At the last minute I decided to go watch Wednesday at MK Dons tonight, all I will say is the referee was one of the worst I had ever seen.

Game of the night at Loftus Road by some way. Great entertainment, and there was no way it was finishing goalless. I was gobsmacked we hadn't seen a team go into the break in front. It was end-to-end.

Robert Green still robbing a living.

Just saw the Cardiff highlights. What a game!

Leeds trip to Brighton in February moved to a Monday night game. Sky and the football league really do not give a **** about the fans, do they? A 500+ mile round trip.

John Still sacked as Luton Town manager. He was one of the longest-serving in the Football League, so that's a shame.

Good comeback from Hull last night against Reading.

McDermott back in charge at Reading for a second spell, it has been confirmed finally.

I would make a weekend of it down there, great nights out even if the football disappoints.

But still, fans will need time off work and that wouldn't be cheap. Also, assuming you come back Monday night you'd be lucky to be home before 3am.

Same problem for the Leeds fans tonight who have a fairly long trip to Wolves.

Ridiculous once more from TV chiefs. After the Exeter and Liverpool debacle, something needs to be done. It's so unfair on fans - and no wonder attendances are dwindling at some clubs.

about 35 minute car drive Milton Keynes is these days with the new by pass they built. Met up with a mate.

It's probably a thanks to sky for inventing football back in the 90's. But, yeah I don't think Brighton v Leeds has been played at Saturday 3pm since they moved to the Amex. Don't quote me on that, but I think it's correct.

Always bad for Football League clubs with high profiles. At least they localise Boxing Day matches to reduce fans travelling, but I can see that rule becoming archaic eventually.
