Weird.

Ah well, at least the travelling to Evesham won't be so tortuous

Even funnier is the comment "Smith, who is having to operate within a tight budget..."

you have to hand it to the telnesford pr. After the Berlin Wall came down I often wondered what happened to the Communist propaganda machine. He's only got a tight budget because the club stupidly squandered their money on big contracts for players who have subsequently under performed.

Only Fylde have bottomless pockets. They need to stop making excuses for RS as the back four is one he has drafted in since he took the job and he has brought in other players too.

According to my calculations, nine of the Teflon squad who featured at Curzon Ashton were signed by Mr Smith plus Paul McCone and Dwayne Samuels who are injured. Of these eleven, four are on loan from other clubs although they do currently have six players out on loan to other clubs.

Whilst lurking around the Midland Football League website earlier (don't ask - checking something for someone), I noticed you can look at all registered players for each side this season all the way down to Division 3. Curiosity got the better of me so I had a click on each side - some interesting names now plying their trade down at steps 5-8:

Nicky Campbell - Sporting Khalsa
Louis Keenan - Bardon Hill
Luke Edwards - Coleshill Town
Umit Eminoglu - Stourport Swifts
Sam Griffiths - Rocester
Sam Craven - Shepshed Dynamo
Luke Corbett - Bromsgrove Sporting
Gavin Hurren - Lichfield City
Mark 'PC Goal Machine' Bellingham - Paget Rangers
Leadun Dunleavy - Barnt Green Spartak
Dominic Reece (proper late 90s name!) - Barnt Green Spartak
Asa Wright - Hinckley
Michael Swann - Nuneaton Griff
Apologies if said elsewhere before

Other standout names: Dan Starbuck - son of Phil - plays for Shepshed Dyamo. Russell Hoult - the former WBA and Leicester keeper, still playing occasionally for Quorn at the age of 43

Finally, I didn't realise Scott Cooksey is manager of Pelsall Villa (missed that one). He's a little more, erm, how do I put it, 'rotund' than he used to be

And as an extra Brucy bonus, I nearly knocked Lewis Taylor-Boyce over in Birmingham City Centre this lunchtime

Impressive research, well done Chris.

And how is Dominic Reece still playing? He must 106 years old!

And I wouldn't know who Lewis Taylor-Boyce was if I ever knocked into him! I blame old age....

You're not supposed to divulge people's first names when they post under pseudonyms!



I saw LT-B at Tivi last season but it was a good job he was wearing the shirt number as per the team sheet or I wouldn't have known him either

Jon Adams on the mark in a rare Strangers defeat

Assorted other familiar names on that page too...

as long as he isn't on the mark against us

No, that would be Genesis. Happy to run a Bible Quiz on a separate thread, I even beat a team on "Only Connect" in the week on a bible question

Sorry, should have said the first poetic book in the Old Testament.

Keith, we have an idea for a round for the next quiz!

Chris Spencer from Mickleover to Carlton.

Ty Barnett's just scored again on Channel 5, against his former club Posh

.. and Carlisle just equalised when "... a clearance hit Chey Dunkley in the chops..."

They have such a lovely way with words!!

Ashley Williams on the Monk sacking

Funny, those last few paragraphs seem to apply to a lot of clubs who are struggling at the moment....

Ian Robinson and Gary Suchalongname return to management

... and while we're on that site, at least three ex-Pitmen on the mark today

Nice one NPL sending Stour and SCT to Blyth and Whitby on the Saturday before Christmas - mind you there were some more amazing trips today, I'll comment on them later on Sunday...

Just noticed, in looking for their result yesterday (they lost 1-2 to the unstoppable Hereford machine) , that Lye Town list Alex Cowley in their squad

http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/lyetownfc ... 3/the-team

Mind you Danksy is also on that list (made no appearances) so I'm not sure how current it is

From a reliable source:

RTB moved from Stratford to Redditch last week and made his debut on Saturday - away at Stratford.

Redditch, captained by Jamey Osborne, lost 1-0, their first defeat in twelve games.

Is that reliable source The Non League Paper?
