Under 18s fixtures update
(Preview)
Just to repeat what I've posted as news on the website- Mike O'Brien has decided that all teams should play each other once, before any more reverse fixtures are played. This could mean some blank week-ends- nothing new in that!!

Adebayor sending-off
(Preview)
Surely the ref got this one wrong. And, according to Andy Gray, the ref sent him off because of someone else's tackle (Arca)- I didn't see any resemblance at all in those two challenges. Why is Howard Webb getting all these big games- it's a bit of a slur on the rest of the Premiership refs. I'm not entirel...

Penrith v Whitley Bay FA Vase
(Preview)
The game is due to be played tomorrow at Southend Road KO 7.30, one or two ex Carlisle City players in the Penrith squad ("Wilbo", "Matty" and "Joseph David"), good luck to them I hope they all play a part and get a result. Whitley Bay got to the semi final last year and fr...

City v Wallington
(Preview)
From all accounts their pitch is poor and we have had 2 games cancelled there already. Perhaps we should ask the league at the next AGM to adopt a rule similar to our own County Cup where you get 2 strikes then you have to play at the opposition's ground. What do people think?

Christmas Party for Senior teams
(Preview)
At the moment the Alliance team do not have a fixture for Saturday 20th and the County team are at home to Bransty so it would seem an appropriate date to choose as our Xmas night out. So, I will organise it for that date in the Howard from 4.00pm (about when the County team will arrive after their game - weat...

Letting teams score
(Preview)
Apparently, Chesterfield allowed Droylsden to score a goal in their FA cup tie the other night. Seemingly, Chesterfield had scored following a throw-in given to them after Droylsden played the ball out, to allow treatment for a player. The Chesterfield boss then told his players to let a goal in, wh...

Matty Green passing his test
(Preview)
Just want to say how pleased I am that Matty has passed his test, especially as he gave me a lift home after picking me up on stanwix bank in the early hours of saturday morning after I had been on an all dayer with Mr Pilkington (who incidentally informed me that he is going to help out playing with the Count...

Winter Break
(Preview)
Whilst we do not have a planned winter break most teams at our level have an enforced one because of the weather. I for one am in favour of a planned winter break, it saves all the hassle of trying to organise a team, pitch, bus etc.. when the chances of playing are slim. Why not start earlier, say 01st Aug,...

Frozen artificial pitches
(Preview)
Just reading elsewhere on t'internet that Durham City's match the other night was postponed just before kick-off. They have a state-of-the-art 3G pitch but even this did not beat the freezing conditions. Even 3G gets frozen over seemingly.

Careless hands
(Preview)
I'm told that Driver has his hand in plaster the puff, Hols said one of his isotonic sports drinks that the pro's drink fell out of his toilet bag on to it. Just do what Bello does and have 4 cans before the game it works for him.

City under 9s
(Preview)
Sunday's under 9s game v High Hesket must be one of the best of the season for drama. It finished 7-5 to City, but was like a basketball game most of the time, with goals at either end. The pic. attached illustrates some of the players' feelings!

Are we behind the rest of the world?
(Preview)
Trevor Brooking, that's him pictured, reckons this country is not developing its young players properly. He is particularly concerned about 5-11 year olds and 11s-16s. Is he right? What should we do differently?

UK Olympics football team
(Preview)
I see in the press that David Cameron is suggesting a Home Nations play-off to decide who should play in the Olympics for the UK. If it was to be a genuine UK team, who would you pick? Surely there would be no Scots in there- maybe a goalkeeper for comedy value? :) Presumably Rooney and Gerrard for starters...

Aspatria cup tie
(Preview)
It looks as if Saturday's County cup tie should be a very good game. Aspatria have a cracking record so far, winning every game apart from a draw with ****ermouth. It will be interesting to see how the top County League standard compares with that in the Alliance.
