It's a stupid idea IMO. Not the whole sin-bin thing. That could work as a whole (i.e. every yellow card - sit out 5-10 mins), though it would massively change the dynamics of the game if every yellow card reduced you by a man temporarily, but to give it only for yellows for dissent is what is...

Ilkeston are 2nd from bottom, and therefore if they go bust it will not affect the relegation places in the NPLPD as they would have been relegated on merit anyway

Extremely weird considering how they were considered pretty much dead and buried when Mills took over. Mills suggesting there were behind the scenes issues in a local paper interview, but mentioning it after being sacked also sounds like sour grapes...

That might just about cover whatever bond the conference ask for to guarantee finishing the season

Getting back to the games, Diamonds ran out easy 6-1 winners against Northwich Victoria on Saturday. It's a sad state of affairs for the club, and there are a lot of politics involved. If they do go under it would be good to see a reunification of the fan base with 1874 Northwich, or even just...

Thanks for posting, I was away for much of the weekend so never got around to this. For clarification I believe we will move in to Hayden road as soon as possible, however for the ground grading purposes you must have a stadium plan in place, up to standard, for the whole of the next season, by...

Big result for Diamonds today, a 2-1 home win over Leek Town. It's big in a couple of ways, not least because it keeps Leek out of the playoffs and cements our place, not just because it keeps us in 4th ahead of Newcastle Town and Basford on GD, but because it is a win against one of the top...

I like the idea as something new and unique. The obvious question already asked and without a clear answer is what happens to any profits made? Hopefully they can be directed to a charity. I guess it's hard to say anything at this stage since it will be difficult to tell if the matches will make...

After 3 losses in a row all it takes is another signing of a returning player and a visit to the bottom club in the division to turn things around with a 4-1 win. By all accounts Northwich were poor and we were OK, we could have had more, we missed a penalty and sounded like we lacked a...

Certainly not me, and I started the thing!

Confirmed the signing as Dan Quigley. So Quigley, Bowen and Tank all in the frame for places in tonight's game at home to Witton Albion. This is going to be a huge test I expect us to lose to be honest. Witton and Shaw Lane are much better than everyone else in the league. They are currently...

The Southern League are generally very soft on clubs in the past. They accepted Kettering with no qualms, and were willing to accept the old Rushden & Diamonds if someone had decided to come in and run the club in the brief spell after we were officially kicked out of the conference at the AGM...

Devil's advocate here, but the video conveniently doesn't show the fan's initial interaction with the goalkeeper that causes the other players to rush over. To be clear though I'm not saying that response is OK, especially when he is taking the fan away already. Just saying that the shaky...

Our fans and management are very unhappy about that performance. We've been dealing with having a DM playing CB for most of the season due to injuries to two CB's who would start for a good proportion of the teams in this division (Rory Winters and Jack Ashton). We've been defensively below par...

I will laugh if Sanchez gets injured. Completely unnecessary. At least one of the Sutton players should be able to get his shirt at the end of the game.

Gomis has been impressive. Sutton have reacted well to change formation with the second goal, though they could have better options than to do it by pushing 35 year old Simon Downer on to the right of midfield!

I think you meant to post that on the tinpot thread...

Big win away at Kidsgrove for Diamonds today. Significant as they were the team to end our unbeaten run, and they are a decent outfit picking up. Anthony Malbon was rumoured to be injured but played and was kept a bit quieter this time around! It was 1-0, but it was a significant goal for Tom...

I think there is next to zero chance of it happening (assuming you are referring to the idea of an all non-league semi-final). I just love the idea of it when people are talking about an all non-league quarter, which is dreaming a fair way already In fact if it does I will walk from Sutton to...

See earlier on this thread about the talk of ticket allocations, kick off times etc. Maybe not choosing to necessarily, but clearly not being too unhappy at not being able to go. I wonder if the Lincoln fans who were happy about going out were really that honest, or just didn't give themselves...
