Re: Cricket field stand
I am not convinced by the owners at all. Off field has been poor - catering issues, ticketing issues, nonsense with a drum, the goal music return, constant poor communication, blaming fans for poor results on the pitch during the VK season, issues with seats. If I was in the CFS I would be gutted. T...

Re: UEFA European Women's Championship
Ref actually did a decent job of letting the game flow. Got a few wrong but calling her performance dog **** is well wide of the mark. She was shocking. Inconsistent beyond belief. You do not let the game flow and ignore blatant fouls because we were prepared to play on whilst the Spanish dropped. ...

Re: UEFA European Women's Championship
Apologies to Carter. When defending a box today she was excellent. Ref absolute dogshit. Some of those calls were abysmal. The Spanish stop, drop and roll. Plus, the old Pep trick of foul if a team counters at pace. Very good second half from us.

We've missed the clean sheet record because of the **** not picking up a foul on Hannibal. Thought it was offside as well. We've had him too much this season. He's always in the way and avoids making the big calls.
