    BBC 2 - Forensics the Real CSI - 9PM

    Why that demographic? Twice as many people in Coventry identify as Asian (18.5%) compared to Black (8.9%) (2021 census data). That cast isn't exactly reflective of the current population is it? How about programme makers reflect Asians in a better light than always in ridiculous stereotypical...

    Things that annoy you

    Absolutely with you on this. Mainstream media should not resort to colloquialisms and slang when there are perfectly suitable words in the dictionary.

    Ange Postecoglou says he wants the Spurs job. When do we reckon he'll get the boot? https://www.matthewcoles.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/happy-christmas-ange.gif (PS - don't know how to embed GIFs :cry: )

    The holiday 2023 thread

    Zagreb is a lovely city for a weekend break, but possibly not as much to do as other places mentioned.

    Things that annoy you

    When we were in America on holiday recently, we were staying in mid-range hotels, and without exception, self-service breakfasts used paper, plastic or polystyrene plates and single use (usually plastic) cutlery. The piles of waste generated from every breakfast session were mind-boggling. Not...

    Pens

    I like the idea, but this would have the unintended consequence of defenders believing that committing fouls or deliberate handballs in the box would not be a nailed-on goal, so would be more likely to do it. It was the same when they made a try in rugby 5 points, with the hope that it would...

    Pens

    A point my GLW raised on Sat was about the fairness of taking the first (or second) penalty. I recall they trialled the ABBA system in some league or competition a few years back, but it never got rolled out more widely. Anyone know why?

    Newcastle

    Tearing up the Championship isn't necessarily an indicator of success in the Prem, is it? But other examples were cited yesterday where that trend has been bucked (although more often staying with a team after promotion - Wilson, Toney, Vardy, Bamford to name a few)

    Newcastle

    Don't you remember how well Callum Wilson did when playing off Leon Clarke back in the dark days of League 2? I think he could play off Vik the same way, after some ongoing improvement ...

    Day Trippers, Glory Hunters....isnt it getting a bit boring now?

    The slight issue i have is with those who refer to "occasional" attendees (who love the City but have their own reasons for not having an ST) as day-trippers or plastic, yet are perfectly willing to get a second ticket for Wembley as part of their ST allowance and have that ticket used by...

    In Turkey, for sure, but why headline news on the BBC website for two days? Is it Turkey's strategic location or it being a NATO country make it more important?

    Be proud of them anyway

    I was nervous for Eccles taking a pen as he'd had a few poor moments after he came on, and i questioned whether he has the mental resilience. Well he put THAT to bed, didn't he? If i'm honest, if there was one person i thought would miss it was Kelly, and he proved me wrong too. Yesterday...

    Panzo

    Lucky, lucky boy! A howler like that would have attracted far more flak than anyone missing one penalty under that level of pressure. He has been MOTM a couple of times in our end-of-season undefeated run, but not good enough generally.

    Wonder if they'll be blasting out Herman's Hermits this evening. Would that be a first?? Gotta be the poshest pronunciation of SISU ever!
