Reply | Players Performance assessed by television viewers as against fans at the game.

When I was a lad (insert violin music here) I used to stand on the concrete terrace on SARd, roughly in line with the school-end 18-yard line. I used to watch Mark Lazarus haring down the wing within touching distance, and Rodney Marsh knocking in the goals. I recently sat in the back row of the west paddock and realised that I must have been sitting in almost exactly the same place. It's a great close-up view of one quarter of the pitch - but you can't really see much of what goes on in the Loft end penalty area. But that's how I grew up watching Rangers,
In between I had many years of sitting high up behind the goal in the upper loft. That gives you a totally different perspective on the shape of play. But I gave it up when they introduced those bright LED advertising hoardings, because I couldn't see what was happening in the school-end penalty area during evening games or in the second half of afternoon winter games. So now I usually pay for the TV stream. I miss the crowd involvement, but at least I can see what's going on. But I wouldn't seek to judge a player's performance from whatever viewpoint I had. Having played football myself, I know just how hard it can be, and I wonder if some of the fierce critics I hear at matches have ever actually played themselves. |

Yeah, why isn't Tommy Robinson protesting about that, then? |

Very interesting. So Ian Morgan got his debut before twin brother Roger - who'd have thought it? |

Wrexham seem to be splashing the cash. Are the owners allowed to just plough in money like that, or will they get caught if they don't get promoted to the PL? |

I'm always astonished that most professional footballers don't seem to be aware that you can't be offside from a throw-in. Every throw-in in the opponent's half should be forward, to a player running wide behind the back line. Wimbledon used to do it in the 1980s, but it seemed to fall out of fashion. |

Thanks mate.
(I watched the first half on German TV, but Frau GloryHunter wants to watch the news now.) [Post edited 21 May 21:10]

Funnily enough, the allotments are right next door to the cemetery. So not far to go at all  |

Fck me - I remember when Police Cars (and Fire Engines) had bells and not sirens. (Mind you, I knew I was old last week when I reached the top of the allotment waiting list). |

This chart really puzzles me. Are they really saying that yellow piss is a bad thing? If you drink so much water that your piss is not yellow, then you will be pissing ALL THE TIME, so you will not be able to sleep, watch football, or fight off the enemies surrounding your village. Colourless piss would have prevented human evolution. |

If we go up via the playoffs, Marti will immediately be lured away up by another club. Failing that, he will be sacked part-way into the first disastrous PL season. Whichever way, it ends in tears. So no thanks, I don't wish for it. |

If these guys have officially emigrated to the US, do they realise they won't get the annual index linking (triple lock increase) on their pensions anyway? This might affect their decisions. |
