Reply | Shots on target against.
at 15:41 10 Feb 2024
I think the stats for Preston were only 2 shots on target by them, due to Edmondsons own goal.
Which would mean the last 3 games we’ve conceded 6 shots on target - but conceded 7 goals ! |

Reply | FC Twente - you know the team we got Arnie and Franz from
at 18:57 31 Jan 2024
Didn’t his old man play against us in a preseason friendly against the same team, FC Twente, many moons ago. I vaguely recall supporters bursting out into laughter when his name was read out on the PA, maybe coming on as a sub? |

I assumed it was premeditated those two Coming off when they did, shame tho as they just seemed like they always a had a moment in them.
Burns coming on I can understand, though I wondered if he might’ve brought him on for Ball as they weren’t really threatening after their goal. But to be fair to McKenna if Burns smashes in that one that flashed across the goal he would’ve been vindicated, as would’ve been a replay at worse and he has mastered the art of substitutions this season. |

I turned it off when he started with “Maidstone caused Ipswich no end of problems” in an attacking sense
Eh was I at a different game? Yes they defended immensely and were-clinical we know that, but caused us no end of problems ? Perhaps they went on to talk about the defence and goalie causing us problems, but I switched off after that ! |

Am sure I read somewhere (probably on here so obviously true) that he was overlooked when Rob Chandler got the gig and was "promised" first refusal when Rob gave it up. No idea if its true, kind of fits that the job went to someone who is sadly not really right for the job. Nice guy, perfect for local radio with his knowledge of the local music scene, but incredibly dull and monotonous, ill suited to this role
Saying that, his announcement around the Exeter subsitution in the 2nd half was very amusing "...I have to be honest I have no idea who left the field for Exeter as I wasn't watching"....!
Also, I wish they'd let us know the half time scores from other games, either announce or using the big screen, considering 3g/4g is so ropey in the ground. |

I could be wrong, but I believe the Martlesham P&R stops about 7 - cant see anything about it doing anything special for football - def check before you travel as I don't use it very much. |

Thread | Parking - when full up?
at 17:37 16 Apr 2023
Question to the hive mind of TWTD. Am driving and parking Tuesday evening (can’t normally make evenings, use public transport for sat games but that’s not an option) what sort of time do the car parks (crown street, Wolsey above and below, West end road etc) start to get full? Previous Tuesday game I came I left it quite late and most were full, found one eventually tho further away! Would there be plenty of spaces if arriving around 7?
Cheers in advance

If it’s so blatant why do refs allow it? Always occurs during spells of intense pressure, then suddenly the “break” in play, to halt the momentum. Like a time out, but this ain’t American football, we don’t have time outs!
At the v least officials should stop players going to touchline, only exception should be during the hot weather to take on fluids
Rant over. |

Don’t get me started on the goalie’s “cramp” then everyone retires to the touch line for tea & crumpets.

True he is a touch player, but did he win any headers all afternoon? He just seemed to get sucked into a running battles with his admittedly very close markers! I see Watson tweeted that he didn’t think he was very committed when he had a chance to race the goalie for the ball. All small things but they add up. To nothing currently... |

I did a 3 day fire fighting course for working at sea and they did indeed use the video as part of the training. Was horrific to watch and the worse thing that we did for the whole 3 days. The firefighters leading the course didn’t help with the running commentary: one bloke was walking, stumbling across the pitch his head steaming from the heat “he’s a dead man walking - he ends up being one of the dead”.
To think that if the exit doors weren’t padlocked so many would’ve got out and survived, but they were trapped. |

Underrated talent, heard him at a recording of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue at Ipswich Regent about 10-15 years ago. Roasted a couple of late comers, all the "panel" had been introduced and in their seats ready to start, then a couple come in late set in front row:
JH: You...where'd you come from?
Audience: Martlesham
JH: Is that far away?
Audience: Nah just down the road
JH: Well how come I came from Streatham and managed to f****** get here on time! |

Reply | Wind damage - any of you in insurance?
at 10:02 19 Jan 2018
I am very surprised that any insurance company tries the "act of God" line anymore, BlueStreak may know differently though. One way to check is to search the Policy Wording, if its not a specific named exclusion in the policy they can not turn down a claim because of it. A quick complaint and referral to the financial ombudsman would get that overturned if its not a named exclusion.
It is very likely that those companies putting policies on price comparison sites only use their bog standard, cheapest, bottom level product (Companies have many levels of policy: Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum etc) and it's possible those cheapy products excluded hail (and possibly other storm related perils). |
