Barely touched him (accidentally) and you would have thought he had almost taken his head off. How do refs fall for this stuff?

Lord_Bob

Agree Taffy it's bloody awful. I am trying to find a way to get the Sky coverage. Commentators on there are probably better as well.

Lord_Bob

Another Packers fan here. Lived in Wisconsin when I first moved over here. As Oshkosh says, pretty mandatory you are a Packers fan for life at that point. Looking good right now to have a big win against the Lions.

Lord_Bob

I sort of agree DA, but here's the bias that I think we might have been missing (bias might = conspiracy theory in this case), is that that offside was VERY close, yet the Lino flagged immediately. Now, I thought they were instructed to let play go on if it was close then VAR could determine the act...

Article in The Times today (behind a paywall). Good interview. Personally wish him all the best and hope we stick with him.

Lord_Bob

Maybe Andy, but on the other hand, he might be looking at who we have signed and how the squad looks and be thinking "*hit, I could have been part of that."

Suspect C.J. might be thinking the same - been a REALLY good window as far as I'm concerned.

Lord_Bob

No need for a band, blare it out over the tannoy (quality might not be that great) but everyone complains about the "atmosphere" - just a suggestion. Get the place hopping for a few minutes before kick off. JJ would appreciate the sentiment.

Lord_Bob

Reminds me of "Jump Around" at University of Wisconsin at the start of the 4th quarter of a football game. Whole stadium shakes. It's been known to register on the Richter scale. Having 80,000 people there helps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoXHXLYTAgs . Maybe we could try it? JJ would approve. ...

Lord_Bob

Agree on Beyer. He got away with being a right- footed LCB in the Championship but got found out in the Prem. Playing RCB alongside Steve I think would be a strong pairing in the PL - assuming he is fully fit.

Lord_Bob

Another oldie but goody - The Milagro Beanfield War. John Nichols. Hilarious.

Lord_Bob

Taffy, not free but I subscribe to Willow TV over here. Get all the tests with the Sky feed and commentators. Also get ODIs and T20, but I'm not a fan of pajama cricket.

Sorry to hear this Sackville. Lost my brother-in-law to this horrible disease 18 months ago. My understanding is that over here (in the US) there is a vaccine in clinical trials that is showing really good outcomes - 3 year survival and still cancer free. The only concern is that the current adminis...

I would play Laurent instead of Hannibal, at least for an hour, but not man to man. Let Hamer get at least a yellow as he's a walking card. Sheff U. would be doing exactly the same to Hannibal, so let's not give them the chance, plus I think we might need the extra physicality Laurent brings and all...

Lord_Bob

His commentary with Phil Bird when Shakell scored that own goal was legendary.

Lord_Bob

Just build the bloody statue - he deserves nothing less.

Lord_Bob

Ode to Billy Joe. Bobbie Gentry for 60s. Still thinking about 70s

Lord_Bob

Agree. Really good video.

Lord_Bob

There is a great Obit in The Times if you can get behind the pay wall. He actually crash landed near Burnley on one of the 4 occasions he was shot down.

Truly the greatest generation. RIP.

Lord_Bob

Not an alternative view Indecisive, but I was at University of Wisconsin and followed JJ since his college days. The guy is genuine. If you were to choose any NFL player to be associated with your club, he would be the one. Absolute diamond of a bloke.

Lord_Bob

I've given up the 4:30am kick offs (unless it's that lot down the road). I get up at normal time, avoid the interweb for a coupe of hours while I watch it on demand.

Lord_Bob

Did you know 95% of all electric vehicles are still on the road? - the other 5% managed to make it home. :lol: Just got a Ford Mustang Mach E, gave up my Jaguar XF 5.0, Supercharged. Got to say, I am loving it so far. Sacrilege right? Ford over Jag??!! Got a home charger and have yet to use any othe...

Born in Cambridgeshire as were my Dad and brother, but Mum was from Colne, they met during the war. Moved there when I was 2. Dad became a season ticket holder. My first game was Rovers at their place in '63 - 2-1 win Connelly with two goals. Dad handed me his season ticket (we couldn't afford two) ...

Lord_Bob

Really good documentary on Amazon (I think) done a couple of years ago - Roberta. Well worth a watch.

Big loss. RIP.

Lord_Bob

Agree Vegas. There was a nice mix of "tiki-taka" and CJ, Cullen, even Esteve pinging long balls over the top causing mayhem, with Anthony doing his bit on the other end. My God, if Esteve has half the ability as CJ at the long ball, that's the $100M player Kompany talked about. I am beginning to thi...

Lord_Bob

Charlie - where are you in NM? Love that State! Especially Santa Fe which I've been lucky enough to spend some time in. Also love Flagstaff AZ, as you were asking about AZ.

Haven't found another Claret out here in Southern California - yet - only been here since 1985 though, so there's time.

Worall and Humphries as CBs, Pires LB v Southampton. Let's see how Bash does in his "natural" position.

Lord_Bob

Dyche to Watford?

Lord_Bob

Unquestionably they are really, really good, but Tarkowski and Mee did it in the PL. We might be getting a bit carried away, but would love to see them both prove me wrong in the PL next year.

Lord_Bob

He actually gave the second one for handball - it was easy to lip read on TV. Ridiculous decision.

Lord_Bob

I think that's right sjb - my first game (home or away) too!

Lord_Bob

Yes, Vegas, it is and then add COVID on top of that and playing that lot down the road at their place. Really stressful. Feeling a whole lot better now though!

Lord_Bob

4:30am here, on my couch, suffering from COVID, but trying to help the lads on. Result seemed to help!

Lord_Bob

Bumrah is THE greatest bowler in the world today. Unbelievable how he has so few wickets, only 4 so far in this innings. Great Boxing test match btw.

Going to be a tough Summer for England I think. That guy with a Dukes ball in his hand is going to be unplayable.

Lord_Bob

Agree Burnley FC. I didn't see any BFC shirts, but one group of Sheff U fans also had some sort of professional cameraman with them filming the whole experience. Would love to find THAT video! Must have cost a pretty penny to watch your team get schooled like that!

Lord_Bob

Yeah, the camera changed without notice and it took a second to find the ball again. I think I would prefer them just keeping the one camera where you see the whole pitch. It was pretty quiet inside the theatre and with the commentary so loud, you couldn't really hear the actual crowd. Would have he...

Going to COSM LA (https://www.cosm.com/the-experience) with my youngest. Means a 5:00am start, but looks like an experience! Let's hope the early rise is worth it by bringing home 3 points.

Lord_Bob

Richardson sure looks like a player. Hopefully we can get him a good loan come January, maybe even at Championship level. Anyone aware of any club in desperate need of a striker???

Lord_Bob

Boy! Scrooge is rampant on here tonight. Can't say I hate any, but admit to not ever hearing Mariah (sign of old age I guess).

Fairytale of New York is brilliant.

I believe in Father Christmas - awesome.

Just happened to play both today.

Lord_Bob

Just out of curiosity, have we scored from a corner this season? I can't remember. If not, when was the last time? Dara O'Shea I'm guessing.

Lord_Bob

Hat trick for Atkinson! NZ 125 all out. 1st innings lead of 155 for England.

Lord_Bob

That game was wacko! Great fun though, as long as you were a neutral.

Lord_Bob

Happy Thanksgiving all from warm, sunny So Cal. Lots of food, lots of football, and added bonus, the test match will be on this evening. Just got a note from my brother back home telling we about the weather back there - enjoy all!
