    Cheats Do prosper!

    It's obvious, and has been for years, that 'cheats Do prosper' in the lower reaches of the EFL. Over the years, I've seen dozens of games where poor sides effectively ruin games by pre-planned, obviously coached time wasting. So, do we care? Can we do anything about it? Well, personally, it...

    Simple rules for a simple game

    Given the inconsistency from officials these days, perhaps it's time for a total review of the rules to make things simpler. I'll start it off: 1. If you're offside - then you're offside 2. If you get in the way of an opposition player, without trying to play the ball - then it's obstruction 3...

    That's Obstruction, that is!

    Some time ago, I remember a discussion about 'obstruction', whereby the then interpretation was explained as being something like : a defender following a ball is deemed to be in control of the ball, even if he's not actually touched it. However, we now seem to have completely moved on from...

    The Arsenal Stadium Mystery - featuring Cliff Bastin

    I don't know if anyone has come across this before, but I stumbled onto it doing some other research . .

    Social media presence

    Just like to flag up what a great job the club are doing with their social media presence in recent seasons. As an 'exile' now living abroad, I had expected that my interest in ECFC, through lack of regular contact, would have invariably wained over time. However, what with Ifollow, the club's...

    ECFC ifollow

    I'm seeing adverts for other clubs for an earlybird sign-up for ifollow at £110. However, the ECFC site only appears to be offering the full £130 season pass. Anyone know anything about this?

    Feedback on Acadamy

    Didn't make the Morecambe game as I went with a friend to see Yeovil against Colchester Utd - two very average teams! However, arriving early it was interesting to see that the City <16s and <18s were playing Yeovil youngsters on the outside pitches at Huish Park. Wandering over I got chatting...

    Sol Campbell

    Could be an interesting assistant manager/defensive coach? Sol Campbell: ‘I’m prepared to go to a non-league club and just get a win bonus’ https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jul/08/sol-campbell-non-league-manager-interview?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Copy_to_clipboard

    Ticket available

    One of my party can't make it (there's always one!) so I have a spare adult ticket. Anyone interested?

    Protect our strikers

    I reckon we should preserve any fit strikers we have for the important game against Chesterfield on Saturday. Give the youth strikers a run out on Wednesday. Would it really make much difference?

    Club Shop - Opening Times

    Anyone know the opening times of the club shop? I couldn't find them anywhere on the official site (might not have looked properly), but I need to change an away shirt on Friday - bigger size needed (there's no way I'm really an XXL!!!)

    Mackie debut for Plymouth

    Interesting quote from Paul Sturrock - "The rest of his game when he came on, apart from the goals, was a nightmare. "His other six touches were all passes that went to the opposition, but that's what we've got on our hands. "Hopefully his goalscoring knack will never be changed, but there's...

    Creeping 'Textspeak'

    Am I the only one who's getting a tad annoyed with the creeping 'text speak' being used on Exeweb recently? OK, so perhaps I'm getting on a bit, but we're not paying by the length of the message and I, for one, find it very difficult to read!
