Liverpool's away kit :lol:

The "Do you want to leave this page" popup is a built-in browser thing for if you've started filling out a form (i.e. the reply box) and then decide to leave the page before hitting submit. Just as a general rule, if I start replying to a thread and then think better of it (often ), I always completely clear out the reply box by hitting the "Cancel" button. No, that share feature is something I've added so that people can still easily link threads via social media. It should wait until the page has finished loading before displaying.

Really? The Daily Mail makes much more revenue from its website than it does from selling papers.

Don't know about a big name but I know for a fact that the club was touting around companies to take over the shirt sponsorship from this summer, which suggests to me they thought they'd get enough from a new sponsor to make it worthwhile ditching aap3 and paying compensation. As it turns out, they've obviously not found anyone who will pay enough, for whatever reason.

"@gossipsfc"... seriously?

No, those are optionally ironed onto the sleeves when you buy the shirt in the megastore.

In Interlaken they had one session relatively early in the morning (about 9ish) and then another from around 2pm. Not entirely sure whether that was ideal for them as that was when the sun was at its hottest (got up to 40 degrees one day), but there were daily storms you could set your watch by at 5pm so I guess it was partly due to necessity as well.

Not an official Facebook page, nor does it even vaguely resemble any of the decently-sourced rumours.

You're unlikely to get a proper answer out of the club. The first time they went to Interlaken in Switzerland, I tried to go through the "correct" channels to get information on what times they'd be training, etc. We found where we presumed they were likely to be based on the early photos and the surrounding area, but saw that it was about a mile and a half from where we were staying so couldn't be bothered to wander up there on the off-chance that we'd be able to watch. The club kept stalling me on which sessions would be outdoor and which would be in the gym etc, so we missed out. We had reason to travel up to where the training venue was as we were getting a train up the mountain, and it turned out that the place was completely open and we could have just wandered up there and watched at any time. Summary: don't bother asking the club, just wander up there at a suitable time and you'll probably be able to watch.

If anyone wants to save themselves £25, you could just buy this one from Pro-Direct Soccer, with the added bonus of it being sponsor-free http://www.prodirectsoccer.com/Products/adidas-Tiro-13-Short-Sleeve-Football-Shirt-Mens-Football-Teamwear-University-RedWhite-60786.aspx

Shirt sales make up such a small proportion of the club's revenue that buying the shirt doesn't really make much difference other than adding to a number that Pravda can then trot out and say "it was our best/fastest selling shirt of all time". However, because of the way these things tend to work, it would put a hell of a lot of pressure on those lower down the food chain but still in decision-making positions at the club if a particular shirt sold really badly in comparison to the previous one. Not buying the shirt if you want change can make a difference, it just requires other people to do likewise, which is the main problem due to the sheep-like mentality of football fans.

It is, but you end up looking a bit ****ing silly if you start a "Save our Stripes" campaign only to end up wilfully parting with your cash for a shirt that clearly contradicts your campaign.

So what you're saying is that you're the perfect marketing guinea pig who will buy absolutely any old **** the club decide to throw your way? Brilliant. What was the point in your "campaign" when you're not even going to stand by your own convictions when it comes to actually standing up for your opinion? Not buying a £42 shirt is not going to damage the club when it will be bringing in more than £60m in broadcast and prize money next season, along with around £15m in gate receipts.

So this is what the new home shirt will look like... What do you think? Do you like it? If not, will you still buy it anyway?

That was strange, when I first read the OP at the weekend, you were still showing as a Full Member. Fixed now.

Should be fixed

Just updated Tapatalk, would be grateful if those who use it could report any issues.

That doesn't give me CSVs though, only iCal files. Basically I just want a CSV file which has three columns: date, home team, away team. Should be fairly simple, but apparently not

Anyone know of any sites that have CSV files for all four divisions?

Yes, but the ECB likes Lancashire so nothing will happen.

Merged threads together. Assuming there's not quite so much interest in games against Spanish third and fourth division sides, the rest are going to be REALLY bloody hard work to get to. It's almost as if the club do it on purpose...

This is where we'll be playing Champions League qualifiers Schalke and Europa League qualifiers Besiktas: Really fancy the Celta Vigo one, the date's a bit inconvenient though

It's more Latvia 2004/Trinidad & Tobago 2006, IMO.

I don't really see any value in user reputation scores or anything like that - they're far too easy to manipulate (and, yes, people are sad enough to want to do so) and even if someone's got a high reputation there's always the chance that they'll say something absolutely bat**** mental, and vice versa.

Perception of a group of people is always based on the extremities, so despite the fact there are clearly many people who post (or just lurk) whose views are moderate and very sensible (and, realistically, they are the majority), the perception of "internet forum users" will always be that of the utter mentalist. That's life.
