Portsmouth was an incredible experience. Just a routine midweek game but the crowd was so loud that it’s the only game where I’ve not been able to hear the referee’s whistle at any point.

Fratton Park, Upton Park and St James' Park (Newcastle not Exeter) are easily the loudest grounds I've watched Swindon at. Of course the common denominator is that The Mighty Swindon Town were playing there.

Bedford Roughyed Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrumonside ref Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) Spain looking very impressive tonight against Germany in a winner takes all game in the UEFA Nations League. Leading 3-0 at halftime. Top of the group goes into the next phase. EDIT: This finished Spain 6-0 Germany FT (deservedly too!)

I was there on that great day. However I've never seen the Leicester goals since. Even though I know we win this Wembley classic, I still can't bring myself to watch them again as it was so gutting watching them the first time. I just forward past those nightmare 11mins onto the greatest penalty ever.

I think Herr Klopp might want to start padding his players up like medieval pikemen, given there is a Liverpool's History as Pikeys, because of the River (Sorry, forgot that), that could be appropriate.
