Yup, against Bulgaria. Was postponed as we walked up Wembley way. It was held the next night. Funny how so many aspects of the modern age would just never allow an international to be postponed and played the following night. Life is getting more complicated.

Does anyone know (without googling it) why my first, Wembley, England international experience in the late seventies was on two successive evenings?

I agree about the hypocrisy criticising flying while ignoring other polluting activities, but don’t agree about the basis of your argument. If I rob a bank and give some of the money to the government to stop bank robberies, it’d be far simpler not to rob them in the first place.

“Seagulls, Seagulls, Seagulls……”

Just to add confusion to chaos, it’s happening for me, but only on iPad, and only when using Edge browser. With Safari it’s fine. That contradicts others. Without any hard evidence to back it up, I agree that I think it’s something to do with the ads. It’s almost as if there’s a rogue advert...

123 steps if you enter WSU near the North stand. And if you’re superstitious, you have to count them all, AND get the total right, or the football gods disapprove, and we lose.

It’s probably slow because all the MA+ members who bought their membership more than fourteen days ago (and who were told they were priority three) are not allowed to buy tickets in their window (must be a cock-up).

Same here. I’m a ST priority three but waited for my Myalbion+ priority three friend’s window. He was written to telling him he’s MA+ priority three and joined MA+ more than fourteen days again. So I tried to get the two of us tickets this morning (lowest common demonitor of his and my...

The last time this was looked at, the conclusion was not to start driving new railway lines through East Sussex but to get the current line’s capacity improved (as you highlight). The problem with the Uckfield route is that you either drive an expensive tunnel through the downs after Falmer to...

OK, so let’s give the middle classes only half a vote, that’ll bump up the lower class and give them more of a say. While we’re at it, we’ll give young people only half a vote because they don’t pay much tax, and old people half a vote because they shouldn’t be voting for the future when they’ll...

I don’t want to be boring, and admire everyone who wants to man the barricades and burn sheep in the Champs Elysees, but Macron made his intentions very clear before the last elections, and was then democratically put in power.

Just loved the hug at the end. Solly was all embarrassment, while RDZ looked most relaxed and Italian. I’ve never got into the current trend for hugging. I was forced into one recently, made a poor fist of it, and was told afterwards that it was like hugging a bag of bicycle parts.

Yes, I get that sneer from my Palace acquaintances. I remind them that Brighton supporters are so old they forget their own names, let alone the words to a song they last heard in the trenches.

The trouble is that people (or, more likely, companies) don’t seem to bother to do so, making picking-up spare ones very difficult. But your point is valid. If people/companies don’t put them up on the exchange, they’re unlikely to on NSC.

At least he’s dropped his cub-scout salute……

What does surprise me us that there’s no 1901 ticket exchange system on NSC. Getting a 1901 spare ticket for a guest is an absolute pain at the moment, but the rules are far more relaxed (donor doesn’t have to pay £20 and receiver doesn’t have to be MyAlbion+). And I’m sure there are loads of...

The arguments put forward here have been strangely measured, calm and logical (with a couple of exceptions) for NSC. I’d like to comment on the “it’s OK to release him because he’s 70 and will not re-offend” responses. I’m 69 and still quite capable of getting very angry. I’m also physically...

A year ago his grammar was perfect. He then slipped into putting intentional, ironic errors in quotes. That’s now totally morphed into full-blown inaccuracies. I’m waiting for the “their/there/they’re” problems to emerge.

How to manage opposition feigning head injuries: take more of your chances. How to stop time-wasting: take more of your chances. What’ll happen if you “stop the clock”: teams will bring-on “corner flag experts”. What’ll happen if you force head injuries off for five minutes: players with genuine...
