Oldham 5-1 Northampton

This match could easily been call off due to heavy snow fall in Oldham but ground-staff did good job keeping match on and Oldham players award them with five goals and sound like Oldham fully deserve victory. Also first time since Jan 2014 that Oldham scored five goals in match.

Really not been a good run for us

Barnsley 0 Derby County 3

Evo Stik First Division North

Belated entry, as I had been struck down by a viral infection since late last Tuesday evening.

Hyde United 6...Trafford 1

Ten goals scored in last two league matches by Hyde and now up to third place in the league.

What's been going on up in Scotland? Too much whisky for Fort Bill's goalie perhaps?

SIXTEEN

In leagues where there is no fear of relegation, you sometimes get a team like Fort William which is hopelessly out of its depth. Huyton RLFC was another. Rugby Union is talking about ring fencing its top division and could end up with a similar problem.

In many ways, it would have been better for Bradford to have been relegated automatically from D4 in 1967 rather than get worse and worse and have to be booted out at the re-election ballot box in 1970. We would then have had a chance to rebuild and try win our place back on the football field. As it was, the FL were never going to re-elect us however well we did with another struggling team across the city in Manningham (who would have gone out of the league before us in 1966 had automatic relegation applied).

Manchester Premier Cup

Hyde United 5....West Didsbury and Chorlton 2

The visitors from another league made their presence felt well and were not overawed by having to play this round of the cup on a Tuesday night under the floodlights away at Hyde. However, Hyde are on something of a scoring run of late and five goals in this match meant they have scored 15 in the last three matches played.

 

[SS4]

Defeat for the Villa puts a dampener on our promotion chances but at least Blues fans can claim they're the strongest team in the league

 

[familyguy99]

Doncaster 1-1 Oldham

Fair point at Keepmoat Stadium from sound of things and nice to see Doyle getting back onto scoring sheet.

Evo Stik First Division North

Prescot Cables 2....Hyde United 2

This was one the matches to survive the recent frozen ground conditions and as befits two top-four clubs, a score draw was a fair reflection.

 

[Minilad]

I doubt there is any team in the football league is is more flattered by their league position than Villa. We are utter garbage

 

[Butts]

Bit of a turn up at Tynecastle today, as Hearts hammered Celtic 4-0 to bring to and their 69 match unbeaten run in the SPL.

 

[DarloRich]

AKA pub league team beat slightly less pub league but still not very good in the grand scheme of things team in a pub league that that the same side will win no matter how long as football exists.

Very delighted Hearts supporter here tonight. Totally wiped the floor with them with quite a few players missing.

 

[Groningen]

Swansea City sack head coach Paul Clement.

Surprised nobody mentioned Bristol City beating Newton Heath the other night

Gary Monk has left boro

Hyde United 3... Scarborough Athletic 1

Another top-four match to test Hyde who reacted well to the conditions and scored twice in the first 14 minutes then held their own for the remainder of the match. Still in fourth place. only one point behind the teams in second and third place, with games in hand over them.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Surprised nobody mentioned Bristol City beating Newton Heath the other night

Perhaps it was a somewhat expected result based on the recent match form displayed by both these sides.

 

[Minilad]

Villa....still garbage

Why did I make the stupid decision to support my local club when I was 4.

York's struggles in this tinpot league continue after a 3-2 home loss to Blyth Spartans. Not kept a clean sheet since 9th September. We play bottom team North Ferriby home and away next week, nothing short of 6 points acceptable

 

[KashmireHawker]

Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 Ipswich Town: 30,219 at another Sold-Out Molineux and the 1 goal was more than enough to continue that quest, of which we now stand 10 clear of Derby in 3rd!

 

[DarloRich]

Gainsborough Trinity 3 v Darlo 1

Sigh. 1 point in 5 games, in the bottom three. Next 3 games: Harrogate, Salford & York. Going down.

 

[Iskra]

35000+ saw Leeds grind out a 1-0 result against Hull. Pretty happy with how our relatively lightweight and international team are starting to adapt to this division.

Hull were actually quite good to be fair, Dawson in particular being immense. Their keeper kindly gifted us a goal (required a great finish from Hernandez). Another clean sheet, and we’re back in the play-off places although there is no room for complacency as there are quite a few teams hot on our heels.

Burton Albion away next up.

 

[Iskra]

Wednesday sack their manager now too. Rare to have both managers sacked after a match!

 

[Minilad]

Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 Ipswich Town: 30,219 at another Sold-Out Molineux and the 1 goal was more than enough to continue that quest, of which we now stand 10 clear of Derby in 3rd!

An Albion supporting friend of mine who lives in Coseley says he is having trouble sleeping at night as all he can hear is the sound of creaking floorboards. He reckons it’s the sound of lots of Dingles coming out from underneath them

 

[12CSVT]

Mixed fortunes for the clubs at the bottom of the Scottish Highland and Lowland leagues yesterday.

Hawick Royal Albert picked up their first points of the season with a 3 - 2 win over Dalbeattie Star.
Fort William weren't so lucky, losing 4 -3 at home to Lossiemouth, and remain on one point this season.

 

[Cletus]

Just back from watching Dover Athletic come back from 2-0 down to draw with Maidstone.

York and Darlington fans slightly happier this evening?

 

[familyguy99]

Not been great couple of day's for Oldham.

Saturday 23rd December
Plymouth 4-1 Oldham

Tuesday 26th December
Oldham 1-2 Fleetwood

Fleetwood got they first ever win at Boundary Park today and funny enough Fleetwood only had two shots in whole game.

 

[96tommy]

York did a win.

 

[Minilad]

Get gone Bruce you dinosaur

The local Tameside derby of Droylsden v Hyde United was one of the three of the match cancellations on Boxing Day in the Evo Stik First Division North
