Outside the ground as we were walking to the coach park from east lower a fan split from the group and to smirks and giggles from his mates decided to try and walk into a mum with her daughters (even changing his path a few times to mirror hers)
Sadly for him I was accidentally between them...
Again this is using duff stats assuming that var corrections are correct. It doesn't take into account situations like adingra's pen appeal last night where an error was made by onfield ref and var failed to intervene
Being there wins hands down.
You work bloody hard to earn the right to be there. But once there, you have to prove that you deserve to be. And we did - home and away.
We might finish 10th, 9th, or 7th again and maybe not qualify but we can never lose the fact we did play there
And our penalty not given which was a clear and obvious error but not corrected? But it's also the malaise it has brought whereby on field officials won't give things they would have done pre var
What people are ignoring is that var has made the standard of on field officiating even worse. There is next to no way pre 2019 that cucurella would have been awarded that penalty. Whereas adingra's would most likely have been. But Gillett, Salisbury et Al have joined a bloated group of sub...
If you are going to quote from the andrew neil/adam Smith institute funded spectator then please give the full context. Rather than this being because we are overrun by foreigners, it's because we were a net emigration country but we are now keeping so many more people who aren't going to...
It was good that the club put this on, pub was very busy and I do hope sodexo don't learn that 4 people behind a bar can serve 500 customers (it was chaotic).
I know pbobe spoke but the mic/sound wasn't great so couldn't hear a word. I think it something about the meek.
I left just before 1pm...
They were a darn sight better than the random drunk lady who got on at York after a hen do, sat next to me, cadged a beer, sent my son to the buffet car for a sandwich and offered sexual favours to the train guard if he didn't penalise her for having a ticket for a different train. Luckily she...
A long long day but a great one. Met some decent newcastle fans on the train up and in bars after the game. Talked to a few of theirs walking back to the station and they were complimentary about our team/club and how we handled them yesterday.
Every club has its dickheads but I didn't seem to...
Rottingdean is my sons team. Sarah will be fondly remembered as she undertook every role at the club and when my son did his cricket leaders, she supported and helped him. Her husband passed away last year. She also taught me scoring and was very polite/helpful with my umpiring (explaining that...
My son did the young leaders programme and has been helping coaching the youngsters. He is now playing mens 2nd/3rd 11 on Saturdays.
My other son sadly has hung up his bat this year which is a pity as he has potential but just wasn't enjoying it last season as having to play up a year (and...
