Happy Face

Give Stoker a go Fish. Same fella that did Oldboy, which we all love, obviously.

Always happy to give Santon the benefit of the doubt personally. Same age as Ranger and Ferguson. Tavernier, Dummet, Inman and Newton too. All born in 1991. He looks streets ahead of all those.

Just looking to improve the first team here

Inspired by someone complaining that the notion of Santon/Cisse being replaced by better options was cloud cuckoo. Now we don't have Simpson or Williamson to complain about needing replaced. Assuming Coloccini is going the journey already.

You're nowt like Al capone man. Stephen Graham plays him in Boardwalk Empire. Could have equally said Billy Bremner (The Damned United).

Set the TIVO for Storyville a few weeks back and really been enjoying them. This weeks was "I will be murdered" about a solicitor in Guatemala who was assassinated by hitmen, but he'd left a video saying "if I am killed it was the president what done it" the video caused demonstrations to erupt all over the country and demands for impeachment. A remarkable look at corruption and crime with an incredible real life twist. Only 11 hours left on iplayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01qyvbp

You're skinnier than Stephen Graham, but you are him.

Al Capone

I wish I could go alone more. Those Romanian kitchen sink movies about abortion aren't really a group attraction.

Reading his little stream of tweets I think the people tweeting him are bigger cocks than he is. Attention seeking arseholes.

iPhone users are dumping Apple's clunky preloaded software and replacing it with rivals' stealthy apps. Download this dozen The iPhone 5: a few select changes make it state-of-the-art. Photograph: Beck Diefenbach/Reuters Stuart Dredge Sun 3 March 2013 The chances are, if you've bought an iPhone, that you think pretty highly of Apple – or at least highly enough to opt for its iOS software over rivals Android, Windows Phone and BlackBerry. With that in mind, filing lots of Apple-made apps that come preloaded on an iPhone into a junk folder and replacing them with those made by other companies may sound counterintuitive. But that's what an increasing number of iPhone owners are doing. Why? In some cases, the alternatives are better. For example, 10 million people downloaded the Google Maps app in the first two days after its release in December 2012, which followed earlier publicity about problems with Apple's own Maps application. De-Appling an iPhone isn't just a response to big problems, however. Apple tends to release a major update of its iOS software once a year, and then minor updates throughout the year which rarely tinker with its preloaded apps. That annual update cycle means plenty of room for clever developers to come up with apps whose features go beyond what's available in Apple's software. Apps such as Mailbox and Haze have brought slick swipe-based controls to email and weather respectively; Camera+ has features that keen photographers love; Sunrise Calendar is a cleverer take on diary management; and Opera Mini will save you lots of money on roaming data charges, for example. In other cases, people are choosing alternatives to Apple apps because they're using (or may use in the future) devices from other companies, and want the stuff they buy to be available on those too. An ebook bought from Apple's iBooks store will only work on iOS devices, but one bought from Amazon's Kindle store will be readable on a range of devices through that company's apps. Buying MP3s from 7digital reduces the pain of porting your music collection to non-Apple devices. Apple has made noises in the past about rejecting apps from its App Store if they mirror features in its own software. Yet the fact that the 12 apps listed below are available in the store shows its policies are sensibly flexible. Apple wants you to use and enjoy your iPhone more than it wants to lock you into every single one of its own apps. With that in mind, here's a snapshot of some popular alternatives worth a space on your homescreens. The deft dozen: apps to make your iPhone better Sparrow (£1.99) Sparrow isn't just better than Apple's own Mail app, it's better than Google's Gmail app – so much so that Google bought it in 2012. Features like attaching photos are useful, while its intuitive design makes inbox management a cinch. Mailbox (Free) Fresh out in 2013, Mailbox is designed to work with Gmail accounts. Its innovation is single swipes to archive or delete emails, or kick them out of your inbox temporarily while you respond to important mails. There's a long waiting list to use it, but it's worth queuing. Chrome (Free) Google's Chrome browser has been a big hit on desktop computers. That's the key advantage of its iOS version, since if you sign in to your Google account, all your desktop bookmarks, passwords and open tabs are available on your iPhone or iPad. Opera Mini (Free) If you're travelling abroad and plan to use the mobile internet, Opera Mini is an essential download. It compresses webpages before they reach your phone, saving on your data usage – and thus on your mobile bill when you get back home. Google Maps (Free) Apple's own Maps app isn't as bad as has been made out, and it's improving, but Google Maps is still the best and most reliable mapping app available for iPhone. Local search, voice-guided navigation and public transport directions are all built in. 7digital Music Sync (Free) Buying music from iTunes on an iPhone is quick and simple, but if you prefer to keep your music supplier independent, 7digital is well worth a look. Buy MP3s from its well-stocked website or mobile website, then store and play them on your phone using this app. Record – Voice Recorder (£0.69) Do many people record voice memos on their iPhones? Those who do have dozens of alternatives to Apple's own Voice Memos app. Record works very well, recording memos (or meetings, interviews etc) then emailing them from your phone if required. Camera+ (£0.69) There are social alternatives to Apple's built-in camera app on iPhone such as Instagram and Facebook Camera, but for pure photography features Camera+ is great. Powerful snapping features, crops and effects plus support to post on Facebook, Twitter and Flickr. Evernote (Free) Fond as you may be of Apple's Post-it coloured Notes app, it may be time to consider Evernote as a cleverer alternative. It stores your notes (plus photos and voice memos) on Evernote's servers, ready to be accessed and shared from any device you like. Haze (£0.69) Weather app Haze is one of the emerging class of apps that do away with as many buttons and on-screen options as possible. Here, the emphasis is on simple swiping to check the forecast, including temperature, sunshine hours and windchill. Where Apple's weather app is functional, this is elegant. Sunrise Calendar (Free) A number of apps companies are trying to reimagine iPhone's Calendar, with Sunrise the best so far. It works with Google Calendar, Facebook and LinkedIn to remind you of birthdays and provide details of people you're meeting, with weather forecasts and reminders thrown in for good measure. Kindle (Free) Apple's iBooks isn't the only ebooks store available on iOS. Amazon's Kindle reader app can download and display ebooks bought from the company's Kindle Store, although due to Apple's rules, the actual buying has to happen on Amazon's website or mobile site.

Off the menu. As were hot dogs. Had to have a calzone.

Hmhm's purple prose just gives him away.

After Sammy and Shane, now Nile. Xisco went too right? With the January improvements we seem to be taking this squad thing seriously. Keep the positive house cleaning going. Keep the dead wood moving.

Is CT mocking his own status as official board weather vane now?

Surprised CT, TP and BW haven't suggested Ashley yet like. Given he's saved the club.

Me and Gemmill, living the dream of a Friday night. Second time in a month I've wasted the petrol to go there and buy nowt. Women!

I don't follow what you mean. Offside is not black and white. Legal or illegal is entirely down to the referee. And would remain so if replays were used. Replays will not stop dodgy offside decisions. It was as close as it could be to black and white before they came up with "Intefering" and "phase of play". What you're suggesting is like saying "throw ins sometimes get given the wrong way and lead to goals, let's build walls down the line and play it like 5 a side to remove the question."

But you've chabged the nature of the game completely, so the defender has to make a decision. He casnnot play to the whistle as he should. If he tries to catch the attacker and brings him down it's a penalty, no matter about the offside or not. If he wins a last ditch tackle he's likely to concede a corner. If he lets it go then he'll probably concede a goal. the only way he can come out of it with a good outcome, is if he does nothing and it was offside. Defenders will be letting attackers make runs off them all day long because it's the only winning scenario for him. What little skill remains in winning an offside, defending as a unit, which used to be an art, will be lost completely.

It would happen as often as it does now...which you're saying is too often. Defenders would have to guess at whether or not it's worth the risk of tackling/intercepting/fouling an attacker they've caught up with or just letting them score....every time an offside is close. Mike Williamson would sick up his breakfast with confusion every time a ball was played through.

Daft argument that only goal decisions are important enough to warrant offside decisions. winning a corner is big, winning a penalty is huge.

Just the words "child abuse" make it difficult though. Whatever we know now about how overblown it was. His was a sad story in the end, not the glorious one we like to reward with a statue. Good read here though.... http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/a-hero-who-died-of-shame-1124187.html

Missed that. I've not watched question time for years. I might vote for them next time around then.

Issues outside of football make that a little complicated.

That sounds worse than it is now.
