Re: The BBC - a continued failure

Oh Dear Chris111 if the 20th Century ever taught us anything, it is that Socialism and communism don't work in a capitalist society. Perhaps like your not so great leader you hanker back for the 1970's when strikes were commonplace and nothing British ever worked either through bad manufacture or l...

Re: The BBC - a continued failure

And the BBC 10 o'clock news reported sport in this order : Tennis F1 Hamilton Academicals v Dundee Utd (crowd 2,612, no really!!) Blackpool v Exeter (irony!) ( Blackpool only sold 6000 tickets due to ongoing supporters dispute with the current owners) Americas Cup sailing Golf England v Ba-Ba's

Re: Ellis Genge - a target for refs?

R. Cockerill:" I'd rather be pulling him out of a fight than pushing him in to one".
That said, Genge still needs to learn how to react when provoked .

Re: The BBC - a continued failure

Well, there was me having a little (and regular) moan about the BBC's coverage of the 15 a-side game (and ITV perhaps even worse as Tigerburnie points out) and, blow me, if I haven't kicked off a political discussion!! That wasn't and isn't my point, folks, and thanks to chris111 for acknowledging t...

The BBC - a continued failure

Exeter win the greatest Prem final ever and get dropped to 5th place in BBC sports headlines, behind the FA Cup Final (understandable), a ODI v the Saffas (probably OK ), and moneybags Celtic continuing to bully people whilst their manager is celebrated as a genius, and Lewis Hamilton fails to get o...

Re: Matthew Carley - an apology

True John the Griff but I have a friend who is a shopkeeoer/restaurateur trading in Twickenham and they love it when Tigers are at Twickers because they seem to spend more than other fans. Moderators, Noddy's post is clearly off-topic !! Back on topic, Carley has now done a Prem semi, the Champions...

Re: Owen Williams - an appreciation

He's been a top player for us, developed really well. But for bad timings of injuries he'd probably have more international caps too. It's also a shame he's the exact sort of player we need to sign. Yes - we might argue over the relative merits of Ford and Burns but I don't think many would favour ...

Re: Matthew Carley - an apology

Out of interest, did any posters watch Not-Nots v Tykes, and therefore have an opinion on Carleys performance ?

Re: Cockerill leads Toulon to Top 14 final

I think it's brilliant for Cockers because Toulon is, from the outside, such a dysfunctional place to manage. Do we think Ford could have achieved this turnaround ? And , as for Saints, after such a naff season, as our nearest and dearest, congrats to them for putting some gloss on it......even if o...

Matthew Carley - an apology

I came away from the semi spitting tacks about his performance. Several Wasps fans felt the same. One described him as "evenhandedly bad". However, I thought he made a pretty good job of last nights Championship play-off between the Not-Nots and Tykes, not least because it was a particular...

Re: New Fans

The choice is between a very well established club with strong fan base and crowds of 20,000 plus without having to give tickets away and a club that lets face it may or may not be there in 5 years time, with rumoured 30 million debt and not even able to fill the ground yesterday even though we mus...
