Nah its just my other team had been beaten the last 3 games in a row, so not been too interested in football. But both my teams won today so I'm back on song. Just glad my number 1 point of playing a big keeper is clear to see now so everyone should have educated themselves now. We're all winning at the moment. I’m sure George Elokobi has been hanging on your every post and piece of tactical advice. Clearly has, as everything I said about keeper front has been 100% accurate. Glad you noticed.

Stones live made it sound like we were far the better side. We’re they that poor? Certainly in the first half, we were far better. It was hard to take it was still 0-0. Also, George was booked towards the end of the first half for some reason that wasn't clear. Can someone explain why teams water their pitches just before kick-off and again at half-time? We had so many players (and the referee) slipping over today.

The Folkestone keeper towered above the Haringey keeper today Haringey won with Mr shorty making a brilliant stop in the penalty shoot out where as the jolly green giant got nowhere near any of the 5 penalties so once again I beg to differ.

If you take the best 100 goalkeepers on the planet right now , I'd say more than 95% of those are over 6ft. So you can beg all you like pal. Facts are facts

Like it or lump it, Grovegreenie is right about keepers. A word of advice to nws, stop digging a hole for yourself, it only makes it harder for you to get out. Have a good day !

Another game where we did the job and with quite a few changes again. Should have scored two or three in the first half and Sol should keep taking penalties. Won it well, but other refs might not be so generous. Correct, if soft decision for me. However, Torquay could have won it, but likewise didn't take their chances - two or three look like glaring misses on the highlights. Nice to see Corne and Greenidge back, allowing Bone in midfield. Suspect he could get a useful number of goals from there. Thus far though (and with the pain of last season still strong in the memory) doesn't look like anyone in the NS would pull up many trees in the NL without major investment, especially with last season's promoted clubs also struggling. As for next week, if one or both clubs can find their scoring boots, there might be a few more goals to enjoy - as long as we win, of course.

Thank you Rob, I am happy to say I look like I am wrong about George, and can admit to being wrong. But the GK debate there are many here with wrong ideas about professional keepers, and never hear anything from them about being wrong.

We were not able to get to Torquay for the league game but will be there for the Cup match on Saturday. Looking forward to it - beating Torquay was never going to be easy and it sounds like we deserved the victory - another clean sheet for the defence, and 3 points to celebrate. Please tell me the fans behaved themselves well?

My complaint was about you and several others condemning Harley Earl without seeing him play. So I wasn’t wrong and have nothing to admit.
