When you say first half WAS a thousand times better. Forgive me for not knowing but was this an early kick off please ? ...it was report at half-time KP. Normal kick off. Thanks and sorry for being a dimwit. Long story but I need to talk to the specialist as the meds are screwing with my brain. I didn't really know what time it was. Dafty bugger me

The best bit is that all of the reports that I've read have said it was very much against the run of play. It does seem they have a very suspect defence but I have never believed they would go down. They do have the quality but not the numbers and injury could come into it

Why are folk getting hung up on the below par performance of one player?? We won, well. Every result went for us today, we have a huge game on Tuesday & a great chance to sit very pretty in the play offs. At least try and enjoy it?! Or does there always have to be someone hung out to dry. Jayyyyysus. At least it wasn't Ellis Harrison ! I too sometimes wonder why we can't just enjoy the win. I would take 1-0 ugly wins all season. I share your frustrations about this and it can get me animated at times.

You only saw Gary Linekar score goals, the rest of the 88 minutes he went missing! and Gerd Muller, who also rarely travelled more than about 5 yards Ah, the good old fashioned goal hanger eh lol. I remember that term being used as a kid but it doesn't matter, not as long as they score. History doesn't remember the ones that didn't

You're lucky. I've just got back to Macclesfield having driven through a pothole past the "Cat and Fiddle" and wrecking my tyre and wheel. RAC took ten minutes short of four hours to attend. At least the memory of the three points gained today kept a smile on my face! GM, you our should write to the highways department. I had this happen on court road and had to replace the shock absorber, Refurb the wheel and replace the tyre. I replaced both as a don't like to drive with different tyres on the same axle. It was a drawn out process and I exchanged around 6 letters but they paid out, some 6 mo this later. What have you got to lose by writing ? I did this as I saw it in a book about various by laws on cars and highways. I was pretty chuffed to be honest.

I will definitely make contact with them, if nothing else it might stop someone else suffering the same fate. The RAC (or, actually, a sub-contractor) got me and the car home - eventually. Now to work out how to get the repairs done. Also in my mind is whether I'll have to switch to the trains to get to the game on Tuesday night v AFC Wimbledon!

I thought the commentray was fine. Only criticism is i dont know where we r on the pitch a lot of time. Jog blogs on the ball, joe blogs on the ball 35 yards out would be better I have the same complaint with Bob Hunt's commentary of Gloucestershire games. Sometimes the incidental chit-chat is just as interesting as the game itself, as any fan of Blowers, Tuffers, Aggers and co, on TMS would agree. But the main point is describing to the listener at home exactly what is going on. I want to know exactly on the pitch the ball was struck (a snick to third man / a drive through the covers) and also, as soon as possible, whether they ran 1, 2, or 3. The best cricket commentators, such as Arlott, would ensure they took over from the pundit as soon as the bowler was about to run in. Sitting at home, listening to the wireless, you want to paint a mental picture of the game, which is enhanced if you've been to the ground before. I thought the commentator was awful,spoke a thousand words a minute, and nine hundred and ninety were about the weather or some other irrelevant tripe, You could hear the game going on in the back ground.

Yes - and that's exactly why Blofeld gets right on my nerves quite a lot of the time. Too busy 'being Blowers' half the time to give the bloody score! Annoying because when he dials it back a bit and actually talks about cricket he has a genuinely deep knowledge of the game and an interesting player friendly perspective which contrasts with the standard tendency for every sports pundit to be wise after the event. Can only take him in small doses only these days.
Key thing though is that football is no cricket. In cricket there is loads of filler time - you can't have that in a continuous sport. Mike Kay used to drive me absolutely spare with that 'Beautiful day in Boston, sun shining, flags fluttering, I can see loads of cabbage fields from up here. We had a good journey up from Bristol, passed a few Gashead on the way. Well done them for making such a long journey. Oh, and there's a goal - I think it was Forrester......'

Yes, time between deliveries in cricket to talk about other things and a bit of trivia - Blowers can get away with it more for me! Funny you mention Mike Kay, we used to smile on the way over to Twerton when he'd set the scene about the raindrops pattering on the dugouts, and the steam rising from the urn in the tea hut, as if he'd been listening to Stuart Hall's pre-match patter. Now, Stuart Hall, he had a way words, he could paint a picture, he was a great football summariser ... whatever happened to him?
