Lee Molyneux was the S&C coach that Gordon used a while back, so it’s a great sign of Armstrong’s attitude - for me Gordon had the best attitude, desire to improve of any of our youngsters in the past 10 years or so. Having watched as many games...

Welcome to the dire commentary those of us who watch the u21s have suffered for years - Daz , Snods, and Diamond are regular embarrassments for anybody who wants to hear a decent commentary where they actually get players names right .

I lived in Claddaghduff just a few km from the western most point past Clifden for 5 months from August to December (a temporary work posting in Clifden - 1989). I thought I'd love it but the weather was awful. I didn't see the sun for 4...

I think you'll probably find it was the crowd singing in tune mate.😃

How you have coped so far is amazing Pete , I think it is sad the dog must go but needs must .The last thing you need is to be irritated by something you can do something about . Stay strong that man .

Well Kay drove me up the wall on the drive, fiddling with the car door latch every minute or two, even though I had the rear doors and windows on childlock. I didn’t get much sleep, if any, the night before which probably made me somewhat...

Hello everybody. So sorry to hear your Mum had a fall @jazzy. I hope she can stay at home with you for as long as possible. I hope your back is improving. I went back to work today- a whole 4 hours of a phased return. It was OK though. Then I...

I remember Nixon , and others , were saying we were signing Harrison Duncan , a young defender from Rotherham, a few months ago. It would be good to see the new Scholars and their stories.

The Athletic now running Gokah and Dodds are joining our scholars. Credit where its due, Nixon and Orourke have proven broken clocks are in fact correct twice a day

Morning everyone. Well I enjoyed the Madonna film but I'm more Desperately Seeking Rain than Susan. Garden is wilting before my eyes. We don't have a hosepipe ban ( yet ) but watering a 2 acre garden even with a hosepipe isn't easy. Anyway...

This isn't true by the way. U21 players don't count towards the squad limit so we can play whichever of the young players we like. There's a good reason that we don't though, they haven't been good enough.

Nice to get relatives on here. I remember we used to get Charlie Whitaker's uncle posting occasionally. A Sheffield Wednesday fan if I recall correctly. Also Bernie the Bolt's son pops up from time to time.

Following rugby’s example is something I’ve espoused on GOT for many many years. Player safety really. If someone falls to the ground clutching their head they could be concussed , so off they go for a 10 minute “ HIA”, head injury assessment...

I love that image. I’m going to get it printed and framed by my lad and put up in the pub…..

They had remarkably good English those Norman tapestry makers , love their quote though 😉
