Ah but I've got all of the time in the world for teams like Forest Green Rovers and Cheltenham Town who are well run local sides, it's the knuckle draggers from a small part of this City who think they are bigger than the likes of Norwich who think the world owes them something but in reality nobody cares about them.

Being this close, and within a very good chance of getting into the top 6 especially with everyone back, would be annoying if we missed out because of this. But, it's still irrelevant really in the scheme of things.

Working properly - albeit I turned the phone off and on again before going out. Man it's hot out there now, but just clocked a PB for 0-5km at 24:16, bit of breeze down on the docks but other than that pretty unrelenting heat

THE DISAPPEARED Between 2016 and 2020 the majority of senior figures at Bristol Rovers FC vanished without trace leaving families mystified and fans completely unaware. Now, after minutes of painstaking research, former manager B J Tann has pieced together their harrowing tale. In his explosive best seller we learn how these innocent people were awakened by a midnight knock on the tent flap then whisked away to a patch of wasteland near Almondsbury never to be seen again. In the lower league football business asset refinancing activities are considered especially heinous. And when an elite group of dedicated executives attempted to expose such injustices they were made to pay a fearsome price. These are their stories.

I’ve just shaved a few seconds off my best mile - in the club im in we’re doing 3 mile runs and the last mile is as fast as you can - did 6.34 tonight down from 6.39, not as fast as the speedsters but going in right direction!!

Loyal and True they claim. The only thing they are loyal and true towards is Bullshitting.

Not being a military chap I was not aware. Best I did was a Seconder in Scouts before being kicked out for bad language.

Not sure you can totally blame the media, There has been a lot of good reports going around. As for your last line you could be talking about this Government.

Yep, that’s why the gov is saying we carried out over 177k tests over the last day but only on around 62k people ... this virus is very new and people need more than one test at the moment ... but that doesn’t stop plonkers like Piers Morgan exploding hysterically on social media about testing levels because he isn’t intelligent enough to realise that the number of tests doesn’t equate to the number of people tested ... he’s a scaremongering **** and the media as a whole need to take a long, hard look at themselves after this, they have been appalling and abysmal throughout...

You don’t seem to trust any figures, why endorse these??!!

Imagine getting promoted ( let's not forget we've not been great this season) and not being there to see it. If it finishes it doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'd struggle to get excited seing us get promoted in an empty stadium. Football"s all about experiences for me.

Or we could put it down to Pablo Hernandez's 26th minute opener on the first game of the season, to which went on to lose 1-3, if only other teams didn't score against us eh! All IF's and buts.

I can't see the logic but could well be true and there could be other surprises too.

Was only thinking about that the other night. It is understood / rumoured (?) that both Leeds and West Brom want to continue.

If the season is curtailed, City will rue the goal conceded in the 84th minute against Fulham as being the moment that we missed out on the play offs...

Absolutely. We are in a great position and who knows with a bit of luck etc. Obviously more important things going on like you said.

That is a hypothetical situation though rather than the one we are faced with currently and a decision on it would depend on a number of factors i.e. At what point in the season are we when this second wave / new virus hits? Obviously the earlier in the season we were the greater length of time you have to play with in terms of condensing the remaining schedule What government imposed restrictions are we under? If its a new virus is it more deadly than this one and therefore a more severe lockdown required? Is it as easily transmissable therefore reducing the risk of passing it on between players and coaching staff etc? How long a shut-down period are we looking at? If its 1 month then probably not, if its 6 months then probably. Has the football league already been restructured by this hypothetcial situation to take into account the clubs that could be lost due to the current outbreak? If so there could be less games to worry about and make finishing in this instance more likely There would no doubt countless other variable's to consider so to say that whatever decision is arrived at in this pandemic (or wave of) would be the hard and fast rule for any future outbreaks is never going to be the case. My view on this current season is based on the known factors currently in play.

For me its both. The scaremongering from the media from the very start has been beyond hysterical, and has frightened the life out of society in a way that it will be difficult to ever get back to true normality. As for the government, well they had a duty to protect our most vulnerable, and they have failed miserably. What has happened in the care homes is a national travesty.

Thought I’d compare Strava with Endomondo (which I used to use all the time) this morning to see if any difference in data. Strava clocked me at 4.46 miles whereas Endomondo said 4.32 miles. Average pace Per mile on Strava was 11:05 (yep, slow!!) and Endomondo was 11:49 (even slower ffs) despite starting and stopping them at the same time. Strava’s mile splits also seem out, as it says my 1st and 2nd miles were identical times, and the 3rd and 4th. BUT Strava says I burnt more calories. So I definitely prefer Strava ?

Birmingham canal navigation's = 100 miles of canals...the Venice of the midlands........?

I think you do them a disservice. Let's not forget that before all the Coronavirus effects took hold, they'd had 600 (six HUNDRED) people splash their hard earned JSA on a season ticket for next season...!

Looks like Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel over at Derby wants the season voided.....despite being in the playoff hunt in his opinion. Looks like the FFP police are calling round again and with Reading, Sheffield Wed and Derby in their sights, the current bottom three are pushing for points deduction!!

I’m sure you knew it was Jim Bowen really ...

Yawn ******* yawn. Does anyone really care anymore? When you sell your soul somebody, one day, somebody will come calling. Time to crap or get off the pot
