"struggled to get emotionally invested ... frustrating ... boring ... " - sums up my views perfectly. I would add that I can no longer bear to see Critchley's face spouting his pathetic excuses. When they asked me why I'd cancelled my Tangerine TV subscription that's what I told them, and made...

Not for much longer. You think the Hemmings family are going to keep pouring money into a lost cause, after another failure to make the play-offs?

https://www.lancs.live/news/lancashire-news/deprived-lancashire-area-named-most-28997892?int_source=nba "But what about Blackpool?", they will say. Not even mentioned in the top ten. Blackburn and Burnley are high on the list though. Could this stress be football related?

It wouldn't surprise me if "Charlie Adam's Tangerine Army" was sung very loudly, especially if we're losing.

At least he's trying something different. Dembele, Beasley and Kouassi upfront could be a decent strike force. I'm always optimistic before kick-off - the triumph of hope over experience.

Steve Thompson to replace one or both of Critchley's stooges (what do they actually do anyway?). Like others, I'd like to lose Critchley, but I know that won't happen. Simon Sadler will give him another season hoping things will improve. They won't, unless he takes steps to improve them - see...

An engineer comes to work one day with a new bike. His friend says "Cool bike. Where did you get it?" First guy says "I was walking home through the park. A beautiful woman on a bike rode up, jumped off the bike, stripped naked, and told me to take whatever I wanted. I took the bike." "Good...

Critchley will be furious with the second goal. He loves a 1-0 almost as much as a 0-0.

I saw this first on Twitter and this was my reply: I let my BST membership lapse because I thought they had lost focus on their real job. I shall have to reconsider that now.

There are no positives in this. Critch will blame the team for not following the plan. He'll cry all the way to the bank ... again!

As you say, there are so many rules that the refs don't enforce at the moment, either through incompetence, indifference, and sometimes malice. The 6-second rule that Grimshaw flouts regularly exasperates me. The foul throws where one foot is clearly off the ground is another. Most of all, the...

Up the Bristol Street Trophy Cup League we go!

Pity we don't get to welcome Appleton, but we can put that stored energy into backing the team. I'm not worried about the "new manager bounce" - unless they've hired Dobbie on the quiet! 😁 We'll win this if we play with the form we've shown recently. 3-1 to the Mighty!

Apparently we have three named stands, though two of the names are rarely used. From Wikipedia: "The three permanent stands are named the Stan Mortensen North Stand (denoted by the acronym "B.F.C." spelled out in white seats, the Jimmy Armfield South Stand (with "ARMFIELD" spelled out in white...

I'm 65 and I have the body of a 20 year old. I'll have to bury it soon, it's starting to smell ------- Went to donate blood today. Awful experience - never again! Question after question: "Who's blood is it? Where did you get it? Why is it in a bucket?"

Here's some jokes from an American comedian called Emo Phillips. He is weird. When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me. You don't appreciate a lot of stuff in school until you...

I've just seen an old joke on Reddit, and it reminded me it was Friday. Even though the joke is about WW2 it's topical today with Putin's invasion of Ukraine: Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin want to prove that their generals have a larger sense of duty and tenacity compared to the other...

He won't play his top two defenders tonight. He'll save them for the league. I hope I'm right and he plays his second string of Pennington and Ekpiteta instead 😉 😂

I liked your team selection, Athers, and I'll be cheering tomorrow if it comes off. However, as you say, Connolly (who Critchley loves like a son), has to be included somewhere - it's the First Rule of Critch Club - but instead of including him instead of Marvin, I would include him instead of...

Just got home and having a large whisky for celebratory and warm-up purposes. That was a great game and we were given a good test by a decent side, but we were better. Our loan players - Dembele and Rhodes - were the key to our win and we need to be making serious efforts to bid for them in...
