So the Op suggests that you take any spare tickets to West Brom away on the assumption that someone from Bristol has travelled up ticketless or have i misunderstood. I would have thought the answer to such a predicament would be for a willing buyer and seller to sort prior to travel with of course the over riding legal principle of Caveat Emptor coming to the fore.

I think players should be made aware of what data is collected about them, and like a credit report, if the data is wrong, it could have a negative effect on the individual.

Sorry perhaps I have failed to make myself clear, my original post started from the assumption that all managers are of a relative equal standard and it is more by luck than judgement whether they are successful. Phil Brown is a good example he must have had something about him to reach a play off final and keep Hull in the PL but since then his magic seems to have worn thin. So the question remains was he a good manager or a bad manager who got lucky. (Agree outfoxed was not the correct choice of words ,events conspired against us that day)

Just playing devil's advocate, but are most managers in reality all about the same level and once in a while more by luck than judgement stumble across the right formation to suit their players. Phil Brown had enough about him to outfox GJ at Wembley and their they both are until yesterday managing in the 5th tier. Was he a good manager once or as subsequent events have shown just a false dawn In PB's case I think his ego was the problem and his reputation never recovered.

A bit left field, but as a boy Donald Bradman use to throw a golf ball against a wall and bat it with a stump; so when he got older to hit a cricket ball with a full size bat became easy for him. Pretty sure that constant repetition at a young age hones these skills rather than any inherent DNA ,it's just that if your father is a footballer he is more likely to encourage you than if he was say a motor racing fanatic.

Nearly 20 minutes long and is the match at Filbert Street

Marvellous, the cut and thrust of lively debate.

To be honest I'm not sure it does i reached my zenith at differential calculus and it's been downhill from there better off leaving it to the young guns. "A utilities company is researching the cost of household gas and electricity bills. They have analysed the data from hundreds of households and found that the median cost is £66 and the interquartile range is £21. The range is £27.50, the cheapest price was £47.50 and the upper quartile was £74. Represent this information with a box-and-whisker plot."

Hands up who knows what box plot /whiskers are, I'm guessing nothing to do with multipack cat food.

This thread just reminds me how rubbish some of today's chants are, that one about "Every where we go" should be banned sounds like a bunch of hooray henry's attending a rugby match. Much prefer to hear that old school chant to the tune of Bless Em all which carried a bit of venom.

For once I am in complete agreement. "Players lose you games, not tactics. There's so much crap talked about tactics by people who barely know how to win at dominoes." Brian Clough "Players lose you games, not tactics. There's so much crap talked about tactics by people who barely know how to win at dominoes."

You've gone all Kevin Keegan surely we should keep the duck and get rid of the monkey. "I'd love to be a mole on the wall in the Liverpool dressing room at half-time."

Marvellous news, it's interesting to note that Leylah Fernandez tonight's opponent has beaten 3 of the top 5 ranking players in her run to the final, yet Raducanu is odds on to win. Should be a good match .

Thanks but none of the links work for me, all I get is this "XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it" which is ironic as similar comments have often been made about my attire.. .

So they made a loss of £5m and have losses bought forward of £95m making losses carried forward of £100 m, astonishing for 3rd division side. if this was any other business they would cease to trade, perhaps you would be good enough to provide a brief answer as to how this is allowed to continue and how they meet the basic audit requirement of being a going concern. Thanks in advance

Falkirk v East Stirling for me, i was informed by the locals not for the faint hearted as a real passionate rivalry. Reality freezing cold, a crowd of less than 300 and football that would shame the Dog and Duck.

Summed up nicely by Ian Rush on his struggle to adapt to Italian life after his move to Juventus in 1987/88 'I couldn't settle in Italy,' the £3.2million man said, 'it was like living in a foreign country."

Blimey by the sound of things you think it's unlikely that we could give him away.

A club of our our standing rarely gets the opportunity to sign such high quality talent and it should be a case of some regret within our management team they were unable to get the most out of him. "On 10 June 2016, Nagy was listed among the top 10 young talents at the Euro 2016. and includes football players such as Kingsley Coman, Julian Draxler, and Raphaël Guerreiro". As to his future destination -"During the European Championship, Nagy attracted attention from clubs such as Benfica, Olympique de Marseille and Leicester City."

Have I missed something here, our Hungarian midfield maestro who played against France, Germany and Portugal and performed very well, is not considered for the starting X1 or even on the bench. If that is correct the only conclusion one can make assuming his fitness, is that he will soon be on his way in the very near future. Every cloud and all that so if Nagy leaves we can expect a new signing fairly soon.

That old chestnut a trick question. Never heard of this film and having found the trailer can understand why . Being charitable it doesn't appear to have aged well.

Do try and keep up!. Blackburn away is the catalyst for Norman Wisdom, banned Norman Wisdom films and the Talking pictures Tv channel. Happens every visit ,you could set your watch by it. https://www.otib.co.uk/index.php?/topic/206378-if-your-going-to-blackburna-bit-of-nostalgia-for-you-to-visit/ https://www.otib.co.uk/index.php?/topic/196765-whats-the-connection-between-the-darwen-away-end-at-blackburn-and-norman-wisdom/

Having watched City at home for the last 2 seasons I'm not sure i agree.

I disagree 15 minutes each way at St George's Park. Larger goals to ensure a result and plenty of goals for TV. Rush goalies obviously One touch football to keep it flowing and avoid any tackles or physical contact. Ball must not go above head height to make sure no heading. Throw- ins to be kick-ins to avoid touching the ball with bare hands. Just a towel down with players own towel at half time followed by half an orange from the player's local farm shop to preserve the integrity of the competition. Shirts to remain on at all times. In the unlikely event of a draw penalty shoot outs, all players including the goalies in hazmat suits. Halftime analysis by Ant and Dec ,
