Plymouth have had rovers pants right down with this https://www.pafc.co.uk/news/2018/june/no-quarter-given/ 

Just to be pedantic, they are claiming quartered shirts, without taking exact measurements, I cannot be certain, but the lower segments certainly appear larger, hence not actually quarters.

Henbury Gas owns his own IT business, yet his website looks like a fisher price my first web site effort

 

http://www.cjcomputing.com/page2.php

I surprised anyone uses him judging by the state of that... not the best way to advertise how great you are in IT field.  I would  have thought anyone in any part of the It world would have more respect for their own business than serving that piece of junk web site up

I cannot believe that he has taken a phrase from The League of Gentlemen and adapted it on his front page, he really is a parody of himself.......

Totally agree,had my bro in law text me and he knows jack shid about boxing saying it was crap because there was no knockdowns or meaningful punches,I’m like flabbergasted that people see boxing as just that

Is it not the case for many sports, the intricate technical details are loved by those who have a deep understanding of the sport, those who have played and been coached, whilst the viewing spectacle for many needs to have some excitement, some flashy showmanship or some opening caused by an error.  Some European football games are often called boring, but they have been technically excellent.

Last nights fight wasn’t one for those that like explosive action, knockdowns, cutmen working overtime and slow mo’s of heads being snapped back by knockout punches, so I can understand the comments.  Maybe the media hype and the boxers own pre fight talk raise expectation amongst the general public, even if aficionados aren’t taken in by it.

Poor ref

I've got it 118 -112 for AJ but have probably been a bit generous

Think,it will be closer than that

Just now, joe jordans teeth said:

It’s interesting if you like boxing,if you want knockouts then no it isn’t 

I’m not convinced it’s a classic reference work for future generations....  especially that ref!!

Glad I’m watching this for free...... it’s not exactly scintillating 

All this bullshit is longer than the fight will be.....

Rovers fans will be delighted to hear that the confidentiality agreement between Rovers and UWE does not apply to delegates at the Coliseum Summit which was held in London this week. And even more so to learn that the elite group of executives who attended the junket can be trusted not to reveal details of those delicate negotiations which are taking place about the redevelopment of the Memorial Stadium.

If only we were all so privileged ...

Fallout of the breakdown of a deal

In any business, not all deals are meant to be a success. How to manage a situation when a deal doesn't go through? In this session, we will learn from the failed negotiations between Bristol Rovers and UWE, what went wrong and why the plug was eventually pulled, and how did Rovers handle the consequences and fallout of the breakdown of the deal. We'll also get a peek into the alternative action plan the club is working on at the moment.

That must have been like getting to a cup final for him, a few successful stadium executives there, they must have been mightily impressed with the tales of a ramshackle club and its failures.  I wonder if the networking got him any funding?

Not sure how good Whyte was, Browne looked like a hard man street fighter against a trained boxer, Browne lacked skill, stamina, condition, technique and structure- not sure how fights like this benefit boxing.

That was coming, what a mismatch

How many wild haymakers...

Looks nothing like a boxer, shocking

Browne looks like when he isn’t in the ring fighting he’s chopping up and getting rid of bodies for the mafia 

By eating them.....  not the most toned boxer I’ve ever seen

Is it just me that thinks she looks like she should be in a dodgy porn film with those glasses on......
