Thankfully I missed the boos as I was busy queuing for beer in what must be renamed the Becchio bar - completely ineffective at doing the job. How I can go down for a beer on 40 mins and not be served until 5 mins before KO is beyond me. Our catering facilities are a complete fucking joke.
Can't disagree with your or Dave's reports. We had 5 centre halves playing today (I think?) when Warnock went off so no wonder we struggled against the second worst team I've seen this season. Austin man of the match by a mile. McCormack I thought was poor, apart from the two excellent finishes. -- > On 2 Nov 2013, at 20:42, Richard walker <[email protected]> wrote: > > Cheers Dave.
