Give me one last chance

Found the mature students a bit of a mixed bag but some of them were sound.

Is Malcolm Bradbury still there? I quite like Norwich fwiw

Why are you called that? Because my parents are twats

Wahey!

Doesn't have to be the Open University route. Loads of places (inc Northumbria) offer part-time courses with lectures outside of normal work time. I.e. a masters would take 3 years instead of 1 with the final year being your dissertation. I think it would be difficult to do something without having that face-to-face contact and an assigned tutor you could meet. It's a fucking chew on like going to lectures when you've finished with work. Advantage of a full-time masters conversing course is that's it's 1 year instead of the 3 a degree would take.

Just looked it up and it was 1925.

Generic small time football blather thread FOREVER
Alex replied to Sonatine's topic in Newcastle Forum
I wonder how they authenticate stuff like that. On a similar note I was once told by a good source that a bloke on the desk used to do all the requests for players' autographs at SJP. -
Could the conversion masters route be an alternative to starting from scratch at degree level?

We thought we were. Think they were established on the continent and in places like Uruguay and Argentina. Them and the likes of Italy and Austria had probably already surpassed us. Plus, you're only talking about 5 years or so until the first World Cup (1930).

You never need to worry about that

Interesting. Wilson probably glosses over it due to his being a mackem It's funny how something like that can be counter-productive, i.e. defenses having to become more organised as a result. Also odd that a change based on a specific domestic issue back then would have led to a rule change that was adopted almost without question world wide.

Retard tbh

That rings a bell actually, although I think it was a more general lack of goals across the league(s) as a whole over a few seasons in the inter-war period. Still think the goals per game ratios were higher than now like. Incidentally, I have absolutely no recollection of a player named John Waton for us. (Sub in the Anglo-Italian Cup game in the pic above). Had to check it wasn't a mistake but Steve Watson's in the starting XI.

It was a very early part of the rules but it was to prevent 'goal mooching', as we called it at school. The first significant change in the law was (I think) that you only had to have two men (instead of the previous three) between the attacking player and the goal. That was in the inter-war preiod and that was to encourage more goals (Been reading Jonathan Wilson's Inverting the Pyramid). But it was introduced in the first set(s) of rules I think. I.e. before NUFC (which I take you meant by 'our success') even existed or before proper competitions even existed to allow anyone to have what you could call success.

Fair comment
-
I know what argument you're trying to make. Repeating it ad infinitum doesn't validate it
-
Aye, it was never corrupt in the past. Or overhyped for certain bouts or anything like that. It's never been about money until now either.
-
So what you're saying is that there is absolutely no corruption in any form of boxing or, indeed, any other sport or, for that matter, in any walk of life?

Was only the late 60s when they were first allowed for 'tactical' reasons I think. Could replace injured players before that.

Yep. I think Haye will comfortably outpoint him barring another injury. Probably what would've happened 1st time round too. The post-fight hype was fucking silly.
