Not at all. Me too, actually that’s why I’m enjoying posting on here and not on social media as it’s more civil and avoids going round in circles even when opinions differ 👍 Enjoy your Sunday

It’s an obvious comment but they’ve got to win at least one of the first two tests to have any chance of winning the series. They’ll need more than one batter scoring heavily in every innings though. If Root has a 400-500 run series and the rest have 1 or 2 big knocks each then they’ve got a...

Highlighted by Chris Philp’s interview on the BBC just now. He couldn’t even bring himself to say it was a racist comment. That’s not to say that every person who’s made a racist comment or joke has deep rooted racist beliefs but if we’ve reached the stage where we have to say “that’s not...

I’m not looking for an argument but I think you’re misunderstanding my point. The added time is a very minor part of my issue with how timekeeping works in football in the professional game. Agree to disagree on it being an issue 👍

The lack of transparency is my issue. If this idea of a time limit for throw ins, goal kicks and corners comes in, it seems strange to me that the ref on the pitch is the one in charge of timekeeping/policing this when (as Smurph says) they’ve got far more important things to be focussing on.

Weren’t the Ospreys owners linked with taking over Cardiff a few years ago? Same story being rehashed? If it happened, they could call them the Cardiff Ospreys…then revert to just Cardiff in a couple of years after realising only people in the city and VOG were supporting them!

The commentators know, because they’re listening to the refs being miced up. The managers only know if they pester the 4th official. It’s just too open to interpretation at the minute IMO. There’s no consistency in terms of when they stop and re start the clock. If it was transparent then...

Games should definitely be played at the stadiums in Cardiff, no arguments there. The fact that them and Llanelli have been allowed to be ‘super clubs’ is my bigger bugbear than whether there are 2, 3 or 4 regions and where they play.

Yep, easily fixed if there’s somebody pressing stop on the stadium clock whenever the ref wants to stop the clock like they do in all other sports.

I get that and obviously there never used to be a board held up. I just think that when every other sport in the world can inform players, managers and supporters of the time remaining then there’s no excuse for football. There’ll still be arguments about when and for how long it’s stopped...

Yet another example in the Brentford v Liverpool game why football should join every other team sport at the top level and have the ‘actual time’ shown in the stadium. The ref may well have been correct that an extra 90 seconds was required, but how it can be at the whim of one man with no...

17 years… crazy how quickly it goes

Agreed. Any restructure was/is always going to be Cardiff +…

Bauza?

Apologies, I thought they’d opted out 👍
