  1. Before AG was redeveloped, Rovers had to switch to Sunday if there was a fixture clash, as AG was contracted to holding a Sunday market. It does seem to happen a bit more often these days, and I guess that the Police have a big influence as to whether it is necessary for the fixtures to be played on different days, and, which match should be moved. Maybe the overtime pay is bigger for working a Sunday match!
  2. Not great. My Mum passed away on Thursday, just 4 weeks before her 100th birthday.
  3. I thought that it was very good. Some of the things he said resonated with me, (although I've never had an addiction), particularly "it would probably be best if I just passed away" - I know that feeling so well, and it can be a constant battle. Looks like he has a lovely family, and hopefully he's sorted for good now.
  4. Thank you for asking. I've suddenly become very anaemic, and they are trying to find out the cause, a scan has hopefully ruled out the cancer having returned, I've been unvelieveably tired and short of breath. I had an iron infusion, which has helped. I've got to have the camera down the throat thing done, and also see the kidney people as my kidneys have gone back to stage 4 CKD, oh, and an Echocardiogram to check my heart. The scan showed that I have gallstones, although no symptoms. I'm still alive and kicking though, plenty to be thankful for.
  5. Ah, ok. Was just quoting what a Millwall fan had told me. If they were to do that, it does seem an odd game to implement it.
  6. It's a 50/50 split. If respect is shown for the recent passing of John Berlyson (and, I'm sure that it will), then the game should pass without incident. As others have said, usually one of the safer away games due to the routine they have for policing..
  7. With a population of over 5 million, I think that it's a bit of a sweeping statement to assume that you know what "the norm" is, regardless of which side of the fence you are on.
  8. My late Dad's family are from Dublin, two of his brothers fought for us in the war. When they came over here for a visit, one of the first things they always wanted to do was to visit the local British Legion. Maybe you should broaden your horizons a bit. I wouldn't have picked this message up if I was doing the checking, I'd be looking for prankster type messages, wishing Wayne Kerr a happy birthday etc. I wasn't aware that politically related messages were a thing at football. It could have been sent in by anybody, maybe not even a football fan, just somebody after publicity.
  9. Always gave 100% when he played in the quarters - can't ask for more. I thought it looks like a young Bradley Walsh - can't ever remember Stewie having a hairstyle like that.
  10. Spot on. It always amuses me when a set of fans point the finger at another club, because their fans have been involved in an "incident" - I don't think there's a club in the league that is entitled to throw the first stone. Sadly, I think that FV is on the increase, for quite a few years it was mainly a lot of shouting and gesturing between rival groups, seems to be an increase in actual physical exchanges in the last couple of seasons. Maybe the UK should introduce a "One Punch" law, which seems to have been effective in Australia.
  11. Too right - long may it continue, EFL have ruined what used to be a decent sideshow competition.
  12. The same thing happened to Millwall. They negotiated with the Administrator at Elite to buy the remaining Millwall kit which the supplietr still had in stock, so they were able to carry on selling to fans for a while (not quite the same as Coventry)
  13. Really feel for you, reading this. I hope that your wife is receiving good care, and will be home with you soon. My 99 year old Mum has had dementia for quite a few years, luckily it was slow progressing, and I hope that it will be the same for your wife. Make sure that you care for yourself as well. Best wishes.
  14. It wasn't in the first few days, it was when Twentyman did a lengthy interview with him on Having a Gas at the start of this season. GT is a professional broadcaster, and it's a question which I have occassionaly heard him ask other interviewees, I guess if you're speaking to somebody for an hour, you'd want to address them as per their preference. Maybe that's what the glasses are for, to project a Joe 90 image? ?
  15. When Twentyman first interviewed Barton, he asked whether he preferred to be called "Joey, Joe or Joseph". Barton told him that he prefers to be called Joe, hence GT always refers to him as such.
