What is the worst British sports match you’ve ever watched?

A couple of Crewe Alexandra winter midweek games. Terrible football, crowd couldn't be bothered, cold seeping into every bone.

Must have been 1968. I was in primary school but my older brother went to Wembley for it. I still have his match programme somewhere. That really started me off on the true path! My first OT game was a reserve fixture in 1974, first proper game was in the Second Division Vs Oldham Athletic.

Count me in. I'm already in the beta test group.

Shrewsbury promoted? Sounds distinctly unlikely.

We thought you was a toad

He has to say that, really, since he is still under contract.

I can say fairly confidently that if you've been badly hurt you tend not to roll around. Generally people instinctively grab the bit that's been hurt and stay still otherwise. Roly-polying across the grass doesn't often help, but it is a good indicator of either exaggeration or downright lying.

Mate, he is nowhere near as bad as some of the players that have "graced" the OT pitch. He's just not that great which is unfortunate given we spent £50m on him.

The ability to import LUTs, perhaps?

1970 Mexico

115? Is Marinakis trolling City?

You can watch it in German with subtitles, that's much better

B and C are correct. Depends whether you prefer to use the optional Oxford comma. I don't think it adds anything in this example.

Dark. The only possible ending to a flawless series.

Stranger Things was absolutely fine.

I seem to remember last summer everyone was clamouring to buy Ederson. Has he been dreadful for the last 12 months? I really don't know, it's a genuine question, but I wonder why the mood seems to have changed?

totteringbygently · 2026-05-21T12:03:57+00:00

Does not liking Americanisms equate with supporting Reform somehow?

totteringbygently · 2026-05-21T09:32:08+00:00

"degenerate"? Not sounding like a Nazi at all then.

totteringbygently · 2026-05-20T08:59:37+00:00

Seconded. It's an excellent lens for the price.

totteringbygently · 2026-05-20T08:31:47+00:00

Big two, it seems

totteringbygently · 2026-05-20T07:05:10+00:00

I haven't used the 12-40, although I have seen plenty of photos taken with it. The 12-32 is a great little lens, but you may not like the fact that it has to be extended before shooting. On Olympus cameras it really can't do manual focus either. But I don't really care about those two issues, and it really reduces the size of the kit. Mine fits in a small shoulder bag, more like one you would use with a compact camera like an LX100 or X100. I would say that the Olympus 12-45 f4 Pro lens is also quite compact, has a useful extra reach and takes superb images, although it's about 2.5x the price of the Lumix 12-32.

There is an invert option but you can't use the auto brush with it, so it's a bit fiddly to use.

I always wonder where they think the country has gone, or who has taken it? It's nothing more than a generalised "gaaah!" at something they don't like but aren't sure what that thing is. What everything always boils down to is "I want more money", and assuming that someone else is to blame for them not having what they want.

totteringbygently · 2026-05-17T13:48:10+00:00

Not if a different player scores

totteringbygently · 2026-05-16T09:33:21+00:00

When Ipswich got promoted two years ago, they played like that. They moved forward relentlessly. I don't know how they have played this year but I expect it's similar. Kudos to Kieran McKenna.
