Trying to find any football on the TV today and I can't find anything other than Wales or Ireland playing ? Isn't there any games on tv today from Division One or Two ?

There normally is during international breaks but doesn't appear so this time.

I would have snapped your hand off for something at Hull,so really pleased we got a point.Eaves had to score for them,and they were unlucky not to go 2-0 up when they hit the bar and it bounced on the line.We kept going and equalised through Lee who came on as a sub.We were so unlucky not to nick it at the end when Samuel’s touch didn’t go over the line.Pleased with a point,and hopefully we can build on it at home to Wigan.

We show we can run with the big dogs, our recent results against teams like Lincoln , Ipswich, and Hull show that,but we seem to have a bit of a habit of taking our foot of the gas when we play teams at the bottom of the table. Time for peddle to the metal, red and blues blazing and lets thump the Wiggys,we need to score a hat full to help our goal difference that's looking pretty bleak. GO GILLS.
