Plymouth is lovely  My daughter was at uni there and I used to visit her regularly. I knew Plymouth pretty well before she went there and it’s a great place..

We almost moved there with work about 30 years ago but circumstances at that time dictated that we ended up not going

A more balanced view of the place! I was born in plumduff and moved up here when I married a lovely young lady from Bedminster, it's a bit of a story as to why I support City!

Like any town/city it does have it's rough areas 

It'll funny to hear the chant 'you dirty northern b@5tards' again

They also have an inbuilt hatred towards Swindon as a supporter was killed during a fight there in 87.

No

No play today at Taunton

I know not exactly on topic, admin please remove if you feel it does, does anyone else umpire in the local leagues?

Having a right moan about this, notice the RB, out of shot when the ball is played and he's not appealing when the ball hits the net, 100% playing the goal scorer onside.

 No Scran

I've got F1 commentary with the game

Ban overhead kicks you say?

Coming through!!

Can someone tell me how to find the red button on IPTV please?

OTD again!! Sorry but I was there!!

Ran over RT and seemed to run right towards us, what a few days that was, absolutely freezing on gameday as well,

Oh and some band called 'The Stones' turned up at halftime

The last football, SB XXXVI call by Madden and Summerall, they made the game for me in the 80's, fantastic commentary.

I was devastated when C4 decided to call SB XXI themselves, John Smith, Shula and?, and not use Madden and Summerall but not as devastated as  when C4 decided to use the Vicious Boys to present the show

Fight!!

Probably the worse paly call in the history of the SB

The black ones I suspect are Chicago and Pittsburgh. That leaves Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals?

Yep the Cardinals

A bit off topic, I came across this, helmet throwback from 1994 season.

Only one i got stuck with was the all white helmet

Just to put things into perspective, not my words BTW

Ben Stokes has had a night out, been arrested, cleared of affray, served an ECB ban, won an ODI World Cup, played one of the great Test innings, won a T20 World Cup, become Test captain, & retired from ODIs in the time between Moeen Ali's last two ODI scores of fifty or more

Philly and the Bungles for the SB.

Useless fact of the day, Stetson Bennett, Georgia QB who won the National Championship is older than both starting QB's in the NFC Championship game.

OTD 1980

Steelers win their 4th SB

I remember highlights of the games, Dickie Davies World of Sport

Wow what a night!!

And OTD 1967

It must be a tough place to run a high tech project though. If you were in a city centre it would feel all business and focussed on the job at hand, every detail counts. Take it down to Cornwall and it probably feels like 'whatever, maybe I will correct that dodgy wiring tomorrow, let's get down to the beach for some fresh air and chill out, who has the beer?'

They did well to get the 747 off the ground if you ask me.

The new setup, so it should be fine next time.

And as a side note at one point it wasn't as backward as it is now the US used to routinely store nuclear weapons there, back in the day it was a good place to watch as you'd got odd planes in, P3 Orions, Mirages, F4's, F1-11's, A6's E6's,  I've got a good mate who's family farm sits right at the bottom of the runway, his dad was a massive Concorde fan and had a few Concorde seats, during the annual airshow he'd get them out and we'd sit in them in the garden watching the show

Cornwall doesn't have a good record with space in the 21st century, the attempt for the highest balloon ascent into the edge of space ended in failure.

More pasties needed.

Meanwhile in Hartcliffe

36yrs ago today, anyone else remember the hit on Montana by Jim Burt, with Montana waking up in a different time dimension

And an interception return by the greatest player in the history of the game
