Proper Lancastrians Barrow folk and proud of it, or at least they used to be before some twe*p decided otherwise and decided that they weren’t and that Boltonians were to be identified as Mancs. 
Still better to be a Cumbrian than a Manc in my book.

Warrington used to be in Lancashire. Whenever I send Christmas or birthday cards to folk back in Bolton, I still put Lancs. Always gets there.

Pleased to hear it Boncey. Me too

It's nine years since the Fabrice Muamba drama at White Hart Lane. Seems like yesterday.

Remember being in a car and someone putting on the radio and listening to what was going on and i remember being massively shocked.

The game when he was introduced to the crowd when he recovered was very emotional for everyone and will live long in the memory as well

And Carlisle drew!

They can still overhaul us by winning their games in hand but as a result of that draw with Mansfield they can only go ahead on GD rather than points.

Exeter is the other team that can overhaul us by winning their games in hand but it's a good sign that some fans are now looking up rather than over the shoulder.

We were there:- the whole ground fell eerily silent apart from one or two sobs to our left....impossible to forget....

Another pretty good result for us this evening as bottom club, Grimsby, hold Tranmere to a goalless draw!

Just days after lifting the papa John trophy, Salford sack Richie Wellens. 
Ambitious and big spending, they’ve slipped in the league and I get the impression only promotion will be good enough for their owners.
Unfortunately we have to play them next month so hoping there’s no “new manager bounce”

Well the City vs PSG game last night was the ultimate game of 2 halves. PSG were great in the first half but City battered them in the second. They pressed them high and never gave PSG a minute.

Good odds on it being an all English final this year i reckon.

Both City goals were a bit lucky, but they didn't give PSG a sniff in the second half. And the red card was well deserved.

yes that tackle was nasty. Their histrionics later trying to get KDB sent off was appalling as well.

Neymar of all people telling him to get up. Hilarious.

Keith Hill sacked by Tranmere

Chairman says sacking Hill is their best hope of promotion in the play offs.

Very strange timing IMO.
Noticed Vaughn made an appearance in the last half hour of their game against Colchester so he's back from injury and could be the difference if he partners with Nuggy in the playoffs.

Vaughn has been right up there with Mullin as the most prolific scorer this season having only played 29 games and scored 18.

If Vaughn is fit and firing I fancy Tranmere to be in with a chance. Unfortunately.

They'll look pretty silly if the don't do it. Or should I say when.

I sure hope The Shrimps are playing us next year.

They deserve to.

Which sadly means nothing.
