Match Thread Home V Leyton Orient 23/02, 7pm kick off.

No loan players can play against their parent clubs anymore unless an agreement is signed - it's beyond gentleman's agreements these days - it has to go the other way with expressed written consent TO be allowed to play.

So I'd say it's extremely unlikely, but I guess until the clubs clarify there's always a tiny doubt. Can't see it myself though.

I have no issues with Cook and Rowe swapping and changing, there's a lot of games to play, BUT, if the disruption affects the momentum if the players then T&S need to make a call and play one more regularly.

That's likely to be Rowe, since he's our player

 

Still looks like a clearly skillful Academy player from the Premier who doesn't want to get his knees dirty. We've had a few over the years. Hope he proves me wrong, but he needs to learn a bit more about getting stuck in for the team at our level.

 

That's a Peter Beagrie penalty if ever I saw one! Brilliant, that's how you should take one, none of this fancy jinking walk up and trying to roll it in - hit the thing, hard!!!!

 

Remember one of Beags at Bristol City away late 90's - Give's Alan Sheehan's at York a run for it's money

 

Who remembers Charlie Rackstraw great penalty taker don’t think he ever missed one

 

No problemo.

 

N

Not many on here, considering he left City in 1969.

 

There is a lot of golden oldies on here

 

Still lives in Bingley. Met him in a doctor's surgery a couple of years ago. Looked very well.

 

That’s good he seemed a really nice guy and a decent footballer

 

Of course I do, best penalty taker ever. He started his run up from the half way line. The stories say he never missed a penalty but I believe he actually did miss one.

 

You are correct, Selby. Charlie did miss one although not while playing for City.
Like Dubois, I too saw Charlie in the Doctors Surgery in Bingley and we had a good old natter about the old days.
He still says that he never missed a pen but I'm certain he did - but I wasn't going to argue with him!

 

For some reason I thought he missed one at his old club Chesterfield when we were playing them at Saltergate, but I wouldn't put money on it.

 

Wallsall fans seem to think their keeper is a bit suspect.

 

Did you ever go to Molyneux?

 

The best penalty taker I ever saw played for Avenue. Don't know if he is still alive, the last I heard, he was a guest in one of her majesty's hotels.

 

The best penalty taker I ever saw was Ray Stewart at West Ham in the late 70s/early 80s. Always smashed them into the top corner. Didn't matter if the keeper went the right way - they could never get to them fast enough.
I don't know if he ever missed - I never saw him do so. @Interested Bystander might know.

 

Yes no consideration for the traveling City fans, we could have had so much less stress, but then again when have City made it easy for fans, maybe Northampton at Wembley 3 up inside the opening 30 minutes.

 

Scored 76, missed 5, actually all five saved, so always on target.

 

Lazy analysis. Apart from your freebie trip up to the Abbey how often have you seen them play? I've watched the full 90 mins of 28 games so far and if I mention the names of Taylor, Knoyle, Digby and Hannant you wouldn't have a clue who I'm talking about. We are top, and still top for a reason you know and after 30 odd games it's because of the team, not two players. And Hoolahan doesn't play midweek. Good to see that all football forums have their idiots too...
