As revealed in October, LTLF has secured and conducted an interview with BBC Radio Nottingham’s Pitchside Commentator, Robin Chipperfield. I posed your questions to him, and the answers make most interesting reading.
Respect is something that has to be earned
Posted in: Articles - Season 2008/09, General football
The FA very grandly trumpeted their new ‘respect’ campaign earlier this year. Notionally they wanted to improve player behaviour (and that of ‘pushy parents’!!) at grassroots level. The more public face of this was high profile endorsement by famous respecters of referees and their like (sic), John Terry. It’s why we seem […]

Posted in: Articles - Season 2008/09, General football
Sympathy this morning to our neighbours across the Trent following the sad news of Jimmy Sirrel’s passing.
Mr Sirrel was best known for leading Notts County in an unlikely charge up the Football League in the 1970s. He was also briefly manager of Sheffield United, before returning to Meadow Lane for more against-the-odds success in the […]

Now like many football fans I operate the fence hopping position, let me explain; things […]
Director of football, director of demise?
Posted in: Articles - Season 2008/09, General football
Is there no place for a director of football in England? Recent situations such as Alan Curbishley’s tenuous position at West Ham and Kevin Keegan’s at Newcastle would appear to have already answered the question.
The Beautifully Lucrative Game
Posted in: Articles - Season 2008/09, General football
Now like many people across the country, I am someone who takes great interest in perhaps one of, if not the greatest football league in the world; the Premiership. The level of football is often sublime; the atmosphere at the games electric and on top of all of that, the number of superstars present in […]
