We will just have grin and bear it, in the absence of any realistic alternative. other than sacking yet another manager. All the above posts correctly identify the past difficulties, but none address an Identifiable way forward. Underpinning our problems is money. Firstly a lack of mega bucks, to bu...

No Russell that will take time but positivity breeds positivity and we were the better side today by a distance. Far from the finished article but it will come. I'm just grateful for some points but most of these matches are just kick it forward aimlessly, grab hold of any player near you and foul ...

“Feels like something’s building” Shame Mark Leather didn’t feel like it was and decided to leave. May not seem much but somebody who is used to high standards wanting to leave isn’t ideal I’m confused by this. Has Mark Leather left the club? As others say there doesn’t appear to have been any anno...

He has been a bit like Dom Telford when he arrived. Both came with excellent reputations, but both faltered and ultimately disappointed in a Barrow shirt. I suppose Rose is different in that Murray inherited him rather than chose him, and currently he doesn’t fit the bill. Like everyone, I hope we f...

Up until 85 minutes last night the ground was buzzing. We had been the better team, frustratingly not scoring, but then a belter went in. Our intensity was noticeable - man to man marking, winning lots of individual battles, and most second balls and 50/50s. That was throughout, so our fitness level...

Unnecessarily profane from one of the contributors. Lessons in the bleeding obvious for a lot of the observations.
Pretty dull really.

"Unnecessarily profane" needs to go on the poster - all the more reason to tune in!

Touché!

Happy Birthday Big Man! Big Innes steps up in the 96th minute to get us a well-earned draw against the dreaded Harrogate. That's lifted the spirits of this week's guests Ronan and Danny, who join Jonny to break down the Harrogate away trip, and that wonderful Murray interview of course. They talk p...

Just watched Murray’s interview. Unimpressed. Too many sound bites. Too many excuses. Too many attempted explanations. Too much face scratching (becoming known in medical terms as “Whings Disease”) It really is a bad look. I’d say, just get on it with it in your own way and say as little as possible...

The mighty dollar is obviously a major factor. Kouyate at 22 is at least in the market for a loan and should be, if he wants to continue being a professional footballer. Earing at 27, the same or a new club altogether. If Murray has told him he’s not wanted, what’s his agent playing at? His current ...

The Northern Ireland record goalscorer David Healy was the manager at Linfield when Graham made his league debut, and Healey praised Graham for his scoring ability, being quoted by BBC Sport as saying "he's 'goals, goals, goals', he prowls in and around and he's a deadly finisher." If tha...

The noticeable thing about today was the referee.
He was very bad.
Going to have to accept his type of performance throughout the season.
All round, more positives than negatives for me.

Spillin' the Beans! is BACK! AVAILABLE WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS We're talking new players, new kit, #TheGaffer and of course, #HartlepoolUnited and the new season https://youtu.be/SZgLMe_wytc https://i.ibb.co/Ndzswkwh/GIF-20260806-171617-808.gif The guy with bald head is a horrid ear and nose...

Just a thought.
Hartlepool play in light blue and white stripes.
Clash with our black and white?
Our second strip would clash even more.
Do we have a third strip?

I wonder how close the starting 11 v Morecambe will be to the one at Hartlepool? 8 new players began yesterday, with 3 from last years contracted group in the line up. Of the 9 subs, all from last season except Digie. Barrett, Raglan, Digie, Kouyate, Earing didn’t get on. Smith, Cameron, Whitfield, ...

From the Cheltenham website. This might surprise some of Wyll's detractors. https://www.ctfc.com/news/2026/july/19/in-focus--wyll-stanway/ An interesting read, but perhaps it emphasises that statistics don’t give the full picture. Far from it. Capable of excellent saves, and very fast off his line,...
