Who was the clown on the pitch with the microphone? About as funny as rabies. Is that what we have to put up with at half time now? People kicking a ball into an empty net from 15 yards? Whoop de do.

Only Pools could organise that and not supply a football.

nice to see you trying to at least be positive eh!

It was cringeworthy stuff thats for sure!

Never thought I'd say this but I am in full and complete concurrence with Tree. What a joke. Amateurs.

^^ What he said!

In the middle of Jeff Winter?

You don't have to watch it. Just go for a pint or something.

Fucks sake, I make what I thought would be a controversial post and people agree!!

Some very unfunny plank with a microphone asking two kids to kick a ball into an empty net from 15 yards.

Went down a storm

They need to get that fat kid back on the pitch for the deckchair challenge thingy.

errr "went down a S-T-O-R-M" even

errr "went down a S-T-O-R-M" even

However I thoroughly enjoyed your band to be honest. Fair play to you and the Milhouse lot.

I expect most things to be shite to be honest, that way you can never be disapointed.
Didnt realise I saw you play at the Scoona a few years back at New Year till my mate said "errr you saw them with us a few years back at New Year"

it should be perfectly simple to create half time entertainment.

get a selection of kids from the local schools, put the ball on the edge of the 'D' and give them a chance to hit the crossbar, if they do they win a prize.

Stick some dancing girls on

Anyway, who decided that we need half time entertainment anyway? half time is a chance for a piss, a pie and a pint.

The entertainment should be saved for the two 45 minute periods either side of half time.......

Always on at The Schooner New Years Eve. This year will be our 4th year running I think. Can I put "Not Shite"-Tree With Hamster on the posters? [/quote]


Would be better on your t shirt

Was a woeful piece of 'entertainment' yesterday. Winter just loves the sound of his own voice. The kids actually looked bored by the fact that they were kicking the ball into an empty net!

Yeah, it meant our 7 subs had to make do with just 1 ball to warm up.

It was an absolute shambles. If they ever do that again, I will be writing an angry letter.

It was a complete embarrassment and their microphones were far too loud (not that Winter needs one) It was a complete fookin irritation

thank f-u-ck I was half cut by then, I was already down the steps for a pint in any case. Why were the tellies switched off under the Mill House?

now THAT would be good half time entertainment!

Half time 'entertainment' at Pools has been the epitome of dross since the time of the Flintstones..... but this was lower than a dredgers suction pipe and brought up more shoite. As it 'developed', I expected the kids to end up taking a shot from Spion Kop.
I physically shrank as I tried to seek refuge by hiding inside my own body ... this whole sorry farce had to be thought up by someone who finds the lawnmower museum at Southport thrilling, what next half time bingo.....?

Quality

"I physically shrank as I tried to seek refuge by hiding inside my own body" - I felt exactly the same way too

No lie, but I really wondered what am I doing here, paying good money to watch a cross between the Chuckle Brothers on acid and the Keystone Cops. IT BLED EMBARASSMENT. I seriously wanted to be somewhere else urgently. I just DID NOT want to be there, it was the epitome of cackiness. If they keep their promise to appear at the Norwich match with a giant inflatable goal, I won't appear.

i don't think it was as bad as that fat barcode on the pitch at newcastle though,was it?

Yes, it was just dross, chaotic dross, cringemaking dross.

What's wrong with the wholesome half time entertainment we used to have like when Hangus shagged Yorkie the Lion in the Town End goalmouth (missionary position)?

That's why you don't see away mascots any more.

I got to admit that about 30 seconds into the 'routine' i felt embarrassed that I was there and almost wanting to shut my eyes and wake up when it was over. I went to the bog to escape from it despite not needing to go.

I did the same, but unfortunately you could still hear it.

Here's an idea, why not get local schools involved in a penalty competition that way you might not only get some entertainment but also potentially groom youngsters and possibly their parents watching into Pools fans.

Got a feeling i've seen that before somewhere!


PS - before anyone mentions it, no I am not in the habit of grooming youngsters despite living in Northumberland.


Northumberland

PPS - in all seriousness we should all write to the club now and put a stop to this rather than waiting for more of the same drivel. (mines going as an email in a minute or two).

PPPS - Didn't mind the other changes to the music and hope to hear the personalised music for goal scorers tomorrow night. Hears hoping for The Sweeney (either midfielder) , I Feel Good (Browney) and Stand & Deliver (Adam) in a 3 - 0 win!

PPPPS Reminder to self: finish writing the post before addressing it northumberland

[x] darlo have more potential than half time entertainment

Eeeeeee thats a good idea I wonder who thought of that.
