  1. I have never got this harsh thing, the manager should pick his best team. Does he wait for someone to have a stinker and give away points before reverting to his best eleven ?
  2. What will happen about the yellows could be interesting, if the same player gets booked in the replay. They will have played one more game than anyone else with regards to the amnesty date
  3. They are very simple valves with little to no maintenance, and can be manufactured to fit any diameter of pipe.
  4. A non return valve allows flow in only one direction. It is at work all the time, It never shuts off flow from the ground to the river, but does not allow a flow from the river to the ground. The venturi effect of the positioning of the outlet allows for the flow into the river, when the river level is above the outlet.
  5. Expensive, and needs quite a bit of maintenance. The club is not very good at maintenance.
  6. If what I suggested was carried out it wouldn't matter if the outlet was underwater, in fact it would be more effective if it was underwater.
  7. If the drain outlet was angled downstream, rather than at 90 degrees to the river, and a non return valve fitted, the river flow itself would draw out the ground water (venturi effect ).
  8. You only have to look back to the Brum game.
  9. The problem can be rectified, the question is will the problem be rectified ?
  10. I blame TV for not changing the kick-off to Sunday or Friday.
  11. I always wondered why we sing about a Barmy army.
  12. I know this might be lateral thinking, but if there is a replay, why don't we just get on with it, and win it ?
  13. It probably doesn't matter if they do or don't cover the pitch, if the water cannot drain away. I believe in the past the postponements have been caused by the water backing up due to its inability to drain into the river.
  14. To be fair, if the Rovers don't win, I will take no solace how our on loan players do
  15. Let's just hope they don't get going this week.
  16. And yet they still expect people to pay.
  17. So Sheron towed the party line, I have no sympathy for him. A good coach should be able to recognise when a system will not work. He accepted to just carry on. People were still paying hard earned money to go and watch that. I will say that I stopped going when the league system changed to no promotion/relegation.
  18. I think you have to go down the apple wallet route.
  19. I was told that George Best as well as being the most talented player, was also the player that put in the hard yards, without complaint.
  20. I remember when dabs were not just fishes, and you could get a bag of scraps.
  21. It might happen at a club that gives a shit about the fans.
  22. It means it is going to piss-it down.
  23. In answer to your two questions. Yes, when Venkys took over at the Rovers, I thought it was a good appointment. Now I have changed my opinion. On the second question, no I have never heard of backfire effect.
