Well...no since this is from the Football League awards and Blackburn aren't in the Football League.

[Lineker]

Yet.

I think the one SSN were talking about was an LMA one then.

I think the one SSN were talking about was an LMA one then.

The LMA are probably just happy that a team has stuck with a poorly performing manager for so long. Of all the awards they do though surely Manager of the Year is one you really cannot decide until the end of the season? Managers should be judged on their final league position really.

Obviously none of the managers like him or pay any attention to his exploits

Well, that doesn't bother me. Other managers can ignore him as long as they like.

I'm sure we just had a goal disallowed because a defender fouled Becchio

From Oldham's website:

Filipe Morais has been ruled out of Latics' npower League One derby at Rochdale this afternoon after being hurt in a road accident.

The forward was taken to the Royal Oldham Hospital suffering from concussion after the three-vehicle accident which happened this morning on Sheepfoot Lane close to Boundary Park

Keep logging on to Latics' official website for further updates

2-0 against Brentford

Suck it, West London!

[Lineker]

As things stand, we have a new leader in the Championship. Reading, seemingly buoyed by the news that Southampton trail at Millwall, have raced into a 2-0 lead at Barnsley after the break, courtesy of goals from Jobi McAnuff and Jem Karacan.

LUCIAAANOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, LUCIAAAANOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO costs less than Berbatov and he scores more goals

[Matt]

Jesus Christ, we need to learn to defend balls into the box.

Burton Albion have sacked manager Paul Peschisolido after the they suffered their sixth successive league defeat.

[Adam]

You can't have one sustained bad run as a football manager now I'm afraid. I like Peschisolido, always have so hope he gets another job in the game soon.

[Matt]

They also haven't won in 14, apparently, so I guess that's fair enough.

A professional footballer remains "heavily concussed" in hospital after being involved in a car crash in Greater Manchester.

Oldham Athletic's Filipe Morais was involved in the crash on Sheepfoot Lane while travelling to the club's ground ahead of their game with local rivals Rochdale on Saturday.

Greater Manchester Police said two other cars had been involved.

A club spokesman said he did not know when Morais would be leaving hospital.

"He is in hospital and is heavily concussed," he said.

The club's manager Paul Dickov said after the game with Rochdale, which Oldham lost, that the Portuguese forward had also suffered "quite severe whiplash".

Morais had been due to start for Oldham in the game.

An elderly man who was also involved in the crash was treated for minor injuries at the scene.

Oh I know, it's certainly a lot more acceptable a dismissal than some of the nonsenses carried out by chairmen this season don't get me wrong.

[Lineker]

Macclesfield have asked manager Gary Simpson to step down.

[Lineker]

Yup, he's gone. Brian Horton will be in charge until the end of the season.

[Lineker]

Rotherham United have sacked manager Andy Scott after less than a year in charge.

Could metalman be reached for comment?
