I went to see them quite a lot starting from around the time of the Sir Roy Gardner takeover (five year Premiership and 40,000 stadium plans!) and every attack involved them going back to the halfway line.

Watching United on Wednesday night brought it all back.

Oh god you poor bloke! Wouldn't wish that on anyone

If you'd started watching a year and a half/two years before you'd have seen some half decent attacking football that had us up to 4th in the Championship at one point!

And the 40,000 seater stadium idea for the World Cup bid was farcical! We average about 7,800 now (although that's amazing considering for the past two seasons we've been fighting relegation. Last year I'm fairly certain we had about the third highest average attendance after the two automatic promoted teams, or something like that)!

Our last attack was one of the worst moments of the season. Got the ball forward and then went back with it, like watching Plymouth a few years ago.

Or at any point since.

Game at Torquay was called off at 2:30 pm yesterday. Just when I was on the middle of the M5.

I played the first 10 minutes the other night and had to turn it off once i got to a section where you open a door and a hanging body swings out the door

I watched the Rev3 Games guys livestream this over the course of a few months and it looked creepy as fuck!

There's a bit where there's two blokes just butt naked and you can see their dicks.

He was definitely sacked. Eddie Gray came on TalkSport and told Collymore that McDermott had rung him last night saying he'd been sacked but now the club are saying he's still the manager.

I'd have just thought they'd still do a program providing there was enough games on. Maybe they didn't think there was.

There were only 4 Championship games, not really fair on Leagues 1 and 2 I agree but I'm guessing that's the reason!

If anything it was a good chance to give more coverage to L1 and 2.

It is a bit shit, they only seem to cater mostly for the Championship, which is fair enough in most respects, there's bigger teams in it but for them not to show two full leagues worth of games (bar a couple who were playing in the cup) because one league was busy is a bit of a piss take imo.

Correct.

Bullshit, anyone know why? There were a lot of games on. It's like when there were no Championship games but a full roster of leagues one and two yet the Beeb still didn't have a FLS.

In my mind a foul like that is a foul when the contact is so severe that you can't stay on your feet. He clearly could and chose to go down for my money.

I think they stopped the PC game to concentrate on a handheld version which turned to shit. Which is when I switched to FM.

Not surprised Lomas has gone, results haven't been good and the fans don't like him either, I don't think.

We beat second in the league Oxford 3-2 in a game that Oxford had been bigging up as "The Big Match" for months, giving lout cheap tickets, huge advertising campaign, boasting a sell out (nowhere near), pyrotechnics, flags to every home fan, an opera singer pre-match. And we went and ruined it for them. There's quite a few bitter Oxford fans on Twitter.
