    We just had a hawk land in our garden

    There are literally thousands down here in the Chilterns. I believe 4 or 5 pairs (from Wales?) were introduced on the Rothschild estate near Stokenchurch (J5 M40) in the early 90s and have since spread over a 40 mile radius (certainly as far as Bicester northwards and Swindon to the west). Still...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Not sure how his image can decline any further, it went past rock bottom long ago. What the f**k did we do to deserve this moron and his cronies/sycophants to be in charge when strong and effective leadership is needed?

    Robins post match interview - style

    Along the lines of "last time you beat Ipswich, you then lost to Shrewsbury. Does that worry you playing Shrewsbury again next week?" Might not be word for word but that was the gist of it. Robins congratulated him on finding something negative to say.

    Robins post match interview - style

    You're right, you are easily pleased. I don't think either Eakin or Winch care about the club, they have far more glamorous clubs to fawn over. Eakin's commentary is abysmal and Winch's questions are inane at best - no wonder Robins treats them with thinly disguised contempt. Winch's ludicrous...

    Meeting with Joy Seppala & Dave Boddy - Thursday 27th February 2020

    One of you should definitely go, now that you've managed to get a foot in the door. No need for another vote -the previous vote gives you the mandate to represent the vast majority of the active members of this forum.

    Oggy

    I've never listened to another local radio commentary so have nothing to compare it to, so Eakin might well be better than others - it doesn't make his incompetence acceptable though. No criticism of Oggy at all, he has been excellent every time I've heard him.

    Christ, that doesn't bear thinking about.

    Oggy

    Not really worried how he travels to games. His job is as a commentator for the public funded broadcaster and we should expect a basic level of competence which sadly he doesn't show. It was only when I watched the Fleetwood game on ifollow that I realised the sheer number of mistakes he makes...

    Oggy

    I only tend to hear 20-30 minutes after the matches, but Oggy has been a breath of fresh air compared to Benno; he has taken to broadcasting very quickly and is very knowledgeable/professional. It just needs Clive to learn from him now, although that is probably a lost cause. I physically cannot...

    Where are you watching the game today?

    An hour to get away from the ground on a Sunday afternoon :-). Walking maybe...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Sunderland Match Thread - Sunday 1st Mar

    The worrying bit is that I don't think he is. Scary to have people like that our on their own.

    A call to Arms !!!

    This is genuinely puzzling. Do your principles mean that you would rather we had been kicked out of the league than play in Birmingham? Or are you happy for us to be playing in Birmingham (so that we still have a football club) but your principles prevent you crossing the border?

    Somebody else says he gave McCallum a torrid time for an hour - really? How many chances were created by this magic winger? I can't remember any. Sam had him under control for most of the game and took the ball off him regularly. It's all opinions I suppose, but I cannot remember any teams over...

    Rubbish. He played well yesterday, without being outstanding. Crucial ball for O'Hare's goal, great pass for Shippley for the effort that hit the post, hit the bar himself from a free kick, bullied their winger all day. He was an outlet all game long. Made one bad mistake when he miskicked a...

    Don't hold your breath ;-). Also, great job on the phone-in, just caught up on it; the cumulative effect of chipping away is starting to cause some cracks.
