    Have you ever seen a team though start to time waste from the 8th minute? I been going up now an awful long time now and I have never, ever seen any like it.

    Totally daft though. She's known for years that I could only park at Tesco and then known for the last two years or so that I could no longer park there either. I either walk now or she drops me off at Lythall's Lane and then some games picks me back up again from the same place. Just don't...

    Yeah, but it's then the length of time players are taking to take the throw in. THAT is the problem, so like I say, ball goes out, clock keeps ticking. The second the ball gets into the throw in takers hands, the ref puts them on a timer. Would be easy though to indeed stop the watch once the...

    Not much, but it definitely was.

    Just watched the highlights and have to say that non challenge from Grimmer where the ball hit the bar was quite scandalous. Hope Robins gives him a rocket for that.

    Thing is, as the football gets worse less people will turn up. The quality in League Two is dire.

    The most annoying thing is this could all be stamped out within one fell swoop. Very, very simple. Connect and link the ref's watch to the scoreboard. Every time the ball goes out of play the ref stops his watch. Every single player on the pitch will see the watch has stopped and realise it is...

    Rugby league world cup

    I am totally the opposite. I think Union is far superior and find League far too one dimensional. A lot less intelligence needed in Rugby League I would say. Just seems a case of pick the ball up, run a couple of yards, get tackled, pick the ball up, run a couple of yards, get tackled. Every...

    Agree on McNulty. His all round play was good yesterday and he did finally get the goal, but so many times he was in great positions and failed to shoot. He really seemed to lack that killer goalscoring instinct until the goal and he needs to be braver going in on the keeper too. That's twice I...

    Exactly! I have never ever witnessed that before. Seen teams time waste, but this was from about 8 mins into the game. It was quite astonishing really. They delayed everything. Every goal kick and throw in and also complained about every challenge. Their centre back must have tried to get Beavon...

    But in my opinion his excellent cross didn't make up for all the poor play and I don't think Beavon did that much wrong apart from keep getting caught offside. Beavon just wasn't in the game enough, so not praising him, but he too put in an excellent cross for Nazon, from which he probably...

    Trouble is with Grimmer is he gets beaten far too easily. Players just waltz past him with no challenge coming in whatsoever.

    Ha! Just watching it now and realised I had it all on delay. Was waiting for the Aussie innings to start, but just tried fast forward on my Virgin box only to find out they are already 60 for 0. Goodnight Vienna.

    Think this is the way the series will go now. It was vital for England to not go one down. 170 is surely not going to be enough. Once again England have got players in and got going only to not then convert into really big scores. Familiar feel to it all yet again. Only way we can win this now...

    Well certainly a boon then to fans saying there is a lack of places to drink. It's only about 4 mins walk to the Ricoh.

    Is he getting the best out for them though, that's the question.

    They weren't interested at all in taking the ball forwards first 15 mins. Zero ambition. Both Eakin and Garry Thompson said the same in the commentary. Crawley showed no interest at all for the first quarter of the match and they may have tried to nullify us, but we hit the post and if Nazon...

    How they doing financially, you know? Any idea what their break even figure is? Guessing it is a lot less than 2,000.
