I look like a right divvy in the pic with Nosworthy. Im in the blue btw

Thought so, was trying to think who it was looked so familiar. I eventually twigged when I logged on here last night that it was you.

Only ever done that once. Was a december night game against Man City, I had an old Denmark gk shirt I wanted Schmeichel to sign and waited ages. It was the coldest i've ever been in my life, not to mention it was the Wilko era and we got stuffed I seem to remember.

Yea we stood for a while. Whitehead to be fair is really down to earth, stopped and talked for at least two minutes. Said he's proud of the result and how far the club has come since he arrived.

Nah dont think i've ever put my pic up on anything so you wouldnt, but you must of seen me yesterday saying as I walked right past you!

Funny you should say that about Whitehead. Last season at Fulham I was waiting outside for Keano to sign my programme, and Whitehead's mam was stood right next to us. When he eventually came out he apologized and said he couldnt stop as it was raining lol, she was full of apologies I thought it was quite funny though tbh.
Most of the players seem good with the fans, Collins the best I would say and Andy Reid was the only one who just ignored the fans all together.

Poland fail to meet Fifa deadline


Minister of Sport Miroslaw Drzewiecki defends the Polish government stance

Poland risked suspension from all competitions and losing the right to co-host Euro 2012 after they missed a Fifa deadline of 1100 BST on Monday.
Fifa had demanded Poland reinstate their Football Association after it was suspended by the country's government and replaced by an administrator.
Fifa said on Monday it had received new information but awaited a full report.
Poland face being handed an automatic 3-0 defeat in their upcoming World Cup qualifier against the Czech Republic.
Uefa has threatened to take Euro 2012 away from Poland - co-hosts along with Ukraine - if it fails to reinstate its Football Association.

Poland's arbitration tribunal suspended the FA (PZPN) last week and named an administrator after failing to address corruption issues. But Fifa and Uefa have refused to recognise the administrator appointed to run the country's FA.
Uefa spokesman William Gaillard said on Friday: "The rules are clear. We offered Euro 2012 to the FA, not the government.
"So if the FA are not in place or suspended then they are not in a position to host the tournament."
Fifa has said it would ignore any correspondence from the newly installed board as the sport's world governing body's statutes forbid government intervention in football affairs.
And Gaillard added: "We are standing firm with Fifa. Our patience has limits and we are very close to the limit.
"If the FA is not reinstated by Monday's deadline then we will have serious discussions about the future of Euro 2012 immediately. We will not wait any longer."

Last week both Poland and Ukraine were given a reprieve after a report criticised their lack of progress in preparing to hold Euro 2012. "We gave Poland another chance and then there was this coup on Monday. It is very annoying," stated Gaillard.
"We have done everything we can for Poland and Ukraine. We have bent over backwards to help them and this makes us very unhappy."
Poland, who are in the same World Cup qualifying group as Northern Ireland, could be handed automatic 3-0 defeats against Czech Republic and Slovakia.
A Fifa statement said further action would be considered when the executive committee meets in Zurich on 23-24 October, with Uefa's emergency panel scheduled to meet at about the same time.
Poland were threatened with being thrown out of qualifying for Euro 2008 when the PZPN was suspended in January 2007.

Would make the qualifiers very odd...though not drawn yet so I'm sure they'll work something out.

Poland settle dispute with Fifa


Fifa president Sepp Blatter confirmed the dispute is over

The Polish Football Association has settled a dispute with its government that threatened its right to co-host Euro 2012, says Fifa boss Sepp Blatter.
Fifa gave Poland a deadline of 1100 BST on Monday to reinstate their FA after it was suspended by the government.
Missing that deadline would have risked suspension from all competitions and losing their status as Euro 2012 hosts.
But Blatter has said that Fifa will not impose any sanctions on Poland if the agreement comes into force on Tuesday.
"We have received letters and documents that there has been an agreement between the FA and the Polish government," said Blatter.
"If this agreement comes into force tomorrow (Tuesday) it is sufficient for us. We will not impose any sanctions once the agreement comes into force."
The arbitration tribunal of the Polish National Olympic Committee suspended the FA (PZPN) last week and named an administrator after failing to address corruption issues.
But Fifa and Uefa refused to recognise the new structure and the Polish National Olympic Committee must now withdraw the temporary administrator.
The Polish government has agreed to end its administration of the PZPN and adhere a "roadmap" set up following a similar row in 2007.
Failure to comply would have meant Poland faced being handed automatic 3-0 defeats in their upcoming World Cup qualifiers against the Czech Republic and Slovakia, but those matches will now take place.
Uefa had also threatened to take Euro 2012 away from Poland - co-hosts along with Ukraine - if it failed to reinstate its Football Association.
That remains a possibility as Fifa says it will continue to "closely monitor the situation at the Polish FA and the implementation of the measures established in the roadmap".
The roadmap was created following discussions between the Polish FA, the Polish government, Fifa and Uefa and laid out the steps that should be taken before elections take place at the Polish FA.
The matter will be analysed and discussed at the next Fifa Executive Committee meeting on 23-24 October.

Well thats that sorted out.
