Long long ago I went quite a few times to Selhurst Park, but only because of the closure of The Valley.  When the latter reopened it was all-seated which meant that as a casual viewer I was at the opposite end of the ground from my season ticketed b-i-l.  Not been back since.

OT Knowledge / Re: Rewiring a flourescent lamp, removing the balast to change to LED lamp

« Last post by robgul on Today at 03:44:35 pm »

Have bought this lamp https://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-g13-t8-led-tube-3300lm-22w-1514mm-5-/125ha and in the instructions shows that I can wire the tube directly to the mains and remove the starter and ballast.

Or should I ask Robgul as he is seems handy on the screwfix website.

Hi - Rob here!  - not a clue I'm afraid. I have a few LED light units that are superb, not "conversions".     AFAIK LAP is a Screwfix own brand, stuff made in China  (Do not confuse with Lapelec in the UK which is "son of Lucas" the automotive electrical outfit.)

I used to know a Crystal Palace supporter.

When I lived in South London (Gipsy Hill) I would occasionally pop along to Palace games. It's always a good atmosphere at Selhurst Park.

To be depressed when your team is second and still with a chance of going top is taking it way too seriously

Indeed. I'm certainly not depressed - I think Liverpool have overperformed this season, considering they started with a whole new midfield and have been hit by a lot of injuries (so have other clubs, to be fair) which have meant occasionally needing to field a number of academy players. Liverpool's issues are very much #firstwordproblems

Nunez might yet come good. He looks both knackered and very low on confidence to me, and as a result is trying too hard.

Salah hasn't yet got back to full form and fitness since coming back injured from Afcon. He was on fire before he went away. I reckon he'll be back to normal by the start of next season.

The whole team looks a bit jaded, to be honest.

(Shankly was wrong -  funny but wrong!)

I don't think he ever meant that line to be taken seriously.
