I have a bunch of chants created for Saturday going back to the initial issue most have swearing in but in a good way trying to change the words ruins the chant. If I am being supportive I can't see why this is an issue.
Darlaston now play Stourport Swifts in the Play Off Semi Final Our chairman will be happy if a crowd of over 400 turn up there did seem to be more than usual in for a midweek friendly. Some old faces and some who are new to the journey. The winner gets Either Lichfield City or Highgate United. Lichfield will be away and for Darlaston Highgate would be at home.

Lichfield are in Walsall Senior Cup action a few days before and there fixture list has been mental I think so who knows. I am looking to travel to Lichfield but to me I prefer a home Final as my best memory so far is Darlaston beating Stapenhill with a last minute winner to get promoted to where we are now. Hednesford Town have been relegated to the same level as where Darlaston currently are they might play in the division Darlo do now so if we don't go up Hednesford and Bilston will be playing us.

Also Solihull Moors are into the National League Play Off Semi Final after beating Halifax 3-0

With the greatest of respect if you get loosened up after only one pint of regular beer or cider it's probably best you stand further away from the glass. Cue 04's attempts to suck regular beer or cider through the longest straw available rather than leaving it well alone........ probably  .

Wrong word Loosened Up I let my hair down, I enjoy myself, I ay drunk Autistic medication means 4 and I wake up with a Hangover 3 is borderline. But that was when I first started drinking, I am skinny to that might play a factor although I am nearly 6'0 or about 6'0 now and now I have drunk often I might be more tolerable. Plus I was having a heated debate over the FA Cup Replays

Well yesterday I finally have found out one bloke doesn't like me. It was a friendly game I wasn't chanting. I did swear but only as a firefly wouldn't leave me alone and this old bloke just stared at me. Anyway his grandson came onto to play and he is 16. I stated I was 16 4 years ago and he said although I barely heard him that I didn't act like I was 16 4 years ago. Initially no idea what that meant, I thought he may have been saying I was mature. A bloke who I was stood by told me no he is saying that for someone is 20 a lot of the things or Expressions you say are rubbish. I told the bloke I ay offended I was bullied at school, I've had lots of abuse given to me. I don't offend players as the bloke whose grandson it was said If you abuse him I'll Deck ya. I have never abused players, maybe given some stick to opposition for there antics. If anything I have had good interactions with ours and opposition players shared some banter with one player after some early confusion. So Anyway I said I was allowed to Express an opinion and if he didn't like it tough. I've since figured out he probably doesn't like me swearing. In fact because they all know me down the club they moan at me and another lad in his late twenties about 26 but he doesn't care he is autistic to. Now I know he has abused our captain and I thought he wasn't much older as he acted immature. But I always get moaned at for swearing. To me there is Beer, it is a bar would I swear in a Pub yes, would It be fine yes. There are never any kids stood around us apart from the blokes I know but there not paying attention and the Blokes don't care they expect it. There was no kids by us at all yesterday. But I think he thinks I am a yob. Now I don't really care but I think it comes down from me giving stick to a ref and telling the lad who is autistic to Deck someone who had offended him. He didn't do anything as said not to by the blokes wife, but he still wanted to do something and being autistic I know this.

Now whenever this is said it makes me question why do I continue to come I should just go down the other Darlo. But then I think actually I'll be here a lot longer than this bloke so I can do what I want within reason. Should I have sworn no but I had had 1 pint and after a pint it loosens you up. And yes it was friendly, but other blokes swear, difference they aren't known. I can now see why this might put people off coming to games at all levels and no atmosphere being created as they want people to come and support the Albion or Darlo.

But to me to quote Enienm Leave me to be me I think from the song Rap God or Slim Shady I know he says it. And focus on your grandson playing

He was awful and nearly relegated Luton to league 1 when they were almost ready for the Premier League. At the same time, Moore's last few jobs have been without him which makes you wonder. Oh after he left here he was made Luton manager then it says he left to join Bournemouth

That was Nathan Jones who took Southampton down unless Graham Jones had a period there to. I'm sure Nathan Jones secured Luton he was the manager before Rob Edwards who took them up. But I maybe wrong.  Oh OK after he left us he did take up Luton Manager then left to go to Bournemouth

Is it? So we just aim to finish above The Ipswichs, Norwichs and Leicesters and then its job done?
Reminds me of what my Dad used to say. Aim high and you might not get there. Aim to be average, and you won't even make that.

Of course we want to be in the Prem, but with this VAR shambles we could think we have a huge game to keep us up only for say MJ to be offside by a toenail or because his Boot is bigger than say the Everton Fullback's. It is VAR that makes you question what is the point. The Championship has bad refs but when you score a winner you know it will likely stand, you know you get that feeling to go absolutely mental with your fellow fans as you score a last minute winner to secure promotion or avoid the drop or win the league. You Don't get that in the Greed League, VAR this VAR that get it gone and the Prem might be better. We all realistically know If Albion go up VAR will hate us.

And whilst I don't like Wolves Ashley Young kicked the ball and then the ankle of the Nottingham Forest player, Wolves have had that go against them. This time nothing for Forest so either Wolves and Everton both concede the Penalty or there not Penalties. Also worth noting Andre Onana was off the line for Callum O Hare's Penalty. Me and a few others saw that. And this is why despite me being an Albion fan I don't think I could ever go to a game in the Prem and have My joy sucked out of me. VAR was brought in to help the Refs. And I remember first game. Michael Oliver was the ref Craven Cottage was the ground and I think it was in the FA Cup. He walked up to it and looked and then made his own mind up sticking with his descion. We were all lead to believe VAR would be operated by a Referee like in Rugby but like Rugby just helps them make descions as they see Replays, it wouldn't look at Offsides, Mistaken Identity, Violent Conduct and one other thing were it's three main intervening factors where the Referee would change his mind. But we were sold a lie. It doesn't do that it looks at everything and because the refs are poor and don't have the balls to challenge the VAR Ref we see descions. If I was the ref I would have looked at the monitor and decided to give the goal as it was to close. Forget the lines they seemed to be Rigged. No one is mentioning the lines on the BBC. I don't know if MOTD did I turned it off after the Prem games because I didn't want to see Coventry get robbed. But instead we have this utter rubbish. A Wolves fan even said if we played a Black Country Derby it would be 0-0 as VAR would hate both of us. If I was Coventry I would demand a replay and an apology.

This leads me onto a point 5 years ago or back when we first got relegated I had never heard and didn't know of the PGMOL or IFAB I thought the rules and Refs were chosen and allocated by the FA and the FA would remove any Refs for having a howler. Now I know about them. I said to someone it comes to something the best ref I have seen this season was a women in Rebecca Welch. Mark Robins fair play to him didn't seem to angry but he said so it Hadji Wright had cut his toenail we would be in the final. I assume at that point he hadn't seen the mess of that line. Even Man Utd knew they had been Spurred ETH walked straight off with most of the United Players. That being said They did appeal, had they not it wouldn't have even been looked at. Lee Dixon initially said he was Onside then saw the line and said off. I didn't see the line was weird I could just see part of Wan Bisska's Body was playing Wright on side. I hope Albion never get promoted if this is what we have to face. Honestly Can we just refuse our place. Win the Championship or have a battle for the title and refuse our place in the Prem. It would be more fun than this

That was VERY cruel I hate these decisions that involve mm’s and even with the lines aren’t clear in the slightest.

It's Man Utd they have to give it. Why did they even appeal, how did they know he wasn't Offside he looked on, if they paid as much attention to where he was offside as they did the game they wouldn't need that, Onana was off his line for 1 penalty. Fernandes who needs Drop Kicking by a Vinny Jones type was giving abuse to the Coventry Keeper, VAR aka MSN Utd's best friend get it gone get it gone now we can't use it anyway. And as you can tell I really hate Man Utd they are the definition of Entitled. There fans are pathetic no chanting until the penalties. Coventry deserved to go through. I just know Man Utd still have all the refs and executives and officials for these completely Football ruining descions on there side. God is there a more jammy team. I thought Villa were but even they suffer when they play Utd. What a joke of a team and VAR needs gone. This is further conformation to me I am sticking with Non League. If this is football forget it

I three outcomes for the end of the FA Cup 2 are probably predictable, Manchester Derby again in the Final, and City win as Utd are a mess, Coventry get to the final and get steamrolled or and I do hope this happens and it would be a big shock but based on the nature of this season, Coventry get to the final, City attack attack attack but can't break them down and then Coventry nick it one nil. Realistically it's Man City who are going to win. I debate even watching this semi final and the final with the fact the competition is being ruined and it is predictable. That and I can't stand Man Utd especially Fernandes

Moore did show a bit of tactical awareness didn't he? What happened? Too much reliance on his coaches?

Graham Jones ruined him and then snaked him he is now at Newcastle United although Eddie Howe and Jason Tindall are to big time to let him control them. Although I did see him on MOTD trying to take credit for something that resulted in a Newcastle win, despite Eddie Howe and Jason Tindall clearly discussing that thing on the touchline.

I’m hoping we put a statement out like several teams have but I’m guessing with us having a chance of being there next season they won’t 

Patel probably doesn't want to speak out yet to avoid trouble. Regardless of us being there we would love the replays. The people who founded the FA and the league including members of our clubs would be turning in there grave

Connor Townsend let us down today, we didn't take our chances, absolutely dominanted them. Individual errors, I say we wasted chances it could have been 4-2 had it not been for blocks. Chowdury should have booked eairler, Referee was desperate trying to favour Leicester, one of them days just wasn't our day Today, we played well though can't be to disheartened

The initials of my first name and middle name are MJ he is much better than me at Football, I am more of a Fullback and Midfielder.
And 2-0 game over. When ever we play on Sky we don't do well. Townsend is woeful, we signed him for £1.5 Million, BTA looks even more a bargain from a lower division than Townsend.

Wallace over, our best chance since conceding, We need to show that intensity we did at the Start in the second half. Gsne over Penalty to Leicester, Is it even a Penalty, Is it even a foul.
Vardy Misses Justice
