Bolton 1-0 Blackpool (Checkatrade Trophy)

Sherpa van trophy.  I have my 89 cup final shirt.

Lets face it though, Nat is right and this is a bastardised version of it suited to give big clubs reserve teams a bit more of a test.  They will be introduced in the lower leagues soon like in spain

I don't want the comp scrapped, just the reserve teams removed.

If no one turned up for the games then the competition would be scrapped. It really is that simple.

Your own words, you are saying people should stay away and if they do the competition will be scrapped.

So are you arguing for the competition to be scrapped or just the U23 teams to be removed, as I said a bit more thought in your argument is needed.

awaiting next insult.

Both were non-violent nationalists, Gandhi for the independent Indian state and Malcolm X for the Black Nationalist movement.

King would be the odd one out if it weren't for the fact that both he and Gandhi sought to remain in their own country whereas Black Nationalism originally sought an independent state in Africa under the Marcus Garvey programme making Malcolm X the odd one out. 

WTF that's got to do with football is beyond me though.
