Good luck Nate, I have enjoyed reading your work from this side of the pond and will miss it! Best wishes and good luck for whatever comes next.

I’m finding this decision to be just utterly depressing. Where’s the ambition to create something special? It’s just negative and passive. I will struggle to even work up the interest to watch games at the minute. Have tickets for Berlin and can barely be bothered to attend now.

At least the booing means the tannoy announcer isn’t so dominant on the TV audio now 😅

I’m watching the TV coverage of this game, either the tannoy announcer is significantly louder than usual, or there is nobody else in the stadium making any other noise at all. I am guessing it’s the latter…

It seems so long ago now and feels ridiculous to say it - but if the Colts go 20-7 up in the third with all the momentum, I really believe they’d have won it.

If you don’t mind me using what I think is a predominantly English turn of phrase, the Colts have completely shit themselves today.

They need to refocus quickly as it looks like they are mentally all over the place.

Poor call, poor throw.

AR’s 3/8 certainly not painting an accurate picture so far.

Strong start!

For sure! Imperfect but thrilling. Happy to be patient and see where he gets to.

Heart attack stuff. Hard to believe that the Colts managed to win that game. Not entirely sure it was deserved but we’ll take it!

How does he not catch that? 😳

Absolutely embarrassing defence

What is happening with the D line today…? they look so..lethargic

Right, excellent win for Darlington yesterday, enjoyed watching Liverpool beat Man City, now for the main event… Colts @ Patriots, let’s go!

Bluesky doesn't (yet) allow us to post videos of over a minute so until it catches up, we'll post the odd Youtube link here and see how that looks. Mike and I will keep practicing with what and how we can post! Here's what Will Hatfield said to me after Tuesday's game. youtu.be/0qTTozN3BpY?...

He ran out of ideas in Q4 but prior to that he passed the ball very well and was much better than the weak numbers. Penalties, drops and a porous OL killed him today.

His performance is WAY better than those numbers.

I’m not counting carefully but he must have had close to 100 passing yards chalked off to fouls by now too. His performance is better than his numbers so far for sure.

It’s the selected early game on UK TV so I’ll get the usual Colts roller coaster experience, just with fewer commercials 😅 Enjoy the game!

Have had the pleasure of doing some great moments: Bamber Bridge play off final, Walsall away, the great escape finale last season. Quaker TV was probably the highlight of it all. Deep down we *usually* all enjoy it and it feels good to be in our little team supporting the club.

Believe it or not, today marks 10 years of me commentating on
@darlofansradio.bsky.social Started on November 22nd 2014 in a cold 1-1 draw against Clitheroe. The type of glamour fixture that has been a common feature. Looking forward to my testimonial 🤣

Appreciate this may not be a universally popular opinion but the less you treat BlueSky as a crusade or cause, and the more you position it as simply a superior user experience with a better governance approach, the more sustainable the growth will be.

The Colts hugely better on Bluesky I noticed. Richardson excellent. Completely different experience. At one stage even Gene Steratore disagreed with an official’s call which he never did in 10 years on X. 🤣 On to the next!

I think I may have been slightly premature with this insight. 🫠

O line is wobbling here..

Guess one of the incompletions was the throw away, one could have been caught by Granson and one removed two of Pitman’s fingers and a layer of helmet paint. Could have been 11 of 12.

Haha you’re welcome 😅 Let me know when you need the itinerary designing 😎
