In all fairness those Devonshire emmets put the jam and cream on the wrong way round.

I wish we were playing them tomorrow up The Manor. So much material we could use.

There's an obvious problem with that but she could at least have looked at the pictures I suppose.

I know, I'm half Cornish. I was inferring that the immigration that Burglar Bill's Cornish Uncle was moaning about was coming from Devon. A little joke.

Assume that means they lose any prize money for that tie on top of the fine. Is the Aussie Plumber still their owner?
You've come to the right forum then.
What a t**t, they were thrown out for fielding two ineligible players. Ollie Clarke started the match while he was already serving a suspension and Aaron Drinan was used as a substitute despite not appearing on the teamsheet.

It would certainly set a precedent had they got away with fielding two ineligible players, would have seen teams playing banned players, players who were not signed before deadlines etc and claiming as its an admin error they shouldn't be punished just like the scum. You do wonder in what world they ever thought they were not going to be thrown out when it came to light, was only ever one outcome.

Doesn't say it but Talksport article.
Loving the crying from Swindon. It is everybody else's fault blah blah blah.
Maybe Holloway should tell his Captain not to grab the opposition's nether regions to begin with.

This must be the first case of a club complaining about being kicked out of a competition for playing someone banned for being a pervert (plus another unregistered player)? I have a feeling it will be the last as well, they really are a scummy little club, if you were normal you would just take it and keep quiet out of shame for the mess that it is.

What I don’t get is why Plymouth have been allowed to request a change of date for the fixture. They were always meant to play the game so if Luton are happy to play it on that date then the EFL shouldn’t move it.
They have to arrange and sell away tickets from Luton also they have to change their travel arrangements etc.
Given they would have less than a week to sort out the logistics, it doesn't seem that outlandish as a request.
Edit: Based on estimated distance, for them that is the equivalent of us having a match in York being replaced with Newcastle

Swindon's game at Crawley today had an attendance of 1,424. Now that's tinpot.
And they conceded an equaliser in the 9th minute of stoppage time. Shame.

You've got to hate Crawley and Stevenage. Taking up two league spots while there are plenty of real clubs in danger of going out of business in the NL.
Good lord that's an appalling attendance. Something from the late 80s, early 90s?

The only place I have ever heard it called that is in when saturday comes magazine before by Roger Titford, I think its a name he has tried to get traction for but it remains less known than the more popular Bermuda Triangle and even the late 80s Saint and Greavsie quiz show sporting triangle. Ironically some away fans allege that our ground only has three sides, making it a triangle, meaning Didcot triangle derby matches have been played at the triangle, though not recently as two sides of the Didcot triangle are s**t, don't know if old hypotenuse allowed for that in his theorem.

I think it's a South Oxon Chelsea supporters' thing.
