  1. Ok, I’ll bite, I have time to kill. Firstly, how do you know (a real fact from a trusted source please) that homeless haven’t died? Secondly, if they haven’t, probably, being homeless, they are outside all the time and not in close proximity with other people. When I see them, they are generally alone. To be outside and receive a high enough viral load is very unlikely as the science has been saying all along.
  2. We don’t score more than one do we 😂 Cheeelllleeeeee!!!!
  3. He did. My dad sold him carpets and went there to measure up. He was the manager of the carpet store and wouldn’t normally do that, but my brother made him go!
  4. That’s fantastic. Thanks for sharing MLG.
  5. It is! I had one as my first car. A white 1.1 Ghia. Blew the engine up on it! Luckily had my next car lined up already.
  6. Full time ref surely??!! 😂
  7. Very sad news. Far too young. RIP and thank you for the laughs you gave many.
  8. The rainbow one I believe. 🤪
  9. Shearer and Shilton. But wouldn’t cry if Niemi turned up instead.
  10. I didn’t say that was the reason to bring him back as I agree, appointing staff for just that reason is just wrong. But if he looks like a good coach, then that might be a factor for him to return here.
  11. He could still come back as a coach for us in a few years. He’ll probably have more allegiance to us than any other club. I would be happy to see him back.
  12. I think JWP could have made a difference last night. As a few have said, he’d do no worse in his position in open play than we saw last night. But, he can take corners that get past the first defender and free kicks that cause problems. Just my Saints rose tinted glasses opinion.
  13. You didn’t use the toilets there then?! 😂
  14. What about the moon landings? 👩‍🚀
  15. Very sad news. Remember thinking we were big to be signing a £1m player at the time! My thoughts to family, friends and colleagues that were close to him.
  16. FFS. My reverse physiology typing didn’t work.
  17. There’s no way Leicester won’t score tonight........
  18. Sounds painful! 😂
  19. National Dyslexic Association. What do I win?! 😃
  20. Semi final line up needs to be; Jankowitz Jankowitz Jankowitz Jankowitz Jankowitz Jankowitz Jankowitz Jankowitz Jankowitz Jankowitz Jankowitz Subs; Jankowitz Jankowitz Jankowitz Jankowitz Jankowitz Jankowitz Jankowitz Jankowitz Manager; Jankowitz
  21. A shame so many missed a great comeback. Giving up so early. Snowflake doesn’t even come close to it. Fans are supposed to support and stay with the team. And today explains exactly why.
  22. Are all the Burnley fans saying game over now?
  23. May I ask what level this was at? I think it would be interesting two have two professional teams give it a go. That would be interesting. It would make it very hard in such a congested area for someone to take the shot. Of the attacking team, they will need to keep some players back for fear of the counter attack. Reasons like this I would like to see a few friendlies with professional teams give it a go.
  24. I’ve said for years that they should try and see how it goes with no offside. It would either be amazing, like in hockey, or rubbish, so could easily be brought back. But if it works, it’s the end of endless debates. My thoughts on offside and VAR; Off-side should always favour the attacker. If it’s so marginal, then it goes with the attacker. If they do persist in analysing offsides, then there should be a time limit, say 20 seconds. If they can’t decide, then it’s onside. The VAR officials name shouldn’t be broadcast or known to the on-field ref, so as to try and eradicate the ‘mates look after each other scenario’. Of course, independent adjudicators should ensure proper checks are carried out for each check. Also, does it need to be an experienced ref as such to determine what rule has/hasn’t been broken? But for me, the use of VAR has to change. It should be used to decide if a ball did or didn’t go over the line. An off the ball incident that the ref didn’t see. Penalty calls, fouls, offsides etc should go back to the old days off the on field officials to keep the pace of the game yes, as before, mistakes will be made, but it’s part of the game. If officials were made to review and explain decisions, and constant bad officiating gets punished, hopefully this will improve things . And to keep better officials, they should have more protection from players. As the article says, no swearing etc at officials. Free kicks taken straight away, to yourself if you can. Some very good ideas in that article
