But I do look forward to the January hydration breaks with tea and biscuits.

"Going back to the studio after the adverts for one line of dribble before going back to the adverts"

Just why do they come back for five seconds, cut to a gambling ad, to then return to the game?

Your post all runs together in table view index as:

The most pointless things in sport ...
Norwich City 3rd/4th play off matches Losers ribbons Rugby League


I genuinely thought that was all one thing, until I got to the Rugby League bit.

btw. Rugby League is a fantastic, dynamic sport, more reliably entertaining than football, and way more entertaining than Rugby Onion.

Horse racing.

As for "Losers Ribbons" - There's no such thing. Nobody at the ribbon factory is stitching "you didn't win, mate" onto satin. They print 1st, 2nd, 3rd and "participant," full stop. What gets called a "loser's ribbon" is just leftover stock that never found a position to attach itself to, sitting in a bin, wondering where it all went wrong.

Technically those 300 or so stewards serve a significant purpose - they cover the club from an insurance and legal claim aspect, as does the announcer telling people not to go on the pitch.

Oddly, the first in your list come in all colours bar yellow and green, whilst the last come only in yellow and green.

I assume that in the context of this thread the people talking of dribble actually mean drivel.

A bit harsh on Norwich, as they probably serve a purpose in reuniting the family every couple of weeks. There won’t be many venue large enough to hold all the sister wives.

Their trophy cabinet on the other hand…

- And a personal one. Any club longer than a 5 wood or 5 iron in golf.

The fact that there was a 3/4th place match in the FA Cup for a handful of years is utterly barmy. And as for celebration paraphernalia that never gets used because the team lost, I do still have visions of some poor soul having to clamber up on to the roof of the Cobbold to remove those fireworks if it had all gone wrong against QPR, and then we stuffed up the play offs

I've often wondered why Sam Matterface gets such a rough ride?
I agree he isn't the best but there have been far worse commentators.
His employers Talksport and ITV obviously believe in him.
