When are International Football Associations going to be made to pay compensation to a club, when its players get injured on international duty.

Sept 2021 O'Shea gets his ankle broken playing for the ROI, we lose him until the following January. This season he does not miss a minute for us, goes away with the R.O.I and now will miss the rest of the season with an injury. If that was not bad enough it also looks like Molumby is also going to be missing for at least 4 weeks of the run in, also playing for the R.O.I. How can it be right that the relevant I.F.A. does not even have to play their wages unless the match was in the finals of a major international tournament (qualifiers do not count).

We faced an uphill battle with the players we had fit, I do hope not, but I fear to lose two such influential players, may make it one hill to far and what will our potential losses be?

While I am sure it is a great honour for players to pull on their national shirt, their first loyalty has to be to the people who pay their wages, week in, week out. Clubs gain absolutely nothing by having their players, playing for their nations. in fact it is all negative not only do they risk losing them to injury and still have to pay their wages, but it also puts those players on the radar of other clubs.

LAST MATCH



Well we managed to rescue a point but we needed all 3. Cheltenham handled the wet conditions better and Stockdale had to make several saves to keep us level. Vaulks had our best chance just on halftime but there goalie saved it. Onto the second and Cheltenham took the lead after another Iorfa error and Keena fired home. It was soon 2-0 when Stockdale parried and May slotted home. We got back into the match when sub Flint headed home a Bazza FK. We grabbed a point when Smith crossed and Geegory fired home from close range. We could have won it but Adeniran fired over and then Vaullks hit the post with the last kick of the match.

THE MATCH



After 3 straight away games, we return to Hillsborough to take on Lincoln. Lincoln seem to be safe for another season, 10 points above the relegation zone with a handful of games left. Lincoln have drawn too many games this season, 18 so far, if they had won half of those they would be contending for a playoff spot. Ben House is there leading scorer with 9 goals. They are managed by Mark Kennedy who took over a year ago.

MANAGER

Michael Joseph McCarthy (born 7 February 1959) is a professional football manager, pundit, and former player. He is currently the head coach of Blackpool.

McCarthy began his playing career at Barnsley in 1977, and he later had spells at Manchester City, Celtic, Lyon, and finally Millwall, retiring in 1992. Born and raised in England, he represented the Republic of Ireland, for whom he earned 57 caps and played at UEFA Euro 1988 and the 1990 FIFA World Cup.

McCarthy managed Millwall and then the Republic of Ireland. He guided the country to the knockout stage of the last 16 of the 2002 FIFA World Cup. He later managed Sunderland, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Ipswich Town. McCarthy began a second tenure as manager of the Republic of Ireland national team in November 2018, leaving after having guided the team to a UEFA Euro 2020 playoff place. He then had brief spells at Cypriot club APOEL and Cardiff City. He has also been a television pundit and commentator, including for the BBC and Virgin Media Television.

In The Dressing Room

Manager Ryan Lowe confirmed in his pre-match press conference that Greg Cunningham will miss the remainder of the season with a hamstring injury.

Liam Lindsay, who has been absent in recent weeks, is back in full training and will be in contention to feature, while striker Ched Evans will be assessed ahead of the game.

All players who were away on international duty during the past fortnight have returned to Euxton unscathed.

A Look At Our Visitors


Mick McCarthy’s side arrive at Deepdale in need of points if they’re to avoid the drop come May, as they currently sit four points below the dotted line.

The season started with former PNE man Michael Appleton in charge and, after his departure in the middle of January, the experienced McCarthy came in and has since overseen two wins.

With teams at either end of the division still to come in the Seasiders’ end of season run-in, there could be plenty of ups and downs between now and 8th May.

Going Head To Head


Games played: 97
PNE wins: 46
Draws: 19
Blackpool wins: 32
Last PNE victory: PNE 1-0 Blackpool, 5th April 2022

One To Watch


One man the Tangerines will be looking towards to help them escape the threat of relegation is forward Jerry Yates.

The 26-year-old striker has 12 goals to his name in all competitions so far this season – including the two which he scored in the reverse fixture against North End back in October.

As the club’s main source of goals, Yates will be desperate to add more to his tally before the end of the campaign, especially given the ACL injury which Gary Madine suffered before the international break.

Match Officials


Experienced Premier League official Andre Marriner will be taking charge of Saturday’s Lancashire derby.

It will be the first time he has refereed a PNE match since January 2021, when North End lost 1-0 on the road against Sheffield Wednesday.

So far this season, Marriner has shown 57 yellow cards and two reds in his 17 matches.

MACS VIEW

The run in until the end of the season and first up those odd people who live on the coast at the other end of the M55 and bizarrely you can include me in that.
Fighting against the drop they get to play a the palatial palace that is Deepdale, the joy of a dinner time kick off for the delight of the nation on Sky.
Hard to call this one heaven knows who'll turn up the Blackpool who won 6-1 then promptly lost the next game 4-1 or the free flowing passing North End side which has yet to make an appearance this season, question is how many times will Mr Fantastic say fantastic

If you want expensive football on the tellybox in the future, vote DAZN

https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/foo...t-26589243

My mates in the land of the Great White North no longer watch "proper football", well not legally, as it's far too expensive. When it used to be part of the already really expensive cable/interweb/phone/mobile packages that you typically already paid for you picked from the two or three Championship or if your really didn't like football, Prima Donna League games they showed. Then DAZN took over the "franchise" for EFL football. Er, what Shay Segev calls, securing the rights. He doesn't mention that they um, decided to charge a relative fortune to er, watch "those rights".

They now want to overrule the Saturday afternoon "blackout" over here.

Coming soon, to an empty stadium near you.

These Championships will take place at the TD Place Arena in Ottawa, Canada from Saturday 1 to Sunday 9 April. Ottawa was originally scheduled to host the championship in 2021, but due to the pandemic, the event was moved inside the Calgary bubble. Ottawa's famous celebrities include actors Lorne Green and Dan Aykroyd plus singers Paul Anka and Alanis Morrisette.

The competition follows the format used by the Womens' Championship last week. Qualification games will take place on Saturday 8 April at 7pm (UK time) followed by the Semi-finals at 12 midnight. The Bronze medal game and then the Gold medal final will be staged on Sunday 9 April, at 4pm and at 9pm, respectively.

Scotland, Switzerland, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Türkiye, Czech Republic and Germany, in qualification order, secured their World Championship spots with Canada, Korea, United States, Japan and New Zealand qualifying from the Pan Continental Championships. From the plethora of strong teams, I would expect that Canada, Italy, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland and United States will be in the top 6 teams to progress to the later stages. A word of warning though, just about every other team has the chance to upset the odds and knock out a more fancied team.

The Scots team are the usual suspects - Bruce Mouat (Skip), Grant Hardie (Vice-Skip), Bobby Lammie (2nd), Hammy McMillan (Lead) and Kyle Waddell (Alternate). They won Silver at these Championships in 2021 and at the 2022 Winter Olympics. The strong favourites must be the Sweden team, skipped by Niklas Edin, who are the current World and Olympic Champions.

Huddersfield Town v Middlesbrough
The Sky Bet Championship
Saturday April 1st - 15:00 ko
at the John Smith's Stadium

Head to Head



Boro lead the head to head with 44 wins to Huddersfield's 34, with 21 draws.

This is the 7th season that the two clubs have spent in the Championship together since Huddersfield were promoted in 2012, in which time we've both had spells in the Premier League, but not at the same time. Last season, the Terriers got their first ever win at the Riverside when they won 2-0 with goals from Naby Sarr and ex Boro striker Jordan Rhodes. Boro won at the John Smith's though earlier in the season when Duncan Watmore scored twice in a 2-1 win.

There haven't been any top flight fixtures between the two clubs since 1953/54 and the last match at that level finished with Huddersfield winning 3-0 at Ayresome Park in February 1954, with goals from Vic Metcalfe, Gerry Burrell and Jimmy Glazzard.

Before that though, in 1950 the Boro had a magnificent 8-0 win at Ayresome Park, which at the time was Huddersfield's record defeat. Wilf Mannion and Alex McRae both scored hat tricks in that one with Johnny Spuhler and Geoff Walker adding the others.
