in our league is confirming signings... Bristol evening post up to there usual saying sh**ty are signing taylor For seven figure sum

All over the net he's off to Swindon? If that's the case I would love to know how much for as we should have done the deal if we could afford it! I can't see Swindon having a big budget??? Where?

Rest my case...with that team we never went there to win it...very bad managerial decision that's cost us big time Perhaps you should apply for the managers position ? Clarke isn't perfect and I get fed up of fans thinking he's the messiah He admits he gets it wrong and the score proves it...

Kodi is brilliant for watching any tv shows / movies, but as you said ive always found it a nightmare getting good sports streams, or ones that last anyway! I wouldnt say kodi is simple to use as addons (apps) often go down or have broken links but watching a few YouTube vids usually sorts it! I'd be a bit hesitant to pay £50 up front, how long you had it? Any issues at all? I've had sportsmania a week but my mates a year, you don't have to Sign up for a year as there's other options as in a day/week/month/3 months etc...I signed up for 3 months

You're handing over your credit card details to a company board casting illegal football streams based in the Netherlands? My credit card is protected and I'm not handing over my money to someone who's ripping me off monthly!!! Buying anything online is a gamble these days with hackers etc but I've done my homework and All is good

Just had a look on Amazon, and am a bit befuddled by all the different kodi boxes available. Obviously I'd like to do this as cheaply as possible, but don't want to end up with a rubbish box - any recommendations from those ITK?? Android TV Box Fully Loaded 4K Ultra HD Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS TV Box Tonbux® T11 Amlogic S905X Quad Core Streaming Media Player DDR3 WiFi This is a good one and on the lower end price wise

Kodi is a tv box you can get fully loaded from Amazon for £30-£40, Which has all the films and tv you can think of for free... It just streams off your internet so it's good if you have a good connection, saying that mine isn't great and I don't have a problem with it...I've just signed up to sportsmania as the sports channels on the box always buffer or don't work but sportsmania is brilliant..all hd..no buffering Got one just over a month ago, have now cancelled sky totally saving £92 p/m, would recommend to everyone, not hard to use either. Yeah it's a god send to anyone who wants to save their money rather It to go to companies who put your monthly bills up without telling you then you hear a player has just signed a ridiculous contract being on crazy money a week...I'm so happy with it now I have the added hd sports..

To me there's no cons...you can see reviews on YouTube etc... Basically you turn the kodi box on which is plugged into your tv and there's lots of apps on there that show different things as in tv programmes/latest and old films/sports...the only thing on the boxes that aren't that reliable is the sports but now after doing research and seeing my mates I've signed up to sportsmania and it's amazing...if you need any help on more info just let me know

Any good on Android, anyone know? Sorry to be dumb, but what is Kodi and can I get one in my cave, will it power up from my steam engine.

I've had a kodi box for a while and gave up on the sports but a mate told me about sportsmania and it's fantastic..hd sports/Sky/bt/premiership games at 3pm showing all of them with no buffering and all for £50 a year...just to let fellow gasheads know you can watch it all for that rather than give murdoch and premiership clubs all this outrageous monthly bills etc

Arsene wenger has stated in the papers today " the whole system has to be thought about again. Maybe you could create a possibility for some clubs to own part of a league one club as a feeder club"
I think that's a shocking thought process...arsene has stated this because they bought a player Dan Crowley when he was 15 and he's now 19 and they can't progress him to first team football...
I think premiership clubs are really struggling to keep hold of their identity as it stands and the last thing everyone in lower leagues needs is their club to used as a reserve team for premiership clubs...

Just a third hand rumour ( someone tells your guy, your guy tells you and you tell us) but even if true it's still more than our managers have had available in recent years - no one at the club has promised big money signings and wages have to be added to any fees so fees of £400k can often be doubled once additions to wages budget are taken into account. We probably just earmarked several million for the new training ground on top of that so I think that's reasonable support from the owners at this this level. [/quote Believe what you want but I guarantee that's what we spend or less Ready to eat my words if not?
