Pitmen Chat - Independent HTFC Fans Forum

Just in case you've missed the detailed reports in the sports media (not a word - was something else happening last night??) - John Disney was in Champions League action, thus...

Callum Roberts and Nick Rushton also in European action. Not so good...

Alex Melbourne says "another season"...

74 minutes... "this contains strong language, repartee and esprit de corps"



First mention of HTFC on about 10.30... and some very nice things he says too... but it's all good...

Racchi to Brighouse, Nesbitt to Loughborough:

I've just got to the bit where he's joined us.

Tremendous.

Rob had 12 players on contract in the season Lenny joined us then.

That's they way to do it...

Lenny just acknowledging he got two Pitmen players sent off when Nantwich played us the previous season. Hilarious!

As is the part about Macca at Buxton. Such great days...

Sam Grimshaw joined the reformed Macclesfield last month:

You've prompted me to see who else they have in their line-up...



Those Trialist brothers used to be with us too...

Seems we all missed Ross Draper joining Cove Rangers (and switching to part-time), Lee alerted me to it just now (but left it for his secretary to post it... )



https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/sp ... -sign-him/

And he appears to be playing at centre-back...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57825398

And the BBC seem to have ignored the move...

Looks like Dis had a terrific game last night...



All ended in tears though



But they're still in Europe...

Grantham have made a modest acquisition (I'll get me coat; and thanks Lee and Keith for reminding me he is an OP!)

Abadaki gets booted out of Matlock...


Buxton involved in some less-than-honest player dealings?

Shurely shome mishtake

Ashanti Pryce to Sporting Khalsa

Likes a move that lad - already into double figures of clubs at 21 years old

Saddened to hear of the passing of a former Hednesford player from the 80's today, Peter Calvin who played centre half for the Pitmen for two seasons, a fine centre half who played for a few clubs on the West Midlands League circuit.
Thoughts and condolences to his family.

We won’t be seeing Abadaki tomorrow then…

So p*****g off Matlock to get a run-out for Buxton wasn’t really worth it in the end?!

"... a wand of a left foot..."

Be honest, we've all used it!!

I presume that Richard Heath is Richard Heath...??

Bursik back at Stoke, keeping a clean sheet and doing well, apparently, albeit against weak opposition...
