Nowhere else to stick this so I’m just added it here
I remember driving all the way to Swansea to watch the Wanderers in the Rioch era. Don’t think I’ve ever been around such haters for the English as in Swansea
Throwing bricks at us, chasing us through estates, vandalising cars, anger like I’ve never witnessed before I’ve seen similar at Wolves, Trashmere, Wigan, Burnley, Urinals and Wrexham, but never like the day at the Vetch.
Where am I going with this??? Not sure really but I guess, reading the Beebs love fest for all things Wrexham has got my blood boiling and also, if they pip us for a target signing, it’ll make me even more mad.
Beeb have done a long feature on Wrexhams ‘giant killing’ FA Cup exploits but they don’t mention Bruce’s troopers in the 90’s I hate the Beeb

I agree Rioch, I hate the BBC and for the first time in my life I have no intention of paying for a license. Next I will be refusing to pay my council tax.

Relax, Rioch. You have to remember that most of these media articles are written by little boy agents provovateurs reporters who are supporters of these clubs. If we don't have a supporter there then we miss out. BUT I think we are adequately covered by forums like this and the news and articles provided by Marc Iles and others in the BN, added to which there is a greater news and comment flow than ever from on-line sources.

Fair points there ken So long as we don’t have Vernon Kay, Paddy McGuinness or Amir Khant spouting about us😂😂 All in the ‘ohhh I might get recognised at Wembley to stroke my over inflated ego’ but never actually turn up at the ReeMac🤪🤪

Wrexham beat Arsenal - Yes in one game. We beat the cup holders Liverpool over 2 matches – winning at their ground. And the following year, we beat the cup holders Arsenal over 2 matches – winning at their ground after beating Everton at their ground again after 2 matches. Teams may pull off a shock in a one-off match but to win away from home after a replay at 3 top teams is way better than Wrexham achieved. It really annoys me when I see FA games when they mention giant killing but never say a word about us under Mr Rioch.

I’ve only just watched the EFL highlights.
Did anyone see Portsmouth’s penalty award at Port Vale.
It started with a Pompy player going straight through a Vale defender to win the ball and then the softest ridiculous award of a penalty when the Pompy man just dived.

I said at the time davidm that we were sitting proudly on top of the league until that pathetic penalty award was given Something needs to be done with refereeing standards in this league. We are no less important than Man City in the Prem, or Leicester in the Championship, refereeing at all levels needs a whole lotta revampin

Yes, I saw it, David, and agree it was a very soft penalty which gifted Pompey the three points.
What followed was some of the most comical, amusing, TV I have seen in years, as a large Vale fan crossed the pitch at speed towards the referee, who seeing the advance, took flight from the centre of the pitch towards the
dressing rooms with the angry fan in hot pursuit. Unfortunately there was no sequel as the invader was stopped a few yards away from the fearful referee. It reminded me of the old Keystone Cops films, and I have only just
stopped laughing.
