  1. The problem may well be that certain players in various squads have the virus and the players would not like to come into contact. They are like anyone else and will have extended families who are trying to stay safe.
  2. I was so excited I had to take a heart pill! An exceptional fight by both men.
  3. Maybe this chap could have a pugilistic future? http://video.dailymail.co.uk/preview/mol/2017/04/28/74334497240170491/636x382_MP4_74334497240170491.mp4
  4. Young mobile hungry footballers - they have embarked upon the same youth policy as us but are a year or two further into the process! Is the ref a Northerner?
  5. Almost certainly he will have good private treatment in the best hospital in Bristol and with the best surgeon. There will be no waiting list!
  6. Bellew has no chance whatsoever - but will get a great payday - and a very sore head!
  7. I cannot help liking him! He was sometimes a wonderful fighter and sometimes he frustrated - but he was always his own man and unique. I can see that he must be a pain in the arse to deal with and that the promoters are used to dealing with pushovers and not a man who still carries the hurt of being short changed when he was an active boxer.
  8. He is clearly disturbed but I would be sad to see him go because he is an entertainer - sadly, more so outside the ring than inside. He clearly has talent and if he does retire I feel the division will be the poorer without him. Hopefully his team will help him to rehabilitate himself so that he can come back and compete once more.
  9. Blackburn score a large proportion of their goals from set plays and Alby is good at defending! As the defenders tire in the last 20 minutes - we will rip them apart!! (I hope)
  10. It can't be watertight because I just read the news and wet myself!
  11. If there was widespread corruption then Septic Bladder must have been in the know - he has been in post for so many years.
  12. I think we will miss El Abd's height, pace, skill and passing ability at the back ;-0 Frankie is a great shot stopper but must be one of the smallest 'keepers in a City shirt since Mike Gibson - who was a much better player in my opinion.
  13. A 6ft 3in heaver up-front would be in keeping with SCs "Land of the Giants" reputation that he had at Cheltenham. If he also signed 6ft Myrie Williams then I assume he would not play Joe or Bobby very often. That would seem to run counter to at least one of the five pillars. I, for one, think that Bobby and Joe are two of our best players and the only local lads in the team. If we don't push these two talents then why bother with an academy?
  14. There must be more to this than meets the eye because it looks like an obviously stupid move. SOS was making progress with huge limitations to his budget. We will have to pay a year of his wages to get rid of him and the new coach will want further turnover of players. Backroom staff will be likely to leave and need to be replaced. All this costing money from a budget that is hugely limited by the 60% cap. If this is just a knee jerk reaction because of results then the board are the ones in the wrong. SOD had the ability to recruit on a budget and it is easy to forget that many of his team are in their first full season of league football. SOD had given hints about this - so it might have been in the offing for a long time. Maybe Gary is coming back??
  15. That's cool - surely a small number of objections cannot stop anything........ (Tin hats...)
  16. That is very sporting of you!! Thank you. Likewise - if you would like a lift to the games, I usually go very early to be sure of my favourite parking space and to be ready for a quick getaway after the match. I think my email is on the link.
