Don’t be ridiculous. What isn’t welcome is the sort of comment I picked up from you when people were just trying to help. I’m sure it is not your intention to offend however you have done with your opening sentence. It demonstrates a lack of awareness and I also get the feeling it is okay for some ...

NL Claret

I’m getting the feeling that inclusivity isn’t welcome on here. I’ll bid you farewell.

NL Claret

We place these threads so we can offer help to each other and then sadly I read this. Do you what you want NL but I'll confirm again that the easiest way to use the tram network is to tap on and off. It's what the network actually recommends to. The easiest way for SOME is to use tap on and tap off...

NL Claret

If you are, or are not in the Quoon's groovy gang. You could purchase your tram ticket today and have no issues tomorrow. Jockeys, if you have too much pintage don't forget to tap in and out and hope the queues to do this aren't too long. As its general information, the alternative is to buy before ...

NL Claret

You mean like with your scare stories of getting overcharged once? Like I said, you do you, not sure what your beef is. No idea re crosspool, sorry, I don’t travel with kids. General information thread, you said don’t bother with the app. It’s not helpful to maybe those who travel with kids or like...

NL Claret

Chill man, not shutting anything down, just saying the less faffy way is very reliable. You do you boss. It’s a thread to give options not judgement or put folk off using a reasonable way of paying for travel. Less faffy to you maybe, I’d rather travel with a prepaid ticket on my phone, it makes me...

Nobody’s perfect, except…. HIM. *spooky violin*

I’m sure that’s really funny if you are in on the gag.

I was simply providing an alternative option, not sure why you simply shut it down as it always works for you.

Anyway, not looking to hijack the thread, back to general information.

NL Claret

I was only suggesting another option if you are not perfect

NL Claret

Not sure how that could have happened unless you didn't use the same card or you forgot to tap out at the end of a journey. If you tap in to start and tap out to end (no need to if you are changing tram) then it can't go past the maximum for the day. It definitely happened, it probably was my fault...

I use the tram 2-3 times a week and I’ve never been overcharged. Tap on and off with your phone/card, it’s a great system, don’t bother with apps and travel cards.

Used it once and got charged double than what a travel card was, not for me.

NL Claret

You don’t need a day travel card. Just tap in with a card at the yellow boxes on each platform as you get on and off each time. The system tracks you and charges you the appropriate fee the next day I don’t trust it, got over charged once. I would download the Bee Network app and get the most appro...

Not working on mine, but never expected too much. Will watch on PC.

Have you tried on the EFL teams and Derby County channel. Think they are covering it. Could be a different option to listening to Iwelumo

NL Claret

Up and running, get to listen to the announcer and the pre match tunes, have turned the volume down LOL

NL Claret

Channel 11 for anyone else looking

NL Claret

Anyone which Sky Sports + channel it is on?

Got 57 to go through, I’m sure I’ll eventually find it, any help welcomed.

Then again I might be too eager and coverage won’t start till 7.30pm.

Felt last week that Anthony and Hannibal needed to up their game a touch to potentially have the ability to play in the PL. Today they did, granted different level opposition however both performed well. I know it’s early days but the performance against Spurs was decent and they gone to City and wo...

NL Claret

I'd imagine it will be pretty equal amongst other big issues. Can't imagine them wanting to get soaked. Say the club did away with concessions or raised the price (again) for OAPs which prices them out? They won't be getting soaked at home. OAPs don't spend much at the ground, price them out and ge...

Let’s take the roof off the Bob Lord and see how the occupants of the directors box react to getting soaked

Stand roofs and the weather are not biggest issue facing older spectators who want to watch PL football.

NL Claret

My main point is that old blokes sit in the upper tiers partly because the lower tiers aren’t fit for purpose on a cold wet winters night Just reacting to those suggesting that that means that they can then be considered fit enough to walk an extra km before and after the game possibly in rain and ...

NL Claret

Some frail people in the upper tiers would likely freeze to death if wet through on a cold rainy winters night game in the lower tiers as some seem to be suggesting that if they’re fit enough to get up to the top tier then they’re fit enough to walk around a football and cricket ground twice! They’...

NL Claret

I know we are only one going in and it is far too early to make any predictions or knee jerk reactions (however it does feel like there’s a slight under current on this thread) , one noticeable difference between the performance on Saturday and the last season in the PL is that after going behind Bu...

Looking likely Foster will be the UTC MOM yet he's subject to the usual UTC unpopularity and singled out by many. There were far worse than him on Saturday yet they are free from criticism. What would be the response if Foster had a poor game? FWIW, is Foster the answer? Probably not. Do I want Fost...

NL Claret

Have to agree that Ekdal needs replacing, a few times I looked to see where he was and it usually about 10 yards off where he wanted to be. I’ve been surprised by his inclusion, he’s played less than 20 games in 2.5 seasons at Burnley and been loaned out to the Netherlands, done well to get back int...

NL Claret

The thread itself is quite bizarre, almost an obsession about our keepers . Hart, Trafford, Muric all got terrible stick for no reason . It’s like a mental illness for people who have zero clue about GK’s. Dub was fine and will be this season . I’m not a big fan of his but anyone thinking he was at...

NL Claret

Ah yeah it’s just the one game we’ve seen from Foster, not like he’s been here for almost 3 years. Far too early to judge him, I agree, let’s at least give him another 5 years before that. You can keep up the blind positivity, I’m not sure it will get you much aside from constant disappointment. We...

NL Claret

Well that’s the problem with him ain’t it, he catches the eye with some good runs but what does he do at the end of it? Technically he’s so poor he really struggles with the simple passes and he obviously can’t score goals. So what’s the point of the eye catching run? Not sure why you highlighted a...

NL Claret

As mentioned above and on the commentary , Van den Ven is the fastest CH in the PL - but that makes Foster lacking in pace to some UTC posters , some need to see the big picture before criticising the players they don’t like. Foster caused Spurs problems and almost set up Anthony for an equaliser, w...

NL Claret

The commentator and Paul Robinson talked about the power of the volley for the 2nd, you could hear the crowd’s reaction when they watched the replay.

Some UTC thought he should have saved it. Some on here have a very high bar.

NL Claret

Made a couple of good blocks (low down) - impossible to make any overall judgement after 90 minutes against a team with a clinical attack

My father in law tells a story of going Barnet midweek and Burnley fans taking over most of the ground. Not known him to tell porky pies. We certainly had a big following , recall been crammed into a terrace along the side of the pitch. I would say it was over capacity. After the game it was the di...

I remember 2 sides at Walsall circa 96/97, but I don't remember it at Bury Can recall both ends and part of main stand on Boxing Day. Possibly biggest following to Bury was in the FA Cup with 1000s in the Manchester Road End. Rochdale , think we were supposed to having 3 sides of the ground however...

Birmingham City are taking 7k away fans to Ewood park today. I remember going to Bury and Burnley fans taking over 3 sides of the ground. Have rovers slumped to Bury levels of support? Will Birmingham outnumber Blackburn today? I can’t see Rovers bringing more than 7,000 fans. It might be their fir...

Ekdal must have had a good pre season to be in contention. Jury still out for me, I’m not one who can make judgements on players I’ve only see play 3 times. Ekdal played was it 9 games against some championship cannon fodder and then mysteriously disappeared for the rest of the season. Struggled in ...

Some very interesting and indeed personal comments and experiences shared since my OP. For my daughter we paid £500 for a test that tested everything, then a few days ago she had another virtual assessment of answering questions. Cannot give more details of that as her mum didn't tell me much. ADHD...

No surprise, Muric wont want to be a 3rd choice keeper and Ipswich won’t want him sulking whilst paying him decent wages.

Doubt we will see Muric play in this country again.

NL Claret

My only memory of Joe Gallagher was him scoring a header at Spotland, an important goal given the circumstances.

NL Claret

Not a post about re signing him. Just give a pen away v Rangers. Harsh decision.

At last some midweek football to watch.

Do we think it is right that one person can lock a thread? I get why it was locked, but we need somewhere every transfer window to discuss rumours. Wasn't the solution more moderators or turning off notifications? Between mid March and mid May the msg board was very quiet, once the promotion honeym...

Don’t feed the trolls.

Excellent guidance, unfortunately some are unable to identify the classic trolls who love to hijack a thread for their own benefit.

Some are all to easy to identify yet get plenty of food.

UTC players ratings are really not a good gauge to use. Some scored Muric 7s or higher when he lost the points against Everton and BHA. Those who scored him appropriately with a 3 were then scrutinised by the Muric fan club. UTC player ratings are an opportunity for posters to give their faves a hig...

- The players don’t like it. Too much extra cricket. Adds to the load especially if you’re still in the WC, T20 and fighting for the league. - Playing teams in leagues where most players are paid. Northern are a quality side, but they pay well in the comp. - No replays. We went out to the toss of a...

Apparently, the deal on the table is 32m for Traff plus Philips and Perrone?? on loan, according to a Man city colleague who claims to be in the know.
I am suspicious because wouldn't Philips go back to leeds on loan?

I’d be more than suspicious- Perrone signed for Como on Friday

Last weekend’s news wanted us to believe that 3 days of high temperatures was down to global warming and we can expect hot days every summer.

I can recall most summers over the past 50 years have had a few hot days.

He really didn’t. In the PL I observed him on numerous occasions making a token jog back to assist his full back, it really was unacceptable at times. That lack of workrate and discipline was tolerated at times by VK though, and the reason it was so clear to see was probably due to the preceding ye...

If I were a City fan I wouldn’t be thrilled swapping Ederson for Trafford, given his performances in the Premier League last time. I wouldn't be worried because Trafford would not be playing with the shocking defence we had and Kompany as manager. There was little wrong with Trafford's performances...

He kept up, without dribbling a football

Have you not seen enough of Anthony to doubt his technique with the ball at his feet?

NL Claret

No but he ran half the length of the pitch without being caught!!! Could Anthony do that? I don’t think so. Or Edwards? Definitely not. This is particularly relevant since we’ll be playing against higher lines this season. We’ll have to agree to disagree (and I can’t rule out he will be loaned) but...
