Definitely true on Dave Mc - related to my other post about working at Ceefax in the late 90s, even all the way back then he was sending in great snippets about Rangers to the sports desk that nobody else had. |

York still sticks in my mind as the worst away ground toilets I’ve ever seen. Basically a brick-walled area next the terrace with no roof where you piss up against a wall into a trench |

I’ve done it by using the mixer output through “something Chinese I bought in 2021 on the internet” and then into the phono inputs on my old Sonos Play 5 (which still has them) You then get a “line in” option on the first gen app (after a ton of faffing about which again I think involved a lot of turning on and off again) Don’t know if it will work on the newer stuff |

I had this problem all the way back in lockdown as my Sonos gear is so old. The only solution I found was to stick with the ancient first gen app, which is still working albeit clunky with my three old speakers (2x3s and 1x5). I also managed to rig up an old Technics deck via some Chinese dongles direct into one of the speakers which works on the whole network (and is awesome), but I have completely forgotten how I did it now. If they break that's going to be a right headache. Shame that such good tech gets ruined by stupid management decisions. |

I worked on Ceefax Sport for a few years in the late 90s. By far the best job I've ever had - eight hour shifts basically watching live feeds of sport from all over the world that nobody else had access to, which I'd have paid to do back then, let alone get paid for it. Was quite the skill getting the headlines / reports to fit exactly on the page and on the final whistle, lateness and inaccuracy were not tolerated as so many other places used Ceefax for their info (bookies etc). I was doing Ceefax for that David Beckham England Greece game when we qualified, that took a lot of fast writing! I really miss it, was an amazing job. Pages 301, 302, 312, 340 engrained in my mind.

Feels like a shame it’s obviously gone toxic in a way none of us are privy to, but I don’t get the idea that Kolli has shown that he’s the new Eze or whatever. When? He’s put in a few good crosses, gamely acted as a pointless target man in the Ainsworth era, and sported one of the best barnets of all time, but he needs a wake up call if he thinks he’s set the world on fire. |

You’ll be alright Raging Bull if you get to area early enough, plenty of free parking available I’ve still got my one secret space that nobody ever parks in, we’ve been using it for 25+ years. Mad dogs will have to drag it from me. Dreading the inevitable moment some Hammersmith and Fulham jobsworth figures it out and daubs double yellows on it |

Only caught the last half hour but considering there’s probably 5/6 of our best players not out there been pretty encouraging. I do like the Japanese lad. Has the makings of a real QPR player Field at centre back doesn’t look out of place either |

One of the great Rangers days that bookended by years of shite before and after. That team was truly awful and would have got about three points in the modern Championship. I hated watching them after getting used to the Les era team. Main memory was the lovely weather as well |

For me I’m in a place with two young kids and bills and work slowing down for me and the missus at the moment that 30 quid a pop for a cup game that is usually a total fkin waste of time is too much to ask. Tough times out there, I’d love to take my young lad who worships Eze as well but got to pick and choose |

I love the science but the fact remains we got the one referee in a hundred who didn’t just blow the whistle once it got a bit out of hand. The football Gods were smiling alright The fact all football fans are loving it (I’ve had so many random messages from all over) shows where the joy in football lies - it’s not with VAR nerds with laptops who got picked last in year 5. No shade on you Lazy this is a work of art |
