Well bonehead, they had to choose SOMEONE upon whom to bestow the evil curse!  We still haven't recovered from when John Rains was given the accolade in August 05...and he's not even with us any more! |

Well at least I feel a little more secure because our manager was a joint winner. Poor old Ian Bowling at Worksop (ex-certain town in the E Midlands goalie who fractured his skull in a game against Tiverton in our DMPL winning season) shared the Conf North 'accolade'.

There's no escaping the Curse, I'm afraid. It certainly put a bit of the hex on SCFC a couple of months ago...  And don't think that diluting it by sharing it around will help either. Just like a virus, the more you spread it, the more people it taints...  You have been warned! |

It sounds like the Unibond Club of the month award, for the second month running we have just missed out on it but the team which gets it is cursed. We got it for August but were lucky, all we lost was the FA Cup.....and two players to suspension. |

Can you please help, Giggy, young pal, and post the link to the Unibond Premier Forum, as I can't seem to find it easily.... Bummer about your losing the FA Cup though, since, once lost, it's lost for a twelvemonth....  |

As far as I can tell there isn't an official forum, there is an unofficial forum on NLZ which is fairly active though, that's prettymuch the only one I know of since Pyramid Portal pretty much collapsed in on itself taking its Unibond section with it. www.nonleaguezone.com/viewforum.php?f=16&sid=c75b34de0d59c3311bd1364462538677We're used to it with the FA Cup, since reforming our record as been poor to say the least, first year we went straight out in the preliminaries away to underdogs Horden CW 0-1. The year after a promotion got us to start in 1st Qualifying, after a 1-1 draw at home we travelled away for a nervy 3-2 win after extra time. We then went out in the 2nd qualifying round away to Nuneaton Borough 1-3......and our goal was an own goal! This year it was straight out to Haleswoen 2-4 at home in the 1st Qualifying round. Wing-backs Dean Craven and Lee Vaughan both seeing red mid-way through the 1st half for a hand-ball and violent conduct respectively. We don't do much better in the trophy but I won't bore you with the details of that as of yet. We need to get back to the success of the old club with several giant killer victories in the cup ad a 5th round tie with Everton in the 80s and 5 FA Trophy finals, 3 of which were victories. All long before I saw my first match of course. |

I'm sure I've done enough bemoaning of Sutton's recent FA Cup record on this forum. A proud history of reaching the Third and Fourth Rounds Proper, etc etc, and suddenly in 1995 I went to my first game (an FA Cup 1st round replay) and since that day we have not once reached the first round. In fact, for each of the next four seasons we lost 1-0 away in the 4th qualifying round to teams we should have beaten (apart from Cheltenham in 1997, who WERE the better team and although we played brilliantly that day and even made me feel a bit proud they deserved their 1-0 win) |

Being sh*t always covered the early cup exits for me but really, it's the curse of John Rains and the FA Cup. Even when he played he didn't have much luck in the FA Cup and as far as i know the management has been no exception. I know the last defeat was with Hazel but to be fair to him, it was his first go |

Should probably refrain from doing this until after the Hayes game tonight; but it would apear at this early stage that the curse of greatness aimed at Bairdy has been deflected by the man's super-human powers. Of course, if we lose at Ha Yes! then it will be because his powers have been weakened by the curse! |
