Toonpack

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.

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.

You probably should have asked what jar and on what shelf are you in tbh

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.

The contact was with the leg that was being withdrawn, oh aye it was a penalty "won" by today's standards, doesn't make it sit well with me.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).

Cheating in other words

He started going down and trailed his foot at Anita who had swung but pulled back, dive 100% Fucking hate this modern game, contact !

That's been the knock on the lad for a long time, tons of talent crap attitude. Archetypal "British" footballer.

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)

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)

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

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.

Welcome to my world

I did Shame this wasn't N-O, you'd have been banned for abuse

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.

How'd I miss all of this

and Switzerland

Thicko !! Easy that one, there's bazzillions of tiny invisible fairies that flap their wings when the sun is bright which creates friction and thus heat, if it's really bright, their wings are going so fast they sweat profusely which obviously accounts for humidity along with the heat.

I was around at the time, it was the height of the cold war (a real war with all but the shooting), if it had not happened, irrespective of any hair brained theories, the simple fact is that Russians would have exposed it in a MASSIVE propoganda coup. Similarly for the rather deranged Wolfy, if Russia had not put a man in space the Americans would have similarly debunked it with great gusto. Unless of course they were in it together (which in Wolfy world is probably a realistic scenario) but it is absolutely inconceivable in the real world as was. It happened, get over it.

Nah it's definitely flat, I flew from Newcastle to the US on saturday, plane went up, flew straight at a constant 39,000 feet came down 9 hours later to zero feet, if world was round would have been climbing until halfawy and then descending thereafter. Obviously the end of the earth where the water falls over the edge is a bit west of Texas from the UK though. (still 1-0 on the footy shirts btw).

Why's the sun move in the sky ?? and if the earth doesn't move why's winter colder ??? Just curious. P.S. when you look up at the real night sky with no ambient light (in the palces like Renton likes to walk for example) what are them moving stars that you can see (with the naked eye) all over the place, which my iPhone tells me are satellites.

Toon 1 everyone else 0 Dubya International, Houston, Tx. Last neet. Toon shirt spotted no others as yet, t'is only 7 am here like, expect score will change during the day when the Mexican kids come out to play, good start though

you write your posts in word and cut and paste them in doncha Btw, double space in word keeps the spacing on here.

Other than the now crocked Fletcher, has there been a "good" Scots player emerged in the last 25 years (maybe even 30 years)

Guns provide a means but you still really have to be a certain sort of person who can point the thing at another individual and pull the trigger. What in anyone's head, makes that right, except maybe in self defence, but that wouldn't make the stats. If you're that sort of person (irrespective of consequence - e.g. the death penalty) what makes you like that. How do the Swiss manage it ?? I've handled, and fired, a fair variation of guns in my time, always on a range, (as I said earlier I enjoy shooting when I get the chance to do it) but every time I pick a gun up, it is really fucking scary, they really are an intimidating thing and to be treat with the utmost respect. Maybe the familiarity with guns out there breeds contempt/complacency, but I can't take the mental leap from complacency to it being OK to point it at someone and fire. Even with handguns, unless you are really, really good (and that takes lots and lots of practice which equals discipline, weapon only ever points down range etc etc), you've got to be up pretty damn close, inside 20ft at the very least, to hit a person sized target even with a good, well maintained, handgun, and that's just to hit the target. I doubt the people who murder with handguns spend hours on the range so they must be way up close, that's an event madder mindset. It wouldn't be "a detached killing", can't get my head around it tbh.
