I think they mean frame sizes.An esoteric footballing term that I've not encountered before. Does it involve keeping pigeons?

Leicester v Leeds in the reindeer cup ( caraboa )or whatever it's now called . Bit of banter with @Supersuperleeds coming up on weekend ride 
.At least they sold Chris Woods I'd would have put money on him scoring against us. Come on you Foxes

I was discussing the caribou cup with a friend on Monday. We agreed that it should go back to the good old days of being sponsored by something totally nondescript.
Grass or potatoes were our favourites.

Might wear my Leeds top on Sunday. Though it does have a dirty oil mark on it that I can't get rid off. Dirty Leeds

A story with a touch of Roy of the Rovers about it at Goodison Park yesterday.
Our poor start to the season seemed to be continuing as our slow, narrow, impotent football predictably failed to trouble Bournemouth who were 1-0 up.
Cometh the hour, cometh the frozen out man. Oumar Niasse, previously treated appallingly by the club after a poor start to his Everton career (not given a squad number last season, nor a training locker and told by Ronald Koeman he had no future and that if he wanted to play football, to go and find another club), was introduced as a substitute, played havoc with the Bournemouth defence, scored the equaliser, then the winner and lifted the roof off Goodison.
Had it not been for the failure to sign a forward to replace Lukaku, Niasse wouldn't have been in the squad, never mind on the bench.
Hands up, I have to admit, I was one of the many of little faith, who thought he was useless. Sometimes humble pie tastes quite nice, I hope yesterday wasn't an isolated flash in the pan and Niasse continues his comeback. @Dec66, fair play to you, I recall you challenging me when I said Oumar was Niaffe, hope he continues to reward your faith.

MOTD was up you its usual bias last night.
Plenty of 'analysis' of Alonso's theatrics (he was an idiot to be fair) but not even a mention, or indeed any footage, of Crouch's dreadful tackle that should have seen him receive a straight red.
Had that been eg Luiz the full weight of the Beeb's footballing inteligencia would've been unleashed.
An almost unwatchable show that desperately needs a makeover.

Does my head in these days. A few minutes of highlights followed by guys drawing wee arrows on a screen. It's almost insulting the way they simplify everything. Still, it's not as bad as Sportscene which is possibly the worst football show ever made.

Mixed fortunes this week, although I reckon it would be safe to say that Forfar are not going to bring much joy this season
Hobs won 1-0 away to Ross County
Forfar went down 3-0 away to East Fife
In the amateur game, we won 3-2 away to move within 3 points of the top of the league; next week, it's a cup semi-final

We'll see at the end of October when you get a right POSH thrashing !!!
Yes you've had a good start as well. I fully expect us to have a dip at some stage, as we are overachieving, but it's great to be half way to safety already!!

It's pro LFC bias was evident again today as well, on MOTD 2 Extra, or whatever it's called. Talking about some of the performances so far, they referred to City beating Liverpool 5-0, but of course that can't be considered a realistic result (or words to that effect) because Sadio Mane was sent off, you don't hear qualifications for other teams weeks after the event, from the BB(LF)C.
