The Laird

The events of the 2nd half of last season, together with the disastrous close season, led to me increasingly falling out of love with football - these kids are reawakening my passion for the beautiful game! Many Thanks.

My God. This is so boring!

Hope Portmouth end their Championship winless run before we play them!

My Dad always claimed to have been hit in the face by an off target shot from Bronco Lane

Bristol City away, late 90's. Bitter cold, billowing snow and home fans singing "there's only one Bed and Breakfast"

I don't have a problem with referees following a particular team - we're all football lovers. Surely it's not beyond the wit of man to keep them away from matches that "their" team have a vested interest in though.

Though it was Bassett and Big Ron when Saint interviewed Greavsie's spitting image puppet. Still makes me laugh

When all our rivals win important 1-0's and we only draw a six pointer you can only blame ourselves really!

Really missed Sheffield Cam of late too. Hope all is well with them both.

I’ve always thought he was ok. Mind you, unlike most, I always thought Fox and Nuhiu were too.

I'd love just one year in the Premier League for the financial security it should bring and the fact it would give the faithful at least one year of top flight football to tell their grandkids about. Other than that my happiest seasons have been when we've been chasing promotion from the lower leagues. Far better than getting smashed every week by well established teams whose financial clout we'll never be able to match as they are now so far ahead.

I really do try to remain optimistic but, I just know, deep down inside, that with 7 teams seeking 6 slots, not only will we be the ones to miss out, it will happen in the most painful way, probably in the last few minutes of the final game.

Sennelager?

Great to have you back. Hope there was nothing serious behind your absence on Sunday. Regards.

As an avid reader of his OMDT's I've developed a great affection for Lord Snooty and his musings which are, for me, an important part of the match day experience. When he's a no show I just hope all is well and nothing serious is holding him back.
