My brother, 35 years in DC and latterly Richmond, VA, will tell you Dolman - that's where he sits every time he comes over. As has been said, the Dolman can be slightly more cramped - so if you're tall/large/long legs you may find more legroom in the Dolman. The sun can be an issue (if its out), but easy - just wear a cap - I assume you wear one night and day anyway as Americans!! But, I have to say.....Rotherham: you certainly know how to pick them!!

I met a woman with a glass eye once. We were sat on neighbouring tables in a hotel restaurant. She suddenly sneezed and her glass eye popped out and I managed to stop it landing on the floor. After she put it back in we got chatting, found we had a lot in common and had a really enjoyable evening, and swapped phone numbers. I asked if she often found herself doing this with strange men and she said “no, not often, it was just that you happened to catch my eye”.

It seems a bit random though. I’ve several times offered referees the temporary use of my glasses. None have ever taken up the offer.

It’s back to being a ST now (according to the OS ?)

Leaving on a Jet Plane …..Peter Paul and Mary

I've heard him called worse....?

Yes, fair comment. I’m not sure players worry solely about money and he certainly doesn’t strike me that way. And I don’t think he’ll have enjoyed Holden’s spell much. But yes, I’m sure he will see positives in his time here. There’s no doubt he developed, and 100 (or 99 for the pedants!) games at Championship level is a good CV

I think @Davefevs has made the point earlier that the compensation is a fixed fee worked out on a formula, and that performance doesn’t come into it. Didn’t work out too well for him either: I can’t help feeling he’d have made a lot more progress had he been at a club and playing a style of football that was better using his strengths. He’s evidently got the talent, we just haven’t been able to make the best of it. And that’s not a criticism of anyone, it’s just how things sometimes pan out, especially when clubs change managers.

Dance Til We Die........Lana Del Rey

No option at this stage. The default is digital….and I guess you’ll have to contact them later for anything else.

And…..don’t tell me…..you still get a booklet with a ticket you tear out for each match ?

Joey……Bob Dylan

Just about to pose a similar question RR. How different (of at all) are we to the average Championship club? I can recall a couple of times recently when we’ve played a side with 6 players out injured (or similar). Is it that uncommon? Or - like the penalties - does it come in phases for most sides but just happen constantly to us?!

Don't get me wrong...I'm a big Vyner fan. Always have been, even through the spells when it felt like there were about three of us! But he can pass better than he did today - and some of them were just giving it away. His pass success stats alway get distorted by those cross field passes that all our back 4 make, but - a couple of long cross field ones aside - he just didn't do it going forward for me today.

That's a fair assessment, but what's frustrating is that for all their neat and tidy football you could see why Swansea are on the terrible run they are and you could see why they've thrown away so many leads recently. They were the better team...but they weren't really that convincing.

What's the word.....streaky? ?

Defensively I agree. But his distribution has been very poor today. As has Dasilva's albeit in a different way - he just seems unable to see his colleagues making runs into space - its so frustrating that several times a simple ball by him would have set up a break, but he just misses it, takes another touch, plays it back.

Yes, injuries have been a factor. But I think that it's stretching it to say that our defeat today is down to bad luck rather than playing poorly. Swansea, who aren't great, have been better than us, and we have been wasteful and toothless.

And again.

Hard to see what difference that makes if we don't give them better service though. Overhit long punts is about all they've been getting last 10 minutes.

Two positives. We’re not as bad as we were first half at Luton. OTC. Looks comfortable, and finds a City player with most of his passes, which is something few others manage!

Although, being Luton, any recompense should be for the one that went ahead…? ?

Rise Up…..Joshua Moses

Mind you, wouldn’t much of the parking at AV have been within the control of the club, who themselves charge north of £20 on some match days?
