*STOP PRESS* Darlington 2 v Hereford 0 - A REAKLY good performance sees Darlo actually win a home game! 2 goals, clean sheet, the winner scored by a debutant ( Matty Cornish) and the first made by debutant Cedric Main.

Steve Watson hopefully starting to build a recovery after the awful leadership of Joshua "howling" Gowling.

Unfortunately we in Kent haven't really got a premier club. Can't count Gillingham as a big club. :smile:

Doncaster Rovers 1 ... Stockport County 5

This win sees Stockport still top of League 2, now five points clear of second place Wrexham who have a game in hand and six points clear over Mansfield in third place on level games played.

The Black Country derby between West Brom and Wolves in the FA Cup has been suspended due to crowd trouble. Wolves lead 2-0

Once described as... "The greatest German general that no-one has ever heard of".

Anyhoo, back to the football, after a half hour or so delay.

I’m more looking forward to the draw, with Leeds in it due to a pending replay with Plymouth.

Hardly stuff of the 70s 80s as far as crowd trouble goes but i suppose there is that little of it actually inside the stadiums these days it'll make big news tomorrow.

I'd be more worried with guy from Stoke who chased the ref off the pitch yesterday in the Pompey win at Vale.

Edit.
Just seen that the bloke involved is 62!! One of the old school no doubt!

Ipswich Town got exactly what they deserved after treating the competition with disrespect by changing almost their entire team.

Dreadful scenes; Hopefully serious action will be taken, perhaps the next three (at least) games of both clubs to be played behind closed doors. That might get through to the imbeciles the fact that actions have consequences.

I suspect that once CCTV is reviewed, a number of people will get an early morning knock on the door. Those involved will no doubt feel the full weight of the law, which will bear no resemblance to the punishment dished out for the same acts committed on a Saturday night in a town centre near you. I don’t see why the entire fanbase should be punished for the actions of a few.

Sorry but I disagree.
I do agree that the incident at Port Vale was totally unacceptable, but considering the crowd trouble at the Hawthornes, if you were a parent with young children stuck in he middle of that doesn’t bare thinking about.

Due to the ongoing pitch issues at Dunston UTS, the home game tomorrow against Grantham Town is being played at Consett. This is at the direction of the NPL / FA.

It seems slightly ironic the 'home' supporters are worrying about the 12 mile journey between Dunston & Consett. Gingerbreads fans have got a 320 mile round trip. On a Tuesday night!

It was a big surprise, but I understand and accept Jurgen's decision. He's given us nearly nine years and won six major trophies (hopefully he can sign off with one or two more), so I think he's more than earned the right to, as he put it, try and live a normal life while he still can. I have a feeling his next and likely final job will be the German national team. I have to say I find it unsurprising and amusing to see rival fans being keen on the idea of Gerrard being the next manager of Liverpool, but I expect many of them are going to be left disappointed.

As an aside, a proper cup match against Norwich City yesterday, who to their credit gave us a good game. Thoroughly deserved Player of the Match award winner Conor Bradley looks like a real prospect based on what I've seen of him this season, as does defensive colleague Jarell Quansah.

Jurgen Klopp is a Christian and it seems a committed one. Perhaps he decided their are more important things in his life than the week in grind of football.

And before anybody says anything REV are my initials (sic).

On one YouTube video someone throws a red flare onto the pitch at WBA Vs Wolves. If you can smuggle a flare in then it must be even easier to conceal a blade. Incredible given the increase in knife crime that fans aren't properly frisked on entry!

Well, being caught with a flare anywhere in the region of a football ground is likely to get you a banning order for 3 to 5 years. I imagine having a knife or similar would result in a prison sentence as well. After all, the law regards football supporters as far worse than those who commit proper crimes elsewhere!
