    The two-footed corner challenge isn't what I had pictured at all. To be fair, I'm not sure how they were going to do what I was thinking of.

    I thought it would be a two-footed, knee-high, lunging red-card tackle near the corner flag. I'd already had a fiver on Daws, what a waste of money.

    They should have got a 4G one. Better transfer rates. Stop other clubs poaching our players for a pittance.

    Things I learned today - Danny Rose must never be allowed to take corners.

    We've had it in the indoor pitch for 3-4 years. Watching Rose miss with the same kick time and time again might be the cure for insomnia I've been looking for.

    I find that a bit embarrassing really that pro footballers keep putting the ball behind.

    There's a girl in my daughter's u14 team who can take corners with either foot better than Rose or Digby.

    I know it's only a bit of messing about, but just the fact that the video camera is there would make me not want to show myself up.

    Shame it wasn't that fun to watch! We used to play that game when we were about 10 years old, so a professional footballer shouldn't have too many problems succeeding with such a challenge.

    I went on an Oakwell tour 3 seasons ago and the 3G indoor pitch was shown off to us, it was the most advanced of it's time and could take a stud, we were told in great detail.

    Correct Mr C. Unless they have been telling porkies ever since it was laid in the indoors pitch?

    There's something weird going on then because they plastered the fact that the indoor pitch was 3g and the most advanced stuff around when it was built years ago. I seem to recall that they claimed only us and barcelona had an indoor pitch as advanced and even Celtic came down from Scotland to tour our academy and see if the indoor pitch was something that they'd be willing to spend money on implementing up there because of its' advanced nature.

    Cywka gets it in first time with his left foot and second time with his right foot. Graphic at end says 5 attempts.

    Is Rachel Riley available?

    It may well have been changed since, my response to HT was specifically about the 3G indoor pitch. I think I will sit here all night waiting for him to admit his mistake. If that really is Hemsworth Tyke.... :)
