The one highlight she had during what has been a very challenging couple of years was a very famous music star from the 80s (I'll keep his name private) was being treated on the same ward in Oxford when she had her last operation and she got really excited that his gown was open on the back as he went down the corridor past her room for his op so she got an eyefull.

Very best wishes to the Mrs. Your username is very apt for her experience that day

If Manning were to be fired, i’d have no confidence that JL, SL and BT would pick anyone better. I’d actually have more confidence in Ian Gay, Robbored and Tony Wilkins picking next manager.

Au contraire Mr Teeth.  We'd be certain of appointing a 'proper' Championship Manager.

I can’t imagine Hoddle is too happy about it. Doesn’t exactly put him in a good light!

It really doesn't does it. I think we have to remember it's a Netflix documentary that is produced in a certain way in order to stir all the emotions, but he did say it!  I guess the decent thing would be for the doc to ask him for his say with 25 years worth of hindsight...

Oh and no spoilers please, I'm only up to episode 3

Don't think so. Nearest examples are;1974 Gillies & Gow for Scotland U23s. 1958 England World Cup qualifier v Ireland; City provided the centre forward for both teams.

Played for England first half, Ireland second?

Not up yet as is a bit early.

Thanks! In this Universe I am married to a half decent bar singer called Ms. Perry so I'm probably gonna miss the rest of the match.

BTW I  think sports-10 streams work better than an actual Robin's TV pass!!!

Anybody have a stream...

To somewhere in the multiverse where City win at home?

Thanks in advance.

cricfree never works for me for the Robin's TV streams but has been excellent recently for Sky streams etc.

Try sports-10.com for City games currently watching now and working well.  Somebody posted a few weeks ago so I'm not taking credit! 

Today the home page looked outdated but use the search function and the link will come up. That WBA commentary though...

On the topic of Lady pundits a big up to Karen Carney who was a regular pundit on DAZN Premier League coverage here in Canada land. Extremely knowledgeable and IMHO easy on the ear, very insightful.  Her experience and anecdotes based on playing the women's game worked seamlessly with the incidents from the particular men's match she was commenting on.

No idea if she could 'carry' a show as a presenter but personally think she does a great job as a pundit and columnist. 

Maybe something from the fans in minute 25 tomorrow (anybody going?) or next home game?

Mods can no doubt confirm but shame the 'code' probably doesn't allow it to say "join the comedy" on each page of just this thread instead of "join the conversation".

They were 2nd on the list last year and after signing lots of marquee clients hopes were high for becoming partners in the firm, but alas after losing several cases deemed open and shut they have been shunted off to do pro Bono. You'll be able to see how the whole thing played out on Netflix soon enough.

Inspired by the 'Snow Bomb' thread, thought I'd dig out this beauty.  From the CNN app reading my IP address from Oshawa, Southern Ontario (near enough anyway).

It is football related, you shouldn't have to look too closely but you may do a double take.

Completely disagree

It reads like an honest assesment from someone sick of dealing with a dictatorship,

Remember this is the same owner who didn't want to spend money on the ground unless the supporters who owned shares stumped up half,

As I said when they tried to lord it over us when wael came in

He is a fake and its a property deal gone disastrously wrong

They have to be close to going under

I do personally think Wally desperately wanted to be the owner of a (any) football club but agree that the reason his family agreed to buy this one was the property deal. If that had gone right (anyone forensicaly reconstructing that chain of events might conclude it was always doomed) then family investment is a winner and Wally is the hero lapping up the fan adulation of a club then probably on the rise (relatively speaking).

Deal falls through, family gets out, Wally is left to himself to restore his own business pride in what has become more and more (and nothing more) than a vanity project. Except in spite of, or probably more accurately because of Wally's leadership things keep getting worse making the club and anyone connected to it, especially its owner and President, a complete laughing stock. Hence behaviours such as a tweet throwing your stadium announcer under the bus after your club was unable to provide any means to clearly indicate substitutions and time added on. You know,  unlike all other professional football clubs in the Football Pyramid were able to do.

Hope I'm wrong then! - sounds to me like an ineffective Supporters Club, with membership made up of the least organised set of supporters out there has been unable to work with a club for a significant amount of time for reasons various.

Maybe they'll now start to question why Wael has never held a senior role in any of the family businesses! 

Soap opera stuff!

And another gift.

 Just another level of incompetence ;

No electronic subs board for the Gas .Billy Smart’s at the Mem .

Story from the post site.

No electronic board in Bristol

It’s now seemingly commonplace to have a digital subs board even in the lower tiers of non-league football, but for whatever reason, one was absent from the game on Saturday.

At first, it wasn’t noticeable as no subs needed to be made in the opening 45 minutes, and due to the scuffle between the two teams at the end of the first half, no one really paid any attention to how many minutes were added on until it was announced over the PA system.

Harvey Saunders introduction for the start of the second half then made it clear that a substitution board was nowhere to be seen and due to it being from the start of the half no Rovers player ran over to the touchline.

And due to the lack of clarification, completely incorrect information was passed onto stadium announcer Lance Cook who unnecessarily took the brunt of an error that was out of his control.

It became apparent soon that the fourth official was actually holding up his fingers as a way of communication which player was coming off, understandably causing some confusion on the terraces.

Unless I am massively misunderstanding. 

Major's post seemingly explains the social media post by 'Lance' to which the owner and President of the 'professional' football club Bristol  Rovers replies with a large slice of sarcasm. Major's post however makes it clear Lance made whatever mistake he did due to the Professional football club known as Bristol  Rovers not being able to provide an electronic board to indicate substitutions and added time.  Thus leading the official to use a piece of slightly less technical equipment, namely  'his fingers', further leading to the hapless stadium announcer known as Lance to provide incorrect information to the throngs packed into Memorial Stadium.

The President of this Professional football club may well have been furious and launched a behind the scenes investigation into how this incident occurred and put into place robust processes to ensure no repeat which could cause the Professional club to be a bit of a laughing stock. But his most apparent, certainly most public action as far as I can see was a sarcastic reply to the person whose mistake was entirely innocent and whom has been thoroughly thrown under the proverbial bus. Just so the owner can hide their own embarrassment and shift blame away from the inept organisation known as Bristol Rovers. Classy guy. Real nice.

Oh and back to the statement from the outgoing Gas Supporters Club President - who do you believe?
