Sky Apps working fine here...............but anyone else irritated by having to put up with the ad for Sky Sports when trying to watch each and every clip on SKY Sports!?

You need to hear the Colne Orpheus Glee Union version of Hallelujah

Is it available on CD!

aclaretinstevenage

In my case it has to be Leonard Cohen. Recently added a lot of his tracks to my Spotify collection and listen to it over and over again. Genius.

My daughter had a similar sounding issue with her Mercedes A class (2009) and today it was diagnosed as a faulty Knock sensor - who knew (look it up). If your wife's Golf has one - a quick google suggests it might - it could be that.

I have no idea how Beale gets such a job with any club. Short on pedigree and personality to me.

Owners eh!

Cornet looks disinterested as usual.

Why not stick to your UTC persona, you know let someone give an opinion on something and then put an opposing view. Hours of fun guaranteed!

I don’t take football seriously anymore. VAR as killed everything football use to be. I went to my second ever live game 54 years ago today, Bury 8-0 Tranmere. If I was that 8 year old now, I don’t think I’d be interested in football at all. In fact, this 62 year old, isn’t far off not liking footb...

So personalising things here but, Do I travel 4-5 hours each way to watch a lightweight team try hard but ultimately not be good enough or worse stuffed by another crap VAR decision, or pop down to my local league one club and watch an honest (mostly) collection of journeymen footballers scrambling ...

Really sad news, brilliant shows and always had the music more important than the self.

I'm a little surprised to see he is only 36 meaning he was only 21 when he scored that worldy at Reading in the play off semi final second leg.

Every now and again a death really shocks, this is one of those. Just a superb footballer, very sad. RIP

I hope they drop out of the league.

So do I! Seen them many times at Stevenage, just something about the whole "project" that I don't like. Hopefully they'll go and take Forest Green with them!

aclaretinstevenage

Inevitable. I wonder what criteria they used to sack Eustace and appoint Rooney - other than his reputation as a player.

Easy to say serves them right - but it serves them right! Idiot owners.

aclaretinstevenage

Just looking at the footage on Sky News, incredible that everyone on the A350 escaped. Sad though that 5 of the coastguard on their way to assist in the Earthquake relief effort lost their lives.

Abuse but it makes amusing reading!

aclaretinstevenage

This was one of my first thoughts too. I think being a woman will actually work in her favour in terms of onfield discipline and dissent. However, in terms of crowd reactions - we ought to be able to barrack and abuse her just as much as is permissible towards any other referee. That is to say, we ...

Interested to hear why specifically as an official you have this view

Simply, I actually think players will show more respect to a female official than they do to the men. Female "linespersons" seem to get less abuse than male counterparts - certainly in games I've attended with a female "lino".

aclaretinstevenage

She'll probably get more respect form the players than Haaland showed to Hooper the other week! Having seen her Referee Championship games she's as good as most male Referee's in that league. Strangely although not being a fan of women in Men's football, Referee / Lino are positions where they are a...

From BBC Sports page. Koca, 59, was twice elected to Turkey's parliament as part of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's ruling AK Party. He was earlier quoted by news agencies in Turkey as saying he does not accept responsibility, adding: "This incident developed due to the wrong decisions and provocat...

Perfect Karma that!

Stevenage beating beating his team was the final straw that saw him sacked, after all the s**t he stirred up after being sacked by Stevenage!

Football has the officiating it deserves. The way referees and match officials are abused and harangued, it’s no wonder that young people coming into the game don’t want to get into refereeing. Players that play act dive and generally try to con the referee are as much responsible for the poor stan...

Just seen this. Damn good player too in the 1960s and 70s - and he made a hell of a difference to England when he replaced Graham Taylor. Always a shame that he was unable to continue in that role.

A bit of a Cockney spiv undoubtedly, but a great football man.

Exactly my thoughts on El Tel.

Taylor will be reffing in the Championship again next time out. He was demoted last week after giving a wrong penalty against Wolves - in a game where they played a "big six" club - Premier League corrupt as f***.

Turned over to watch Werder Bremen v Frankfurt.

There are lots of these currently circulating on F***BooK and other social media sites.

Actually I imagine there are plenty who would like to see football keeping its nose out of politics, religion, human rights, war and all that is associated with it.

I actually agree with you on all of this list except Remembrance Day, "lest we forget".

aclaretinstevenage

Go to the cenotaph on Sunday for reflection and to pay your respects, don’t impose it everywhere for a week either side of Remembrance Day. Football wants everyone to see players "taking a knee", football wants everyone to see players wearing Rainbow laces / armbands but you don't think football sh...

I would guess Stephen Ward being 1 of them who scored over 80% of the votes can’t remember the game but it stood out as I have never seen so many 10s before or since I believe. Could be the Brentford Away game one Friday evening under Dyche in the Championship, Barton scored a free kick, Arfield an...

Another game from the big match revisited.
Fulham v Burnley 19/8/1972

https://youtu.be/Gf7MNM0x_m0?si=Fj7HSvkhLZe0Cl8k

The commentary reminded me of how biased towards London clubs The Big Match and Brian Moore were!

Loved that kit by the way.

aclaretinstevenage

Add Teddy - do you know who I am - Sheringham to the list.

I've been listening to a Spotify created Leonard Cohen play list recently. It's much less miserable than being a Burnley fan just now!!

Apparently Var can upgrade a yellow to a red but can’t tell the ref to give someone a 2nd yellow.

Yeah I heard that. Yet another VAR system nonsense.

aclaretinstevenage

Two i 5 minutes and still Oliver doesn't think it worthy of at least a second Yellow if not a straight Red.

Mustn't upset Pep now must we Michael.

Yes! with baggy shorts and socks round his ankles. As a lad he was my favourite player.

Last week Curtis Jones gets a Red card, today Kovacic with a worse challenge only gets a Yellow. Bonkers.

I think Sky said he's currently injured but the ban will be served this Saturday V Burnley.

Should be like rugby , should hear everything they are saying in the stadium and at home on TV, then their incompetence can be heard for all to hear. Nothing to hide then. I agree. The difference with Rugby though is that the on field Referee initiates the Video check whereas in football the incomp...

What Barton says about the events is dead right, BUT! that's a conversation for the changing room and only the changing room. To broadcast it like that is unfortunately typical Barton, he will never learn or change, the blokes is a knob at times!
