Whitey Grandad

It always used to be on a certain date.

“That idiot’s” needless substitutions got Sunderland back into the game.

And Brooks. If ever a side didn’t need changing it was the one that played the first 55 minutes today. Martin thinks he’s a lot cleverer than he is.

Buy four different multipacks?

Ah. So it was an insurance job then

Absolutely not.

It can’t have been empty. All that black smoke must have come from something. A pile of car tyres or a source of fuel oil.

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.
