THE LAST MATCH
Dreadful, pathetic, woeful, disappointing, wasteful etc etc etc!! Not really anything positive to say about the whole game except for the fact it must have shown DC that we are definitely lacking in a number of places, including management and he will need to fix these before the summer!! Of course I cannot help but think he probably already knows that anyway and is just waiting a respectful amount of time before changing things!! For those wishing to relive it, here is the video, to spare us its the short version!!
THE MATCH - SAT 21ST MARCH 2015 15.00 GMT
Local derby this weekend away at Toytown!! Down the years I have never really seen them as rivals mainly because we haven't played them much but aside from the Blunts this is the closest team to us so I suppose now they are fighting above their weight the rivalry will be there!! Of course, this is there cup final, by all accounts they do not like us, so this is the one they want to win and that desire is often the difference between teams in a derby game!! SG needs to get us up for this one somehow, and from the start of the first half rather than the second!! The ticket allocation they gave us also doesn't mean we will have the usual size of support for this one but I am sure the backing will be there all the same, lets hope the team responds to that!!
This will only be the 33rd meeting between us with none before 1934, no matches in the 1940s or 1990s and only a few in the 60s or 80s. Overall our record is W15, D6, L11, so not great when you consider the gulf between the size of the two teams. One thing worth pointing out though is that we usually play them when we are one a downward trend in our history, predominantly in the pub league. Our last match at this level prior to this season was 1983!! Of our last 10 games against them we have W3 D2 L5, so not great and again shows that they probably get up for this fixture more than we do!!! Earlier this season the fixture at S6 was a 0-0 bore draw, so this one has to be better than that.
CLASSIC MATCH
The words Rotherham and classic don't really go together but I have found a video of the last time we won at their place (although it was at Millmoor not NY Stadium) in a Carling Cup tie in 2007. A game we went 1-0 down in before coming back to win 3-1 with goals from Whelan, Burton and Small. COG played for them that night as well.
POTENTIAL LIVE STREAMING SITES
Each game I will post the links to the websites anyone mentions on the thread. That way its easier to find the potential threads rather than scrolling through all the posts on the thread to find the ones where a link is posted. Lets see how ths works.
Cricfree Football - stole this one from Larry on the Rangers board.
http://pilkalive.weebly.com - this one was mentioned on the WBA forum.

They are not on great form and still in danger of relegation, so this is a far more crucial game for them!!

Southey had a good result in midweek picking up 2 to move into second place. Usual score and scorer for this one, no copying and no defeats this week, we have to be positive , predictions do allow copying and as an extra bonus I would like us to predict the time of the first booking, no copying!! As with the last game it will be the minute the booking occurs according to the BBC, so if 54mins 23 secs, 54 will win it, clear Washington/Thurny?? No booking is an option on a first come first served basis!! In the even no one is spot on I will award the to the nearest prediction or predictions.
Sorry for all the rules but it would appear that they need to be made completely clear every game!!!
I was going to ask for predictions of how many pies Evans will eat during the game but I understand that usually he eats them all before the match starts anyway!!!!

Well Maddix said it wasn't easy, but it appeared to be on Tuesday but I think these ones are a bit harder!! for getting 4 results right and for getting all 5 correct.
THE MUPPET LEAGUE
I think its fair to say that we are reaching the point where SG will finally be honoured with the "Lifetime in the Muppet League" award!!!
So SG, you are still a f ucking Muppet!!!!!
Time for DJ to be brought back in here for this game, its not as if he has anything else to do anyway!!
Wereham - I might defend most things but really you couldn't read the post 4 posts before yours!!!
Imre - I can see I need to get you a permanent place in here, copied not only the score and scorer but the booking time as well!!!
Bottesford - wow its getting busy in here!!!
All others are out on bail!!
THE FISH PIC
It would appear our new owner is not only a rich guy but treats his employees well!! Here is a photo of hard working fisherwomen taking a well earned break!!
