Kinder

Christ on a bike. Just got back in the car and I’m absolutely spent. Wow.

Glad for Barks. He had some lovely first touches and was a threat all game but he and all the others can only do that because of Jason Knight. He is the one that makes those draws wins. That man is the most powerful terrier midfielder I have seen for many a day. He’s not Bryan Robson yet … but he’s heading in that direction. I was blown away by the effort and tenacity. you know when teams press hard and fight at the start of a game that eventually the “super boost” gets drained. Knight just switches fuel tanks and keeps going. For me that was a staggering performance. 
 

 

Totally agree mate, he was my MOTM. He was absolutely everywhere. Really pleased for Curtis as well, I thought he was solid and there was a decent balance with Fozzy.

I’m just starting to thaw out but I loved that. Looking forward to the rare luxury of going to 3 games in a row, so bring on Port Vale!

Got our tickets this morning with no issues.

Delighted to say my lad’s hockey match tomorrow afternoon has just been cancelled, so we can now make it.  Not much left so we’re in the North stand, can’t wait.

Get in! Barks is on fire!

Yes. Me too. Anyone else? Was just gonna go for a run listening to it ??‍♂️

I’ve logged in through the DCFC website instead and it’s working fine.

Yes!!!

Anyone else struggling to listen to the audio through the app? The live icon in the top right has disappeared.

Just got Port Vale tickets for me and the lad. There were only a few left in the blocks right behind the goal.

I'm off the beer for 3 months, so if everyone could not post here till April in solidarity.

?

Same here mate, I’m not drinking until at least after the marathon on 23 April. Might even try to go 6 months. Good luck!

Correct decision, what a pratt. The red has been awful all game, but Osula is a complete div for kicking out at the player.

Never a foul but Didzy needs to keep his head. Cracking half of football though.

We look like a decent Championship side here.

That goal was pure sex.

Yes!!! They was exquisite from McGoldrick.

Anyone going to Bognor Regis on Friday for Rockaway Beach Festival?

No, but the lineup looks good. I saw Yard Act at Glastonbury and they were amazing.

Me again.

I'm applying for Gigs and festivals for 2023, what decent festivals are there around, I really only know ones around Warwickshire and the big obvious ones and we are more likely to get the hidden gem ones...or any venues worth traveling to play at ?

Have you heard of 110 Above in Atherstone? I went this year because Everything Everything we’re headlining. It’s a really small festival, there’s a main stage, a second stage in a cow shed and then a couple of other small ones. Worth a look.

I was very lucky to get Wish on vinyl from Santa. Just finished tidying up and now listening to this, nursing a lovely 40 yr old whisky. Merry Christmas all.

Any tumbling down 10 rows after standing up is only due to one thing.

Too much alcohol!

#siddarn

We used to sit in the Toyota Upper at the BBG. There was a bloke near us and every time anyone stood up, he shouted “Siddarn, turkey”! Didn’t matter whether they were going to the toilet, arriving late, going early, rearranging their testicles, they all got the same treatment.

Saw The Cure last night. Was front row but bladder couldn’t sustain 3 hours ?

They were great but it’s a show for diehard Cure fans. Lots of brilliant music but with the majority of the faves at the end.

Robert’s voice had recovered to his great relief.

Thought The Twilight Sad were a great support band.

Yeah, I’d agree with that. My missus only likes the hits so I went on my own and I don’t think she’d have enjoyed most of it!

Must have been brilliant at the front. I missed the support band but a mate said they were good. I did watch Billy Bragg supporting last night though and was really surprised, he was great.

Went to Paul Heaton at the NEC tonight. Jacqui Abbott was missing again but the band filled in. The drummer sang a lot of her parts and the bassist sounded uncannily like her. They did an amazing job, it was a superb show. It would have been better with Jacqui but the best compliment I can make is that she wasn’t really missed.

I’m a massive Paul Heaton fan anyway, so I was really happy to see him singing more. They played a lot of Housemartins tracks which was right up my street.

I also saw The Cure on Wednesday so I’m having a pretty good week! They played for 2 hours 45 which is hardcore considering Robert Smith is in his 60s. His voice was going at the end, the crowd sang Boys Don’t Cry, but he sounded brilliant until then.

The set was a proper dig into the band’s anthology. Not enough Disintegration for me but very very good.

It was really interesting to see these guys back to back. They’re both in my top 3 bands - if I was seeing Maiden tomorrow night my pants would explode. I have to say, I enjoyed Paul Heaton a lot more than The Cure. Might have been partly because I was right at the front tonight and sitting half way back last night, but Paul Heaton was so much more uplifting. There was loads more crowd participation / chatting. I absolutely love The Cure, but having seen them live a few times I wonder if I enjoy them more listening on my own, through headphones, having a bit of a cry. I still think Disintegration is my favourite album, but give me Paul Heaton for a night out any day of the week.

Both gigs were brilliant and it’s not really fair to compare them, they’re very different artists, but I had a lot more fun tonight. Also, Paul & Jacqui capped their tickets at £30 while The Cure’s were £75…

Tuesday in Nottingham. 

Hopefully Jacqui will have recovered by then.

How was it last night? Real shame Jacqui was missing, how did it sound without her?

Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott next for me, with support from Billy Bragg.

I'll probably come out of the gig and firebomb the local Tory HQ, if only I could afford the petrol.

Is that on Thursday in Birmingham? I’m going as well. Should be a great week, I’m seeing The Cure on Wednesday.

Not rubbing it in at all, I hope it's brilliant.

Please write a review, maybe in the festival and gigs thread.

We had friends go to the Bologna gig and loved it.

I've been looking at set lists and not seen them play Love Cats yet, which seems weird.

Will do. Looks like they’re changing the set list quite a bit on this tour so I’m looking forward to seeing what they play. I’ve never seen them do Love Cats.  We hoped they would at Glastonbury, it’s one of the only Cure songs my wife likes!

He's done some really good new stuff recently. 

I had tickets to see The Cure in Birmingham this Wednesday but Mrs Badger has broken her ankle and herniated a disc in her back. So we've had to sell them. Gutted. 

I bought them the day they went on sale over a year ago for her Christmas present last year and they weee great tickets. Oh well. 

That’s rough mate, hope she’s on the mend. Don’t want to rub it in but I’m going on Wednesday.
