Imagine a country with its shit together so comprehensively, it could have TV listings (in print btw) telling you exactly which Bugs Bunny cartoon it was going to have on.

Just showed my post to the wife and she said “don’t let people think we’re staying in Alicante! Or Benidorm for that matter” I therefore dutifully advise we’re staying in Moraira.

This is where the (very tiny) positive of my situation comes in - he didn’t live with us full time so me and Julie don’t feel as bereft. He’s also stayed less frequently over the last year due to his football (playing, coaching AND reffing)

Hobbesy (@leonhobbes.bsky.social) reply parent
In hindsight it was a great opportunity spurned. Smoking ruined my footy for most of my 20s. I gave up aged 28 and started playing again back home, but it wasn’t as good as answering the question “who are you playing on Sunday?” with “we’ve got Rangers away”.

Surprisingly tidy. Needs to get more pictures up but it’s a nice room, and it’s a really nice, leafy campus with all the sports facilities he could wish for.

My dad did a PGCE there in the late 80s too so it’s becoming a family tradition.

Yeah Dave Scally was gaffer when I played. I recall playing Republic of Ireland one week, and also playing Rangers, who had a nutter in midfield who called anyone who tackled him a Fenian bastard .

Pretty on topic for tonight, but Leeds wanted him, Man U and Man City were monitoring him, but he did one session with Huddersfield and they said “he seemed a bit nervous in post training Q&A so we won’t be asking him back” 😂. Hes 12 ffs

Anyway it’s pretty telling that there’s a nice little bunch of sound Bradford and Leeds fans on here, as there was in our old corner of Twitter, but no Town fans. Still waiting for the internet to be rolled out I guess.

Definitely. Alexander wasn’t exactly an exciting appointment and he wasn’t even first choice - the Cowley brothers turned us down. But he really gets the club and the fans. First since McCall to get the players to enjoy being the bigger fish in the pond.

It’s a real anticlimax scoring at that end when it’s empty, as it has been most games in the past 6 years.

Hobbesy (@leonhobbes.bsky.social) reply parent
It’s set aside for big away followings, otherwise it’s home fans, school free tickets etc. Still can’t serve alcohol cos there’s no concourse hence why it’s so seldom used. Sitting in the Kop a game is always better when that end is full, whoever is in it.
