  1. He can't play when warm. He's a Coldplay type of guy.
  2. I'm flying over for the Sunderland away match in February. Hope to see you there Oskar.
  3. Official Site isn't too clear as yet re paying to watch Robins TV within the UK. However, if Swansea can do it, so can we. No doubt Robins TV will confirm tomorrow.
  4. Red button is via Sky football channel tonight. Picture is freezing every so often.
  5. He'll get his PA to do it!
  6. Don't forget that when there are multiple red button matches on the same night, you can record the game. This is beneficial for me as I prefer my Radio Brizz commentary via the City Robins TV radio subscription. Push the Record button after 7.40pm on your Sky remote, when on the Main Event/Football Sky channel. A pop up of games will reveal games available. Highlight City to record. The clever bit is to then synchronise the game with Radio Briz. As I am in Norn Iron, there is a delay of up to 30 seconds for the City Radio feed. Go into your planner after 7.40pm and access your recording. Simply fast forward until you see the ref blow his whistle to commence the game and press pause. Release pause when you hear the whistle on Radio feed....you might have to pause a couple of times but you will get it to sync.
  7. Slarti, never mind newsreaders doing that annoying 'thank you. You can add Geoff Twentyman to your rant. All the summarisers from other games are recorded via 5 Live yet he thanks them. I think you'll find that it is part laziness and part BBC protocol. If you watch BBC News, the presenter has to name check at the start who is going to talk. For instance.... Presenter: Over now to our reporter Slarti Bartflast who is at the Memorial Stadium. Slarti, why have Bristol Rovers decided to stop trading? Slarti: Because they're xxxx. (It's the next bit that gets me annoyed...) Presenter: Thank you. Slarti Bartflast there. In other news... WE KNOW WHO IT WAS. THE CAPTION SAID SO. THE PRESENTER NAMECHECKED SLARTI 5 SECONDS PREVIOUSLY.
  8. Have you not got a credit yet for the lack of Norwich commentary? Hopefully you contacted the correct email address for Robinstv. There are 2 email addresses but only one will be recognised for a refund.
  9. If you don't like support bands, They're the main offender.
  10. I was at the Stoke game. If Jay says it was a shot then someone needs to go to Specsavers!
  11. Indeed. The bloke who invented it, iirc, wanted to call it The Hobby but when patenting/copyrighting it was told he couldn't use that name. The Latin name for Hobby (as in the bird) is .....Subbuteo. He then suggested this name and got the rights. Clever bloke!
  12. The Singing Ringing Tree is a wind powered sound sculpture resembling a tree, set in the landscape of the Pennines, it is two miles (3.2 km) south of Burnley town centre. Yertiz. Courtesy of an album cover from my favourite UK Rock band....
  13. I cry very rarely. Going to bed after watching the match (I was a schoolboy back then) was one of those rare occasions.
  14. Phew! That's what I thought as well. He still went forward but didn't try to do anything overtly fanciful in the second half. The first goal reminded me of England v Poland WC qualifier in 1973. All Norman had to do was hoof it into the proverbial Row Z. He didn't and Poland scored. Whatever happened to Norman? Became one of Alan Dicks' best signings and where the word legend can be correctly used. If you don't know about the above mistake, yertiz. It is about 2 minutes after start but it's worth watching from the beginning.
  15. I thought the drinking culture had been outlawed by Nige?
  16. I've just watched Ambulance. Very enjoyable but I couldn't help but think Jake Gyllanhall is in fact LJ. Any other actors that look like former City footballers, please post!
  17. Wait till the French born player Doub Idoubidoo joins us in January. We already have a song for him!
  18. I think Dolly was threatening you with a ban as your post was in French! This would explain the misunderstanding. Mange tout Phil, Mange tout!
  19. And the Atyeo acoustics are able to change any mispronunciation to something more coherent!
  20. Well, it's 4.44pm which means that we're in danger of not losing today!
  21. Never a week goes by on OTIB when Stackridge isn't mentioned.
  22. I honestly read it as tears as in crying. Didnt make sense at the time of reading!
  23. That is the question. Never mind what William Shakespeare said about to be or not to be etc! What if we're neck and neck for automatic promotion, would the players want to leave when they can be part of something far bigger than just a transfer? Never mind girl power. Player power could prove invaluable. Imagine RG, in January, approaching Alex Scott, Tommy Conway or Antoine Semenyo or all three and offering them each a £30m transfer to a top 6 Premier club. What if they turned round and said that they want to play for BCFC next season in the top flight? Assuming that as the club are selling, each player traditionally would receive 10% of the transfer value. I said traditionally because no doubt contracts in the Championship have been tailored to factor this. If not, each player would get £3million! A sizeable signing on fee would be in place if the transfer percentage was not forthcoming. Where would Player Power stand with such personal financial immediate gain? The players could be loaned back until the end of the season so that we can get promoted. If I was one of the players involved, what a decision. Money and loan back? Stay? Go Now (original not Moody blues version)? Fortunately, I'm not one of the players!
