I wouldn't start an argument with John Crofts, he'd batter the be-jaysus out of everyone on this forum.

Being at the games, I would rarely post 'in flight', and the internet service is poor anyway, but the difference after a win, and in particular a last-gasp win is striking. I suspect my own match thread comments would not have necessarily matched my post-thread ones. The result was everything.
