I didn't think the red was brilliant last night anyway...

A couple of times Guly was inside despite being flagged off...!

Stil... 3POINTS!
 
As usual the tannoy system is to blame because you cannot hear a word that is said in the Kingsland South or Chapel, so most wouldn't have gathered what was asked for. Applause was good enough, silence is for wars.

It was the usual thing that we had with Papa, so fast off the mark that the lino couldn't believe he could get where he was in the time from when the ball was kicked. A dangerous ploy by Peterborough but if was effective.

Agree, the tannoy is so s**t! With all the money we have in the bank now, you would have thought they'd make it better! Such a basic thing - we don't ask for much, just the ability to hear what's actually being said during match days!
 
I think they used the same system which is used for most railway stations! Actually, I don't think it's as easy as you might think. The acoustics at St Mary's are difficult. You only have to look at how OWTS becomes disjointed after half a verse.
 
If only they could turn the volume up on the tannoy, would help with people not being able to hear properly but I would be able to hear it from my house giving me a little bit more of the match day experience when listening on the radio
 
Have you noticed tonights scores? Leeds 0 Blackpool 5 ft. Derby 0 Cardiff 3 ft. Good results as far as we are concerned, it's useful the others are busy kicking lumps of each other.

A minutes silence is of course the traditional tribute. However, sad a reflection that it is on our society, there are always a few disrespectful pond life who will deliberately interrupt the silence. The minute's applause is an excellent way to counter such scum and, as mentioned above, is a good way to celebrate the life of the person in question

Your right ther are always a few disrespectful pond life who will deliberately interupt the silence........ Remember the minutes silence for Ted Bates was disrupted by pond life that don't live a million miles away from here <whistle>

The majority of people thought he blew the whistle and went quiet to observe the minutes silence and then the referee blew again and many fans thought we had finished the minute but then we realised the players were still standing on the centre circle but by that time it was too late so we had to carry on clapping.That's the way i saw it anyway.Poorly organised by the ref.

Spot on - the referee got it wrong. We all went quiet and when he blew the whistle some fans thought he was signalling the end of the silence so everyone clapped and then the fans realised it wasn't the end of the silence so the applause continued so it became a minute's applause.
