Aye, sound full back was Geoff but he was never happy marking a nippy winger. :D Did you know that when Ivor joined us we had a meeting, in a pub I think it was, where Don A introduced him to us. Were you there then? Anyway there was a very awkward moment when Geoff complained about the money Ivor was going to be paid and suggested it could be better spent. On what I hadn't a clue but Ivor was not best pleased and really put him in his place. Ivor was always a gentleman as you know but he wouldn't take crap off anyone.

PS: Do you remember that Geoff's girlfriend had ENORMOUS tits. It was the talk of the dressing room when he first brought her to a game. :LOL:

Wolves V Man C. What a remarkable game, initially Man C have their keeper sent of, then get awarded a pen to which the ref said no but VAR said yes,Sterlings attempt gets saved but encroachment by a VAR decision meant a retake,which the Stirling retake was saved once again, unfortunately Stirling scored from the rebound off the keeper, De Bruyne pass to Stirling made it 0-2. but from then on Wolves kept Man C in their own half coming back to 1-2 then 2-2. Man C now being outplayed and forced to virtually park the bus. Closing minutes wolves snatch a winner. Stats say possession in this game was the least City have had since Pep became manager, and the jam on the bread is Wolves have done the league double over them.

BITES YER LEGS BITES THE DUST: Sad to hear this morning that Norman Hunter died this morning from Covid 19. Hunter made over 700 appearances for Leeds United in a 14 year spell with them and was one of the many stars in that great Leeds team of the 70s.

He was a hard man in an era of genuine hardmen and I grew up watching the likes of him, Chopper Harris, Tommy Smith, Dave McKay and many, many others strike fear into the hearts of opposition players. Quite what today's lot of faint-hearts would have made of the tackles that used to fly in in those days, I hesitate to guess. RIP, Norman, I bet St Peter will be on his best behaviour when you appear at the Pearly Gates.

Yes, by todays refereeing standards,most games would be down to five aside by half time. RIP Noman Bites Your Legs Hunter.

Read about a couple of funny football chants today each involving Forest Green Rovers (Rainbow's team) which is the Football League's 'greenest' ground as all food sold at their stadium is plant based. Vegan @Rainbow approves and why not!

Anyway, FG were playing at Walsall and one of their players was fouled, hit the deck and started rolling around. Walsall supporters immediately chanted: "That vegan b*****d, he's eating our grass!"

But FG supporters got their revenge when they taunted Dagenham goalkeeper, Elliot Justham, about his name singing: "You're just a shit Tesco sandwich." :)

EFL: Threat of clubs going bust because of coronavirus not gone away - Rick Parry

It's not looking good for the future of L1 and L2 clubs. There's a drastic shortfall of operating funds across the board and if "social distancing" further impacts attendance at these clubs for next season, if there is a next season, then it can only get worse. I would think we could see carnage followed by a merger of what's left into a combined L1/L2 division.

In order to save on travel and hotel expenses etc we might see a return to the old lower league North/South Divisions with automatic promotion for the top clubs in each Division and play-offs for the next in line. Always made sense to me.
