Without understanding the historical context in which our predecessors took decisions and actions, who are we to sit in our armchairs and, with hindsight, pass judgement.

I read that IH likes to keep a player up field to collect the clearance from corners. There's a strong case to be made that that player should be Harry Smith. But seriously, if I have to choose between losing to a last-minute OG or a penalty shoot-out I say thank you Harry.

@TFHBs That has to have been the greatest team of all time.

@StfcAbi Not once. But I've read the message 'not available in your location' a few times. 😂

[Stratton Bank @BankStratton]

@IanvRogers He only takes the throw-ins, corners and free kicks, defends a bit and scores goals. Are you sure. 😂

[Stratton Bank @BankStratton]

@thetowntalkpod I'd be happy with 9 but I think it'll be 14 😃😃😃

@LoathedStranger I couldn't be dizzier if I had done both magic raoundabouts on a spinning top.

[Stratton Bank @BankStratton]

@jiff1967 I can describe the referee's performance yesterday by saying he eventually arrived at the correct destination having gone six times around the Colchester and Swindon magic roundabouts in the wrong direction. Seldom do so many mistakes end in a fair result. #stfc

@thetowntalkpod Supporters may sometimes differ in their opinions. But my guess is that #stfc supporters unanimously hope to send Colchester back to Essex with egg on their faces and tails between their legs. Quite frankly we owe them a big number in their goals against column.

@Hazzadancerjsa @thetowntalkpod smth = something
smth = Smith

@FanHub Sheffield Wednesday February 1968.
We lost 2-1 which didn't help. #stfc

@ashleykpieterse @GoodBadRugby I guess the kicker must make the call on the position. But to take a win or bust drop under pressure was not the lowest risk option imho.

[Stratton Bank @BankStratton]

@AndyGoode10 @AllBlacks @EnglandRugby Need to tighten up on those touchline tackles before the Springboks.

[Stratton Bank @BankStratton]

@stephenjones9 Why try a drop goal. Two man advantage screams hold the ball even if the time on the clock is up.

[Stratton Bank @BankStratton]

@swindonred I seem to recall that many games in the '69 league cup run resulted in replays or extra time. This might be a good omen.

[Stratton Bank @BankStratton]

@Smallclone_ I didn't see the game but if there wasn't a yellow card here somewhere then I can't imagine why not.

[Stratton Bank @BankStratton]

@swindonred Ouch. No comment says it all.

[Stratton Bank @BankStratton]

@leefer3 Many times, and I have always enjoyed it.

[Stratton Bank @BankStratton]

@IamMzilikazi My motto had always been to believe half I see and nothing I hear. That has now been updated by adding - believe nothing on social media.

[Stratton Bank @BankStratton]

@RugbyInsideLine No protest from the kicker. Imagine some other teams being in that position. Some would have complained, some would have threatened to sue world rugby. Fair play to France, they knew it was a legitimate charge down.
