adios

It's his sly way of asking how much it would be for a night of your time, Robert Redford-stylee. ^ | | Report button's just up there, btw.

Just hit the repor... oh, wait. Never mind. Never knew we had one of those, cheers. Let's see what happens if I press this button...

I'm formally requesting a ban for this lad's repeated homophobic comments, even after it was pointed out to him. I'm serious.

I find Mong (Offensive expression alluding to someone with Down Syndrome, being Mongoloid) very offensive as a very good friend of mine has a sister he looks after with down syndrome. Your quite sick Gemmill and very out of order, there may well be a few people on here who have friends relatives who have down syndrome, i don't suppose you've ever thought of that have you? How offensive would one need to be for you to permanently fuck off this site? Nobby can answer this one too if he fancies...

It's just known as stereo outside of Scotland.

It's practically upside down!

House of commons?

Shame, read your comment, thought of a good insult, noticed the comma, couldn't pull the trigger. I'll bide my time.

how can anyone in Spain plan when any manager is only 5 games away from the chop? Hell, someone could be bought by a WINNING team on day 1 of the window and find his manager is gone long before the end of it over here - FYP?

I found the pants he was wearing today very offensive, and long hair is for girls. Pretty neutral on him apart from that. I'd be surprised if Bombadil's hatred doesn't have a little something to do with the Federer/Nadal rivalry? Bombadil - I love how much you despise Spurs, every post about them drips with hatred, total respect to you for that.

Just thinking about what you've said there, and this isn't specifically aimed at Ramage, but wouldn't you think that a player in his position would, recognising the fantastic opportunity he's been given, do everything he can to get better at his job. If I was a relatively poor Premiership defender (or any other position for that matter, but centre half is a good example as it's possible to be a very good functional centre half without being a hugely naturally gifted footballer, probably more so than any other position on the pitch), I would be working my ring off to try and get better given that the alternative is a huge drop in wages and Championship football, or worse. If a player like Ramage or Bramble really put the effort in and approached Roeder and confessed to their knowledge of their failings, and expressed a desire to do extra training sessions, review the tapes of their play or whatever, they could make a big difference to the rest of their careers. The money and the place in the first team sometimes just comes too easily. Honestly, I think if things were as straight forward as that the World would be a much different place. I'm constantly amazed at our ability to fuck up much simpler things than that. There's a plethora of reasons why people can't make the 'simple' changes in their lives/careers to make things better for themselves. How easy would it have been for Murray to centre himself today, when he had Nadal on the ropes, and finish the job? And that's just one moment in the career of a sportsman, who must value psychology as probably the single most important factor of success in his chosen sport (apart, maybe, from having legs). And why is Gemmill the one to raise the point about showing the required effort and commitment to succeed?

That, however, is pure GOLD!

Ah right, get you know. I was thinking it would be hard to find 3 players at the club who were more different. I think Ramage is way out of his depth, I'd even put Taylor and Bramble together before Ramage and Taylor, at the moment, that's how lowly I rate him, but I also think that the pressure he's under and the lack of confidence is making him worse than he actually is. And I can't agree the crowd have some sort of divine right to give players abuse because they pay their wages, but as a footballer (or anyone in the public eye) taking abuse from the mooing masses is the price on the ticket. I'd still probably swap my career in an instant for that of even an "out of his depth" Premiership defender. It's all well and good complaining about how crap Bramble is, but we have to work with what we've got, and under the current circumstances, Bramble would be one of the first names on my team sheet. Hope that all makes some sense.

I'm sat reading this on an LCDtv, and I still didn't know what I could say that would be of any use other than - emm... plug it in?

What does that make Babayaro and Bramble by the way? Ramage is a mediocre Division 1 defender, so out of his depth against mediocre Premiership opposition, that it's horrific to watch. Bramble is a colossus, blessed with physical might, stamina, celerity, dexterity, and the mind of a goldfish. Babayaro's just sort of ...average, isn't he?

Fucking hell, that's harsh. Fish is actually the guy who Bluf goes to see after he's realised his life's not worth shite without N-O and has another episode ; Fish proceeds to tell Bluf that he's a selfish cunt, if he can't be fucked, neither can he, and there's the window, he can let himself out. Or something...

Er no. Glad we've cleared that up, then...

Fantastic match up until the final set. Shame Murray lost his head, but what a player he's going to be. Looks like you have a player you can finally be proud of; shame he's Scottish.

Did this friendship develop after she emailed you about moving $30m from former President Mufandi's account?

If Mourinho had made a substitution that had had the impact of the forced substitution of Ramage today, we'd never hear the end of what a tactical genius he was. And Lady Luck got rid of Souness for us; Lady Luck for manager!

Please fuck off; Lady Luck makes better selection decisions than you.

I just posted in that. Damn you for drawing attention to it!

What did he say? I have found out the hard way it doesn't pay to be derogatory or smug. It's very possible that maybe 70% of the posters on N/O especially the foreign ones don't even know this place exists, and they'll think N/O is gone forever. It's a shame but N/O will have a smaller turn oot than a Boro League Cup tie, for a long time when it's back up and running. He said this place is too snobby [might be true to an extent], perpetual [clearly not understanding what this means], and it wouldn't last [contradicting the point before]. Oh how we laughed. This place is too perpetual, man, what's not to understand? Are you thick or something? Invicta can stay, everyone else should clear off.
