Grass roots Footie 2016/17 season

[magpie73]

never seen anything like in all my days watching football how a referee can give a penalty the penalty is scored then disallowed then a free kick given to the other team I think keith stroud will have a lot of explaining to do if you didn't know better you would of thought he had money on the game the way he preformed

[kulsungkham]

Instead of making Newcastle retake the penalty due to encroachment by a Newcastle player, he awarded an indirect freekick to Burton which was the wrong decision. If the score had remained 0 - 0 they may have had to come back and do it all again from the time of the penalty; just like the England under 19 women's team did against Norway in 2015, however. That was in the 96th minute.

Newcastle United 1-0 Burton Albion

Newcastle go back top by a point & Huddersfield also have an easy home win against Norwich to go back third. With 6 games now to go the top 2 are 9 points ahead & look like they will gain promotion unless something drastic happens.
The play off places look like 5 teams chasing the 4 spots - Huddersfield, Reading, Leeds, Sheff Wed & Fulham with maybe Preston having an outside edge. However, again, the real battle for a spot should be between the last 3 mentioned as Leeds are currently 5 points above Fulham.

Preston at Leeds tomorrow. A win for them would bring them into the mix. Ex Whites manager, Simon Grayson will be rubbing his hands - his team playing really well at the moment and Leeds looking nervy.

Confident???

Queens Park Rangers 1-2 Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton go back top by 2 points but have played 1 more than second placed Newcaste. They have played 2 more than third placed Huddersfield but are now 12 points above them with only 5 more games for Brighton to play.
This was their 3rd. victory in just 6 days, but their first for 60 years at the Loftus Road ground.
All that being said it was more a game for the fans to enjoy than any football enthusiasts who happened to be in the crowd. At tis stage of the season it is all about keeping the points rolling in though rather than anything else..

The Preston loss, coupled with the Wednesday win must all but put an end to Preston's hopes of a play off place. Fulham keep up the pressure on Wednesday for the final spot with a win of their own but after suffering a loss of form for the past few weeks it was a significant home win for Sheffield again Newcastle. With only 5 left to play though Newcastle still remain 10 points ahead of 3rd. placed Huddersfield.

A Shrewsbury win sees Vale back into the drop off zone, but it is all mighty tight down there with 4/5 teams battling to keep out of the 2 relegation places & only separated by a couple of points.
A much needed win by the Iron to remain in play off contention. It still looks probable that Bolton (7 points ahead with 4 to play) will still gain the second automatic spot.

Hard fought point for Town as they battle back, having been reduced to 10 men, for a point. Newport win to put the pressure back on those immediately above the drop zone though, with Cheltenham now only 4 points away from danger with 5 to play.

Lincoln remain top on goal difference but second placed Tranmere make a huge dent in that advantage with a 9 nil home thrashing of Solihull. Rovers do all they can & remain a distant 3rd. Macclesfield's hopes are all but over as they have a man sent off while ahead & suffer a damaging home loss to also play off hopefuls, Dagenham.

From the Urban Dictionary:

"iron hoof

Cockney rhyming slang for poof (homosexual). Typically as with most rhyming slang only the first word is used in conversation."

Seeing you in a whole new light DM. Enjoy your party but don't know why Gordon Ramsey will be there - as you say he is a Cunny fan.

Sorry I haven't posted for a while, I've been well. I celebrated the return to form of the mighty whites with a beer or 3. Hopefully it's full steam ahead for the rest of the season.
Big game coming up next Friday. LUFC at the Toon. 3 points for the mighty whites, [-o< I can feel it in my water.
The rumour .... it is true I have adopted Nongbua Pitchaya FC as my second team, and yes people do go to watch them.
Yesterday saw a crowd of almost 2,500 for the visit of PPT Rayong. Which for the size of the town is a higher percentage than go to watch UDFC. The shirts ..... also true, I don't know where you get your information, DM.
The NPFC farang fanclub shirt. If you ask me nicely, I may post some pics.

A 10 men Lincoln City (for 15 minutes) beat a 10 men Chester (for about 15 seconds) to go top of the table by 3 points with a game in hand. They will be grateful to Forest Green who trimmed the wings of their nearest rival, Tranmere, to enable that.
Macclesfield strolled to an easy victory but still need to find 6 points on their promotional play off rivals with 5 games to play. But all they can do is remain putting in performances like this & hope that others fail..

[Adhoc]

EFL to use goal line technology from next season in the Championship.
Will also be used in this season's play offs.

[BobHelm]

Newcastle United 1-1 Leeds United
Milton Keynes Dons 0-1 Scunthorpe United
Port Vale 0-3 Sheffield United
Crawley Town 0-0 Cheltenham Town
Forest Green Rovers 2-0 Chester
Woking 1-0 Macclesfield Town

Not unsurprisingly the top of the table North East battle ended in a draw. With Brighton winning, they sit 4 points clear at the top. Huddersfield have put a 4 point gap between themselves in 3rd. & the chasing promotion playoff contenders. The Leeds draw has rather brought them back to the, now, group of 4 chasing 3 spots.

The Iron give their playoff chances a big boost with 3 points. That looks like being a fight for the 4 spots with 5 teams in contention until the end though.
Vale probably never expected too much against the probable League 1 champions & remain in the last relegation spot. Gillingham have a good home win to rocket them up the table to 17th.

A hard fought for & deserved draw for Town, however Newport pulled off a win & so they are now only 2 points clear of the drop. Hartlepool also managed a draw as it remains mighty tight to see who will accompany Leyton Orient on a league exit.

Lincoln City are drawing away again at the top of the National League. They win & still have a game in hand over nearest rivals Tranmere who can only draw. Rovers look almost certain of a play off place while the Macclesfield loss almost certainly means more of the same for them next year...
