Goldaming Yellow's response, to my previous contribution, is very worthy and there may be a point if the reference was to the to the League, FA Cup or FA Trophy. However the Setanta Shield is a tournament devised by a TV company for their purposes rather than to benefit football. Players may sustain...

The Setanta Shield may be a tournament too far. However, we have to play it, so might as well use it positively to give youth players a competitive match.

We are the biggest club in non league football so we should use the Shield in the same manner as top Premiership Clubs use the League Cup.

UE: Haldane scores twice and is denied hat trick by goal line clearance in the last minute.

I think hate is a very strong word.

Personally, I intensely dislike Slumdon Town Football Club, more than any football club in the world.

I do, however, hate Racism, Fascism, Homophobia etc. Hope that is OK with the PC contributors to this forum.

Not sure what DP's priorities are with regard to new players. If they involve a forward Beavon might be worth looking at.

He was very good, at Oxford, this year and I think he is only being released due to Weymouth's financial problems.

Interesting article about why we shouldn't hate Slumdon.

If I remember correctly a previous fanzine tried to peddle the same line but both articles ignore the simple biological point - it's in the genes - I can't help hating Slumdon. Sorry!

Seems bit of an over reaction to the defeat at Evesham.

Burgess might be a useful sub for us. Bit like Beckham - come on for the last ten minutes and send in a few useful crosses.

Sorry, I don't wish to be too pedantic, but Brackley is in Northamptonshire.

Take the point about two local sides though.

Terrible tackle near the end today. Not sure what Clarkey's injury is but could be out for a while. Strange that their player only got a yellow card in contrast to the red card Clarke got at Barrow. Matt Day can stand in but our defensive cover is looking a bit thin. Is there anyone else that can pl...

Ue - Oxford City away in next round

Just some clarification for 'Snake'. Just because I refuse to be a Kassam apologist, doesn't mean I have heroes from Woodstock and Wigan. In the interests of the truth, I will confess that I voted for Winston Churchill in that BBC poll about people from the 20th Century and cheered as Trent Barrett ...

If Firoz Kassam set the rent - I doubt it!

Amnesia seems to be taking over the forum. I believe that when Kassam took over we were a Championship Club with decent crowds. When he left we were on the verge of falling out of the league and, fundamentally, that is the cause of our current plight. I expect Kassam's personal wealth increased dram...

The highlight of the past few matches, for me, has been the introduction of Sam Deering as substitute. Yesterday, it was sheer bliss to see a skilful player, passing well, taking players on, and even winning the odd header, for the full 90 minutes. Hopefully we can have more of the same as the midfi...
