It's more a modern day football fan thing than a Cumbrian thing, Wordsworth. Although I'm originally from Barrow I've lived just outside Portsmouth for many years and follow Pompey as well as Barrow and I can assure you that it's exactly the same on the Pompey forum.Wordsworth wrote:This is so confusing.

Re: Hughes red card (now rescinded)
To be fair, I don't think many (I'm surprised there are any) Barrow fans give a shit that any players in this day and age have played for Hereford.

I doubt very much it will be the same officials.

Firstly when we were in the league we were in Lancashire and as such I class my self as a Lancastrian and have a postcode to prove it.Wordsworth wrote:This is so confusing.

We were unfairly dumped out of the league and never finished bottom.If I remember right Bobby Knox had to play in Goal as we were not allowed to sign a replacement for our injured Goalkeeper.
Hereford just beat Newcastle at the right time.
Several Northern clubs had been voted out of the league over the years North South divide.
Not sure about the penalty but one of your players deliberately got another fellow player sent of.He will see how much we like CHEATS ,hurry up 15 th and let's give him stick

Really? They were the team that replaced us in the Football League - after a re-vote 1972. Do you remember? Do you know? Do you care?Alhosk wrote:To be fair, I don't think many (I'm surprised there are any) Barrow fans give a shit that any players in this day and age have played for Hereford.
