No disrespect to the original poster but I had Virgin some years ago and I would now have nothing to do with them.
Customer service was a disgrace.

On thatday I was Refereeing Tamworth Town ans saw match postponed on the football results in the club after the match.
I assumed there had been crowd trouble then saw the trajick news on TV later.One of the worst ever news reported I've ever seen.
Two years later i had Derby Cty v Bradford , reserves in the central Lge.

I am worth a few bob when I die.
Trying very hard to spend it before it happens. Even bought season tickets for next season. How reckless is that?😄

Wordle 1,054 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Better get a new opener word then 😄 Well done Tel. Just came onto the thread to boast that my sister in law also got a hole in one. On reflection a good starting word. Meanwhile this mere mortal got a three.😄

Probably the worst signing we ever made. (I know there have been many others) I recall at the time there was a multi page thread on here prior to him joining us. Many were in favour although I am sure they would deny it now. For me it was the biggest indication of incompetence from Hughes and the senior management and the start of our demise as an established PL club.

Heard a fact this morning that I didn't know.
When the four min mile was broken the record only stood for six weeks before somebody bettered it!!

It will e interesting to see where he goes. I wonder if he has a move already lined up. I wish him luck but hope that it is not to another Championship club.

Watched Man City last night and again highlights on MOD.
I despair at some of these referees.
The first penalty was a joke and then the second blatant spot kick required VAR and a delay to make a decision.
Clearly an unacceptable level of incompetence.

Yes it was offside I had a clear view of it.
Refreshing to have linesmen who seemed to know how to do it properly. We have had some shockers this season.

Rotherham goalkeeper Johanson is buying 600 pints for fans in a town centre pub before there last match of the season to thank them for their support.
He will probably leave due to their relegation.
Nice gesture.🍺😄

I really don't see how you can come to that conclusion. We're 4 points clear with only 2 games to go and 7 teams below us with Birmingham having to play Huddersfield. It would take a miracle for us to be relegated now. How long have you been a Stoke fan? 🤣 😉😭😄

Stoke Women beat Baggies 2-1 at the Bet365. we nearly always beat west bronm Are we allowed to call Women women now a days? Is it belittling? Sorry I am confused. 😉

When this is eventually sought out the ticket office is going to be inundated. I am sure that many are waiting to renew there ST depending on which division we are in next season. Div 1 holds no appeal to me I am afraid.

Coventry v Manure. For the first half I have spent more time scrolling through the Oatcake.
Big decisions to be made. Second half or Fulham v that other team??

Strangely I thought the linesmen were ok.
So many games this season they have been abysmal. Several offsides yesterday would have gone un flaged with the the below average officials we normally get.

Pre match I thought thank heaven we are going to have a good reliable Pl Ref and he has only been appointed for a purpose as it was a vital "six pointer".
Well I was wrong and it really was a poor performance.
Is he out of favour with the PL and was this a step down to test him?

Back in the good old days 😉 there would be a player on both posts for corners and some free kicks. As soon as the ball is cleared the entire defence would move out as fast as possible. Still think it would work at our present level.

I would not be surprised if some PL teams comes sniffing around close season.
BJH zand Burger could attract a lot of interest.
Personally I think we should do our utmost to hang onto them.They should be a major cog in our much-needed rebuild. Silly offers of£10mil or less should be rejected quoting a min of £20 mil which hopefully will keep the vultures away.

It's that time of year again. The build up this week has been really interesting with some excellent interviews and press conferences. I have been watching for years and never realised untill Tiger said yesterday "It's a really tough and tiring walk. Basically you are playing on the side of a hill".!!
The competition starts on the back nine on Sunday was another thought that struck me.

Looked it to me. Not the pass for the goal but the initial pass, he looked way off. Having just seen on sky I still can’t decide if second pass fractionally off, first pass looked ok! In front of us in block 16 and everybody was screaming off side. Wondered if he wasa PL lino used to VAR? He flagged for everything after that.

40 MPH is about 35 knots a full force 8 gale.☔🌪️ Anybody in the squad with a long throw? Pre match I thought few of this squad and SS have never played at the 365 when the wind blows. They handled it really well. First half high balls over the top were stopping and dropping mid air. Created several awkward moments but unfortunately we never capitalised . The best game and crowd atmosphere I have seen for some time.🥳

Forecasting a full gale blowing straight through the two open corners and swirling around the ground. Could be a major factor ? Looks blowy doesn't it? 40 mph or so. It's the fag end of Storm Kathleen over Ireland I believe. 40 MPH is about 35 knots a full force 8 gale.☔🌪️

I recall a very windy mid week game in the PL. I did not bother going as I thought "They will never play in this, it will be postponed" Much tomy suprise they did play and I missed the match. The descission I would imagine is down to the officials.

I really don't care for any of them.
For the first time I am seriously considering voting for None of The Above.
