I too wish I'd listened to it instead of watching the Brentford match, but at least Postmatch is available on iPlayer (and includes the last couple of minutes of injury time).
...

My point is, I don't see why our match can't kick off at 3pm. There's another match across the river at 5.30pm - but so what? Who makes these decisions, and why? I can't imagine it's a policing issue...

"The early kick-off is due to the FA Women's Continental Cup Final kicking off at Nottingham Forest at 5.30pm on the same day."

A non-sequiter if I've ever heard one.

Just read this on Northampton Town's official site:

This game will take place as above [Sunday 2pm] as the game will be featured on BBC TV's Final Score programme.

Talk about the tail wagging...

I'm not interested in watching it online, it's too much hassle trying to connect my laptop to the TV. I tried it for Notts v Portsmouth a couple if seasons ago and missed most of the first half.

There's no contradiction. It doesn't take many people to fill a pub, and relatively few pubs have BT Sport.

And a pity that very few people in the UK will see the final.

To be fair to Birtles, he probably didn't write any of it. As for who proof reads it, almost certainly nobody.

I'm not saying BT Sport isn't available, I'm saying that for one reason or another most people don't have it. And as for spending my evenings ****ing about looking for a pirate stream and hooking my...

2+2=846

Yeah I'm sure BT will just give away the exclusive TV rights they've paid billions for, out of the goodness of their hearts...

It wasn't last year and it isn't this year.

Most people don't have BT Sport, and all the pubs I tried last night were absolutely heaving, because (as I said) most people don't have BT Sport so have to go to the pub to watch it!

What a terrible way to treat people. If my employer issued me a redundancy notice, and told me that it might be revoked in a month or two if I'm lucky, I would tell them to get ****ed!

The Post is a particularly egregious offender. These days it's 50% clickbait from Twitter and Facebook, 30% thinly-disguised advertorials, 10% human interest stories and 10% stupid people complaining...

It's a shame so few people will have seen the game. It would serve those greedy *******s at UEFA right if it was Liverpool v Tottenham in the final and hardly anybody in the UK could watch.

Seems pretty presumptuous from the Trust. Who would spend millions buying a business and then let a bunch of amateurs "have a say" in how it is run?

No. I hate it when clubs change their "badge". It should be a once in a generation change at most. I think Notts have had seven in the last forty years.

Agree. He's from the Stuart Maconie school of self-appointed expertise in absolutely everything.

I see what you did there 👍

I've got about as much sympathy for Coventry City FC as I'd have for a man who sold his house, blew the money, then realised he couldn't afford to pay his rent.

Clutching at straws maybe but if...

Totally agree. The strategy of believing (in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary) that we belong two divisions higher than we are, and rolling the dice every time it seems that we...

It could be worse. Nihal Arthanayake on Radio 5, who has pretty much ruined Richard Bacon's old afternoon slot, regularly calls his interviewees "dude". Unforgivable.

See also Lu-uhn Town. Drives me mad.

Although for some reason I find Mark Stallard's prefacing of every sentence with "like I say" to be strangely endearing.

This has become an epidemic, and once you start to notice it, it will drive you nuts. I'd like to see Radio 4 introduce a "three strikes and you're out" rule, whereby any contributor who begins three...
