Probably best to stick to Manama but I'm sure the hotels will know of any organised tours to places such as the F1 stadium and the National Football stadium. I found it a great place to visit in December when it was warm but not too hot. It's changed a lot since I was there for 2 weeks in...

I have known Sam for a long time. He was one of life's nice guys. He was involved in grass roots football for all of his adult life and he was very good at it too. We will miss him at Worthing Town and I will miss bumping into him in the North Stand concourse. COVID-19 is really nasty and can...

If only everyone replying to this thread could have seen Horton play. He was inspirational. Fozzie led by example but Nobby did that and loads more. He was such a good leader that he could have been man of the match without even touching the ball. Like somebody said earlier, think of Brighton...

Anyone remember a young lad coming through in the 1970s? Everyone was raving on about this youngster bought from Burton Albion for a set of kit. He made his debut against the giants of Hereford! He didn't do too badly. Can't remember his name but he was MAGIC!

If it was great advantage for their first goal why did he punish Murray for not jumping in their penalty area. I thought the Saints player deliberately failed to jump and Stephens went over the top of him and could have been seriously injured. I may be wron as I was some distance away but I'll...

I was just typing something along the same lines. The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) was introduced to make sure that HMRC weren't losing millions of pounds in unpaid taxes. Basically if you were a self employed builder doing one job for one employer it was deemed that you were in their...

Loved this goal. He won the ball on the edge of the North penalty box, ran the length of the pitch, in the mud, and let fly from about 25 yards with an unstoppable shot. I was standing in front of the West Stand in line with where he took the shot. It was unbelievable. Also agree that any...

Went to Stamford Bridge for the FA Cup second replay against Palace in 1976. Got to Victoria Station only to find out that the game had been postponed. Not sure if it was the first or second postponement but when the game was eventually played on Dec 6th it became infamous for Mr Mullery's...

That was the '82-'83 season. The season we got to the Final.

If you want to save money, buy yourself a Mainframe (yes, Mainframe!) stick a decent Database onto it, DB2 or Oracle would do the trick, and build your own bespoke systems to get out the results you want and not what SAP thinks you may want. I spent a lot of time in a team that was building a...

This isn't necessarily so. The swimming team had their lottery money reduced after a poor 2012 Olympic Games. However, it made them look at better ways of using the money they had been granted and their results improved massively. Next time their money will go up but a further improvement in...

Bought the £250 one of these last year. Couldn't believe how much better it is than anything else I ever had. It even roasts meat joints!!

Great find! It would appear that, of the 3 players that didn't get booked, one was an ex-Brighton player and he scored an own goal!!

I remember a game at Withdean against Exeter (I believe). They had something like 9 players booked and every one was for a foul on BZ. They just took it in turns to niggle at him until they got booked and someone else took over.

This. We have had some very good players at the Amex but no one else had the vision of this great player. It was like he was viewing the game from the upper tier of the West Stand whilst making those pin-point accurate passes on the pitch. Passes that the opposition defenders found it...

Yep, 1967 Charity Shield at Old Trafford. The ball bounced in front of Stepney but went so high he had no chance.

I too think Silk Degrees is a great Album. Boz Scaggs wrote so many good songs. I love Fleetwood Mac's Rumours and Queen's A Night at the Opera. No weak tracks in any of those. Supertramp had two strong albums as well. Not much wrong with Crisis? What Crisis? and Crime of the Century. Finally...

His family are big Bolton fans. Not surprising as that's where he comes from. His dad was on Homes Under the Hammer buying a property for Dale to let out. No doubt he'll end up there later in his career, just like Zamora has come back to us. Nobody could blame him for that. In the meantime...
