Exeter won 2-0.

Thick as horseshit Clinton Morrison said, "The Exeter supporters will love this in work tomorrow. They probably work with a few Plymouth fans".

It’s not an intra-city derby, you stupid fucker, Morrison. Exeter and Plymouth are nearly 50 miles from each other.

To be fair though in that part of the world 50 miles to your rival is like Dundee vs Dundee United ;)

Plymouth were terrible 2nd half and Exeter fully deserved the 3 points. Argyle are in the bottom 4 after relegation last season, for a team that expected to be in the promotion hunt can't see Cleverly lasting much longer.

Potentially 2 sackings on his CV in less than 6 months

While I agree that 50 miles is not far for local rivalries in more rural areas, there is very little chance that Plymouth and Exeter supporters work with each other. Plymouth has a population of around a quarter of a million, and is a similar size to Stoke-on-Trent. Exeter isn’t exactly small, either. They’re not tiny villages a couple of miles apart.

It’s as stupid a comment from Morrison as saying Ipswich and Norwich supporters will be taking the piss out of each other, after an East Anglia derby.

Stupidly is another low quality manager/ head coach, who has been appointed to several jobs because he played for the pisscan. He is not alone, though. Hardly any rags from the Govan bully years has become a top level manager/ coach.

Well done to skybet for putting nearly £1000, behind the bar for Truro fans at Gateshead today

Stockport 1 up at Port Vale tonight. That puts them top in League one as it stands, though it's very tight at the top of that table....

 

[jimharri]

Stockport taking the piss tonight; 3 up in half an hour.

Just switched over to the Reading vs Stevenage game for a few minutes before the Palace game starts. They've got Steve Evans in the studio. Christ, he's shifted some timber since I last saw him. Apparently, six and a half stones gone since March.

Steve Evans interview: Six-and-a-half stone weight loss sparked by family inspiration and more promotion dreams

In an exclusive interview with Sky Sports, charismatic coach Steve Evans opens up about the reasons for his dramatic weight loss and reveals that one of the motivations behind it is to get fit physically and mentally so that he can chase down that next promotion...

To be fair, I've seen Palace vs Brighton described more than once as a "derby" as well. Even in the media.....



It may very well be a "rivalry", but two sides 46 miles apart is NOT a derby, no more than Exeter vs Plymouth (also 46 miles apart) , or Ipswich vs Norwich (yes, you guessed it; also 46 miles apart!)*.



Unless Google maps is playing up today!

Right move leaving Boro for wolves just because it’s be a lot more money and they go down more chance of getting back up! Boro is a small tiny club

As opposed to a big tiny club?

Exeter and Plymouth are at least in the same county, hence "Devon derby".

I’ve seen Bradford vs. Doncaster described as a Yorkshire derby, but they’re not in the same county.

I see your point. But, to me, a derby is a game between two clubs from the same urban conurbation.

Yes; I know. Going by my definition, city vs the rags is not a derby.

Great commentary in the Stoke v Coventry game

 

[VOOMER]

Have to laugh after being escorted out of the County V Luton game.
My mate has actually lived over half his 42 years in Manchester his son 10 is born and bred from Manchester. For his sins he's a Luton supporter (I know, I know).
So we get three tickets in the family stand, as per chance Luton expose Countys one pace defence.
We are all sat on our hands so we politely ask, ( as there are still seats in the Luton end), if we can join them as mates son says "It looks like their having more fun in that end!".
So we politely ask if we can go in the Luton end. Everything seemed okay, then we are escorted to through a number of gates. Foolishly, we thought we were being taken into the Luton end.
Nope they were throwing us out of the ground.
I guess the sight of an arthritic 60, with a balding middle age bloke and 10 year old son set of the alarm bells.
We're still certain that if they had let us in the fun end, then County would have scored 3 unanswered goals.
Now, I hope and pray they go out of effing existence.

That Cheltenham goal looked like a push, quite refreshing to see an immediate celebration and straight to kick off though.

Stockport 2 down at Peterborough. They’ve been dire so far tonight.

Play offs if they’re lucky

Hard to see, on tonight's performance, how they're top of the table. Peterborough by far the better side so far. Maybe they thought that wearing the Ireland kit might have sprinkled some of that Budapest magic dust on them!
