Scoreboard82

Ah aye, not denying it's possible but it's just a possibility rather than a likelihood IMO. If we lose both games by 1 and Chelsea lost at Forest that would need a 3 goal margin, assuming Chelsea only lost that by one, in their other game v man utd. Doable of course but even us having scored 6 more goals means they might need more.

Hopefully just get the point/points ourselves and it won't matter.

Not sure about the very likely bit. GD currently 4 better than Chelsea and if Forest beat Chelsea it would go up to at least 5. More just a possibility IMO.

Won't be easy but they are there for the taking. This isn't Adam's and Winterburn at the back. Not Henry, Bergkamp or Pires. Ian Wright even. This is an ordinary Arsenal. Let's get it done.

Programme about the Bradford fire of 85 on BBC2 at nine tonight. Fitting that Bradford have been promoted again in the 40th anniversary year.

Forest wouldn't catch us and barring a big Chelsea win in their other game a point for us would see them off. They'd be playing each other not knowing how our last game would pan out, unless word of a big Everton lead...heaven forbid...got through to them.

I know the opposition is poor in the league but we're really just one Villa loss from qualification.

Given our superior GD Forest will probably need maximum pts to catch us assuming we didn't win again. That would be at the expense of Chelsea with them playing each other. Good day for us so far.

I was there earlier in the season with St Mirren if I can help. Just experimented and managed to log in.

Ha ha! There are more people actually on the bus than seeing them off FFS. A real bunch of SMBs.

Officially booted out and Guisely reinstated. Took them long enough to decide that mind. Mate of mine who follows Worksop, Guisely will now play Worksop in tomorrow's final, tells me they didn't finalise their opponents until 11.45pm last night. All tickets were already sold etc. Not the ideal pre match preparation when you don't know your opponents.

Was just an email from Coventry saying as I have attended a home game "recently", sure it was 2 years ago, I have until tomorrow to apply for the play off home leg ticket I'm entitled to. I'm just useless with technology and trying to upload stuff etc so have taken it down. If they go up maybe they'll give me a ticket for the Toon game. Bit too old for sitting undercover with home fans nowadays like.

Disappointed but ultimately relieved with a point as I was starting to think we wouldn't get back into it. Hope the Scousers can help out a bit now 🤞

Pleased you got sorted. Sorry I didn't reply. On holiday so only check the forum now and again. Looks like possibly the biggest occasion for Blue Star since their rebirth.

Aye, number 1 is very handy. Parking is always a struggle down there for run of the mill league games with a gate of 300 so it'll be really difficult on Friday night. There's a free car park outside Denton Burn library on the West Road, near the Denton pub. It's about 10 mins walk from there.

Should be a good crowd there.

I was joking with my daughter about the cold. Saying can they make sure they win the FA cup next time so it's nearer summer when we celebrate.

We were in a bad way when Eddie took over but in absolutely dire straights when KK came in.

Me and the bairn, whey she's 29, were under that big lamppost. Turned up about half 3 and was surprised at how easy it was to get roadside. Soon filled up. Was great to see families and people of all ages coming together. Such a feel good factor today. Walked alongside the bus and ended up on the moor. No ticket check. We were happy to see the players on the bus with the trophy so caught Sir Les talking then headed off. A few feeble attempts to check tickets at the point where we left. Looking forward to all the news coverage of it now. A good day and pleased we went.

I think our version is great TBH 🎶

Had we not ended our trophy drought I'd probably settle for Man City winning the FA cup. Based on I would have hated to see some 'ordinary' club winning something while it eluded us. It's like Leicester when they won the league. Great story, but they're Leicester FFS. I was starting to think of that mackem wife on STID, the "why's it never us celebrating" one. Now I'm happy for some underdog to win it. Having said that I don't like Villa, Forest and to a lesser extent Brighton, so I suppose that doesn't leave many.

Childhood memory but I was at the 76 home coming. I'm sure the team went round the SJP pitch to a packed crowd? Any other old gadgies remember?

Carol Malia on Look North said there'd be a stream on iPlayer. Don't know if there's any way of checking in case I misheard and get grief.

You're both probably right. It was just a poor hoppings/town moor joke with the swings and roundabouts.

Will the majority prefer the parade or will more people choose the town moor? Swings and roundabouts I suppose 😊
