Whitey Grandad

They passed the hose to the fireman at the front and he passed it straight back.

Usually means no new Pope yet.

Terrible date. I shall be out of the country.

Let’s hope it ignites our promotion push.

Polycarbonate rather than acrylic but I expect there would need to be an inspection of some sort.

Just like the warehouse.

Edit: missing quoted post.

Now for Saturday ☹️

Can't see without logging in

All games must be played. It won't be cancelled.

Lots of thick black smoke. If it's piles of car tyres then yes.

I’m out of the country for a couple of weeks after Saturday so I only hope that I can go to the rearranged fixture. There goes our three week break I suppose. Let’s hope that nobody has been hurt in this fire.

The Daily Echo reports that the walls of the building are starting to collapse. In my opinion I cannot see the fire being brought under control within the next couple of hours. At the moment it must be unsafe for the fire service to enter the building. At the very least the whole Chapel car park will be closed for some time. Even Saturday’s game could be doubtful.

Someone needs to take a decision soon.

Thanks, that’s interesting. From what I had read about hybrids their consumption figures when not on battery power are not all that impressive.

Was that on one battery charge?

That does nothing to explain how easily he gets beaten by opposition players who just skip past him whilst he pirouettes away from them. Birmingham’s third goal is a prime example. He turns his back on his opponent.

Directed by Sir Ridley Scott. Supposedly the accent was West Country and if you listen to it again you can hear the difference. Surprising the suggestiveness of the imagery. https://steepholm.livejournal.com/542986.html?

There are some signings that just don’t make sense from the footballing view. Sometimes the only explanation is that the money involved sloshes around the international transfer market.

I’m not so much bothered by what he does as by what he doesn’t do.

You’re right: it isn’t and he didn’t. Not in the centre circle it isn’t, not when there is a centre half standing next to him. He was virtually holding hands with Bednarek.

“There’s no such thing as a bad goal”

Neither of those are his job. He is supposed to be a full back. He should protect his flank and cover the only opponent who might be a threat. Bednarek is there to go for the ball and if he messes up Manning is there to cover. It was Keystone Cops defending.
