On This Day in 1967Frank Smith is helpless as Billy Horton's long-range 65th minute winner sees the Dons beaten at already-relegated Bath City. One of four clubs with a chance of lifting the Southern League title on the season's final day, Wimbledon dominated at Twerton Park. But the travelling fans' hopes were dashed by a referee who turned aside two penalty appeals in the first half and then waved play on after Gerry O'Rourke's header appeared to have crossed the line. Romford's victory at Worcester saw the Essex club emerge as champions.

Could be wrong but I seem to remember Janneh turned up as a bit of a surprise - like we didn’t really need another striker in the squad at the time. Stats show he played 17 times - but I’m gonna assume most of that was bit-part minutes - and scored no goals. 
Weird Giro stage with two riders way out front, both falling off, one going the wrong route and then coming back to win. 
Newton discovered gravity, Columbus - the Americas, Madame Curie - radium & polonium, but I just discovered a whole party bag of Marmite [BLEUGH] crisps in the cupboard. 
As I recall, Janneh only ever seemed to just run around a lot without ever getting close to the ball. 
I remember, he was shockingly bad. 
Was he worse than Jesse Darko? I don’t know why we even loan players like that apart from they’re cheap CW - I can't believe you don't remember Janneh, not for what he did, but more for what he didn't. His shitty-ness is ingrained on my brain as one of the worst Wimbledon players of all time. 
They were talking about the trust and whether AFCW should enshrine fan ownership 
I feel like any club getting spied on at their training ground by opposition coaches or whatever should probably take a good look at their own security and the perimeter of the training ground - it probably happens quite a bit, but the only difference with Leeds in the past and Southampton now is that their spies got caught… Embarrassing on all sides really - Southampton for doing it, and Boro for having poor security or giving out permits to the wrong people… 
If they want to appeal to a younger audience they should cover their mouth with their hand whilst talking to each other. I'm sure they don't talk politics especially as their mouths are visible. Does she say "Your lot were lucky with VAR at the weekend" or does he say "Boy George should have got through in Eurovision last night" or do they just comment on the weather? 
You can't help yourself :-) I wonder if anyone will claim to have lipread the conversation between Starmer and Badenoch as they walked to the House of Lords. Currently experiencing the angst only experienced when you sit in a KwikFit reception area and every time the door opens you think it’s gonna be someone asking you to come and take a look at something. In theory Southampton have two weeks to respond to the charge and though the EFL can hurry them along, they probably have a legal case if not allowed that time. Then you have to appoint a board to examine, let them look at the evidence and come to a conclusion. There is probably also a right to appeal, even up to CAS. So if the EFL hurry it they could face a lawsuit for however much money you get for one year in the Premier League. Yes OI and Boro looked defeated as a team by then. They were similar in the first leg tbh. Heavy legs at this stage of the season whereas Southampton were full of energy. 
What I’m really interested in knowing is if it’s relatively standard practice amongst football clubs and they just happened to be the one* that got caught. 
Casteldine certainly didn't look ready for that sort of game but he is still very young so plenty of time to improve. When Leeds were fined there was no specific rule about spying. It was just frowned upon. The EFL changed the rulebook after that so it just makes what Southampton did even more stupid. I don’t think it’s out the realm of possibility they get booted out the playoffs. 
Yeah the option of putting Boro into the final doesn’t seem to work at all. 
We've sent Paper's out on many a bush spying mission:-) 
Leeds just got fined Trigger, I can't see anything much different happening and I suspect nothing at all will happen till well into June. 
I was laughing spygate off but the more I read about it the more serious (and stupid) it appears. I can’t see Southampton getting booted out of the playoffs but they have taken a reputational hit. I wonder what the end result will be. The only problem arises because so many left leaning, “virtuous”, my shite doesn’t stink types, keep stepping way over that line, while believing that because they use the word genocide etc then everything they do is virtuous and justified. It’s not that fine a line really. What the state of Israel is doing is a political situation that you’d be mad not to view as out of control. Taking that a free go at any individual Jew or Jewish communities in other countries is attacking people for what they are and that’s different. It’s really not difficult and boycotting a music “competition” because the political entity, state, country of Israel is in it isn’t anti semitism.
