Jock commentator sacked for using a slang word that everyone understands. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9221633/Hamilton-SACK-commentator-Bobby-Bulloch-saying-went-jobby-live-air.html Seems a bit OTT for me.

David Luiz (Never liked him)

Excellent 2nd half with high tempo. Good to see JBG getting back to his best and linking well Lowton who had one of his best games this season. Pope 7 Lowton 8 Tarkowski 6 Mee 7 Pieters 7 Gudmundsson 8 (+1 for his goal and -1 for his weird attempt to block Dunks header) Westwood 7 Cork 6 McNeil 7 Ba...

Elviria is our favourite. Small village just past Cabopino. Lovely beach, lots of restaurants (Cristina's on the beach is superb)

Being a 60+ year old I've been through the mill with the Clarets. I don't think I've ever recovered after we sold Willie Morgan to Utd. I was on the pitch when we won the Youth Cup with Mick Doc as Captain but even that was spoiled by some scrote nicking my beloved bobble hat. Perhaps the lowest I f...

Have to say I'm glad I don't know you lot personally, you're such a miserable negative lot

Hang on a minute, I think a lot of what you've posted makes sense!
Anyway I'm lumbered for life with an optimistic viewpoint as my bloodgroup is B+

Outclassed but never outfought. City are some outfit, a joy to watch.......................as long as they are not playing us

Pope 7
Lowton 6
Tarkowski 6
Mee 6
Pieters 7 MOM for sheer effort.
JBG 5
Westwood 5
Cork 5
McNeil 5
Vydra 7
Rodriguez 5

CaptJohn

Squad size is starting to bite us. The loss of Wood is a worry and hopefully Brownhill can get fit soon as he gives us a lot of energy in the middle of the park. Westwood is running on empty and Cork clearly not fully fit. Maybe park the bus against City and play all of Long, Dunne and Bardsley inst...

CaptJohn

Chelski are playing well but the ref is on hand to make sure that Tuchel has a warm welcome to the Prem. The tw@t with the whistle can't wait to give them a pen. Just watch 2nd half

CaptJohn

I like his philosophy and as long as he can "walk the walk" after "talking the talk" I'll be happy. Now then Mr Pace can you please respond to my letter?

CaptJohn

I see Bristol City are interested in Henri Lansbury. He was on our radar for a long time

CaptJohn

I try to walk every day. Did an 8 miler yesterday down the River Dee here in Chester but found myself berating dog owners for not clearing up after their dogs. The amount of dog crap on the pavements is disgusting. Also getting roped into DIY. Changed out shower heads recently, put up a new house si...

Westwood 6
McNeil 8 + 1 =9 MOM purely for the goal and assist
Wood 7
Rodriguez 5 No impact today.

Subs

Cork 8 Made a big difference
Gudmundson 6
Vydra 8 Made a very big difference

CaptJohn

Grealish was not happy at the end and I did see Woan smirking but I'm not sure where it all started. Certainly Lowton was annoyed at Grealish in the 2nd half and he doesn't usually get too emotional. He'll have known Grealish from his Villa days so it could have been historical but more likely a tou...

Made a massive difference. Well done that man!

Don’t remind me about B’mouth in the cup. We were due to come down for a replay in the 60s. BBC announced they were showing a highlights package at night and me Da said we’ll leave it. 7-0, 5 for Andy Lochhead and Bob Lord wouldn’t let the BBC in. Gutted. You didn't miss much :lol: I got absolutely...

Fans matter more to the bigger clubs than the little clubs, as they influence referees. If someone had told me that we were going to win at Anfield via a late penalty I would have laughed at them. Do you think we'd have been awarded the penalty if fans had been present? I doubt it very much.

BPF 8 Not much to do but very good reflex saves when called upon. Bardsley 8 Reminded me of Brian O'Neil when he slid into tackles and came up covered in mud :lol: Tarks 8 Long 8 Pieters 7 JBG 6 Needs game time as lacking confidence. Cork 7 Stephens 7 McNeil 7 Vydra 6 Would have been a 7 possibly 8 ...

Had real problems with sleeping last March when the lockdown first struck.

Pope 9*
Lowton 7

Westwood 7
Brownhill 8
McNeil 8
Barnes 8

Good report. Fond memories of Kiwi having worked as a young officer for New Zealand Shipping many years ago. I think Wellington has changed though. It was a bit quiet back then. Did have one memorable weekend there when a skipper married a kiwi lass and we had the reception on board the ship. That w...

CaptJohn

I was so angry that we didn't go through on away goals. It was a great strike from Paveldingbat though, from a cross by a certain Gareth Bale if I'm not mistaken. Thought Beast had saved it at first until the Spuds fans went up in the Cricket Field. Still bitter to this day

CaptJohn

Who is it sat to the right of John Talbut?

CaptJohn

Wow what a blast from the past. Some tough characters in the photo. John Talbut, Dave Merrington, Gordon Harris, Brian Miller and of course Andy Lochhead. It's definitely not Brian O'Neil but could be Les Latchams brother. Not sure about Len Kinsella though.

CaptJohn

I guess the answer is that there weren't the statistics around in the old days. I was there that night at Burnden Park as well

CaptJohn

Landlord is an excellent beer but strangely enough I had a glass of Fullers London Pride last night

CaptJohn

Pretty decent coverage IMO. Gabby Logan is the eye candy and Ali McCoist the entertainment. Picture quality excellent but I agree with an earlier poster about the cameras panning to a view of one of the WHU Directors, Sullivan I think, when they should concentrate on the game. In all fairness though...

CaptJohn

True observation I'm afraid. There are one or two players who are "going through the motions" at present IMHO.

CaptJohn

Pope - 7 No a lot to do TBH.
Pieters - 7 Lots of effort.
Tarky - 6
Mee - 7
Lowton - 7 Starting to see hime ventoring forward a bit more.
Gudmunson - 5 Not a patch on what we're used to.
Westwood - 6
Brownhill - 6
Brady - 6
Wood - 5
Barnes - 6

Vydra - 6
McNeil - 8 MOM by a country mile.
Rodriguez - 6

Certainly a new approach to talent spotting.

CaptJohn

We appear to be slowly getting over the injury crisis with most of our senior players starting to return. Hence the bench looks much stronger.

Hope the ref stays neutral

No chance of that with Utd in town.

It's actually nights like this when I really hate this covid denying me the opportunity to see the likes of Wood, Mee, Tarks and Barnes up against the might of Utd with Cavani, Pogba and co.

Had a new kitchen 8 years ago and went with Neff Appliances. Fridge, induction hob, extractor hob, dishwasher, single oven, microwave combi and warming drawer. No problems so far but as Tony says it's important to get the right pans for the induction hob. We did get a new washing machine at the same...

Enjoyed that, despite all the moaning in here.

At least it's entertaining from a comical viewpoint. I'm watching without sound so I can make up my own mind as to things and not be influenced by any prat of a commentator. Once Moss went to the screen I knew he would rescind the red. I still can't figure out why Barnes didn't win a penalty when th...

This is not meant facetiously, but how have small shareholders been treated over the past 3 years or so? What benefits have you had?

Timberland had an offer on recently at their Cheshire Oaks store with a buy one get 50% off another. Superb quality and comfortable.

CaptJohn

From my perspective it may not be about the cost of the ST but how the small shareholders in the club get treated going forward. If I'm not happy or we are ignored completely then it becomes a matter of principle and they'll lose two, long term season ticket holders for good.

CaptJohn

Managed to eventually get this app on my phone and registered. Using the Screen mirroring from Samsung Galaxy phone to Samsung TV. I'll see how that goes but if it is poor quality I'll watch on a Chromebook. Definitely a lag though. I've complained to the FA and am in dialogue with their FA Player t...

with the leverage on the club and it's cash assets now gone I suggest your share(s) is worth considerably less than the price the previous board achieved last week My thoughts entirely. The small share holders have been ignored by the big boys. I could use stronger language but will refrain from do...

I wonder if there is a market for my modest shareholding and if so how can I go about offloading them? Tips/advice anyone?
