  1. It comes down how long the ball is in that position - i don't think the assistant had a chance to say with 100% certainty the ball was over in a split second. Technology would help of course, but when does it stop as it could help with other incidents - offside, penalty calls, wall 10 yards from freekick, keeper on line at penalties etc.
  2. Did you go through your supplier for the grant? Also, if you are looking after a vulnerable relative that will help your cause. My boiler was on it's last legs and I got a grant, nothing was said about income as it was focused on energy saving. That was a few years ago though.
  3. Is that Brian's real twitter account? ummh, no, it's thoroughly entertaining for some of us!
  4. Sixty days until the start of the season, about fifteen days to the start of pre-season and six days to the creditors meeting and the only thing that has changed is more money has left the club or has been deferred. Nice.
  5. 8Mb download, 2Mb upload, but as with you best aspect is it's free!
  6. If Martinez stays at Wigan, he will be backed by the chairman to get 3/4 decent players in so they are likely to improve. Even if Modric and Bale leave, Spurs have a decent squad so much will depend on the calibre of the manager to get decent replacements. Stoke spent a lot last season but didn't do much with it. At the moment I'd put Reading, Norwich, Stoke, WBA and Wham fighting to avoid the drop with us.
  7. Well Fratton has two valuations on it and I'm not sure whether the players have been valued using the Storrie method, if so all his value is secured.
  8. Will be surprised if he goes for that much considering he is 5th choice striker and didn't he sign an improved contract at the beginning of last season? Certainly would be good for him if he wants regular first team football rather than sitting in the reserves.
  9. FC - Chinny is not an unsecured creditor so will be excluded from one vote (there are two votes; one unsecured, two all creditors I believe). He of course has AA on his side but it's no guarantee he would succeed in the vote with that alone.
  10. yep, half way measures dont work.
  11. I don't recall that. I thought it was Health and Safety issue with the liability if it caused an accident, hence coming out and covering empty seats.
  12. But there is still some PP that haven't been allocated (but plenty are after) that could be used for this, no?
  13. Very much this!
  14. Yep, agree, he had limited ability when it came to the technical stuff but he could understand how to put a team together. If only he had a large enough chequebook he could have won a championship! This is what I think Levy didn't like and Spurs have some decent players now and yet he messed up. Why he decided to get Bale to play more in the centre than the wing goodness knows but was it coincidental with the loss of form at the tail end of last season?
  15. If there is a deadline imposed by the FL, it hasn't been made public. TB stated there is enough funds available until the FL meeting which has passed, just like his other deadlines. The skates limping on means more football debt from deferred wages and also higher admin costs. Not forgetting less time to get their players of choice in for the new season which they are worried about considering their latest statement of wanting to bring some in after off loading only a few high earners.
  16. Didn't he state in his Autobiography that his wage went down at the end as Lowe knew he wanted to stay at Saints? Either that or the increase wasn't much.
  17. It's certainly different and I'm sure the animals will do their own thing what with the noise and flashing lights, unless they're planning to feed them tranqualisers! I feel one part is missing - on one side there should be a digger ready to tear up part of the countryside for the new social housing development.
  18. “Who shot him"? I asked. The man scratched the back of his neck while in deep thought and said "Somebody with a gun.”
  19. Just for you... Original text "In July, 2011, Abdennour signed a four year contract with the Ligue 1 side Toulouse. In February 2012, Toulouse extended this, tying the Tunisian to a deal running until 2016. July 1st 2012 Abdennour move to English Premiership side Southampton on a 4 year deal worth 4.9 Million Euros"
  20. His wiki has him down as a left back, converted from a winger. But it also says Saints have bought him! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aymen_Abdennour
  21. Well the longer this stand-off continues the better, more wages to pay and more of the first choice freebies Appy would like to choose from will have gone elsewhere!
  22. Not over in the East they're not! The hosepipe ban is still in place.
  23. So Dave likes the other Dave as he got it and nothing more. Wow 600k for being a shop manager and sucking up to the owner. I'm sure that sat well with his stance on improving things for the fans at the club, no moral dilemma there either.
  24. I don't think they are expecting to attract new fans to league one football tbh, they are just desperate to keep hold of as many existing ST holders as possible.
  25. This situation is absolutely hilarious. My list They cannot buy players as there is an embargo and they have no money. They cannot sell or give away current players as they are too expensive and the club may go pop anyway. They cannot sell season tickets to get money in. They cannot sell the club because of the high earners. The high earners don't want to leave as they are guaranteed the money. Even if the club is saved, preseason will be a shambles with too little time to prepare the players. Also I think Truckasaurus should add God Bless the FCR at the end of his posts!
