While I would support what you're saying, that 'idea' is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this context.

Whereas a rumouration is just a thread on the transfer forum.

I'll answer my own question. Yes it is just me. Especially if you don't sign in on the website, it won't let you buy a ticket.

When I go to choose my seat I am getting 'This event is no longer for sale' Is it just me?

Here is a clip from the programme talking about dealing with his stutter. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/60870112

Not sure if the T-shirts they’re wearing say ‘No to war’ or No to VAR’.

Not enough ‘likes’ in the pot for this. What a great post. Thanks for posting this coming from one who finds the situation so depressing and frustrating. Not enough ‘likes’ in the pot for this.

You learn something on OTIB every day. Thanks for the tip. Like an idiot I’ve avoided the Post because it's virtually unreadable with all the ads.

Was only guessing at the wages, a quick search of websites quoting football salaries suggests they're guessing as well. https://salarysport.com/football/sky-bet-championship/bristol-city/ for instance, has Danny Simpson on £15000 a week (£780,000 a year, after checking my maths) The general point I was trying to make was how poorly the overpaid players we have coped with the last 15 minutes of the game last night, Kalas's last ditch defending apart. The amount of space given to a poor Reading team was absurd.

It’s a sign of the times that a low wage is £5000 a week. Maybe we should start quoting the wages as an annual figure, £260,000 a year for a little used right back seems a tad excessive to me. And exactly what were the other £1 million and £2 million a year headless chickens doing for the final 15 minutes last night. Other than decreasing my life expectancy by some margin.

I thought Cam Pring's booking was a sign of the kind of team we are becoming. Broke up a potential Cardiff break, somewhere near the centre circle so no real danger from the free kick. Took all the momentum out of Cardiff attack. I know in an ideal world we would all be super sporting and jolly hockey sticks but in the real world of professional football we need some of the sh1thousery to get anywhere.

He made it clear he wasn’t going to celebrate after his goal and then did a kind of half apology to the South Stand. Got a fair bit of applause from those around me. Thought that was nice touch all round. He’s a classy guy, although he did get booked for dissent in second half!

Good read Dave, thanks for posting. Good point you make about Nige being busy with ‘other stuff’ behind the scenes. He obviously knows how a football club works and would not have been surprised by the scale of the losses announced this week. I do have faith in our leader although it is a little blind faith given the lack of hard evidence on the pitch. He gets my backing at the moment because of the nuggets of common sense I hear in his interviews. Obviously all this will change at about 7.55 tomorrow night.

Thanks for the post about all the football stuff as usual J. Bean. But, much more importantly, how is the dog?

I would beg to differ on a couple of the markings. Massengo didn’t have a great game but deserved a higher mark than Vyner. (After every Vyner error, and there were a few, the guy in front of me would spit out his name with real venom VYNER.). And thought Tanner did better in the same position as Scott. On a minor nit-picking point, think the second Longman chance which landed on the roof of the net was while Scott was still on the pitch (may be wrong, it’s been known). Also, just wondering if our players are not getting high marks just because they’re not very good. Most may well be playing to the level of their abilities, it’s just that the level is not very high. The effort was certainly there yesterday if not the execution. Worth the 500 mile round trip for that second equaliser though. Was right in line with Matty James’ effort and saw the gap he had to aim through. And my feet have finally thawed out now.

Nice to see Scott and Benarous joining in the housery. Always hate it when it gets done to us. Made a pleasant change to see Stoke getting frustrated.

Get well soon Nige. Wishing you all the best. If you get any spare time please don’t wade through all the threads on here. Will not aid your recovery. Hope to see you back at AG before too long.

The good old Dolman salute

Looked on Bournemouth forum, they are planning a song for Brooks in the 7th minute. I think applause from us would go down well. We shouldn’t be more than a couple of goals down by then.

I think it’s a good idea. Maybe someone who knows more than me could coordinate with anything Bournemouth fans are planning.

Article from the Guardian on our Tammy (he's still ours really). https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/oct/06/id-recommend-it-englands-tammy-abraham-revitalised-by-move-abroad

He said after the Luton game that he was happy for Baker that he scored and also commented on Baker’s fitness levels.

It’s all very well making calm, logical, common sense posts but where will that get us? We were a couple of minutes and a goalkeeping error away from 3 points and also a completely different forum this morning. I realise everything is about ifs and buts, however maybe threads like this wouldn’t even have got started without Bentley’s rush of blood to the head (in an otherwise very good performance).

Just wanted to say thanks for posting all the goals on the matchday thread. Well, thanks for posting our goals anyway. The ones we have conceded with WTF defending I could have done without. I was going to wait until you posted today's first goal but may be waiting a while for that. COYR
