[popillius]

Ian Stringer just mentioned Matt Piper's move to "Sunderland United".

The man's a genius.

Has he been banging on about Albrighton all the time

Pretty drab match so far but we haven't really got going yet.

Not really been poor but we can definitely up it more for the second half and hopefully put it to bed.

Hasn't mentioned him. Seems to be talking about the actual game around 40% of the time this week, which is unusually high.

Interminable.

To be fair, Piper has been better than expected on the phone ins for me (low bar). Can’t speak to his commentary as I’ve not heard it. Was hopeless last time I did.

Getting better. There was a time when he'd just babble on about nothing but he actually makes what appear to be rudimentary observations these days.

When he talks about playing and the roles of attacking positions, managing young players, and injuries he definitely can and does speak with authority. Good to hear the improvement.

Stringer gets worse the more comfortable he gets. And he’s very comfortable these days.

Didn’t watch first half. Any standouts?

How’d nacho play?

 

[Blue Maniac]

He wasn't mentioned much by BBCRL, other than a nothing shot from 25 yards or so.

None of them stood out for good or for bad. Pretty dull really.

Edit: Maguire has been excellent.

Lucky there wasn’t a penalty against us there.

You can tell it's not a penalty when the player on the deck doesn't appeal.

 

[popillius]

The quality on show in this match is....well.....there is none.

It is indeed a game of complete bob
