@offtheballbbc Totally irrelevant who it is, as long as they acknowledge the need for a root-and-branch review similar to Germany’s back-to-basics approach a few years ago. Positively discriminate and favour Scottish-based players who the fans can identify with. It’s a long road back.
@DelSouness Very astute manager. Get a pre-tournament deal knowing that he’ll get the bullet and walk away with a healthy settlement. He knew we didn’t deserve to be there. I’ve never had such total indifference to the national team before this curmudgeon put his baffies on in the dugout.
@nedboulting You HAVE to get @emilychappell onto NSF Live in France. She was brilliant on the recent pod. If not can she just read me the telephone directory (with @lizziedeignan)?
@HarleyTWilliams@JillADouglas@LeTour@ITVSport@itvcycling The beauty of France and eloquence of Ned, David and their supporting cast can make the cycling almost secondary, but when the racing’s good too it’s compulsive viewing.
@itvcycling @nedboulting @millarmind What petting zoo will Daniel Friebe be donated to? The general public would love to ruffle those tousled locks and feed him treats. 🦁
@itvcycling @nedboulting @millarmind Very magnanimous of Ned to point towards TNT, but that's the last thing I'll do. A VPN and FranceTV or SBS Australia for me. Thanks for making my July every year: I'll miss you all so much.
@mrendell 3) Crucifixion atop Ventoux? 😉 I take it your question was rhetorical? It was a rather heavy-handed, heat of the moment, response. Has there been a general decline in idiocy or protests in recent Tours?
@nedboulting @millarmind@Petekennaugh@itvcycling Will there be post-Tour counselling services available? Between the live coverage, YouTube updates, NSF pods and Ned’s hilarious ‘Accidental’ audiobook I fear Monday morning. 🚵 C’mon Oscar! 🏴
@itvcycling ...or a more abstract choice. The ITT is 33km. A vinyl album is 33rpm. How about the atmospheric "Long Player" by @Hanpeel from the 'Rogue Agent' soundtrack?
@JohnWilliams004@itvcycling @nedboulting @ITVSport Are TNT viewing figures available? Judging by social media posts, subscribers are not happy with adverts being imposed and no perpetual live feed. ITV’s colour, history and informed commentary is boulevards ahead of Kirby and Co. Plus, no Sean Kelly…bliss!
@kirawontmiss Why should customers subsidise poor paying employers? This entitlement seems to be a North American affliction. The last tip I received was a Christmas one as a paperboy over 45 years ago. Pay the wage, get good staff? Be more Mr Pink.
