  1. Timewasting I would think.... He went to get the ball for a goalkick, but stopped to relieve himself that could took ages.
  2. I haven't followed it that closely as regards to where players play at club level recently, but there was a time when U21s almost all seemed to come from the Championship. Was Brennan Johnson playing U21s last season? Tomori? If so I don't think it's a barrier, Southgate has been quoted saying he would even pick senior team players from the Championship if he thought they were good enough
  3. I think the club should take a leaf out of Pompey's book and offer 20/19/18 game season tickets and so on. That way you will hit people's sweet spot at some point, and the attendances will build up over that period between now and Xmas.
  4. Do we think he might get moved up an age group at international level this time around?
  5. Not making it easy for me are they? I still think the next three will be the test, I would fancy us in all the games individually, but all in the same week means reaching and maintaining a very high level. At least we have a good break after (except for those on international duty).
  6. I like his consistency, the front three have done their jobs so even a star like Antoine now has to wait his turn, it must make a lad like Conway feel ten feet tall. Anyway..... Perhaps we can get the club to play this at games?
  7. https://www.brfcs.com/forums/topic/36330-v-bristol-city-h-3922/ Nice to see so many positive comments about us in their match day thread. It starts with the usual positivity about their own team, but once the game starts posts start to emerge saying how good we are. Perhaps more surprisingly they pick out individuals who are playing well. They have their own 18 year old midfield player (Wharton) whom they rate highly, but they point out that Scott is "next level" in comparison. They also make the point that he is paired with experience in James rather than another teenager (Morton). All in all it's a pleasant read, not at all one-eyed and makes s change from complaints about "game management", biased refs etc.
  8. The way we have set up has taken some pressure off him. By pushing him further forward and having Atkinson coming over into a left back position, he is less susceptible to those long diagonal balls that teams were using to expose his lack of height. It means he can concentrate on his strengths.
  9. They do realise that time is added on for that sort of thing?
  10. The whole thing is a bit odd. The downpipe doesn't appear to above a drain, so I think that when they realised the design flaw that they have had to add that trip hazard to the bottom of it to stop water gathering and seeping under the door.
  11. They didn't for Wycombe in the cup.
  12. Do You Want Me -- The Roosevelt's
  13. It's all a case of how the public wants to perceive people I think. Going back to the days of Jerry Lee Lewis marrying his 13 year old cousin, Bill Wyman and the Mandy Smith affair, Pete Townshend accessing a child porn website, or even George Michael and his cottaging exploits. Wyman and Michael even made songs and videos glorifying their activity. These were all above the level of allegation and yet, apart a bit of lull initially, there was no real damage to their careers. They were all popular before and the public seemed ready to forgive them, of course this was mostly early days of Social Media, so maybe that's the difference.
  14. Well it was ******* amazing on many levels. Apart from one or two oblique references we were able to put those allegations to one side for 2 and a bit hours. I sort of understand @Silvio Dantes reservations and if and when these allegations go further then I will consider how I feel about them at that point. I have to say though that while there may be other AF fans who feel the same as him, there were plenty there tonight who seemed in a more forgiving mood. Opening the show with Rebellion (lies) seemed important, what certainly sounded like a heartfelt "thanks for turning up, I can't tell you how much it means especially now" and then what seemed to be a very personal cover of Bittersweet Symphony, it was a show like any other.
  15. Are the WBA players being introduced to eachother?
  16. Well I am here now, it's going to feel weird, but at this point they are just allegations and there have been many unfounded allegations against many of stars over the course of my life most of which disappeared into the ether over the course of time. Win may not have that luxury with the Internet, but as far as I can see there hasn't been any kind of police investigation so far.
  17. He means more than 9, with the rest watching dodgy streams in the car park.
  18. https://eu.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2022/08/28/arcade-fire-win-butler-accused-sexual-assault/7924912001/ His support act, a Canadian singer called Feist has now pulled out of the tour.
  19. My wife and I are off to Birmingham tonight to see Arcade Fire. They are something of a bucket list band for me as I have wanted to see them for years, but they usually play festivals which I don't like at all. My issue is that I don't quite know what to make of the allegations against Win Butler and how that will affect the show. I know that you can find quotes on line of people saying that they aren't going, but I keep thinking that so far he only has been found guilty in the "Twittersphere" where it seems allegations are enough these days. The incidents happened a few years back when he apparently was in a dark place, his wife is supportive and apparently knew most of the alleged incidents, as they have always had an open relationship and everyone was of the age of consent, although younger than him but he says everything was consensual. 4 allegations so far, which again I feel like is about average for what you could find about any male popstar over a 20 year career if you were looking, there must be a few people who have had some sort of fling with a famous person, and then perhaps regretted it, or realised their reason for doing it was influenced by the position of the person. It doesn't take a great leap to get to "he used his influence" for some people. I am wondering why now though? And I am wondering how it's going to feel when he comes out stage, or even "if" they will perform at all. Such a shame, so much great music potentially ruined.
  20. That must be old, when was the last time they beat Pompey at home?
