aye they do that sort of thing in American football as well don't they? so many calls per game or something. @Slowing up flow of the game, there's so much arsing about at freekicks and corners that argument is null and void, players standing over the ball, chasing down a ref, nothing is taken quickly now. Goal line technology for major decisions in the box is needed imo, adding more inept officials behind the net or wherever else will never help. American Football has a 'coaches challenge' system. I think they allowed to make up to three challenges but if they fail, they lose a time-out. If they have no time-outs left they can't challenge. The equivalent in football would have to be if your challenge failed you'd lose a substitution. No subs left, no challenge. It works well over there. I also think the coaches can't challenge in the final 2 minutes of the game (might be either half, not sure), but the umpire can choose to look at a video replay in that time if he feels the need. The NFL are much more open to making changes to the rules for the good of the game than FIFA. only been in use for a couple of years now and it isn't an exact science either as not all calls are challengeable....quite often you see the ref giving the challenge flag back too a sheepish coach b/c the call could not be questioned.

it's bikers here in BC (canada really), mafia plays second fiddle to the H.A. and the independant soldiers

I love that method of dismissing facts as if they cloud the issue. XTC were a far better band and never got close to the widespread recognition The Police got. I call bullshit on that one..........at least from a percussion stand point, Stewart Copeland on drums ( when the world is runnning down), second only to Neil Peart , now Sting on bass, well I'm willing to concede to XTC on that one, Andy Summmers was pretty good at what he did I would argue that no one (except the Clash and maybe Bruce Cockburne) was doing what the Police where doing with Reggae and new wave/ punk music, XTC (excellent band by the way) and Strontium 90 have more in common than XTC and the later incarnation of Sting Andy and Stewart but then there's never accounting for taste in music

ok, so let me get this straight. I'm clearly on the wind up with J69 You say that the feigned stance is boring while conceding that I'm only messing Now you're trying to cover your pointless post with a supposition fwiw it's not the drugs that make me oh-so-cool, i'm a blazer FYP

fwiw everything in moderation is just a rationalization, take ownership of that joint or line or capsule IMO however, we have had certain certain drugs branded as BAD by arms of various governments without really knowing. McGill university has just started to do experimentations with Psyllocibin, in a blind study 50 people were given the drug and 50 more were given a placebo. Nearly all the people given the psyllocibin reported having a religious like experience whose effects lasted far after the drug would have left their bodies. All I'm saying is if someone used LSD once or twice, or mushrooms once or twice, of smoked a joint once or twice....and completely lost the plot, there is a good chance there was a preexisting problem with the wiring...IMO The Nancy Reagan era delineation of what drugs are bad and what are acceptable needs to be edited......again, IMHO I will always fondly remember those mushroom tea weekends and how relaxing and revealing they were. IMO LSD isn't really good for you, but a light shroom tea taken with friends is splendid. agreed...and sorry for the highjack (thanks catmag), hope things work out for you PL and Jimbo

erm.......Cobain died from a shotgun blast to the head/face area......surely no one on here is recommending that

........Fish=WUM on this topic FACT

fair enough how do you define harm though? there is evidence that "mind altering" drugs (psyllocibin, dmt) used in opiate addiction therapy have the beneficial effect of separating the ego from the subconcious in a way that traditional (western) drug therapies can't. Power to you and your choices, not all drugs are like cocaine and heroine though, and to use your own analogy whould not be painted with the same "illicit" brush

KD......all drugs are bad? or just illicit ones? what about coffee? sugar? booze? not trying to be a jerk, just would like some insight into your opinion.

Sorry to hear of your troubles gents.....remember women are like buses, there'll be another one along in 15 min (just make sure you're getting on the right one) in the immortal words of the B-Boys I only rock Puma, never rock Fila I do not sniff da coke, i only smoke da sensimilla

That's interesting. Have you a link? on dotCOM

Que?

Should have kept Canada. ah well hind sight is always 20/20.....i heard there is some sort of athletics competition this winter, might be worth checking out

who knew......Chuck and Precilla/Cammilla/whateva, were being paraded around Cupids Newfoundland this morning to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the colonization of the Great White North. So a hearty 'HUZZAH!!!' from Terrance and Phillip and the rest of us.....

agreed i think that a policy similar to Canberra should be implemented, you are allow 3 or 4 plants for your own use. do it right and you always have a stash with more on the way. fwiw none of the dealers i know are sleazy and the 'green economy' in BC is the only thing stopping this province from being more like the maritimes when the fisheries collapsed.

just most of the time......and Cid i agree that does seem cheap for an 'O'

sorry can't chat i'm off to book my ticket to colorado

had to go to work with soiled trousers though Had a change of keks in his case, judging by the way he clings to the fucker. this clip made the CBC national news last night

most important thing to remember when taking stairs....... going up......feet before crutches going down.....crutches before feet not that bad really did my ankle in when I was a kid, was on them for a while had to walk/tripod to school everyday

.....like falling down and hurting yourself b/c you're drunk?...at least for 303257 of em anyway.

For more on this, see the full story: http://www.fsf.org.uk/news/police-say-sorry-to-fans.php The Football Supporters Federation stands up for fans across the country, and it’s good to see that our work is beginning to pay off. We campaigned successfully against the misuse of Section 27 legislation last season, we’ve been working with Sunderland fans in an ongoing investigation into police brutality by Northumbria Police this season, as well as helping fans in individual cases week-in, week-out. The FSF is there for when the shit hits the fans, but we’re far more than that – find out more about getting involved and join for free (and get yourself a couple of freebies) at www.fsf.org.uk/join.php FYP

i'm sure we'll find out....errr, oot

Well start a poll who's a bigger cunt, and the one with the most posts, is banned for a month, deal? Only if you stick to it this time I agree with SLP, the more succesful teams tend to have more "OMG WTF!!!!! BEST PLAYA IN DA WORLD" fans who only support them because they win things. Lee Stewart is a good example of this type of mong. I think that's just how the youth of today talk. I am friends with my cousins daughter on facebook and she talks like a total chav despite being privately educated and generally a nice girl in real life.. agree with this.....complaining about the texting/internet language that seems to have seeped into the mainstream just shows our/your age tbh......doesn't really say anything about lack of football knowledge, although I will admit there does seem to be a correlation between the two I don't think it's a given. I for instance know that my football knowledge as it pertains to the history of NUFC is woefully lacking when compared to most if not all, but that has more to do with the fact that until the mid nineties the premiership/english football was not really available for wide consumption unless you had satellite (which I didn't), so if that makes me a plastic fan so be it, but it has nothing to do with having intelligent discussion about NUFC or anything else on here.
