What is the obsession

with having to read the half-time (and full-time) scores out in the Vic' starting with the Premiership (Championship today) then League 1, then our League, I couldn't give a flying f..k about the other leagues at this stage of the season, I want to know first and foremost how the other teams in our league are doing, it's got to be a hierarchy thing....start with League 2 then the other leagues for Christ's sake, and don't rattle through them. read them out slowly..... banghead

I'm not knocking the announcer, he's been fine of late, it's been like that for years. I have though been to other grounds at our level who do what I'm suggesting, I just can't see that there would be anybody in our ground who's hankering to know how the Shrewsbury v Walsall game is going...

To be honest reading them all out is a pain I could do without. When I first started I did league two and that was it. People complained.
I did league 2 then the more local teams in other leagues. People complained.

So I do them all. People have accumulators on all kinds of teams and some people are just used to the equivalent of the classified check.

I guess I could read them slower but it does take an age to get through.
Plus if there's kids halftime penalties, I really need to rattle through the halftime results and you just get used to the speed.
I do tend to slow down on results I deem important.

Oh! I don't know. It's always interesting to see how many own goals Toto has scored or if he has been sent off yet!

We'd be a better team if we still had Toto.

Toto who went to a team much better than us? I mean let's not be daft here, he most certainly would of played some part had he not been sold!

Likes of him and caroll being sold was an embarrassment and sums up the desperate position we in. Gambled on the squad depth in Jan and massively looks like backfiring

Spot on.

Just look at that back 4 today, only 1 in position and he was released last summer.

They gambled orite.

Spelk - why not say "all games in League....are 0-0 except the following....."? It's boring to hear a list of games where there has been no goals, which is not unusual in the first half of a match
