If he's not he needs to seize tonight.

Looks like he is in water, hope he proves me wrong.

Barton has him in his pocket so far

Geoff Foster unsure on what the applause was for....

 

[Nick]

Penalty given by lino

Definition of insantity...........

Why on earth do people turn up last minute and expect anything different to what we have done in the past ?

Because it's all very simple. In my business we treat our customers with respect and not like pieces of shit. If a customer wants an account we arrange subject to usual commercial deal. If they wish to pay by credit card, we accommodate. If they wish to pay by cash, that's fine as well.
If somebody wants to make a decision at 6pm to go to a football match they should be accommodated.
It's just incompetent and arrogant that they should treat there customers in the way they do.
They pay these people on the turnstiles a minimum wage, so should be very simple to recover the cost.
In business, like life, you reap what you sow.

Lino awards Pompey a penalty after their man skins us and we kick his heels after

 

[Nick]

Ref had a great vuew bit didn't give it

 

[sw88]

Who clipped the heels?

 

[Nick]

He will score

 

[robbiekeane]

Geoff Foster sounded like he was struggling on Saturday. Hope the bloke's alright.

terrible commentator.

Who's the bloke who just had to come on and explain what the 15 minute applause was for? He was on more often last year and was decent enough.

 

[Nick]

Knew it, he was scoring for fun in warm up

 

[sw88]

Chipped Into the net

[sw88]

Could have conceded a pen with the corner just before that, Haynes all over his man

 

[Nick]

Messing around at the back to much

 

[ccfcway]

squad Sky sports saying "tenious"

plenty of time left and even if we lose, we will be a lot stronger squad in Sept.

All good for the fitness this.

 

[sw88]

RCC called into action after a shot come cross was deflected towards our goal. Easy save but a chance they shouldn't have had

 

[Happy_Martian]

For the peeps in the Ricoh, what does the attendance look like ? On the radio, its sounding more like a reserve match than a cup game.

It was the same Saturday. Became predictable, and Swindon took advantage.

Good to see we have learnt from last season!

Its the £1 booking fee that did it

 

[Nick]

Stevenson flaps out of a challenge that would have made him.

Good chance for tudgay, keeper saves and just behind tudgay

 

[Great_Expectations]

How did he miss the ball??!!

 

[sw88]

Cross towards Rose who heads across goal, Tudgay gets there, but can only head at the keeper, he parried and Tudgay can't get into the rebound

Reminded me a bit of Barton when he backed out of that challenge

 

[ccfcway]

They were overwhelmed with the amount of people who wanted an 'on the day' ticket...

It's not simple actually - the club were berated for not using ticket master and now they have. If you have a concert which hasn't sold out you can't pay on the gate. Go to a theatre - can't come in a minute to go and expect to get in. Your comparison is shite really.

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Dave Bennett sounds pissed.

agreed. Its a symptom of football. If they got into the habit of actually booking tickets, there wouldn't be an issue.

I have never paid on the gate of a concert

 

[Nick]

That was Haynes then, their player played it and Haynes is injured.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Gadhzev gave the penalty away

 

[sw88]

What was ref looking to see then? Advantage? Haynes leg was taken clearly and the ball was going nowhere?

Relying too much on his Lino this fella!

 

[sw88]

Cheers AFC! Shit commentator I am missed it (well I seen it but couldn't tell)

The ball was already played by their man wasn't it?

 

[Great_Expectations]

I don't like being critical of our players, especially youngsters, but G Thomas has absolutely nothing about him.
