Match Thread Most liked posts in thread: Home v Carlisle Utd Sat May 7th @3.00pm

could not really see the penalty call , as i sit in the lower kop. We have had so many soft penalty's awarded against us and i can not honestly remember the last one we were awarded. If the ref was influenced by the crowd towards us, well its the first time, as they usually go the other way and decide to give most things against us to prove our larger crowds do not affect them, thus making the crowd size affect them. Referee's are decidedly average at our level.
Overall it was an enjoyable match for an end of season and nothing for either team but pride.
Good luck for next season.

 

Police will push you towards the Bradford Arms on Manningham Lane, however for those who don't think they are extras in the Football Factory most bars on North Parade are welcoming.

I don't think they will give more than 800 tickets for behind the goal, it's likely they will open the top tier and keep the bottom tier closed so I would think that is your lot for this game.

 

Funny thing I saw at Bramall lane once,
some moron threw a coin at Billy sharp, He just bent down picked it up and tucked it in his sock, Admired the ever since that

 

Thank you for asking. Week before and truly wonderful day. So proud and despite my "tough exterior",, shed a few tears as my liccle girl was wed.

Will certainly never forget the day.

As for City.... U can guess!

 

Reads like a comment from the Viz top tips section.
'Carlisle fans, why not get round today's restrictions on alcohol being sold in the Bradford end by secreting bottles of lager on young children before entry. Be advantageous and have them wear an oversized coat with extra pocket ls in the lining for more carrying capacity.

 

Give it a rest a few k##b heads at the end of the minutes silence, 99.999999% respected the minutes silence.

 

To stop him biting his nails.

 

Id like it to be bigger than anyone but Wrexham tbh. If they don’t come up we should (but won’t) have the highest budget in the league. Smashing fourth tier attendance records, we are a massive club, we have a massive manager. It doesnt fit we’ve moderate ambition and a moderate budget. But I won’t hold my breath!

 

Anyone any idea what happened that led to this?

 

Angol was giving it large to their number 12 Mellish all the first half and when they were walking off I believe it was those two again, loved how Sparkie brushed Skelton to one side then they all pilled in but Sparkie looks the least threatened of them all with a grin on his face, he's been there seen it done it, Paudie evens fancies some with the lad Mellish.
Great video clip .

 

They should be grateful for small mercies

 

I have to smile when I read this sort of comment not aimed at you or @Johnny Yen, but fans can't have it both ways when fans give stick to players you then have accept the flack when as the above mentioned scores against you then does this to the home crowd.

These two quotes say it all about the lad a bit of a maverick : Manager Steven Pressley said after the game that "I'm pleased for him because he’s a really good kid. He takes a bit of managing, but he's a good kid underneath that". McKirdy scored 11 goals from 38 games to finish as United's top-scorer for the 2019/20 season.However he was released in May 2020.
Manager Chris Beech said that "I respect the skill sets he has got... [but] Harry wasn't happy... [and] I don’t want to get a footballer in a headlock and make him do something he doesn’t want to do".
Looks like he's found a club that appreciate his style not a lot you can say when he's banged in 16 goals in 31 appearances.

 

Indeed fans cant have it both ways.
There's been some great banter with players over the years, Kevin Ellison comes immediately to mind.
On a personal note, why I mentioned Carlisle, is I was sat watching a load of crap, when a couple of their players came over to where I sat, dishing out stick.
I didn't even know at the time they were crap that we'd previously had at the club.
So I took it personal, they dished it out and I was hoping to give it back haha
However, now just giving them a good beating will be my only revenge. haha

 

I hope it's nice and noisy on Saturday, and we give our ex-players a taste of what it's like when we're NOT feeling as toxic as we were at Carlisle.

Hopefully we perform.

 

Ridehalgh out but Eisa might get some game time.
We are down for this last match of the season.

Gone are the days

Cornwall Road fish shop and where the filling station is at the top of Valley Parade there was Belle Vue fisheries.

I was brought up on them in the 50’s-60’s , happy days.

A sad world when your only choice is a two day old sausage roll in a two year old plastic wrapper.

 

Hoping O'Donnell get a run out today , know he has had his troubles between the sticks , but he has been here while we have been going downhill fast , but think he deserves one last send off , sure he ain't getting a contract best of luck wherever he ends up

 

Announce it half time.

 

club just tweeted , close to 18000 tickets sold for today.
If true that is an amazing achievement .
