  1. no email. bought at 10.15 this morning, showing on my BS account and on my credit card app. no email = no actual ticket....
  2. very much so, and Pring in particular was sooo slow to respond to his run. He continued to do the same thing, move forward then drop back into more space to receive the ball, and we kept leaving him be. i hope they pay more attention in the replay
  3. now thats a memory. was there that night
  4. same. mine actually had bits of wood in the toes and you had to wrap the laces around and around the middle of the boot then tie them up. as for those orange balls, if you over pumped them it was hilarious.
  5. Bollocks This. to assume the board have pulled off some masterstroke is laughable, if you churn your managers every now and again you'll get a bit lucky and it will click in patches. This is a 3 game run !!! so lets sit and wait for end of season before we get all lathered up and start puckering up to Slippery Steve's and BlunderBoys arsehole. I recall a story about Lord Lichfield, a 'so called' great photographer. he was alleged to have basically taken so many pictures that every now and again he produced something of merit. Monkeys and Typewriters basically. i will appreciate the wins, and support the team, but as many have said, lets wait and see,
  6. i was going to say people who blame cyclists for everything..... (every bracket of transport has a similar % of bell ends ) so while we're here... pedestrians who cross the road with headphones on, not looking Car drivers who park on pavements (VW van owners specifically) Bus drivers running red lights - who are just ***** Apologies announcements on board trains VOI scooter riders....
  7. so these guys sponsor both football and rugby teams. seemed a strange one at the time to me. but if they want to, good luck. Taking a cursory look at their published accounts via companies house it seems even stranger. Any of the accountancy whizzkids on here care to take a look and tell me if you see anything other than massive losses! and the one company trading as that name being wound up by the courts. The director has got lots of other stuff under his name so he may be shuffling stuff around, i can't think that a sponsorship package comes cheap either.
  8. 11 goals in 12 - and cue the 'should have never let him go' posts again.
  9. jamie Cureton is coach there. Peter taylor - yes, him! - just sacked this year as manager.
  10. impressively stupid https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/67648122
  11. i kept mine - didn't feel like being bullied out of that stake. i don't care if they are worthless, it's symbolic. Lansdown knows the price of things, but not the value.
  12. "He now walks into one of the best academies at the level where a clear pathway to the first team is already established." good to know that this is the perception of our academy, it will surely help attract talent, but.... The academy is only as good as the administration and coaching, and the latest re shuffle has altered all that internally again. do we have faith in the Lansdowns to continue to manage accordingly?
  13. would have helped if he'd played on his favoured side. we got the goal as soon as he and Andi swapped.you could see he picked up his play and clearly was in his more natural position but then to put him back on the left was pointless. red flags there
  14. Given our dear leaders apparent inability to tolerate failure, i wonder if SL will be axing Pat Lam anytime soon? another loss ( 5 on the bounce now ) The wheels are coming off at the egg chasers. I know the Boy Blunder isn't part of the rugby set up, so be interesting to see what happens.
  15. for me this colour is a particularly revolting shade of bluey whatever, i get that some people are 'meh' about this, but without igniting the whole branding thing again, the lack of consistency throughout our kit/traing kit/leisure wear leaves me cold. the overall design of this training top is also pretty ugly IMHO but i get that this is more down to the O Neils catalogue of choices in their kit. if i were running it, the main kit and therefore main training kit would always reflect the red and white branding. Red and White surely being our identity over time. this doesn't stop the ability to also design different kits and styles, and it would also mean that the second strip and third and more so in the leisure wear you could have variations. and i would absolutely ditch the ******* awful 'flying Robin' badge and just stick to the main Robin logo.
  16. indeed. don't get me started, the clue is in 'come on you REDS'
  17. i will just say that sometimes it feels like it's coming at you from all angles, but just take a breath and go at your own speed. it will pass. It's not the same situation as yours by a long chalk but this last year with my mum has felt like that - one thing then another, (and we had that same scramble for a home. Hopefuly Aus is better than the totally shite care system in the UK) but i tell myself it will pass. try to find the small stuff you enjoy doing as well, as all the negative stuff just takes over - someone said make a list of 5 good things that happen to yourself every day, i actually found that tough, but get the point. right now i am enjoying a cup of tea (! - even the small stuff counts) here and now, thats good enough. a good friend of mine once said 'i thought i'd hit bottom, then i heard knocking from below' and while that sounds pretty dark, it kind of makes me smile. chins up
  18. Good luck Tone - I am dealing with my own mum and my wife's mum ATM, both have dementia and both have very different needs. My own mum has just moved to a new home and for the first time they have managed her pain meds properly, this has resulted in a complete change in character. unfortunately she needs nursing care 24/7 so being at home is no longer an option It will be tough at times, but the fact that you will be in more familiar surroundings will help I hope. stay strong mate.
  19. he can pass, but likes the long diagonal balls and that requires skill from the reciever. he is also prone to some clangers when he tries to take on players in front of him without sufficient cover behind him.
  20. if you take james out of the equation IMO that will just leave us exposed defensively. his reading of the game is excellent, and his positional sense shows. we focus on Knight because of his brilliant energy and movement but don't underestimate what James brings to the side. in time (if we keep him) Bachman Turner Overdrive could play a vital part of the midfield alongside Knight but at the moment he looks a little 'green' to my eyes. We could absolutely do with a creative MF - but Scott was not of this world (or at least division) his overall tracking back aand tackling were unbelievable, add to that his forward passing and we were lucky to have him, before him we have had a fair few players (Palmer, Tomlin *shudder*) who could turn it on, but more often were passengers (to the frustration of many on here) so that creative role is a tough one.
