By the same token, I like away games where I can still do something else with my Sunday.

Not the perspective of any Celtic fan I know. Or of the club:https://twitter.com/celticfc/status/1373606654986612738?lang=en

It's probably already been said (not read all 6 pages) but can he not hit dead balls? I was hoping he was going to have a crack at the free-kick at the end.

It's clearly Swindon, but as I wasn't there (university exam that day) I am voting for West Ham, cracking performance, cracking atmosphere by Withdean standards. Although the Exeter yellow card medley was fun.

No offense to whoever made the video (obviously could have been for elderly relative unable to attend or whatever), but fancy choosing to experience a moment like that through a small screen.

I don't want to start an argument here as I don't think we're miles apart on most things. Can't really counter what you're saying about Kenny's managerial record before Dundalk. What I would say is that most managers have very mixed CV's, I think most people would agree that you focus on where...

I don't think it's fair to say it was a rewriting of history at all, I just didn't put his entire career backstory into the post. I was just explaining that he wasn't an FAI man promoted from within like Southgate in England, but got the Ireland roles of the back of Dundalk. He was talked about...

A bit harsh. He was only with the U21's as a deliberate apprenticeship before taking over the seniors. He managed the Dundalk team that swept Irish domestic honours and gave a very good account of themselves in the Europa League - possibly the best Irish club side ever (at one point featuring...

This is a fair point, and I slightly regret posting my complaint (partly influenced by being quite stressed by the situation of my father being very poorly). Obviously the difference between then and now is a global pandemic, which is no small issue for the club to deal with.

So about 18 months ago I spoke to the club and explained that my father was unable to get over from Ireland to use his season ticket regularly, possibly at all, due to illness. As he is 65+, asked about having it changed to a full adult one so it could be used by other adults during these...

Out of interest, is there a guarantee from the club of getting a move once your kids outgrow the family stand? Like others, I am also approaching this phase of my life. Wouldn't want to be in a situation (albeit many years away yet) where the kids are too old for the EL, but there's a waiting...

I thought they were meant to wait until they saw whether the advantage worked out in terms of the run of the ball etc. Sometimes within a split second a player miscontrols it, it bounces funny or a defender gets a touch. I didn't think it was like rugby where advantage means if you don't score...

I remember a goal in front of the North Stand c1994 that belted straight back out off the D stanchion or whatever was there. Looked like it had hit the post from our vantage point in the South, although it seemed implausible as we'd definitely seen it look on target. Want say it was either...

And it definitely dipped as low as 16-17k under Hyppia.

I've been thinking today that I may not watch the rest of the season. Obviously the poor results (and the frustrating manner of them) and the prospect of relegation are definitely part of it, but it's more about having to watch the games indoors alone. Having to negotiate having the living room...

He was in their box when White gave the ball away. He sprinted 100 yards to cover in the 95th minute, and without seeing the stats I'd imagine he must have been in the top 3-4 players for distance travelled during the game. There were midfielders who could have tracked back faster and helped...

But track and trace is retrospective. It doesn't make you less likely to catch it off people? It might give you a heads up if you might have been infected. Don't forget all their parents are still going to work and shopping etc so it's not like it's a bubble that has no external contacts...

The thing is, supermarkets SHOULD be enforcing much better protection for their workers. I appreciate this is no doubt not happening. Till workers behind screens, shelf stackers being able to social distance etc, supermarkets are big old buildings. For secondary school teachers it's 150+ people...

I remember a big discussion on this at the time, but my basic points would be: 1. March-December. Teachers were only teaching full classes for about 30% of that time due to lockdown and summer hols. 2. It's covering deaths, not infections. Most teachers are under 60. Most teachers are not...

I think the unions are in a difficult place. A government that could well turn out to be the least union-friendly in history, some very unfriendly sections of the media, scientific data being GROSSLY misused to claim that teachers aren't at additional risk and a general public that are...
