Gigolo-Aunt Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 About to start on Sky Sports 1. Local derby in some amazing cup type thing. This could be the night when the fans take hold of football and take it back - breaking the monopoly at the top of the Premier League. I'm just surprised that its not pay per view.

Lovecraft Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I have been told that they will be using 2 balls for this game in a new experiment to make the lower leagues more interesting. If one team keeps the ball for more than 3 mins without the other team touching it, another ball is given to their keeper to start another attack.

davesmith Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Very disrespectful to the tournament, opposition and 1600 travelling fans.

andy-y Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Not watching this game. What are Wednesday trying to achieve by using all their subs? you need to start with a minimum of 6 recognised first team players, they took the keeper off in the first min then two other youngsters came on in the 17th min, Megson and all the bench were just laughing!

So the idea is to stop the 'bigger' teams like Wednesday devaluating the Johnstones cup in much the same way as maybe Arsenal or Man Utd would the Carling Cup?

I actually think he's a gifted coach at his best but that's not enough Yeah i dont think hes very media savvy. That may come with experience though. To be fair to him Pilkington leaving and Kilbane not coming back has left them short. They have managed to get a couple of late results this term so far. Probably just as well for Clark. If they are off the pace at New Year clubs will no doubt be snooping around Rhodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
