I am organising a bus / glamping to Stornoway for the next 7 weeks

Strictly no phones or Internet allowed
Anyone interested? 🤦🤣

Come back and it's just all confirmed 🤣.

28 Nov 2025 10:57:18
I was with you all the way Chris right up to…. then come back.

Probably bump into a lonely fisherman singing Leeds…. Leeds are falling apart…. again.

Sod the expense I’m in Chris 👍😬.

28 Nov 2025 11:54:25
Booking flights now.

28 Nov 2025 12:02:01
Your barred Brighty pal 🤣

Miles too optimistic.

28 Nov 2025 12:55:20
Where’s stornoway? Near Aus?

{Ed007's Note - Have you ever seen The Wicker Man?}

28 Nov 2025 13:54:04
Back in the day. Loved that dance ooohhh la la. 😝
I will pass on camp chaps. Got a hair appointment.

28 Nov 2025 16:32:26
Dunno whether to laugh or cry! 😂😂😢😢.

28 Nov 2025 20:00:00
I’m already there!

28 Nov 2025 20:25:34
What's ways zee Guinness Cork pal?

28 Nov 2025 23:13:37
Dunno Chris mate but like the Murphy’s I’m not bitter 😉.

Boring boring dyche. 3 games. 3 wins. 9 goals. Now that’s a bounce.

28 Nov 2025 07:38:52
And so they should with the players they’ve got within that squad. I imagine Dyche was secretly punching the air when he was approached for the job.

28 Nov 2025 08:28:40
Do you think our squad is good enough to stay up opti?
Don’t you think a new manager would make any difference?
I’m not sure myself tbh. But what’s your gut on the two questions?

28 Nov 2025 09:34:10
To be fair dyche showed by keeping Burnley competitive for so long in the prem what he can do. Now he has better players he is showing it wasn't a fluke.
In this league you have out think the opposition. You have to try and find that extra 10%.
I think that's were farke is missing out.

Just sending a team out to keep the ball and play possession football is not enough.
Dyches teams have a real drive and a purpose. Now with forest he can be more expansive with his tactics because of the quality of the squad.

28 Nov 2025 16:35:30
Have we misjudged Dyche? Does he select his tactics based solely on the strength of his playing squad, and now he has better at his disposal, is more adventurous?
TBC, I ain't got a clue, as so far, I've refused to watch his teams!

29 Nov 2025 06:55:03
Maybe he adapts tactics to the players he has. How refreshing.

29 Nov 2025 11:57:23
Is that not what I just wrote?

29 Nov 2025 13:40:49
Aimed at opti who vacated last questionnaire. Not you bright if you are referring to me. Time delay can be be a bugger.

27 Nov 2025 22:51:58
On this day 14 years ago we lost the legend that is Gary Speed. Play with pride and commitment Saturday boys and honour the memory of those who have pulled the shirt on.

28 Nov 2025 09:35:56
RIP Gary.
Great footballer.
Great man.

28 Nov 2025 16:08:18
Spot on Vid and Ben.

{Ed025's Note - actually there is a tribute to the great man this Saturday before the Everton v Newcastle game, there is talking bench being installed in his memory at the Hill Dickinson stadium...cheers..

27 Nov 2025 19:48:11
Got to love American owners…on talksport today apparently Sheffield Utd American owners said to their supporters forum how would it go down if they bought Sheffield Wednesday and combined both clubs!

27 Nov 2025 21:39:09
I bet that went down about as well as dressing up as Charlie Chaplin at a holocaust memorial.

27 Nov 2025 23:17:39
Dosent surprise me at all. Clueless. They just don’t get the passion. They don’t understand the fans.

27 Nov 2025 23:27:31
They obviously hadn't read the room.

28 Nov 2025 01:01:50
That'd go down like a pork pie shop in Tehran.

28 Nov 2025 10:46:37
I do miss a good pork pie!

28 Nov 2025 16:36:48
Ditto Canada! I keep meaning to try making my own!

29 Nov 2025 06:55:50
And me bright.

27 Nov 2025 14:01:41
Stach and Long, definite out and probably out for. City

When it rains, it urinates on you.

27 Nov 2025 14:44:49
Sure does Chris, blimey. Thinking if a change is in the air the 49ers ain't going to act til an agreement is in place, so looking at the next week they may see it as pointless before the next 3 games which look like whoever is in charge we don't have much hope.

But after the Pool game on the 6th we don't play Brentford til the 14th which gives a small window for a new man to come in.

27 Nov 2025 15:39:29
both definitely out for Citeh. Longstaff out for 4-6 weeks apparently.

27 Nov 2025 15:53:08
Way things are right now Vid pal, you wouldn't be surprised in slightest if we don't not take a single point till End January/ February, unbelievably tough run of games for a bottom feeder 🤦.

27 Nov 2025 16:12:32
Very fair point Chris, talk about black Friday it looks a black December and new year! I guess with 2 out Saturday DF is forced into changes but the glaringly obvious choice which I expect him to make is Ao and Gruev to replace rather than a change in formation. Please DJ or Willy instead of BA, pretty please but little hope!

27 Nov 2025 16:37:25
Nightmarish! 😞.

27 Nov 2025 19:56:20
Sebastiaan Bornauw is a doubt as he has got some MCL problems and missed the training session yesterday and also today.

But he hasn’t been on a pitch has he? Might need to check out the subs benches if they’re getting injured MCL’s from sitting down.

27 Nov 2025 20:25:20
Maybe a smidge harsh, but the way both have played recently, they won’t be missed. AO should definitely be on the team sheet before either of them. Uber negative. It seems it’s the only way DF can make changes, and it’s when his hand is forced. What about Harry, is there any hope of seeing him getting a chance? Instead of the swashbuckling DCL or BA.

27 Nov 2025 21:51:23
Well C&J, DF simply will not include youth, end of. Look at those who have left. No use, you lose. What's the point in cultivating our future when they just get frustrated and leave, not even a sniff of a bench place or travel in the match day squad.

27 Nov 2025 23:19:37
It’s a blessing that we have picked up a few injuries in midfield. I’m ok with gruev and ao for few games. It’s the only way he will change.

27 Nov 2025 23:29:04
Harry might be in the squad as he didn't play at Gateshead on Tuesday night.

28 Nov 2025 01:00:03
Thankfully BA is fit to play ☹️.

28 Nov 2025 06:39:44
Funny. Heaven forbid he picks up an injury. Farke would still play him even if his leg in plaster so as not to hurt his feelings.

27 Nov 2025 11:10:58
5 mil to pay him off, that should only apply if you're in the top half not the bottom half, Football has no money 🤷🏻‍♂️.

27 Nov 2025 12:34:50
Looks like he has lost the dressing room too. Both gabby and grue slagging him. Only amps spouting rubbish about sticking together.

27 Nov 2025 13:06:57
depends on the terms of the contract doesn't it? One of the reasons the 9ers didn't give an extension. He was only ever caretaker after promotion.

27 Nov 2025 13:42:52
Where are they slagging him off Aus? I want to read/ hear it 😂.

27 Nov 2025 13:50:18
Is that right Alf? Are you saying Farke is now only caretaker?

27 Nov 2025 15:40:37
he was only ever a caretaker after promotion Aus. Unless he did something to convince the board he was the right man but it has gone pretty much as expected so far.

27 Nov 2025 16:40:03
If they expected it why are they dragging heels on replacing him?

27 Nov 2025 23:20:23
How long left on his contract? Would it be 5mill to pay out? What’s he earn?

27 Nov 2025 23:38:16
Because they want to get a manager that they want.

27 Nov 2025 08:28:44
Don't worry Ed I'm sure a win is in the tealeaves with your visit to Elland Road imminent!

27 Nov 2025 05:27:15
Bamford given a run out for 60 mins or so and is “ player of the match” ( per bbc) . Only championship I know - thank goodness we have tha5 120 k a week goal machine Lewin instead.

27 Nov 2025 05:58:52
Are we lucky.

27 Nov 2025 06:32:18
Meant aren’t we lucky.

27 Nov 2025 14:01:29
Farke’s decision, he clearly referenced Pats injury history which was true, but after giving him away.

Namecheck has abductors issues which means he cannot complete a full game (even though he tries bless him)

DCL injury record on a par if not worse that Pats
Where’s that Ballotelli t-shirt, (always us! ) Chris, you’d clean up over Christmas pal.

Reports that Farke happy to let Willy and Piroe go, to raise funds, but keep BA and DCL on how much?

26 Nov 2025 23:04:33
Very quiet from the owners. Are they finally realising that they in the big boy league and that they have embarrassed themselves both as astute business men and able football team owners.
I don’t know who but none of the replacements mentioned float my boat. Any new manager will look at our squad and likely say, if I take the job you need to spend minimum 50-70 mill in January.

Something they ain’t got and even if they had, as proven, the recruitment team is crap. I suppose all we can ask for is a manager with better game management and no favourites. They most likely will have same squad.
Well done Bamford. You all know my feelings about Bamford but I’d have him any day over what we have. Far superior team player.

27 Nov 2025 00:44:16
I feel really upbeat after that post Aus, you're probably spewin’ in yer breakie whilst delivering that post, I’m just thinking what’s the point in living while I’m tucking myself into bed.
Cheers 👍.

27 Nov 2025 01:51:20
Sorry mate. I must admit it gets me down a bit. I know it’s just a game but I had high hopes for the season. Thought it would go reasonably well and we would be 13-14 or something. It’s just all fallen apart at the moment and it’s both annoying and depressing. Can’t feel good about the current situation. Can’t be happy or optimistic atm.

27 Nov 2025 03:46:10
It's yanks giving today/ yesterday/ tomorrow I don't know how their stupid time system works, but sometimes around now.

I doubt the 49ers will be doing much until Monday.

27 Nov 2025 07:04:31
It’s been confirmed, Farke’s going nowhere soon.
Perhaps can now focus on the games instead.

27 Nov 2025 08:13:38
Yep. Looking forward to the game. Will be a corker.

27 Nov 2025 08:24:15
Sorry to point out the obvious but it's only a game mate, shouldn't get you down as much as this there is more to live for.

27 Nov 2025 12:36:54
Can I sue for copyright ed? Alf clearly copied my above post without referencing me. We can settle out of court if you like Alf. Put a splinter in dcl foot and we square.

27 Nov 2025 13:11:32
i put a splinter where DCL couldn't possibly miss it but somehow he did.

27 Nov 2025 23:33:18
Well the owners didn't have to look any further than the recruitment team to pick up a couple of turkey's for Thanksgiving.

28 Nov 2025 04:15:48
And yet it's that recruitment team who will identify and propose the next manager.
