I'm done, joined #bluesky.
Differences of opinions fine & welcomed but #twitter is absolutely toxic now.
Disinformation not just unchallenged but promoted. Bots everywhere & hate filled accounts pandered to & allowed to thrive with no consequences.
Horrible place! This seems much more enjoyable.

Decent game. Vics had more possession but T&E worked very hard.
T&E 1up ht through neat finish.
Vics levelled early 2nd half & got on top but T&E stood firm.
T&E took lead late on via soft penalty but Vics hit back with last kick of game.
East Cowes Vics 2v2 Totton & Eling.

DaveNich @davenich0.bsky.social · Mar 25

Rather embarrassingly despite multiple IoW trips over the years to Ryde, Cowes etc have never done East Cowes Vics so finally put that right tonight as off work for visit of Totton & Eling to complete Wessex 1.

OTD 9yrs ago saw a teenage Alfie Rutherford score all 3 in a Bognor 3v0 victory at home to Grays.
2yrs ago saw a local derby between Westbury and Frome in front of a large crowd which was high on effort and enthusiasm but few chances. Westbury edged it with 2nd half goal.

OTD saw very good Hayling win 5v0 away at Locks.
Hamble Club win against B&L which I thought may send B&L down but they impressively turned it round to stay up.
Also a forgettable 0v0 between USP v Fareham where they could still be playing now and likely no goals yet.

21 years ago Stoney crossed for Yakubu!
#Pompey
Phillips very nearly ruined it at the end.

DaveNich @davenich0.bsky.social · Mar 11

Great news. Was back to his best on Sunday.

DaveNich @davenich0.bsky.social · Mar 11

19yrs ago Pedro Mendes scored a couple of goals. Great escape surely not possible though......
#Pompey 2v1 Man City

DaveNich @davenich0.bsky.social · Mar 9

1st game for over a month as been working abroad.
Terrific performance against title favourites.
To say everyone put a shift in would be an understatement.
Superb.
#Pompey 1v0 Leeds
Ps please keep that up against Argyle on Wednesday!

DaveNich @davenich0.bsky.social · Mar 7

OTD 92 saw #Pompey 1v0 Forest.
Top atmosphere and result against a Forest side with Keane, Pearce & Sheringham among others.
Macca got the goal, poking home a Crossley fumble.
Shaggy was unplayable at times .

Yeah they were going well. Played them a few days later in the league and got beat.

DaveNich @davenich0.bsky.social · Mar 6

Probably gets overlooked to derby games, Spurs cup SF etc but 15yrs ago what a performance and atmosphere in a season where it was now clear we were in huge trouble both on and off the pitch.
Freddie P getting both the goals. A great day!

Even if we win I think we might go out on aggregate. 😃

DaveNich @davenich0.bsky.social · Jan 18

0v0ft. Much better 2nd half. Petersfield probably had the better but Crows had best chance.
Crows down to 10 right at the end, harsh red I thought.
Decent game.

DaveNich @davenich0.bsky.social · Jan 18

0v0ht really really scrappy but still an interesting game to watch.
Lots of fouls without dirty or malicious. Very few chances. Crows may arguably have shaded it.

Petersfield Town v @crowboroughafc.bsky.social today in the SCL Premier.
Not seen Petersfield since their switch from the Wessex last season.
Crows a very good team I saw several times last season on their promotion push.

Top player & hard as nails as were the rest of that Leicester back line. If Elliott didn't get you Walsh, Taggert, Prior would.
Wonder what the would make of all this 6yd box passing from GK & grappling in the box instead of just winning it. 🤔

DaveNich @davenich0.bsky.social · Jan 15

AFCB 1v3 Norwich ft.
Norwich very good, well worth win, played some good stuff & worked very hard all game.
Be interested to see how far they can go in the competition this season. Good side.

AFCB 0v2 Norwich ht.
Norwich very good. Physically much stronger & quicker than AFCB.
1st goal v harsh pen. Horrible collision between CF&GK which was as much them running into each other & ball going away from goal.
2nd goal just before ht excellent solo effort & finish.

Made me laugh a lot during the 90s watching him and the rest of the great cast of Who's Line Is It Anyway? RIP very sad news.

DaveNich @davenich0.bsky.social · Jan 10

How times change, reckon we would only beat them 3v2 nowadays..... 😀

DaveNich @davenich0.bsky.social · Jan 8

Plenty of goals tonight, some good & some bizarre.
Bracknell started well, led twice. Gosport pegged back for 2v2ht.
Gosport better 2nd45 took lead & added 4th via pen with Bracknell going down to 10.
Bracknell pulled 1 back in inj time but unable to make it a nervy finish.
Gosport 4v3 Bracknell

Surface at Privett Park excellent again especially given the large amounts of recent rain.

OTD 2011 saw #Pompey beaten 3v1 at the Withdean Stadium by Brighton in the FA cup 3rd round.
Dave Kitson got an early red but doubt that would have made much difference as pretty sure we were terrible throughout anyway.
Chris Wood & Ashley Barnes got 2 of the 3 Brighton goals that day.
