I see they skipped past the half time handbags, which is when I suspect the City players heads went. Absolute pathetic that this was omitted from the highlights. It's all part of the game and the spectacle. Can't believe a football match is being censored. Just showing all the pretty bits. The feis...

Anybody know where the title "When the ball moves" comes from? Is it a pun or does it refer to anything in particular? Always wondered.

Looks like 4-4-2 to me

It was actually a cassette, but the first music I chose and bought with my own money was the Frankie goes to Hollywood album Welcome to the Pleasuredome.

Great question that, love these impromptu quizzes.

Nepotism. From the Italian word nepotismo, meaning nephew. Catholic popes and bishops who had no offspring of their own due to a vow of chastity, would give favourable positions in the church to nephews.

Apart from Lowton's cross for the goal, our deliveries into the box were awful again.

You've just about summed it up PTN. I live on the Fylde now but get my local news from home (Accy) by navigating the awful Lancslive and Telegraph, although I'm only allowed about 5 articles on Telegraph before it wants me to subscribe. Unfortunately, decent local journalism is a thing of the past i...

It's worked out okay for Man.City, and Newcastle will be a top 6 club within the next 5 years.

Awful trainers and vastly overpriced. You can get nice Adidas Gazelles, Trimm Star and Jeans that are sky blue with claret stripes and a gum sole that look far better. Can be quite elusive though.

Ticked a few boxes there

You all find it amusing because you don't use the platforms involved. Will you find it amusing when it directly affects you?

That's what I'm saying. The whole lot will go. Do you think they're going to blackout all the popular social media sites and leave sites like UTC alone for us to discuss anything? Thats what is going on. A tin foil hat wearer on a protest march in Manchester 6 months ago told me this would happen. I...

This is just the start. Believe PayPal is also down. Be banks next, then phone lines, the whole internet. I can't believe there's only me on here finding the whole thing strange, especially after the last 18 months.

What's happening in the world right now is far bigger than Brexit.

All down worldwide. Something dodgy going on. Cyber attack or mass censoring.

I believe James Gandolfini's son is playing the young Tony Soprano. I'm looking forward to watching this.

Why is it a farce? If their performance levels are improved because they're breaking FFP rules, why shouldn't they be punished as a result? They're having their league positions inflated at the expense of other clubs. It's a farce because a league is there to decide the best and worse teams over a ...

groove

It's all a bit of a farce when relegation places are being decided by clubs in breach of FFP and administration etc. The performance of the teams on the pitch is of secondary importance. Are we going to start promoting teams for being run prudently too. This is happening every season now. It seems t...

groove

I think it may be to do with the apathy now felt towards the paying spectator in the EPL. It's almost like they've decided the game doesn't need us. The game survived through lockdown with no fans, and most revenue is from TV and sponsorship. The club's at the top level are simply not interested in ...

I remember the paintwork being green - just wondered why you would choose green with our colours. I can remember early 80s standing on the Bee Hole and there was a bubble on one of the barriers. I picked at it watching the game until it released its still wet paint capsule, which i proceeded to lea...

Eh?

The Turf looks really bleak on that Fall video. Why on earth were all the fences and barriers painted green? And surely that advert is an oxymoron - Stones Best Bitter. It was rank bad stuff from memory. Bleak but beautiful in its own way. No-nonsense, unpretentious, foreboding, intimidating functi...

groove

I think it was the early 90's when the ground was repainted in our current colours. I always thought the paintwork was maybe a throwback to when we played in green, although the ground had been completely rebuilt since then. Maybe it was the cheapest paint, standard council parks and recreation grou...

Stephen Fry and Billy Connelly have done decent USA ones. Not recently though.

I did a couple of short sentences in the late 90's, early 00's. Just in local prisons Preston, Kirkham, Forest Bank. Preston was grim back then. No electricity in cells, so unless you had a battery powered radio you read a lot. Kirkham was a laugh, 20 lads in an old air force billet playing cards an...

Local journalism is almost none existent now. The Accy Observer is the same. In the age of information super highways it's ironic that the local, personal and most relevant news seems to be of little importance.

groove

A nil nil at Stockport was the Friday night when it all kicked off. We were flying after 2 wins at the start of the season, top of the league after putting 6 past York. Comstive missed a sitter in the last minute, one on one with keeper. That would be 1988 I think.

Didn't know that. On Sunday my card was taken off me by the turnstile operator!

Probably a stupid question but if we scan our own cards, what's to stop adults getting in with a kids ticket?

Ronaldo was at Man Utd 2003-2009

We didn’t play them during that time in any cup games

The only game we played against them in that period was Stans testimonial in 2004 and he wasn’t in their squad

Ahh right. Thanks for the info.

I'm pretty sure Ronaldo has played at the Turf before. Hasn't he?

More of an anti-hero than a bad guy but, Michael Douglas in Falling Down.

Think he would have liked to have kept Tueart Add non City players which didn't help Powell, Baker (loan), Hansbury and Waldron come to mind Overson came good for Bond recovering from that bad injury He certainly preferred signing players he'd managed before. I think he managed Hansbury at Norwich,...

Good report as always Tony. As a sidenote, do you mind me asking why you didn't use the supporters coach?

If you think about it, when you actually say it it’s not t’t’Turf, it’s are you going down Turf, the t’ is merely implied, a linguist probably has a name for it, like glotal stop or something.

I can’t remember where it was but he once jumped up and hit his head on the top of the dug out leaving him requiring treatment. He had a big cut on the top of his head.

Looks like the good old football programme is going to be another victim of the digital age. It's a shame really, as a youngster I was obsessed with them.

Always wonder why the big supermarkets have never sponsored teams ?
Good question that!

I'm not instantly repulsed so it's a decent kit for me. Not too busy, very traditional and a more subtle sponsor reminiscent of POCO, Multipart and Endsleigh. Could the blue shorts and socks mean we're getting an all white away kit?
