There is a picture of the new away top in this weeks 'Match of the Day' magazine if anyone would like to see it.

Attended my first game of the season on Saturday as I now live in England. I thought it was crying out for someone to play off Higdon. I think he would be extremely useful for us if we had a 'Dougie Arnott' buzzing around just off him. In other news I thought both teams were decent on Saturday and tried to play football in the right way.

I was at that game, the linesman was about 20 at most and was white as a sheet for the remainder of the first half after a few fans pointed out that he may have made an error of judgement . There is no hiding place for officials at non league football. Thankfully, Blyth won the replay 4-0 on Monday night and are now into the quarter finals.

Has anyone any idea how much of Blackman's wages we were paying ?

Working in the North East of England, the feeling about Sbragia is, nice guy, good coach, shite manager.

As I said earlier in the thread, talk of Blue Square accepting £500 at 10/1 on a brand new account was a load of shite.

Two bookies were involved, one was Blue Square and the market was pre-match only and it was a Motherwell player to get a red card at 10/1. Blue Square would not lay a bet on a new account for £5,000.

William Hill and Ladbrokes, the two biggest bookmakers were 3/1 and 4/1 on a red card. I doubt whether any of these two bookmakers would have accepted £500 on an established account on what is a 'novelty' market. The story about a new account placing £500 at 10/1 with a smaller bookmaker doesn't stack up.

Sunderland's pre-season Looks like the 7th August is in doubt

We've taken a young winger called Josh Gillies on trial from non-league football in North East England. He was on the bench for Blyth Spartans on Saturday against Dunfermline and will sign for them if his trial with us doesn't come off. Clicky
