    How hard will we be trying?
    What will the team be?
    Hard to make a prediction when we don’t know.
    They are on a stinker at the moment.

    We should routinely beat these 0-3 or 0-4

    If we want to go in to the play offs on a high, then it could be 0-5, 0-6, 0-7… take your pick? They may sneak a consolation goal?

    Bloody hell Rene I remember watching the Iron knock Skelmersdale out of the FA Cup back in 1967 at the OSG, John Colquhoun and Frank Barton scored the goals in a 2-0 win. Bet mick, les, cass and Awaywego were there too.

    Legends.

    Taylor Swift shifted 2.4 million tickets in 24 hours for her ‘The Eras Tour’ last year.

    If we sell 8,000 in total – her network shifted 300 times more in a mere 1,440 minutes.

    1,667 tickets per minute.
    28 tickets a second.

    Shelling peas!

    4 mins 46 seconds to SWIFTLY shift 8,000 tickets!

    Not out of the woods yet.
    A bizarre combination of results would see them relegated.

    Boreham Wood 1-0 Ebbsfleet
    Woking beat Fylde
    Solihull 4-0 York

    Will they ‘pinch’ that last play off place tomorrow?

    Curzon – Boston – South Shields – Spennymoor

    Pick two from four.

    Curzon are in the driving seat – a point for them and it’s job done.

    Boston require a win to be certain.

    Bishop’s Stortford v Curzon
    Hereford v Boston
    South Shields v Southport
    Spennymoor v Kings Lynn

    How depressing would the Curzon dressing room be if they lost at BS and both Boston & South Shields won?

    Eliminator A – 5th place vs 6th place

    Eliminator B – 4th place vs 7th place

    Semi-Final – 2nd place vs winner of Eliminator A

    Semi-Final – 3rd place vs winner of Eliminator B

    Promotion Final – winners of the semis contest.

    Guess I’m now saying:

    EA – Alfreton (5th) to beat Curzon 6th
    EB – Spennymoor (7th) to beat Chorley (4th)

    SF1 – Iron v Alfreton
    SF2 – Brackley v Spennymoor

    Final – Iron v Spennymoor

    That 7th placed spot will possibly go down to the 90th plus X minutes of injury time.

    No horses were killed in the ‘big race’ yesterday:

    “ were some unseated riders and a number of competitors who left the race, or ‘pulled up’ throughout, no horses have died as a result of this year’s Grand National, Manchester Evening News reports. It was announced live after the race that The Jockey Club did say that all the horses ‘got back okay’, and that there were ‘no concerns bar Mac Tottie, who was dismounted immediately after being pulled up and taken to the horse ambulance”

    2 dead 3 badly injured for your pleasure

    13 horses euthanised over the last 20 years either during / after the race or in the days or weeks after the race due to their injuries.

    37 pro boxers have died over the same 20 year period.

    27 F1 drivers died between 1960 & 1980 either in practice or races.

    Life is dangerous.
    It wouldn’t be worth living if it wasn’t.

    We could leave Butterfield, out for Beestin. Whitehall out for Elliot and play Corbett for Roberts and we’ll beat Blyth. They’re on a terrible run. More than enough quality with those replacements to best those shitters. 20 in the form table and have lost the last 3.

    Beestin, Elliot and Corbett have more than enough quality.

    Leave em init to winit!

    VFM.
    4 live TV games for £17!
    VFM.
    The Spanish team (play in equivalent to EFL L2) I follow have four games of their regular season to play.
    Those four games are available to view live on their equivalent media platform for a mere €20 (£17).
    As I’m sadly now back in the UK I’ll be taking advantage of that offer.
    Staff holidays, grand daughter’s birthday and a holiday to distant shores mean that we’ve had to return to the UK and will miss seeing the remaining 4 games in the flesh in Spain.
    Yet another example of Rip Off Britain!

    Bookies are a bit unsure of the outcome for once:

    Iron 1-0 Bulls 6/1
    Iron 2-0 Bulls 6/1
    Iron 1-1 Bulls 6.5/1
    Iron 2-1 Bulls 7/1

    Tight game ahead?

    Euros… again? Yawn.
    Jimbob would still deploy his lone striker against the Jagdgeschwader Formation.
