Match Night Live

Welcome to MNL for the eagerly awaited game against the Steelers its OJ on duty this evening

I have just had my first text saying that my texters are just about to leave the pub, should I be worried

Lets hope we enjoy the same success tonight as that unforgettable game against the Steelers on 24 April 1994

Amazingly there are two Devils playing tonight who also played in the 1994 epic

If you have memories of that game let me know by e-mailing matchnightlive@the-inferno.co.uk

We are getting ready to rumble

Any ideas on who we want as referee, it wont be Boniface or Darnell since they are engaged elsewhere

No Sue not to each other

I'm hoping the server can keep up with MNL tonight as I think its gtoing to be hectic

Rumour has it that the Devils pp has had a major service in the last 24 hours

Bookmakers have first penalty at 10-15 seconds

That is not a Devils record as I can recall John Burnicle getting a penalty at Romford during warm-up

Jacks are winning 1-0 at Burnley, so maybe they do love t6he Bluebirds after all
