I take in a bit of non-league football now and again and I quite enjoy it. It's what I was brought up on anyway really as I watched 100s of games as a kid.

Aye, I don't have Sky Sports either.

That just about nails it like. Someone was asking me if I was going to start going back to SJP when I could take the bairns. I realised I had no intention of indoctrinating them and would probably even prefer it if they didn't want to go. I'm not even arsed about them playing. Even at junior level there's everything from the utter cuntery of a large proportion of the knackers watching their bairns to the complete incompetence of those attempting to coach the sides. I'd rather they boxed, played cricket or whatever. It's been taken away from people like Stevie and given to people like CT. Edit: @@trophyshy

You need to get yourself to Afghanistan to learn about conceptual art.

Thought BB was excellent like (despite having expected it not to live up to the hype). Slightly dipped in the final season but it was still gripping. The episode of Family Guy that takes the piss out of people who won't shut up about Breaking Bad and The Wire was well observed however.

Talking about yourself in the 3rd person again?
-
Absolutely spot on and funny to boot. Especially: "Perhaps we're encouraged to see ourselves as embattled pockets of morality because that's how our country sees itself in the world. Rather than, say, a nuclear armed, money-laundering pirate ship, where all the ship's officers have been sent away from their families at a young age and deliberately driven insane through the medium of sodomy." Also, thought this was canny: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p02j53t4/funny-valentines-matt-berry-wild-love

Divvent fret, Hun

You ever catch any of that show that was meant to relaunch Big Ron's media career? Playing golf with his good mate Carlton Palmer and all that type of thing.
-
I assumed he had aye. When I looked it up it was only in Sacchi's 2nd spell as manager there, rather than his first highly successful spell. Desailly was brilliant in the midfield 'destroyer' role for them like.
-
Clearly didn't feel the same way about Desailly mind
-
Was reading up about him when he died last year. Never realised what a good player he was. Aragones, not Tony Cunningham
-
Was amused to see it crop up in this thread like.
-
Had a listen on Mixcloud yesterday. Really liked it. Thought it had a bit of a 'Basic Channel' vibe about it, especially the first half.
-
Was out for a drink with Tooj a few months back. Four young lasses sat at a table nearby and everyone single one of them on their phone. No doubt updating their Facebook status telling everyone what a great night they're having. Not exactly how I remember my youth. They're fucking welcome to it tbh.
-
Wouldn't that constitute a calculated risk on the part of NUFC?
-
Some don't though. Plus his attitude problems / reputation. Another calculated risk. Here you go: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/calculated+risk

Unless you want to be an art historian, curator or something like that
-
Aye. It would annoying as fuck anyway but I can't imagine why anyone would want to view that footage afterwards. As an aside, I remember when was on holiday once and went on a full day tour somewhere. This German bloke spent at least 3/4s of the time filming the day. To me, he basically missed out on the whole experience. Fucking weird behaviour iyam. This was before everyone had mobiles that could take footage so he was looking at the screen on his camcorder the whole time.
-
I already knew we were shit at the one day game, just not in that much detail. And while I agree T20 has moved the game on we were shit well before that was the case. Last knockout tie we won at a World Cup was in 1992 I think
-
That's terrible. Can't imagine what his family must be going through.

Canny result, if not that big a shock, for Ireland. Also, read this and weep, England fans: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/31428625
