    Item Thread for those looking for FA cup tickets

    I can vouch for that. Used to live on Allesley Old Rd opposite the fields where we'd play football all day long in the summer holidays. Would see George Curtis quite often.

    Cashless Society

    In the metro before the play off final last year I noticed that even some the buskers had card machines. "Sorry mate, no change". "Oh that's okay, I have a contactless payment facility". Something about it didn't seem right.

    Slowpoke RIP

    We have all lost a valuable contributor to the forum who always spoke his mind. Condolences to his family.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Leeds United Match Thread - Saturday 6th Apr

    I'm half expecting Bobby Thomas to lose it completely, given that the horrible little bastard refused to shake his hand at the end of the game at Elland Road.

    Here's to hoping your hubris goes unnoticed in the Huddersfield camp.

    Interesting article on FLW

    I think a lot of us in here admire Willock and think he'd be a very sound addition. He was brilliant against us when we lost 1v2 to QPR back in 2022 and I'm sure he'd flourish here under Robins.

    Things that annoy you

    People whooping at live music events, particularly acoustic concerts, and especially after a song has started. We don't want to listen to you, you twat, we came to enjoy the music. I am a bit old and miserable though.

    Palmer Suspension

    You're absolutely right Otis, it was a joyous occasion and I think the reason we are still talking about it is that it's been sullied by an absolute triviality with a disproportionate consequence. I think we're all feeling a little bit hurt on Kasey's behalf, as it looks like he's going to miss...

    Palmer Suspension

    Of course changes should be made Wingy and across society in general. As others have already mentioned, almost kicking someone's head off is overlooked while a passionate response to a winning goal virtually at the end of a game which doesn't harm anyone or alter the outcome, isn't. Many...

    Palmer Suspension

    He got caught up in the heat of the moment and I think that most people understand and even endorse Kasey's reaction, but he's a professional and really should have known better regardless of all the shit he's had to go through lately. I fully understand Otis's argument, but the rules are the...

    Help with buying tickets for QPR

    Good afternoon all. Five of us are coming over from Spain for the QPR last home game of the season but I'm having a bit of difficulty buying tickets. I've never bought them online before and the ccfc website currently only gives the option to buy for someone with purchase history which I don't...

    Bit of Swedish

    Any excuse to watch the execution of that goal again eleven times will do for me.

    Impressed with this.

    The City based theme would be a great way to get the ball rolling and would be an incentive to those who would otherwise probably think twice about assisting because making that initial effort is probably the biggest hurdle for most to overcome.

    Impressed with this.

    Sounds like a great idea and it seems to have happened fortuitously. Let's hope that others will take the idea on board as loneliness in old age is a contentious subject to breach given that men, especially, would rather not talk about it, (the same applies to depression), as they are issues...

    Insomnia

    I've suffered with it for a long time and yes, it's a real bastard. One of the major problems is the mental side of it, as in going to bed already worrying that maybe you're not going sleep and if that's the case the chances are you will find it difficult to do so. Try taking a hot bath and...

    Like the 500 euro note in Spain, known as a "Bin Laden" because very few people have ever seen one.

    Best Guitar Solo

    Personal favourites are "Superwoman" from Stevie Wonder's "Music of my mind" album "Angela" (Theme from Taxi) Bob James "Waiting in vain" Bob Marley. Incidentally none are played by the actual artists themselves.
