The T&A is dead to me now

I’ve had enough of waiting and waiting for pages to load, having to wait again if I want to scroll up or down and facing an even longer wait if I want to leave a comment. Newspaper websites are crap. It”s not just the T&A, admittedly – I also need to slag off pretty much every other newspaper (including the Guardian). If they didn’t rely so much on Flash then their websites would load more quickly and be much more user-friendly. Frankly, I’d rather read a well-written blog. Like Boy From Brazil.

EDIT: Good news. Following a brief period when I coudn’t access the BfB site, it is now showing again (albeit with stray bits of code littering the site).  http://www.boyfrombrazil.co.uk/

No News is Good News… I Hope!

From the Telegraph & Argus: McCall urges patience. I’m hoping this means that the reason we haven’t had any news recently (bar the Arnison signing) is that, as a club, we are playing our cards close to our chest. This story is worth reading for the comments alone. The inaptly named ‘Mr Sensible’ seems to be either (a) playing devil’s advocate (b) an internet troll or (c) a Leeds fan. This is word-for-word: “Face facts A failing club with bad ideas and brain(limited)washed fans.” It’s a bit rich for Mr Sensible to accuse City fans of having limited brains when he writes like that. Punctuate boy, punctuate!

Less happily, it seems Boulding is going up a league rather than join BCFC. Story here.

There’s more City news on the Boy From Brazil site here: BfB, including: the news that McCall is still interested in ex-Sheffield Wednesday ‘keeper Rob Burch; the interesting fact that Arnison was wanted by Port Vale and Darlington – but still chose to join City; and this story about Chester’s transfer embargo that might rule them out of the running for Luke Beckett. Keep an eye out later this week for a post on last season’s stats and what they mean.
