  1. I believe he classes himself as a marxist.
  2. What a Shi'ite thing to do, but looking on the Sunni side, no one got hurt
  3. Nearest I could find, as many die "in the line of duty" in car accidents as get shot though. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2079428/Big-rise-number-U-S-police-officers-killed-work.html
  4. The over the line "incident" was so quick and close that it's prefectly undertsandable that the linesman missed it, without technology it will always happen, they'll err on the side of caution unless they are 100% sure. As for the offside, that also is perfectly understandable, in real time it looked offside, it was only in slow motion with the line thing drawn in that he looked onside, played on by Taylors heel (don't they usually draw that line down the centre of the body?), which was moving fast in the opposite direction as they crossed. The Lino would have seen Mopheed's body behind Taylor and thus flagged, was a marginal decision and nowhere near the "howler" category. The only "howler" decision all game was stopping HBA on the break, having not given the "goal" (which is simply akin IMO to not giving a blatant penalty) they played on, he should NEVER have blown up.
  5. It's not a pure team sport, but they race in teams and it is very tactical within the race with the team riding as a unit to support the primary rider, setting pace etc it's a million miles away from everyone just jumping on their bikes and seeing who can go the fastest. The TDF is a series of races over weeks, you can win the thing without actually winning any of the individual races/stages, it's futile comparing sporting achievements across different sports, each should be admired on it's own merits. The only thinng I would add is the achievements of Murray and Wiggins put the efforts of the so called athlete footballers, who get tired after two games a week, to shame. The Murray djocovic first set lasted as all but 3 minutes as long as a football match and they played four more, at an astonishing level, straight after
  6. Think it was because it got shunted to the Monday and they wouldn't change their schedules and it was first Monday night football of the year as well. still couldn't believe it wasn't on anywhere mind !!!! Was in Houston during the Olympics and your brother is just about right, they did show both Mo Farrahs races and had big build up for him, probably because he trained out here and his best pal/training partner is the American guy who came second in the 10,000 They also showed Murrays gold medal match in full to be fair
  7. This Had to "watch" it via. BBC text thingy, am in Florida on hols 500+ cable channels and it wasn't on any of them !!!!
  8. We're a good team not kicking just now, encouragingly thought Cabaye who's been extremely poor started looking more up to speed last 20 minutes, at which point we looked a lot better all round. Tough game comming up they'd better play more like they finished this one than the way they started it.
  9. We were by far the better footballing side but our delivery/crossing was outrageously bad, after Cisse's shot went off the keepers heel and wide I thought we were in for one of those days, much happier with second half.
  10. You probably should have asked what jar and on what shelf are you in tbh
  11. The ones that piss me off no end are "he won the foul" or "he was clever there", no he didn't/wasn't, he cheated. That argument is long lost though, sadly.
  12. The contact was with the leg that was being withdrawn, oh aye it was a penalty "won" by today's standards, doesn't make it sit well with me. Contact doesn't necessarily mean a foul, used to be contact sufficient to bring someone down, those days are long gone and the game is absolutely the worse for it. About the only player you see regularly practice the near dead art of riding a tackle these days is Messi, (and I fucking love him for it) yet they all used to do it, falling over was usually because you couldn't physically stay upright. Can't understand it tbh, if someone goes to ground and slightly catches you, try and stay on your fucking feet, the guy's on the deck and out of the game. How many times do you see someone "win a freekick" through minimal contact when there's acres of space in front of them (had they stayed upright), the fuckers even do it in/around the box when if they stayed upright they may actually have a shot on. Drives me nuts. Was a point second half yesterday when HBA "stayed on his feet", bang on the edge of the box, with more contact that Torres got from Anita. He should have gone down, terrible thing to say but true (that said Dowd wouldn't have given it).
  13. He started going down and trailed his foot at Anita who had swung but pulled back, dive 100% Fucking hate this modern game, contact !
  14. That's been the knock on the lad for a long time, tons of talent crap attitude. Archetypal "British" footballer.
  15. De Jong who blew us out and went to Germany, to get CL football, managed to score an own goal last night that will go a long way to screwing that up (not to mention they got hammered at home)
  16. No, EBT's are not illegal especially if taxes relating to them are paid, Rangers as well as using the EBT's as a hidden double contract also paid no tax or vat for about 12 months (and avoided tax via the way they used EBT's for at least 10 years)
  17. Avon Skin So Soft - yes seriously, as recommended to me when I was being eaten alive by midges in the highlands in May. It also cleans steel surfaces superbly. http://www.kitchencraftsnmore.net/skinsosoft.html
  18. As did HBA, you want rid of him an all? Love it how some players can do no wrong and others get "wrong" hugely magnified. Tiote was utter shit nearly all game yesterday but "he's not fit, needs a few games, always starts slow" Simpson was steady yet is monumentally and irredeemably shit. Laughable tbh.
  19. I did Shame this wasn't N-O, you'd have been banned for abuse
  20. It's an internet message board, grow the fuck up. If people (who don't get paid for their efforts btw) are getting shit/hassle about anything, they can do what the fuck they like, quite rightly IMO.
