An interesting one for me tonight:
Brazil v Cameroon played one mile from my house!

Regarding Boston United, did they manage to successfully put behind them and move on from the undesirable shenhanigans of the early Noughties when the then chair/owner and the manager Steve Evans colluded together over transfer irregularities? Supporters of Carlisle United know all too well about that, as they got relegated from the basement division when Boston United went into administration after they were mathematically safe.
I remember Evans received a subsequent conviction for tax fraud. How he is still involved in football management I do not know.
Liverpool forward Sadio Mané has agreed a long term new deal with the club.
Great move by the club. I really think Liverpool are edging towards another good period. Maybe Klopp vs Guardiola will become the new Ferguson vs Wenger

A major shock in Tonypandy in the Welsh Cup semi-final!
And Connah's Quay Nomads have reached the semi-finals of the Scottish Challenge Cup where they will have a home match against Edinburgh City. The winners will play Ross County, East Fife or Bohemians of Dublin in the final.
Darlo 0 v Telford 2. FA Trophy 17th qualifying round. Days since Darlo last won a cup tie: 453239
A gutless and useless performance from an absolute shower. The manager has to go.
According to Wikipedia: The Scottish Challenge Cup was established by the SPFL's predecessor, the Scottish Football League (SFL) and was originally contested by the 28 or 30 SFL/SPFL teams below the top level in the Scottish football league system. For the 2018–19 edition there were 58 teams: 30 from the SPFL; the twelve under-20 teams of the Scottish Premiership clubs; four each from the Highland League and Lowland League; and two guest teams from each of the NIFL Premiership, Welsh Premier League, English National League, and League of Ireland Premier Division.
Boreham Wood and Sutton United were the two English teams.

Look on the bright side - it gives a chance to concentrate on the league and to get as many points on the board as possible until the end of the season.
Aston Villa 4 Dirty Bluenoses 2
Nothing second rate about today's Second City derby, which saw Villa falling behind at first when Lukas Jutkiewicz opened the scoring in the 28th minute. Villa replied in the 37th minute with Jonathan Kodja to restore parity, with Jack Grealish taking the lead 2 minutes later. Tammy Abraham extended Villa's lead 6 minutes into the second half with a penalty, with the Bluenoses having woken up before Kristian Pedersen scored to make it 3-2. Alan Hutton made it 4-2 to Villa in the 76th minute, with no more scored or conceded during the final stages of the game.

Me and my dad would agree with you there to an extent. There is however a whole wall with four posters giving the history of South Liverpool by one of the entrances, that said it is between the bike sheds and the entrance behind the smoking area so not very well sited. It gives quite a lot of info though including mention of the first Game played under floodlights which included a Nigeria 11 playing barefoot. It doesn't mention James Brodie after whom a nearby road is named, the city engineer and inventer of goal nets. Anyway, the Plaque isn't in an amazing position, in between the Costa and the cash point.Liverpool South Parkway was built on the site of Holly Park, the former home of South Liverpool FC, which was bordered by the lines to Lime Street and Central. Bradford played there four times in the 1970s, drawing all four 1-1, and I saw the lot. We also gained our first non-league point there since we won 3-1 at Brentford in the Southern League (!) in 1908.
I find it rather disrespectful that this plaque makes no mention of South Liverpool FC.
What a game at Villa Park. 5-5 and we had two goals disallowed (legit according to BBC WM) as well as Forest getting a man sent off. Feels like a defeat tbh
I hope Father Christmas brings us a goalkeeper though...
It was only a single camera on Sky Sports with no replays as it was a red button match, but one of the two disallowed goals did look to be properly disallowed.
With a man down, Villa should have sealed the game (like Blues did ) but it ended up 5-5 with it being two goals scored each after the dismissal which should be considered poor. Hopefully the reminder of the derby win last weekend might cheer you grumpy buggers up
