@1865ma @Andy_midd84 @NFFCAcademy It's a shame that we don't have the option to drop out like the NL teams do in their cup in protest at the U21s being in theirs. IMO I'd scrap the U21s in both and invite the NL to join up as one tournament. There's not a huge difference between the top of the NL & bottom of L2

[62MAboveTheDock @62MAboveTheDock]

@1865ma @Andy_midd84 @NFFCAcademy It's the entitlement of the big clubs that stinks in this situation. A couple of years back we had to reschedule a league fixture just to satisfy the Man City U21s and their fixture list.

[62MAboveTheDock @62MAboveTheDock]

@1865ma @Andy_midd84 @NFFCAcademy We've not taken it seriously for the exact reason the U21 are in it. The average age of our squad was 17.1 with only 4 players ever playing for the first team, usually as subs coming on, that should tell you everything you need to know (cont)

[62MAboveTheDock @62MAboveTheDock]

@Callum16431389 @MikeyMcMahon And if it was your first team you'd expect the same. The fact we couldn't rearrange it because said kids have a fixture in an even more pointless cup and "Forest didn't want it to be moves" says everything about the state of the competition

[62MAboveTheDock @62MAboveTheDock]

@Callum16431389 @MikeyMcMahon Therefore proving Mike's point. We have to bow to the demands of premier league kids in a competition that historically was only for EFL clubs outside of the top 2 flights, asking for a postponement for a game 2 days after an FA cup game isn't unreasonable (cont.)

[62MAboveTheDock @62MAboveTheDock]

@therandompundit We never take the competition seriously enough to progress past the group stages and use it to give fringe players and kids a run out with a sprinkle of first team experience thrown in.

[62MAboveTheDock @62MAboveTheDock]

@therandompundit Tbf you were up against 2 "first teamers" who usually come on from the bench and make 20 min appearances here and there, aged 19 and 20. Keeper (age 20) who's named on the bench fairly regularly, Rest of the squad were youth team and think all were under 18.

Just had a phone call from a scammer pretending to be @tescomobile, reckons that my SIM card is too old and needs to be upgraded, stuttering and changing accents throughout when questioned on it. These scammers are really not the brightest these days!

@AwayDaysFB Love the extra rows of houses that have been built since I was last there a few weeks ago. Seems the railway like and the banks of the Humber have now disappeared though!

[62MAboveTheDock @62MAboveTheDock]

@triffontourgtfc @3QPeteRose I'm sure United fans were saying the same in their 120 mins against us. The lower team being hungry and wanting it. The scoreline flatters them a lot more than us, granted, but let's not take away how much they stopped us playing football on the whole!

[62MAboveTheDock @62MAboveTheDock]

@fr0lic_in_d0ubt @Youngy316 Interesting fact that. If only they'd have mentioned it! 🤣

[62MAboveTheDock @62MAboveTheDock]

@mrslauton @_sebauton1_ Happy belated birthday Seb!

[62MAboveTheDock @62MAboveTheDock]

@mattdeanbbc Looks a bit clearer than Altrincham and Notts county did last night! 🤣

[62MAboveTheDock @62MAboveTheDock]

@3QPeteRose @Grimsby_Borough Standing on my own with my kids was genuinely how I spent a lot of our early visits to BP and away games. Being an exile who moved away as a small child used to be lonely, luckily I've found some good friends along the way who've cemented that my travels are worthwhile!

[62MAboveTheDock @62MAboveTheDock]

@3QPeteRose All these jokes about not being born...... I genuinely wasn't born then, I was merely a twinkle in my dad's nut sack 🤣

[62MAboveTheDock @62MAboveTheDock]

@max_gtfc @GrimsbyBoy1984 Genuinely think when hurst was sacked a lot thought we were headed straight back to the national league, Artell keeping us up by a whisker that season was an achievement in itself, the progress is clear.

@mlond1985 😂😂 yeah and it's always on Praise and grumble. Might as well be called "Headloss Central" especially with the Nazi like admin who blocks anyone he doesn't like claiming they're being abusive 😂😂

[62MAboveTheDock @62MAboveTheDock]

@mlond1985 Oh 100%. I haven't got enough points (5 short but that's because I'm an exile who has missed a couple of away games) but if I'm honest I wasn't even attempting tickets but watching the fallout is amazing 😂😂
