Get the refs mic'd up and we can at least hear why they have or haven't gave a decision.

Not sure we would. I'd imagine refs would simply wave players away saying the decision has been made. With no explanation given on the pitch.

Maybe sent to supporters who have expressed an interest in the women's team. I've had multiple mails maybe as a season ticket holder. Anyway it's a bargain at full price anyway. Title decider.

The 50% offer was also advertised on the local Pigeon free paper. So not that exclusive an offer.

I'm going and will be taking my kids to their first game at the Gate. 

Why do we mumble* the substitutions for the away team? Always sounds a bit amateurish to me. He doesn't need to hype them up, just say their names clearly. 

* Dolman PA jokes aside!

Or a Barking station underground sign. In honour of his home town.

Not sure if this has been posted before, but made me laugh when it popped-up on my Facebook feed....

Watching National League football, they all have proper recognised branded kit. Why then do we have this rubbish from an unknown supplier? 

Just imagine what dross was rejected before this abomination was agreed on.

Where is its head? 

As the red breast is a robin's most distinguishable feature, I'd imagine that would feature in the design. Not some odd angle of a bird in flight which makes it look headless. 

The badge on the yellow shirt is horrendous (to put it nicely). Please tell us this isn't the one we're going with.

There’s something very reassuring about a font rage thread.

Even more so when the typeface vs font chat begins.

Good defender but made of glass

We seen to be good at finding these.

I has to check the date when I read this earlier.

How do we know you're not a doubter? 

We can't move for doubters round here. 

"can we come in for a doubt?" they say. 

And we say "No, go away you heartless doubters" 

Nice paraphrasing from a great bit of Black Adder. 

One kid does it and they'll all be running on in future games. Not condoning the stewarding as I didn't see it but it can't be overlooked.

Surely all non league teams want a big PL team?

I'm sure they do - as do the fans. But following comments such as "Everything in between in League One or Championship is a bit like: whatever." they're not going to get my sympathy if another player gives them a bit of stick back.

All this talk of disrespect is a bit rich from Wrexham, especially after telling the media they were disappointed to 'only' draw Coventry in an earlier round.

One of the gems from Bristol Sport that all three clubs become members of the other sports when being a season ticket holder

 

According to the website only in terms of pricing,,,

The mention of 'priority' must be for rugby cups - surely? ("and don't call me Shirley")

Appears not!

Just looked the Bears Season Tickets only offer 'Members ticket prices for Bristol City and Flyers games". No priority.

Nice to hear our Bristol City loving BBC commentator managing to give us a mention again - albeit a game we eventually lost (circa 56th minute of the game, 1hr:48ms into the whole broadcast )

BBC iPlayer - The FA Cup - 2022/23: Fourth-Round: Wrexham v Sheffield United

And sorry if this has been mentioned in any other thread.

Another one of my bugbears is adverts that quote percentages. For example "Up to 100% coverage..." is anything from 0% upwards. Which means whatever they're selling you might not bloody work!

Exactly. Made the same point a few posts ago. 

So you did, sorry I didn't spot that.

Why are the TV companies allowed to play the audio for adverts at a higher level than the program they are interrupting? It means turning the volume down, then up again when the programme continues.

I think the T&C's in all radio adverts should legally have to be read at the same speed as the advert itself. Not at the crazy incomprehensible pace they are now.

Another goal from defensive errors. FFS.
