A full time investor is the way forward for me for the club to get back to the league but that’s very unlikely to happen

Most seems reasonable in terms of ideas. The thing that didn't seem quite right was a suggestion that the stadium stuff was over to us to choose a site and just get on with it. My understanding was that our site will effectively be the preference of council town plan and where a sports facility / ve...

That is the last mention of a points deduction on the club website / news.

Whilst abusing match officials and crowd behaviour issues are against FA rules they aren't contrary to any league competition rules - and only one can result in a points deduction.

I see from Facebook that we have a suspended points deduction. I must have missed/ forgotten about this. What was it for? And will last night’s flare incident impact have an impact? Was it now for the crowd trouble at Scarborough last season. I was almost sure that was an FA matter not a league mat...

The league are the only ones who can issue points deductions and stuff like pryros is the FA's domain.

The only thing you usually get points deductions for is league administrative issues.

Going to jinx it right now - but it is "in our own hands" to be out of the relegation zone at 5PM on Saturday.

Blyth v King's Lynn and Banbury v Southport, they can't all get 3 points!

As long as 28 days have elapsed parent club can recall. There is an exception for goalkeepers where you don't need to wait 28 days. I strangely assumed that Barrow would still be with York day-to-day - so would have already been looked at. Like I assumed that Young would still be with Sunderland dur...

Football throws more people out than it keep, but I'd never rule out anyone being able to get a good fit somewhere and it working out for a year or two...anything beyond that is a very long time in football.

I thought that.

Unless I am mistaken there wasn't a single Gowling player who featured against Curzon Ashton?

It was Armstrong + Watson.

What were the actual laws when football was first played? Back passes, Substitutes and Offsides were all brought in as the game developed...

Which means a sin bin will be communicated through issuing a yellow card + verbal confirmation to the player to confirm they need to go to the sin bin.

As it has been for the past however many seasons it has been trialled for below step 4.

There's also Ashton United, Ashton Town and Ashton Athletic. It's a very decent setup, they're always welcoming, no need for segregation and never any animosity that I've seen. Great pitch too-lay off them! They're a decent team and we've been really struggling so let's enjoy the ride. Ashton Town ...

Yesterday marked the 25th aniversary of the last all-English Premier League side. "Not Darlo related, do-one" you scream? That team contained two players with Darlo connections. Who can guess who they are? And the last "All English" side to actually win anything were" ? I thought it was West Ham......

I listened on DFR. Didn’t this goalie make two good saves at the end of the match? I think from Salkeld.

Not sure I'd describe one from Salkeld as a save as much as he picked up a shot...

Indeed. I think if we were to beat Southport by two goals we would be back level with them on GD as well.

Games against teams around us arguably '7 pointers' never mind 6 pointers as they could reduce the damage of the Chorley / Buxton games.

The only hope I cling onto is putting it that we need 6 more points than Kings Lynn, 7 more points than Banbury and 8 more points than Southport out of the 36 that there are to play for. We play Banbury and Southport so that is where we need 3 of them need to come from... I'd say we need 6 points f...

Think those numbers are quite conservative.

I know full backs in NPL Division One costing more than what you have down for Barrow there.

And youth strikers on loan from fellow NLN clubs to that level who are paid more than what you have down for Cornish.

Bang on. Obviously Kev would be at most matches anyway, but he must be putting in 10 hours of graft away from the ground per match he records - decimating his weekend. He also uses up his leave from work to go shit-tips on a Tuesday night. And all of that is before we talk abou8t the fact that his ...

What could possibly go wrong.

Things are not looking good at Rochdale.

The statement from the chairman is pretty blunt

"It has no cash to continue operating"..."the existence of the club is at stake"

Don't know what the right approach is with this sort of thing... it seems different clubs have different attitudes when there's violence involved. It is quite a subjective call based on the impact of any backlash especially once a person has 'served their time' (as determined by the courts) so to s...

Rushall have taken an interesting approach to this by pretty much ignoring it completely and not making any reference to it whatsoever as if it didn't happen. Wonder what became of Marcus Maddison? Didn't he say he wanted to become a tattoo artist or something? Unless he has been released after 25%...

Anyone know what this embarrassment is about?

Please don't tell me these flags are anywhere near our home games?

Bit of inspiration.

We can’t even find a replacement for Mr Q. That’s how far things have slipped.

By memory he was last seen when we were playing well - yep, that long ago….

Could you have landed on the problem?

Causation v correlation?

Can I sum up the first post. The economics, when run as a not for profit, don't provide a return on investment. We therefore need to relinquish control to a private investor who won't be able to get a return on their investment. If we can't generate enough surplus income to provide a return on inves...

I'd sooner we use the existing yellow and red cards to sort out the issues at hand (including dissent but also timewasting) rather than introducing things like cards no one asked for which might very well make other problems worse. The cards are for existing offences. The punishment for the offence...

The sin bin is based on a view that clubs care more about results than £10 fines. It's actually being discussed around translating disciplinary into actual points sanctions. The FA are discussing with the various leagues at the moment. Some amateur leagues have began doing it and view is that might ...

If you look online today there is some stuff kicking off in Australia at the moment. They have confirmed they lose 40% of officials year on year and the main reason given is abuse. People think it is extreme but there is a genuine fear from FIFA and all the country FAs that football is no longer sus...
