Yes, the Saturday Wycombe & District League folded at the end of the 2018/19 season with just 6 teams competing in a single division. Rewind 50 years when it was known as the Wycombe Combination it was a top league including teams such as Holmer…

No pen for me (or at least less than 50%). It looks like Fred tried to fight through the defender's arm, which was already outstretched, and could not, so he fell over.
Agree...what Alan Hansen used to call "excellent defendin…

I’m missing Phil Catchpole!
He is on 3CR this afternoon commentating on our game if you are in the region. That's who I am listening to.
First, I fully expect that we will be playing in the Championship next year. With 19 games to go, there are plenty of opportunities for us to make up the necessary points.

Where are you getting the latest info from @ChasHarps ? The amount of money that chairman has invested into turning Larges Lane from a decrepit relict from the 1930s into something the town can be proud of makes this news sound surreal. I guess I sh…
Listened to the iFollow audio for about 5 minutes then muted the sound and switched on 3CR for the incomparable @bluntphil 's excellent commentary. It was nicely in sync with iFollow and as has often been the case this season, the commentary was mor…

The current squad is built to play the Ainsworth way.
But doesn't that result in the undoubted talents of the likes of Horgan & McCleary being very much under utilised...and dare I say one of the reasons Fre…

I've slagged off Jermaine Jenas on here before but he has improved massively. When he first started it was hard to make sense of anything he said as every sentence was bookended and punctuated with "to be honest with you".

Do Marlow United still play up there? Not sure if a certain sandwich kingpin still posts on here
FC Titans were playing at Derehams this season until the Aylesbury District League suspended fixtures post the Tier 4 …

I know its game management but fannying about in the corner is not for me.
Agree @Wendoverman - I guess it is seen as a means to an end these days. Glad it wasn't around in '66 otherwise Geoff Hurst would have headed st…

Thought I would revive a music thread by asking a question about a local band who I had never heard of prior to lockdown when I went down a rabbit hole of new music.
They were called 'East Village' and were from the b…

@Shev What were the ref's major errors today? I thought he had a fair game.
If you want to know what the ref did wrong then have a word with @bluntphil 's summariser on 3CR who spent most of the second half screaming in…
You know we've done something right when the opposition report describes Bayo as "A sixteen stone force of nature, almost unplayable and completely brilliant."

Why we are not carrying a set of light blue shorts in our kit repertoire is a much more worrying matter in my opinion. The traditions of the club are it’s very fabric (in this case literally…
The 'Bodger' t-shirt makes me cringe. I guess I should just accept that as the years slip by the term Bodger will more and more represent a daft looking mascot rather than a legendary lethal striker (or a wood craftsman).
I guess I wasn't the only one who stay tuned for the following game, WBA V Forest from 78 I think, with it's WWFC connections. Sir Martin up against Sir Cyrille with the latter coming out on top as well as notching a trademark goal. Goalkeepers with…

It becomes the referee’s decision as to inside or outside the penalty area, although he could consult the assistant. Did he consult on Saturday, I’m not sure?
If an assistant flags for a foul near the edge of the pe…

This is what I can glean from the appalling B and B website which looks like it's from circa 1995.
A little harsh @Mr67 on the impoverished B&B. I rather like the introductory page to the Senior Cup. The picture of the vic…
For the Middlesbrough game I changed ends at half time as I always did in those days. However, it's got me thinking, was there any attempt at segregation? I cannot remember where the 'boro fans were, assuming there were some - I seem to remember a b…
Agree with the first three competitions you quote @DevC - not sure about the last two. Wasn't the Bob Lord a one off game per season? As for the PMFC - that was for the stiffs wasn't it?
The young pups would baulk at the pre-eminence afforded the Berks & Bucks Cup back in the day. Take '74/'75, two consecutive Saturday fixtures in February and then a final on Easter Monday. Happy days.
Thought he was decent last time out against Accrington - mind you giving us a penalty at 0-1 down helps. Looks like he carries too much timber but gets around the park better than some of the trimmer officials.
If I am interpreting their website correctly then unless we have signed up to "reciprocal pricing offered by ITFC" then it's £30 to sit in the away end, blocks V1 and V2 of the Cobbold Stand. Are they in denial about their relegation to League 1 la…

Absolutely. To be honest, I must admit to myself I don't actually know much about the game, particularly compared to some posters on here who provide such well observed analysis. @chairboyscentral being an obvious example, plus …
