The fallout from the Manchester United v Liverpool hate-fuelled game yesterday continues. It has been revealed that yesterday morning Police swooped to confiscate every copy of the Manchester United fanzine Red Issue, which contained a cut-out image of a Luis Suarez Klu Klux Klan mask. Greater Manchester Police stated that they carried out the action [.

Given I only get to the ground about ten minutes before kick-off, I missed the opportunity to buy the latest edition of Red Issue which went on sale today. Why? Because the GMP, without receiving a single complaint, deemed the picture on the back page "potentially offensive" so went about confiscating it and threatening the sellers with arrest.

Police have confirmed that the confiscated all of the copies of the United fanzine, Red Issue, that were floating around outside Old Trafford today which featured cut-out 'Suarez Is Innocent' Ku Klux Klan masks for United fans to hold in front of their faces to bait Liverpool as the teams emerged from the tunnel.

January was another interesting month at the Lamex Stadium. After an unbeaten December and with Stevenage now in the shake up for the League 1 play-offs, Graham Westley was a wanted man. GW and his team were snapped up by Preston North End after weeks of uncertainty over his future. A new era has begun at Stevenage with Gary Smith appointed as the new manager.

A Damien Stewart own goal was enough to earn Stevenage a place in the 5th round of the FA Cup for the first time in their history and gave Gary Smith a winning start as Boro manager.

Gary Smith is the new Stevenage manager. It doesn't come as any surprise that Smith has been appointed as he has been the favourite for the position over the last week or so. He was even in the main stand watching his new side beat play-off rivals MK Dons 4-2 earlier tonight. News of his appointment broke soon after and the Harlow born coach is set to be the man given the task of replacing Graham Westley and continuing Boro's promotion push.

Karl Robinson and his Milton Keynes Dons side make the short journey down to the Lamex tomorrow night in what could be a pivotal match as both sides look to cement their position in the League 1 play-off positions. MK Dons sit one place above Stevenage going into the game, although the Dons are 5 points clear with the bonus of a game in hand.

In what was a disappointing game somewhat dictated by the poor weather conditions, Stevenage came away with a well-earned point thanks to a late goal from substitute Darius Charles. Scunthorpe had taken the lead early in the second half when Garry Thompson latched onto a through ball from Mark Duffy and shot past Chris Day.

Stevenage are on the road again this weekend as they make a trip up to Glanford Park to face Alan Knill's Scunthorpe United. Boro are still managerless after Graham Westley's departure last Friday, but they will be confident going into the game after a run of 10 away games in all competitions without defeat.

As soon as Graham Westley had parked his Bentley into the car park at Deepdale, bookmakers online were offering odds on who will be the next manager to step into the Broadhall Way hotseat. It's arguably the best management position currently on offer in the Football League. Stevenage sit 6th in the League 1 table, are still in the FA Cup and have a squad full of young, hungry players with room to improve even further.

It's a story that has dominated the club over the past 10 days or so. Rumours began flying round that Preston were interested in Graham Westley just a couple of days before the 3rd round FA Cup tie against Reading. At first it just seemed to be rumours. But the rumours didn't stop. Instead, they just gathered pace and it became clear at the beginning of the week that Preston were not only interested in Westley, but that Westley was interested in Preston.

November was another strong month for the Boro. Another "giant" was put in their place.

Another one of League One's elite were beat at the Lamex. Goals from Mark Roberts and Scott Laird were enough to give Graham Westley's side the 3 points as they continued to push up the table.

A Chuks Aneke goal was enough to give a young Arsenal side victory in what was a tight affair in Hertfordshire. Arsenal may have used the game to give their youngsters a run out against an experienced League side, but for Boro, the game acted as another step towards getting to tip-top condition ahead of the Exeter game, just two weeks away on August 6th.

Having fallen into the football supporter's trap of self obsessed navel gazing it's time to redress the balance.
Amid the fun or pain to be had, depending on your persuasion, of watching Hibs suffer a massive, institutional mental breakdown, we shouldn't forget the role that Ayr United played last night.

LONDON, England The Football Association will launch an investigation after a Stevenage player was punched by a fan while celebrating the shock FA Cup victory against Newcastle. Defender Scott Laird was floored by the blow following the final whistle as the League Two side celebrated their 3-1 win over their Premier League opposition.

It's been a long time in coming, but Stevenage finally got back to winning ways yesterday afternoon after comfortably beating Barnet 4-2 at Broadhall Way.

I've just got enough time to get a quick preview done before I head off to the ground. Barnet are the visitors to Broadhall Way today, just over 2 months ago since we beat them 3-0 at Underhill. A lot has changed since that Tuesday night in early November. We haven't won a game in the league since, whilst Barnet have now parted company with former Boro boss Mark Stimson.
