Who will the club be throwing under the bus for the Covid debacle?

Andy have to say 3 great ex pros on the show tonight ...

One for Adrian not sure if you played at centre
half with Paul Beesley but could you tell he wasn’t going to be at the club long and that other bigger clubs would be looking to signing him

I have corrected Disso's question for youse.

If that Shinners rocket that hit the bar had gone in they would never have come back form 3-0 we were to good

Will the Covid issue hit clubs, not just this season, but for years to come.

Does the panel feel that limited numbers of fans can safely be allowed to return to sports stadiums including the Breyer Group stadium ??

Sorry guys, usually enjoy the show but 50 minutes of whinging and very little constructive comment plus a recap of a game 35 years ago. Not great.

Well done all as usual. Different episodes focus on the positive and negative, not an issue for me. So we recall a fantastic home game when we defeated a mighty Club, happy memories.

Cheers Dohnut.
Sorry you didn't enjoy the show. But obviously we had no current games to discuss.

Fair enough. Sometimes it’s difficult I know. This was just one of those weeks. As the previous poster said, sometimes you need to focus on the negatives, but these days it all seems negative. Let’s hope for more positives next week.

I do hope so Dohnut. Like a nice 3-0 win on Saturday to discuss

What an overly-critical analysis.

Your bitterness has no end.

Good show as usual, enjoyed it.

A good listen, thought Paul Ward spoke well and it's eye opening just how confusing the crowd/no crowd situation is right now. Thanks Andy and the team.

Thanks for the comments. We've actually put out in excess of 30 shows since lockdown where we've had no football going on. Just hope this is the last time we have to get a show together with no current soccer to discuss.

Silly boy

If you take the time to look, you will discover three things. 1. I often offer what I believe to be reasonable questions that are not digs at anybody, I did for this episode too. 2. I listen to every episode, and 3 this is the first time my feedback has been generally negative.

So you can deduce from this that when I make complementary comments, as I frequently do, they are genuine and appreciative of the efforts people make to put on a fine show.

I fully acknowledge that this week must have been difficult to put together, and full marks to those involved. But it just didn’t ring my bell.

I dont always listen but I always appreciate the time and effort that Andy and his team put in - for no payment (I assume)

Did someone mention money?
Nope, nobody gets paid folks, all the people involved give their time for nothing and pay their own travel etc.
