  1. It's all on Platten and the committee. It's been one balls up after another, since Alun Armstrong was allowed to leave. Hearing that Farsley Celtic may be relegated owing to ground grading issues so Blyth may be saved, but this is hope rather than expectation now.
  2. Disagree. The officials on the pitch missed the incident and didn't even check it themselves in the monitor. Do they ever? I don't watch much live football these days, so I don't get to see, but every time I see VAR used it appears as if the ref just stays on the pitch, waiting to be informed of the decision. I also think, for what it's worth, that the timing of the fact that VAR had missed the red card (came out during the game) wasn't ideal. Would have been far better served releasing it post-match. Worse still, that VAR official did the Leicester v Man City game at 5:30 as well!
  3. Refreshing to hear from a referee given how veiled they are from the media. A tough balance but I think they should be allowed to speak more and explain their decisions though I'm not sure as to how the best way to achieve this. Definitely merit in doing it though.
  4. Bring on Atletico second leg, if they grab an early goal like they did in the first year (no easy feat at Anfield I admit), they may have a chance
  5. It'll have to be one for VAR you'd think And the lower leagues without VAR? Exactly, there'd be no consistency and more frustration. I personally don't see any need to change the current position massively to be honest

  7. Expecting a washout this weekend with Storm Dennis on the way, steady rainfall from 7am onwards on already saturated ground - fingers crossed I'm wrong !
  8. Great to see Hebburn finally get a home tie after a number of long trips away (Lower Breck, Vauxhall Motors, Longridge). Last time they had a home tie was Sunderland RCA on 2 November. Should be a bumper crowd - I'm away unfortunately otherwise I'd have been there
  9. Hebburn v Plymouth Parkway Atherstone Town / Worcester City v Consett
  10. Excellent news, and a great result for Hebburn. Shame for West Auckland though, but 2 teams left in the Vase. Draw today, hopefully they're both kept apart!
  11. Was a great game last night. 1,704 there and a good contest throughout (with a bit of controversy). 1-1 draw a fair result and a great atmosphere. Off to Ryton v Redcar in the NL Div 2 cup tonight! Good win for Ryton last night. Not a vintage game by any stretch and was tense throughout, but Ryton probably shaded it and now advance to the semis where they'll play either Jarrow FC, Tow Law Town or West Allotment Celtic.

  13. Will be popping up to Morpeth v South Shields game tonight, the 'lights' derby with a fair bit of recent history between both sides it should be a cracker!
  14. That's a shame to hear, but hopefully the club don't suffer too much in the long run. Always had a soft spot for York and it's always been a good day out. I'll certainly try and attend before the doors finally close on BC, one of the proper old school ground (of which there are less and less now unfortunately).
  15. The move to a new stadium may have been needed but it will be located well outside of York City Centre I believe. One of the key reasons Bootham Crescent was good as an away fan / neutral was due to its central location and ease of access to the city centre (bars / shops etc.). Only time will tell if its a good move I guess though. I was at the Darlington game Saturday. Guiseley deserved winners and Darlington were very poor and didn't have a shot on target all game. Tough one for the officials with some very interesting decisions for them.
