[Brian Flynn]

Can't go due to coaching and family commitments - I am not boycotting, honestly!

JH seems to have the knack for Cup Football (he is, after all, defending the trophy his team won last year), so maybe the much needed win will come tonight. A draw offers the less than enticing prospect of a mid-December trip to Blyth (do I remember a mysterious Conference North postponement at this time of year in Lee Sinnott's time?) so a definite result one way or the other would be good. We are right down the bare bones because of eligibility issues - if the sick and the lame are not all fit again it seems to me we could even have Alfreton-style issues about fielding a full bench (which says a lot more about NY than it does about JH, by the way).

Still, despite it all, the right team selection, intelligent use of substitutes (however few we might have) and a positive attitude to keep going forward to the end even if we are winning narrowly should see us through tonight. There is a first time for everything! I shall look forward to hearing the cheers for our goals from what passes for the crowd through my patio doors!

December 2011......Tommy Cassidy had just been installed as Blyth manager & didn't want the game played. If it had taken place, it would have been Anthony Danylyk's last game for Alty.

We'll have to manage without that knack tonight.

The timing is a shame because this was due to be the first time since 1979 that we were to begin our FA trophy campaign with the current trophy winning manager in charge?

I had intended to go but i will stay at home and laugh at the Tims getting slaughtered instead.

How's that slaughtering coming on?

[Teasierbeaver]

Astonished that we seem to have done ok with such a threadbare team. I'll take all the positives after yet another big day in our recent history and hopefully so will the players and run with it.

Well done to all, especially those who braved it in the stands!

I don't know how Pep got a job as a manager. He has no idea. He got rid of Joe Hart and failed to bring in anyone better, then he decided to put the best player on the subs bench and allow a player on loan to play against them. As for septic, it was their cup final.

Part two

Blyth Spartans 8/11
Draw 11/4
Alty 13/5

Blyth will probably have turnball and Robbie Dale back so it will be a tougher prospect than Tuesday. However if we can field a slightly stronger side than Tuesday night there's every chance we can progress

Unable to attend due to pre-existing evening commitments (would also be unable to attend on 20th if we got thru, by the way). Good luck to all those travelling - by whatever means.
As for the game - if the players can show the same level of effort, passion & commitment as was evident in most quarters on Tuesday (& perhaps a little more by some wouldn't go amiss ...) that'll do me irrespective of the result. Attitude is all-important.

Whatever happens it's another opportunity to understand how Buzz wants them to play.

I'd still like to see two wins before Christmas. Tamworth look like they'll be in the playoffs. FCUM on the other hand don't.

[The Sound of Silence]

Going and looking forward to it. Radio Robins (but not radio football commentary) debut, so wish me luck and listen if you can please.

[cheshire cat]

Is it possible to listen to radio robins on a phone. Do I need an App to do it?

Works fine on my iPhone.

Sorry I should have said. Yes, I am on android.
