Re: Man of the Match - Northampton (H)
My first impression of that incident was that Eaves had his elbow dangerously high and should have been at least yellow carded by an otherwise competent referee.

Come on chief, no-one needs that in their life on a miserable Monday morning!
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
Mods to take some of the strain off you would be a great idea.
Some of the more neutral calmer posters though...like micra, wendo etc
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
Fair comment. Closing it down would be solving a me problem by making it a you problem, when actually I can just restrict myself from here.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
Full respect Dr regardless of your choice, the old place was overrun by bots and I guess changing technology and the march of time meant we lost the old gasroom a decade ago and keeping this place going and easy to use and mostly better than alternatives requires thanks and respect.
This is however a forum for different views, but also takes, angles , purposes and styles. I don't see why people want to repeat themselves over and over or what they get from being odd or rude but we all interpret things differently, and you aren't above telling someone to fk off when you feel it necessary.
Let's not put this place or us on a pedestal, it's a great resource used by many in different ways, but neither the gasroom or Wycombe Wanderers have ever been perfect. We have employed murderers and fraudsters, and had owners and prospective owners of all types and purpose, thanks it's been mostly saints on the playing and coaching staff more recently. The ownership changes reflect modern football and modern life is rubbish as some twits from Colchester once said. You can only sell once though and we won't be going back into trust ownership unless we go bust again. Also the current ownership is an opportunity we won't see again for some time and a partially homegrown eleven or a dip in the championship where we can actually go along isn't all bad.
The Blooms debate will rage for years , decades maybe unless anything comes to light or changes, but it's not all about slagging Blooms or Dan Rice, I doubt anyone is really pro Rice over Blooms all things being equal but they aren't and he chose to leave. I didn't sense any real animosity either way at the ground on Saturday as people got behind SG and the team
On here things always get weird when people are desperate to change closed minds, sometimes you need to agree to disagree and move on, you also have the power to ban the truly offensive or annoying but The Blooms issue has so many aspects to it that we can't hope to 200% square off that it does probably need it's own space.
There's always been multiple threads on here and mostly people stick to the ones they are interested in and let people rage in others, maybe we could have a bit more moderation, not sure if you are taking that mostly on yourself, and I'm sure nobody would object or go off the rails if you wanted to add some banner adverts.
Anyway do what you feel is best, hand it over or plough on, hopefully see you for a beer at some point.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
well said i think im going to pack it in on here, sorry if im one of the people contributing to it.
Re: Match Day Thread: Northampton
it does seem baffling recruitment while exciting that we are spending money. Its all high risk the only proven player at this level is bradley, hopefully the risks come off, i was very surprised berry wasnt on the bench been playing in league 2 could of had a new signing boost for 20.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
@drcongo - I just hope you do whatever is best for you as a person, whatever that is. You have provided such a service to us, but whatever this site means, it pales into comparison to you having to keep sacrificing in so many ways to keep it up, if it is not right. If it goes down, I just want you to know you have nothing but my thanks and well wishes!
Your posts above resonate with me, as I feel a massive sense of anger and disappointment about the direction of the club, and a perplexity about how casually the mistreatment of a club legend has been processed by many. It is going to be a completely different club in so many ways, and I don't see any (or at least many) that are particularly appealing. I think part of the weirdness lately for me comes from feeling passionate and emotional over a massive cultural and ethical sea change that seems to be met with a shrug and a "things happen" by many others.
Whatever happens, I wish you nothing but the best!
