We are extremely disappointed at the decision made by an independent regulatory commission to sanction Milutin Osmajić and impose a nine-match suspension, following an incident which took place in a league fixture against Burnley on 15th February 2025.

We note that the outcome was determined on the 'Balance of Probabilities' rather than one that is 'Beyond Reasonable Doubt'.

We also note that The FA determined that this decision offers no moral judgement, was not premeditated nor any comment about his general character.

Milutin has always pleaded his innocence of the charge and continues to do so. We continue to be fully supportive of our player.

We are proud of our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion policies and practices, and we reaffirm our opposition to all forms of discrimination.

Sets a dangerous precedent, not commenting on a scale of annoyance of 1-10, I'm at 19

During the Age of Sail, the office of the First Lord of the Admiralty in Whitehall had mounted on its wall a large dial geared to a weathervane on the building's roof, which allowed the First Lord to see at a glance, without leaving his desk, which way the wind was currently blowing (a device which, though rendered obsolete for naval purposes by steam power, continues to prove useful to this day in most other Whitehall offices). I only mention this because in my more fanciful moments, I like to imagine the oak-panelled walls of Lancaster Gate - if not the headquarters of Ladbrokes or Paddy Power - festooned with rows of barometers, ninety-two in total, which display the managerial pressure at every club from Brunton Park to the Amex. Thus, any employee walking the halls en route to file away the VAR footage of the Kennedy assassination (on-field verdict upheld) or pay the last installment of the bribe to Tofik Bakhramov, can instantly see the few needles riding as high as HANDS OFF! HE'S OURS, the larger number holding steady at KEEP THE FAITH, the multitudes hovering around QUESTIONS TO ANSWER, and the luckless few sinking inexorably down to IN THE NAME OF GOD, GO.

And Albion's barometer? Well, it's not going in the direction Ryan Mason would like it to, as our winless run extends to four and a goalless point at home to Wednesday is the best result of the bunch. The needle might not be in freefall yet, but frankly, it's only ninety minutes away.

Oxford are Saturday's visitors, and while last weekend demonstrated all too vividly why we can't simply expect to put relegation-battling teams to the sword even on home soil, winning is simply a necessity this time round, as narrowly or unconvincingly as it may come. With local derbies coming hot on the heels of the international break, there may not be many more chances for Mason to turn the ship around if this one goes begging.

[align=center]No one likes them but they don't care


The Old Den, never visited it, mores the pity really, howevere it's replacement isn't bad, although being lumbered with a 12.30 kick off is more than a piss take by the league, the coach leaves at 5.30 am, luckily the Avanti West Coast leaves at 8am, barring, any landslips. Lord Mayor's show tomorrow as well, so London likely to be rammed.

MANAGER

Alexander Francis Neil (born 9 June 1981)[2] is a Scottish professional football manager and former player who played as a midfielder. He is currently head coach of EFL Championship club Millwall.

Neil began his professional career at Airdrieonians in 2000, playing half a season in the Scottish Football League First Division before moving to Barnsley. He played 142 games across all competitions in his four-year spell at Barnsley, and then signed for Mansfield Town on a free transfer. After a season at Mansfield, he returned to Scotland's First Division with Hamilton Academical, featuring in 246 matches across a decade and winning promotion to the Scottish Premier League in 2008.

He became Hamilton's player-manager in 2013 and led them to promotion to the Scottish Premiership in 2014. In January 2015 he was appointed manager of Norwich City, as the second youngest manager in the Football League at the time. Neil guided Norwich to promotion to the Premier League, by winning the 2015 Football League Championship play-off final. Norwich suffered relegation the following season, and in March 2017, Neil was sacked. He was appointed Preston North End's manager on 4 July 2017 and led the team to seventh place in the 2017–18 Championship. On 11 February 2022 Neil was appointed manager of Sunderland. They were promoted from League One to the Championship, winning 2–0 in the play-off final. He left later that year to become the manager of Stoke City.

Alex was a decent manager although did end up boring me to death with style of play, still lives up here



FORM GUIDE



LIONS 13 PNE 11

Both sides in decent nick although they got bang at Brum

New and netters



South Bermondsey's history is shaped by its industrial past, including early railway viaducts built in the 1830s and a later role as a center for leatherworking and food processing, earning it nicknames like "Biscuit Town". The area has undergone significant transformation, moving from an agricultural landscape in the 1840s to an industrial hub by the late 19th century, followed by residential and commercial redevelopment in the latter half of the 20th century. Today, the area continues to evolve, with a focus on maintaining its industrial character while also accommodating new uses.

LAST MATCH



We got a point but probably should have had all three. We were nearly behind after 1 minute but Sargent shot wide. A few minutes later we were ahead, Bannan firing in from 30 yards. Bannan nearly made it 2 a few minutes later but the keeper saved. We had a couple of other chances but we went in 1-0 at the break. Onto the 2nd half and Ingelsson had a shot saved and then we had a great chance to make it 2 but Lowe somehow fired wide. Norwich then went down the other end and and Sargent fed Kvistgaarden who tapped into a empty net. Both sides had chances to win it but it was Horvath who saved the day with a good stop in injury time.

THE MATCH



Next up and we travel south to take on Southampton before the next international break. The Saints have made a poor start to the season and currently lie in 19th place in the Championship, but they did win there last match 1-2 at QPR after going 5 without a win. Will Still had been in charge but was sacked a few days ago. The Saints should be doing much better than they are with the squad they have. If they can get the right appointment, you would expect them to move up the table and maybe have a shot at the playoffs. There leading scorer so far this season is Adam Armstrong, who has 4 goals and 1 assist.

KATE BECKINSALE TRIBUTE PIC

i`m in no way calling for the manager to go:
but as we all know things have taken a turn for the worst
from being promotion contenders we are now looking over our shoulders at the bottom of the table.

yes the manager will get the brunt of the flak

is he out of his depth?

been supporting this lot since i was 10yrs old
seen good times
and the bad

i am the eternal optimist that we can still salvage something from this season

is our manager skating (already) on thin ice?
maybe he is

if he is dismissed
who will be next?

we have so called strikers that suddenly forget where the goal is
a midfield that have no idea how to pass the ball

as i said i`m optimistic we can salvage this season

we aint going to get promoted
and i sure we wont go down....but as the saying goes...."Football....It`s A Funny Old Game"

Group A

Twerton 15
Minizin 11
BaggieVicar 9
Zimnan 8
Stairs 5
A.A.A. 5
B.B.B. 2
BaggieOne -2

Not a great week in Group A, just 53 points, the third lowest of the season. The Bonus again caused major problems with just one player scoring positive points on it!! Twerton keep us his good form in top spot with 15 points, he was one of two players to score a max on the Gamball and backed that up with another CS. Minizin was the only player to get a CR on the Gamball and he is second on 11 points. BaggieVicar was the other player to get a correct result on the Gamball but like Minizin wasn't able to add much to back it up.

Zinman finished on 8 points, he was the only player to get a CR on the Bonus. Stairs and AAA ended joint 5th with 5 points with BBB on 2 just behind them. BaggieOne, the long time leader sees his poor form continue this week and he posted his lowest score of the season with -2.

126 Minizin
125 Stairs
118 BaggieOne
108 Twerton
90 A.A.A.
90 BaggieVicar
77 B.B.B.
61 Zinman

Since Week 3 Baggie One has led the table with as much as a 22 point lead, but this weeks negative score for him sees him drop to third place after being overtaken by both Minizin, the new leader and Stairs in 2nd spot. Twerton is slowly catching up to the top 3 and all of them are over 100 points. AAA and BaggieVicar share 5th place with 90 points. BBB drops further back with another poor week and now has Zinman only 16 points behind him.

Cheers

Group B

4eva 16
Themaclad 10
Salop 8
Snooty 7
Lady Jane 2
SCO 2
Derby 1
Amelia 1

A very strange week for Group B. There can't be many weeks in the history of this competition when 2 players maxed out on the gamball but failed to reach double figures. It was also the second lowest points total of the season, but one player managed to equal his best score. Three games produced negative totals with the gamball just pipping the Bolton win to record the highest total of points.

4eva claims top spot by some distance with the weekend's stand out performance. He had the highest number of correct reults - 6, the highest number of correct scores - 2, and also scored on the gamball. Themaclad had exactly half the number of correct scores/results but his 1 correct score was his bonus which helped him into 2nd place with 10 points.

Salop and Snooty both collected 8 points from the gamball.......and not a lot else! Salop got one other correct result and a scoreball to compensate for his missed bonus, while Snooty came in with just 1 other correct result to leave him with minus 1 point from the other 9 fixtures.

A week to forget for the rest. Lady Jane has now scored 31 points from the last 4 weeks - 28 of them were in week 9! Just 2 correct predictions from her (1 perfect) and a blow out on all balls. She's joined on just 2 points by SCO - he only got 1 preduiction correct but was rescued from a negative score by it being his bonus ball. Derby scored on just 2 games and missed out on the main balls - he was able to stay in positive territory thanks to his scoreball. Amelia got 4 points from the gamball and nothing else to leave her with Derby on just 1 point for the week.

104 4eva
93 SCO
91 Snooty
79 Lady Jane
75 Themaclad
68 Derby
67 Amelia
67 Salop

A change at the top with 4eva passing SCO and becoming the first player to reach 100 points. Snooty is closing in on SCO while The maclad's return sees him climb 2 places to 5th. At the bottom Salop has caught Amelia with both of them just a point behind Derby.

Salop remains the only player yet to top any week's table, a feat 4eva has now achieved 4 times. SCO's correct bonus sees him join Snooty as the only players with positive totals from that ball.

Hi Everyone

thegiftandtreatcompany

All the support would be appreciated

Come on you baggies!

Cheers Guys!

Just read Becham's just been knighted. What a farce!!!
Let's just cancel the Honours System altogether. It wouldn't be rude to the great people who will actually deserve to be honoured as they will only compare themselves to plonkers like Beckham.

It was only a year or so ago that he was recorded as calling those who doled out the honours as "c***s" for not awarding him a knighthood, as I recall.

LAST MATCH



We stopped the run of 4 consecutive defeats by grabbing a deserved point at the Hawthorns. The Baggies started the better and forced Horvath into a couple of early saves. Ugbo was inches away from a goal as he just failed to get a foot on a cross. Onto the 2nd half and after a start to the second half, Ugbo could have punished slack play in the Albion midfield on a quick break but his shot was easily saved by the keeper. Palmer then fired over from a long throw. Iorfa nearly put through his own net only for Horvath to save. Grant had a couple of late efforts for the Baggies but we managed to hold on for a point

THE MATCH



Next up and Norwich head north to Hillsborough. Norwich are in terrible form, currently in 23rd position in the league, no wins in 9 games and losing there last 6 games, there last win coming at the end of August. You would think that there would be enough quality in the squad for Norwich to get out of there current predicament. There current manager is Liam Manning, who took over in June of this year, but having lost his last 6 games, his job must be in serious jeopardy. There leading scorer this season is Josh Sargent with 5 goals and 1 assist.
