The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

With no game this week where will you get your footie fix?

For me its a "no game" day as I will be visiting a friend.

With all the top contenders playing there is the chance of some of them dropping points. the top game being Leek v Sheffield.Our lads have well deserved break and chance to get over a few knocks.



Expect several changes for Tuesday at Rugby thus giving our guys a prolonged break.

Ely City V Shepshed Dynamo in the 4th Round of the Vase.

Naaaarich v Southampton. In the away end.

FA 3rd Round.

I suspect to be left disappointed come the final whistle.

Sutton vs AFC Wimbledon - huge

I'm off to Watford v Burton Albion only £10 to get in, another ground to tick off the visited list.

Exmouth v Corinthian in the Vase.

Looking for a new car

Baby sitting anything up to 7 grandaughters, but possibly only the 5

Lots to pick from, St Neots, St Ives, Hitchin, Dunstable & Barton all at home, obvious choice would be Rugby v Chasetown but I guess we will be well represented there, so off to Newport Pagnell for Vase 4th Rd a chance to see what Peterborough Sports get for the rumoured very large UCL playing budget.

Not sure about the rest of you but I reckon I picked the winner. 430+ at Pagnell and the turned the money bags over 3-2. Greg Ling central mid and played well, Ollie Wilkinson did what he does well but did experience a few problems. Dom Lawless was excellent & scored a very good opening goal, and I'm sure you have all read about it on twatter Elliot Sandy got the winner. A great advert for UCL football and a deserved win for Pagnell.
As for Peterborough Sports? Predominantly a bunch of prima donnas, AV went through the motions, JM showed a bit in the 1st half and nothing after that, even Webby in the middle was little more than ok. They waltzed out expecting to win, should have been up at half time & moaned they weren't, 2nd half Pagnell throughly deserved the win though when they went 2-1 down I wasn't sure they would come back. Deano the PS manager let himself down badly, if you get stick from the home fans ignore it, don't shout your mouth off & f & blind at them when your 2-1 up, and certainly when they give you more S.it at 2-2 don't offer to meet them in the car park. As for chubby the Chairman he certainly did look like a bull dog licking p..S off a thistle after the game. For £6 a good afternoons entertainment & well done Pagnell.
