What pub is Griffo going to? That's probably the pub for people who like to stand up. That sounds like I'm taking the ****, but I'm not.

Good read. Annoys me when people use the same word twice in a row though "quality quality", sounds as though you don't think the readers will believe you the first time, unless it was a mistake.

Sports Personality of the Year 2012
Barry the Badger replied to jawillwill's topic in General Sports
Wiggins, Farah, somebody else -
I hate that click to read more button. Why? Why do I have to click to read more, and then all you do is take me back to the top of the page but with all the text there this time! Shockingly bad.

Very well done, thought his head had gone there.

Do we get a point for this?

6000 knowing our ticket office.

Tiocketing issues / New entry system
Barry the Badger replied to Raven on the wing's topic in The Saints
There will always be isolated incidents with a new system like this. The question is how helpfully/politely did the club deal with the issue once it occured? -
This happened all through last season. Why on earth they can't catch on I've got no idea.

If anybody has 5 tickets lower tier but would really love front row seats, give me a shout as happy to swap. Long shot.

Try stopping me. Hate sitting.

My envelope was open too, but no tickets missing.

Got ours today. Row 1, not ideal but at least we will be there. The fact that non-eligable people could buy them in the wrong periods is a bit of a joke, feel sorry for those who missed out by actually waiting for the correct window.

Did you record the game? Go back and watch it. Having read your comment I thought "well maybe I had it wrong" so I just went back and watched from 64 to 74, which is when Adkins made the first changes. Seriously, we were not running the show, not even close. We had started to drop deeper, concede possession and chances. If you look from 67.00, we start to come under pressure, Kelvin gives the ball away the defence panic and concede the penalty. From the resulting corner there's a United shot at 68.30. They have another shot at 70.45, a good chance for Van Persie that on another day he could easily have scored. Scholes is getting more and more into the game. Lambert barely touches the ball after the penalty. Valencia gets dangerous crosses in down the right 2 or 3 times. Most of the possesion is in our half, we are dropping very deep other than Lambert who is starting to get isolated. Clearly the substitutions didn't work, to try and claim anything else would be ridiculous. What ****es me off though is the re-writing of the game "we were running the show" etc.... We weren't, we were going to concede, Adkins had to change something and Lambert was barely in the game anymore. Nigel will have to remember not to react so quickly in future to what was a clear change in the momentum of the game. He will have to wait for the fans to catch up and accept things are going downhill.

Whilst in hindsight the changes clearly didn't come off. I could see Adkins thinking.... Get fresh legs on up the pitch, give them something to worry about, get Mayuka on running the channels and giving us an outball. It was actually a very positive change and I'd much rather that than he bring on Richardson and Seaborne as many other managers might've done. Now ultimately it didn't work out and he will accept responsibility for that, but people acting as though it was the worst decision in the history of football are being a bit over the top I think.

To anybody who boooed Guly coming on. To anybody who got up and left at 2-2. You don't deserve this team, you didn't deserve to see two promotions and you don't deserve to see your team stay up. You are idiots. -
His job is to be a pundit, to provoke discussion and to give his honest opinion. It's quite possible to do all of those things really very well without being a **** about it. Anyway, back to Ramirez, are either of next weeks uruaguay games likely to be on uk tv anywhere? I know it's unlikely but you never know....

It isn't on iplayer. Not that I can see anyway.

Dean Hammond - Brighton Season Long Loan Deal
Barry the Badger replied to Big_Bald_Si's topic in The Saints
Why are you getting so worked up? It doesn't matter. -
I would be absolutely gutted if Rickie was pushed out. I would be gutted for sentimental reasons. I would also be gutted because he's a ****ing great player. I agree with Hypo, would rather see us go down with SRL than become that club.
