  1. An interesting article in "Private Eye" this week about dodgy football club owners. The final paragraph reads: "All the more reason to exercise scepticism about would-be club owners from faraway places with strange sounding names offering to finance fans' dreams."
  2. This crowd would give snake-oil salesmen a bad name.
  3. I lived (?) in 'Boro during the 1970s for two years though it felt like twenty and I can assure you that Barrow is Monaco compared to 'Boro.
  4. Well I was 24 in 1967 and I don't think I was getting my share of The Summer of Love! Come to think of it - not much has changed.
  5. I always enjoy Hav's articles and none more than today. I share his sentiments regading the criminals in charge of their country and have, during my travels, met many Russian "businessmen". Without exception I have found them ignorant, ill-mannered oafs who have lined their pockets while old ladies sit on Moscow streets selling their few remaining possessions in order to eat. Having got that off my chest - Hull 1, City 2.
  6. Would you buy a used car from any of them?
  7. The reason he stands on the terraces is that he cannot afford a stand seat.
  8. Surely the day when we see them on "Can't pay - take it away" cannot be far off. The only question is.....take what? Garden furniture? Camping goods? Portaloos? The mind boggles.
  9. And that terrible skin problem on his left arm!
  10. Sitting here at arms length one takes stock of the situation and it is difficult to see how the Gas can finish the season in their current form. Personally I do not wish them to go under - where else could we get this level of entertainment? But one should also take a wider view - surely a city the size of Bristol deserves more than one decent team. So, I hope they survive - as long as they are always below us (which seems likely).
  11. I watched on BCTV and, for once, saw most of the game. I have to say that I thought BC were brilliant - some of the best football I have ever seen in watching BC for nearly fifty years. I am talking about skill which, for so long, was pushed aside by effort. Today, skill was king. Long live skill!
  12. BOTH jacket buttons done up! Well, really!
  13. From what I saw before BCTV packed up, \i thought we looked pretty good.
  14. Sadly am missing tghe game due to the crap BCTV £110 service which is rubbish.
