Received text message from LCFC today saying "download mobile ticket before leaving"

 

Is this legit?

 

Link URL starts off dd1.io   looks a bit dodgy to me?

Yes, it is legit. I had it too.

sounds like we knew we were getting rid of Marti and might be hoping to get a new manager in right quick and who we sign might depend on style/ opinion of new manager.

Any new manager will likely be in the mould of the same style previous managers. 
The club seem to want us to go down this boring, possession based ‘chuckle brothers’ (to me - to you) football which we are no longer capable of. And as fans do not want to see.

Unfortunately, I can’t see the next manager being any different whilst we still have the owner and DoF in place who wants to continue with this.

Just awful.

Is the concourse boycott actually happening today?

Doesnt look like it. Not too many empty seats.

We have no money, more likely need to sell to balance books, allegedly face a points deduction, fans are not attending matches, the likelihood of signing expensive forwards are slim at best…..the window so far highlights our situation to a tee…..

No.

The accounts do not say that at all.

Daka has looked sharper since coming back.

Perhaps he had some decent coaching whilst away at AFCON…..

I imagine quite a few people wont be going tomorrow night due to the weather, and people with kids may not go as it is night game, so will make the boycott like bigger than it actually is.

We’re gonna lose this, aren’t we

Should have buried that

Decent odds for away win bookies clearly think we’re better than we are 

We’ve had better results than our standard of play deserves.

Miserable day for what will undoubtedly be a miserable game.

Frigiliana is a 15 minute bus journey up into the mountains and it’s a beautiful little town. I’d definitely recommend spending a day here if you haven’t already been and plan to go back 

Yea, we went there twice - lovely town.

We ventured from there into the national park for some walking too.

Will definitely go back at some point.

Interesting point.

 

Wes Morgan and Robert Huth weren't exactly the fastest centre backs.  Thinking about it, Christian Fuchs and Danny Simpson weren't Speedy Gonzales either.     

 

But it didn't matter.    I suppose it's all depends on tactics, midfield cover, discipline, intelligence, and other factors.

In 2015, Wes Morgan was officially the 10th fastest player in the Premier League........

I was surprised at the time when I heard about it.

It was about 5m away from me. Quite upsetting to see.

A lady in the row behind was helping the paramedics. In the 2nd half, one of the senior stewards (presume) came and spoke to her, and she smiled. Hoping that is a positive sign.

Just wondering what the good people of FoxesTalk can share in terms of knowledge around house extensions. We have talked about it for years and are now pressing ahead. There was a debate about moving but we like where we are and it’s a more cost effective way of getting the bigger house we are after.

 

We are talking about a pretty simple 2 storey, side extension as the layout of the house lends itself very well to this.

 

The first thing we have discussed is that the space is about 8ft, just over. We don’t want to go to the boundary as we want the ability to have access to the rear and possibly bring the bins up and down. Downstairs should be fine as it is a bigger kitchen area at the back, utility space, bathroom and shallow garage storage space at the front which won’t be a problem. Upstairs requires 

more consideration about the use of space. The current small room is on that side at the front. If the upstairs has to be set back slightly, it’s a case of whether to bring that room wider with the set back consideration and annoying box thing from the stairs, or just have the new space as a further room but it would be quite a long and thin one. I imagine this is quite a normal consideration so wondering if anyone has had a similar experience?

 

We have the architect coming next week. Most around here (Sheffield) seem to be big organisations so we have found a small, local father and son team who specialise in private home extensions which seems more suitable.

Builders wise, I have had three come round and spoken to them. Two are Checkatrade listed. The one who isn’t, was far more expensive and ruled out straight away. Of the other two, my preference is one based on how detailed the quote was, very itemised which I preferred. Honestly I wasn’t sure what else to go on. Both prices were reasonable, both had good write ups and I personally got a good feeling for both. 

I think I have a good grasp on the process. The next step being the architect coming and us putting the ideas into official plans (not the unofficial ones I drew up for the builders). 
 

I am just wondering if anyone has experience of a similar build where it comes to maximising space, particularly upstairs. 

Our previous house that we move into had a side extension in place using the full width of the plot of land.

It had a passageway to the side, front to back. We used it as storage - fitted loads in there with shelving along the length and still plenty of space to get through with lawnmowers, bikes etc.

The garage was converted to a snug / living room, and to the rear of that became a kitchen extension and utility room.

The full width meant we had a massive master bedroom upstairs in the extension, with the front box room converted to an en-suite.

I can understand why you may not want to go to the full boundary, but from living with it, would definitely recommend it. 

Have just got back from 7 days in Nerja, Spain.

Lovely weather - 22 degrees and sunny every day.

Lovely old town with loads of shops and restaurants, and plenty of day trips to do around the area.

Great for walking.

would definitely recommend the area, and especially nice at this time of tear when the weather is so dull at home.

If this happens on my iPhone, (happens occasionally) I turn off auto updates and turn it back on again, and it refreshes itself.

double click the side button, choose the season ticket and click on the i logo in the circle (bottom right). Toggle automatic updates off then on.

if it is an android, I can’t help, but imagine there is a similar process.

Doesn’t need to be fully finalised by 7pm - as long as the deal sheet is completed and submitted

Strange one because if someone has offered him 100k a week he would already be on that plane wearing a Al Shabab kit

Not necessarily - not all players will want to play over there - not always great for the families.

Interesting stats…..

Maybe not quite so doom and gloom?

Yes, I k ow stats don’t paint a full picture.

Was only £5m wasn’t it?

Reported fee was in the region of £4-5m. I am not sure where people are getting £15m from.
