  1. Just one more point I'd like to mention is that commentators here often remark about people leaving the game before the final siren, but if the game has already gone over time by approx 30 mins or whatever the case may be, then a lot of those that leave early have to, to connect with their transport home.
  2. In Aussie Rules footy the clock is stopped at every stop in play, everytime the ball goes out of play etc, etc, then resumed when play starts. I have no problem with this but it can lead to up to 10mins extra per quarter, which is a considerable time when transport etc has to be considered.
  3. So you are Lincoln from Stockwood eh ?
  4. Only "The War Office" & my Dr are allowed to look at my details

  6. The Test Pattern (anyone remember that?) would be better than love Island
  7. My missus put the mockers on those thoughts years ago
  8. I'm so glad you mentioned that, whenever its been suggested that has been my thoughts, totally agree
  9. I was fortunate to get his autograph in the 60's before I left for Oz & was taken by how friendly he was to everyone. Little did I realise what a City "Legend" he would become. RIP Chris
  10. Agreed & the way our academy is turning out players it could well be on a regular basis
  11. To be honest the names are familiar but it was 60 years ago now (I'm now mid 70's) & details are a bit thin in the brain. Names that do stick with me from my rugby days are Brian & John Gee (twins) & Tony Shardlow (good at most sports), I'm sure other names will come back in flashes but at the moment not many. The joys of getting old eh
  12. That brings back good memories, I had a couple of games at Bristol Rugby in the early to mid 60's alongside John Pullin & David Mann before motor bikes & girls got priority. I often wonder what if..........................................................
  13. I'm 75 & still get told to "Grow Up" by "The War Office"
  14. To be fair, we didn't really want "half decent" defenders but I'm with you on the "crazy money" even if it was the going rate
  15. We had a promising manager that did a Runner also..............................think his name was Steve..................
