    Derby match date and time

    All the fixture lists are still showing our match at Legoland as 3pm Saturday. I cannot for a minute believe this won't change. I'm assuming it will be midday on Sunday. How much notice needs to be given for fixture changes?

    Would welcome the views of anyone involved in mini football My lad plays minis U8s, and I help coach. We have enough players to run several teams at this age group. The usual mix of outstanding, average and struggling with the basics kids. The "head coach" has decided he wants the best players...

    Penalty takers?

    If it should go the distance, who would be your 5? Ayew and Grimes - obvious. Hourihane- if he's on, but I can't see him lasting 120 mins. Bidwell, Roberts, Fulton, Lowe, Cullen, Dhanda all possible. Smith - NO!!!!! My 5 in order:- 1. Grimes 2. Hourihane if on /otherwise Bidwell 3. Ayew 4...

    Plays his last ever game for Queen of the South this Friday. Wishing him all the best whatever his future holds. Are we allowed to sign him for the play offs...

    9 Games left

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51685135 Last season was suspended when we had 9 games left following a draw with WBA. We were in 11th place on 53 points, 3 off the playoffs. Interestingly all the top 6 positions were on fewer points than the current teams in promotion and play off...

    Paul Canonville Critically ill.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55916730 Wishing him all the best, hope he pulls through. Endured horrendous abuse from his own fans and his own team mates. Pat Nevin described how a "Chelsea legend" used to racially abuse him. Nevin hasn't named the "legend" but a process of elimination...

    Penalty Takers?

    It looks like Wednesday could well be another tight game and penalties are a distinct possibility. It depends who finishes on the pitch of course. There are the obvious ones like Grimes and Ayew, likely ones Gallagher, Brewster then my leftfield choice - Mulder. Could Cooper actually have been...

    Mini/Junior Football return to Training

    Like most Mini/junior coaches and parents I'm desperate to return to training. The FAW protocols for phase 1 seem like a lot of hoops to jump though, risk assessment's, non contact, social distancing, restricted numbers, disclaimers, consent forms etc etc. what are you coaches out there doing...

    Mark Bowen & Reading

    I'm not sure whether the correct word is credit, respect or something else for Reading last night, but they deserve a mention for continuing to try and attack and play football throughout the 2nd half. It would have been easy for them, particularly at 1-1 to just shut up shop, waste time and...

    South Wales derby Final?

    Seeing lots of comments in media and on social media that it would be great if it was a Swansea v Cardiff final. I cannot believe any Swans or Cardiff fan would want that.

    The Spirit of '88

    The first ever season of play offs in the football league. Final day of regular season, we had to win, somebody else had to lose (cant remember who?) it happened and we were in the play offs. Played a team from the division above. We ground out a win over Rotherham to send them down. Then...
