    That's maybe but did it NEED saying and did it add anything to the thread other than detract from the good discussion?

    There is a time and a place and putting it on this thread was neither.

    Just my opinion fella apologies for being a curmudgeon.

    Was only a bit of banter mate, put it this way I'm sure it's gone down better now than it would if I'd posted after the game today and you'd lost. It didn't add anything to the thread, it also didn't detract from it. It was a light hearted joke at the expense of our rivals, it was proceeded by me confirming the thread was a decent topic of discussion <peacedove>

    Very good post and one which i echo the sentiments of. It kind of takes away the magic of going to the game.

    Im glad most of our home games arent on the box as you simply cant beat a 3pm saturday game.

    On the flip side however how lost would we all be withoit a sunday afternoon dedicated to football i mean we then might have to actually talk to our wives/partners.

    We're not exactly pulling up trees at the moment either mate. I'm not going to wish you luck and hope that you win, I do however hope that you serve up an entertaining, high scoring game to bring a bit of life to what has been a pretty dour Sunday so far :emoticon-0167-beer:

    nomoregeordies made a good point too.
    The constant stoppages.
    FFS it gets embarrassing, they get bumped against and stay down as if poleaxed.

    In the old days they used to just play round them.

    The celebrity referees.
    When I was younger I knew the name of one referee, Jack Taylor and that was because of what he had the bottle to do in a World Cup final.
    The referees nowadays are clearly playing to the cameras.
    90% of the time they don't need to blow for a foul, they make the biggest deal they can from the smallest thing.
