The Football.....

A better night at Celtic park, after last week's shambles.
2-0 lead has to be enough against a fairly average looking team.

Weather threatened to be nasty for the run there and back but it wasn't too bad going and dry coming home.
I even remembered to charge my lights.

Have Bury FC survived? Reports of a last minute buy out are being mentioned. This is like when Accy Stanley thought they had a last minute reprieve back in 1962. I fear Bury will end up like Accy and have to reform in a few years,then spend decades climbing up the non leagues to get back.

Little to do with that daffodil Steve Dale though (who bought the club for a pound less than a year ago). The potential sale has been brokered by the local MP James Frith.

Hey Postie! You forgot to mention the usual 'the balls were twice as heavy as they are today and when you headed them they left a mark of the lace up bit on your forehead'

Keep up, Accy!

Postman was a 'keeper!

After 52 years I think Mrs D is a keeper

So, this guy, who openly admits he knows nothing about foootball and specifically Bury FC buys it for one pound. He is surely going to sell it for a massive profit.
How is that allowed ??

I think I said, I'm NOT going to get my hopes up this year.

But, we have started well and WGUAFC

It is a private company, the owners can sell it to who they like.

No Pompey game today- home game postponed on account of clashing with the Victorious festival. Though after contriving to draw with Coventry midweek, they've probably had a few words from Mr Jackett......

Well, there is the fit and proper persons test.

There ought to be more stringent controls regarding who can own a football club (and other sports clubs) and what they plan to do with it. A football/sports club is much more than a private company.

Thursday's Guardian Football Weekly podcast briefly discussed both Bury and Bolton's plight. There was a Frenchman on the show who said there were better safeguards in place in the French league.

I thought he had a great game.
Mind you I'm a Liverpool fan
