Blimey Dagsy, impressive

What about the physios? Didn't they come on the pitch?

How many times did the floodlight go out?

Was it before half time or after?

Did the Eastside sing more than the Riverside?

Come on, you know you have the stats! Post it!

[Eastside Urchin]

thats a small squad!!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

[The Monk]

Does that include injury time <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Dagger03]

>>Does that include injury time

 

Each match last 90 minutes - when a sub comes on, I take the time he comes on - eg if he comes on at 67 minutes, then he is on the field for 23 mins playing time. I cannot think of another way to do it, unless I add on the stoppage time as well, which would make most matches longer than 90 mins.

 

Yes, I know this can be a bit misleading, if a player comes on at 90 mins and there are six mins stoppage time, as happened on Tuesday - the simple way to get around this is to allocate the sub the full six mins, and the other player then gets 84 mins.

 

Unlike ice hockey, the clock does not stop each time that play stops, so obviously the timing is not going to be one hundred percent accurate.

[Eastside Urchin]

with football statistics my uncle told me to never include stoppage time as if you come on for 67 minutes then 23 minutes later the time is up,therefore anything after 90 minutes is as it says "injury time" and not recordable

[coupwotcoup]

Thank your lucky stars that Zody never posted that!!!

[Eastside Urchin]

i am [****!!****]

Yeh I watched that Coupe with Keith Fordyce, What about "I'll give it foive!" ?

Six Five Special, who sang that?

[Sgt Bilko]

The Frantic Five

 

The Six-Five Special's comin' down the line,

The Six-Five Special's right on time...

 

Over the tracks

Over the tracks...

 

However, "I'll give it foive" comes from Thank Your Lucky Stars', which was hosted by Brian Mathew, but had regualr guest hosts.

 

And the girl that said "I'll give it foive", Janice Nicholls

[Uncle Urchin]

lonnie donnigan made the record of it... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Dangler]

"where's me washboard"

[Dagger03]

>>>The Frantic Five

 

Not too sure what this has to do with mins on pitch, but it was in fact Don Lang and his Frantic Five.

 

Lonnie Donegan did not make 6-5 special as far as I can recall.

[maxinio]

Terrific lads!

Now who sang "Freight train, freight train, goin so fast!" ?

[coupwotcoup]

Nancy Whiskey did a version, but there must be loads more...Boxcar Willie, Lonnie Donnegan?

[maxinio]

Very knowlegeble Coupe, well done mate!

You must be a 50s groover!

I thought you were 30s m8?

[coupwotcoup]

As the great Francis Urquart said: "I couldn't possibly comment"!

[maxinio]

Cheers Hatchback, whoops!

But where are you 2mara mate?

[Dagger03]

>>"Freight train, freight train, goin so fast!"

 

Numberous versions - but the ones that are outstanding are by Bob Dylan and by Jerry Garcia.

[Uncle Urchin]

yes he did and it got to no 2 in the charts...

 

if I recall it caused a serious row at the time as cherry raynor..(co presenter of the proggie with the 'legs') slagged doonigan off on the programme and got canned for it...

 

pleated skirts...I love those pleated skirts... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
