    We need automatic, nothing less. As much as I Love London, our latest trips to Wembley have not been a bundle of fun, the  play offs are too much of a lottery for my liking

    When parents we know are desperate to use autism or ADHD to excuse their child's awful behaviour. 
    In my head it would be something that I'd explore after I've put effort into parenting. Not before.
    It's hard to be understanding when one kid has pushed other kids off the bouncy castle all day while you occasionally mutter "oh George, don't do that please" while having your eyes glued to TikTok/Insta

    Apologies for being sizeist but I give this example as someone who's not quite as svelte as I used to be....Two rather (make that very!) large ladies waddling (literally) side-by-side on my way back from the match last night - taking up the entire width of the pavement. Thought it but stopped myself from saying out loud "Would you mind moving your fat a*** out of the way so the queue behind you can get past....."
    Felt quite proud of myself for the huge amount of self-control I showed - particualrly considering the mood I was in after watching that dross....

    Not at all. I’d like them to stop all the ‘this is what they should have done’ and actually tell me what is happening. Preferably with less doom in the voice. 
    ‘it’s only a matter of time’ is one of his doom laden comments for example.

    He ruined the match commentary on the radio for me today. Never like it when miserable Eric Steele is on either. Switched it off.

    After being highly critical of his commentating, I thought I should give him a chance and see if he’d used his absence from the airwaves to possibly listen to other commentators in order to improve - and to be fair, there were some improvements.
    More often than not, I had a rough idea of where the ball was on the pitch (something lacking during his previous tenure), and I don’t think he mentioned anything about pigeons or trains (though I only started listening at kick off, didn’t listen at halftime and switched off at the final whistle so maybe he filled other parts of the program with his usual obsessions.
    What I struggled with (other than the depressing tone of the whole affair with him and Eric trying to outdo each other in fault finding) is his utter obsession with proving how clever he is because he’s managed to qualify as a ref - several times he banged on about one of the Barnsley players having illegal shin pads - he kept putting himself in the place of the ref (“Don’t you talk to my assistant like that”) and tried to show off about his knowledge of the rules (“Most people don’t know that rule”) - geez it was tedious. He’s like the boring bloke in the pub that you try to avoid…
    i wish him well in his recovery from whatever struggles he’s been going through but I can’t help thinking he’d be better served by joining his lad in the away end (has another RD football commentator ever felt the need to mention their family during a game?), possibly dressed in his full referee’s kit and waving cards towards the pitch. Dom (and dare I say the listeners) have been harshly treated by his return…

    Whenever I hear Malcolm Christie, even if after the game, in terms of punditry his analysis seems good, you’re given a feel he knows what he’s talking about but he’s far more upbeat.
    Steele may have been a good goalkeeping coach, knows his onions but boy us he dull on the radio this season; he’s full on grumpy old man.

    I like him. I like his chatter. If he was my manager I would do a bit extra for him. 
    I think those who don’t like what he says just have an entrenched dislike of him/his style of football.

    Ewe Ram reacted to GangwayD in Meerkats   
    Most of his interviews are bizarre and the press must love it.  They ask a question and he rambles on, and starts answering and asking himself questions he thinks might be coming.  
    At least he has some personality and it's not the stock answers most managers trot out.
    I do think he sets himself for a fall though by being far too honest - he will/should learn from this.  
    I also think, as a player if you are with him you'll go more than the extra mile, so hopefully they have all bought in to his ethos.  I'd bet if you are an outsider, then he wouldn't give you the time of day.  
    Ultimately, he's a complex character and I'd love to share a pint with him and talk football.  Whenever your free PW - your round !
    Cheers

    With respect, I'm going to respond to this... particularly the emboldened bit... on a personal level... mate to mate...
    ... and all whilst posting on an internet forum built specifically to discuss matters far and wide, and therefore being a little contradictory/hypocritical.  (Me, not you!)...
     
    1/  It ain't your problem.
    2/  There ain't nothing you can do about it.
    3/  Your opinion... if and when you make one... won't have the slightest bearing on any outcome... should an outcome ever be reached.
     
    And now for something far more important, and yet so far off topic I risk a ban...
    IMO... In my opinion... IN MY OPINION!!!...
    4/  Far too many people worry/concern themselves/give consideration to stuff that they can do nothing about.
    5/  I'm surrounded by folk (Out here in real life) that analyse the feck out of such stuff with one hand, whilst with the other hand, throw hints and claims relating to mental infirmities/stress/lack of sleep/mentally-related health issues/anxiety/etc/etc.
    I truly believe the two go hand in hand.* 
    My boss in particular, and my wife to a lesser extent, are both "guilty" of the above.  As are others a little further out in my life.
    If anything in life "drives me crazy", it's this! 
    "Why analyse it"?  I cry!  "Why lie awake thinking about it?".  "Why make yourself ill over it?" "How the hell is this ever going to affect your life?  It ain't, so let it go"!
    Chill.  Relax.  Enjoy the good which is all around us.  
    "Mental health" is going through the roof!  We don't help ourselves.
     
    *I fully appreciate there are those out there who of course, have mental health issues effected/caused by actual problems directly affecting them, and which they cannot solve.
    Let's concentrate our efforts on helping them.  I'm a big fan of that (And family history, hopefully all in the past now, touch wood!)
    Analysing and/or worrying about stuff nigh on a stratosphere away is not healthy... I repeat... In my opinion!
     
     
    There.  I feel better now!  👀

    Ewe Ram reacted to Stive Pesley in Season Tickets 24/25   
    Puts it into perspective - I had 20 years unbroken season ticket up until Covid happened. I then held off renewing because it was far from clear as to when the restrictions would be lifted. Then I got ill and had a major op that left me unable to do anything for a year or so.
    Since I've been back on my feet I've been going to maybe every other Saturday home game 
    I'd sort of told myself that next season I'd get back on board with a ST, but for me and my lad it's £600 behind the goal (which I'm not a massive fan of) and £800 on the side. Not having had a pay rise in all that time, and the cost of living soaring - there's absolutely no way I can afford it now 😞
    Not going to have a dig at the club - but football in general is becoming completely unaffordable for families.

    I'll be renewing with two kids.
    Would be nice if the club offered something like a draw prior to each game remaining this season from season ticket holders renewing early. Winning something like a meal at the yard beforehand, or a game in a corporate box as a guest of the club, or vouchers to spend at the concourse if you get served in time.
