Re: Advertising Neon Lights !!!

Brightness might be an issue. The intensity needed in daylight needs to be high but could be toned down for night games. I do not have problems with it but have clear memories of a night game at Bolton a few years ago. They certainly distracted but as we won 1-0 went away happy.

Re: Strange points from Sunday.

A solution that is used in some other professional sports is to stop the clock. As soon as the staff come on the clock stops until they leave the field. This eliminates guesswork. Same could apply to substitution and then no silliness when leaving the field. Thus 45 mins play per half.

Re: FAO Any skiers

] If you're talking about a mile of apres ski, then you're likely referring to Solden rather than Obertauern. Having been to many Austrian resorts, I would absolutely give it a swerve. It's a main road of seedy strip joints and not your typical Austrian family friendly, all shapes/sizes/ages apres. ...

Re: Sky coverage of the game

They have 4 games live today and this must have been their lowest ranked game with least experienced crew.
Commentary was sub standard with som bizarre comments. Misidentified players a lot.
Overall not a good show and certainly a poor performance by officials.

Re: This is what I'm up against

As a regular reader and very occasional poster I agree entirely with your position. Debate and free speech are key elements but vitriol and bad language would seem to be encroaching on even the most innocuous topics. Tony, continue with keeping the message board in order. Part of the difficulty is t...

Re: Jon walters

If we had a cup run would get more time. Stayed at the end of the City match and noted he walked off whilst the rest came over to the stand for applause. As stated if he had been fit would have had more chance to impress and may do so. Ashley is playing well and Wells needs more game time.

Well done.As a very infrequent poster I look forward to the banter and non clarets joining to discuss wider matters.
