Posted the links earlier. That defence won't wash, it's been tried by all sorts of people who've been banged up after extradition for everything from Speeding Tickets upwards. The EAW system is different from the International version Relax, the longer it all takes, the longer it will take to clear his name, the longer the stain will hang over the club, and the more fans will do the lonely walk to the bus station to go watch Havant With him in Limbo Chinny won't be able to make any claims either we're living in a Lambo Wonderland, they're gonna be living in a Limbo Horrorland

Germany played like this against England at the WC last summer. Made our lot look like Donkeys. It isn't JUSt about the short ball, unlike England, all our players are currently comfortable on the ball and possession is retained all over the park with short passes. Yet against Germany, everytime England actually GOT possession they just hoofed it away in the general direction of Rooney. If England TRIED to retain possession they did not have the patience to play 10 or 15 passes until an opening occured. You simply cannot play the quality of football with the players we now have by having half of your tactic as hoofball and half as short and neat. ALSO the fact is that we do NOT do this every time KD has the ball. In the warm ups he was practising 40 yard passes to the halway line. In the 1st half against Brighton he played the ball into the feet/chest of Lambert. It is the confidence to play like that MOST of the time BUT still mix it up which causes so much trouble for the opposition. It needs skill but it also needs intelligence from the players. Long may it continue. Barca seem to make it work quite well

OK just about to head off. Leaving you in charge of Nuns AND texts. Son is out until about 8pm as well. You git your timing just right last week so don't let anyone shoot their load too early on the match thread. You were damn lucky you were working last night. RB's was a right mess. Still feeling ill now! Some nameless Polish person thought it would be a good laugh to get the regulars doing shots of Spirytus - 190% proof, 95% Alcohol Content. Can't see a damn thing todayam on Carrot Juice tonighti

Saw them last Saturday, I think it is impressive - it's as if finally there is something to be proud of again and the City doesn't havve to skulk around with it's head lowered. Not sure how the Together We Stand one is that clever though. I was totally unsure if I was meant to stand up in The Chapel all through game. All these new uber rules. Stand Up Sit Down Can't Sing in Chapel Can't wear Reeboks or is it Adidas or was it Stone Island Can't leave early to get in the queue for a beer No time to queue for a beer Can't leave early Can't wear a shirt, must wear a shirt Anyways the OS has a competition coming up this week to win some of the banners according to Twitter

Only thing cooking down East are the Books. Meanwhile, didn't we find one of those Windows Movie Maker Cartoon experts a few years ago? I remember seeing one about Norwich & Ipswich. Surely we have a lot of the material from here to use as background, the storyline is pretty nailed on, sountracks have been identified just need an expert to give it a go and make the movie

Solentsport have tweeted that Eastleigh are having a Board Meeting to discuss offers of Investment Perhaps the few have decided to jump ship early and do an MKD on our friends up the road

I will continue to nurse an epic post Karaoke night hangover this morning, which may somewhat wreck my plans for a spell on the beach or in the gym as I gear up for Dubai World Cup. Concurrent to that I will continue to try and remember what actually happened last night & re-read my early morning post on the takeover thread to try and see if that gives any clues in the cold light of day. As the match kicks off I'll be giving a "how to insert a camera into an obnoxious Golf Fan's anal passage whilst being polite" training on behalf of the European Tour, so that the locals don't spoil Ian Poulters day out or get an unauthorised blurred Iphone snap of his latest Fashion range, whilst trying to blag a couple of free tickets to their big beach party on 6th. (Not of course to stalk, but because those do's are always all you can eat and drink and everything is free) The training will of course be interspersed by numerous beeps and YESSSSSSSS!'s as my lad sends me text updates of the score. With luck and rush hour traffic permitting I should get home in time for the last 30 minutes of keep ball and reflect on how wonderful it is these days that we don't have to spend hours before matches googling for pictures of Nuns. now, where did I put the farking Nurofen & my sunglasses?

Ah, well I'm back. so yep as promised I got the entire bar to Toast poopey. And completely randomly 1) I did not sing The Buggles at karaoke tonight - got called up for The Monkees Day Dream Believer 2) I managed to stay in key all the way through 3) Last night Michael Bolton was in Concert here in Dubai 4) he made an appearance (you are KIDDING ME - not) and sang How am I supposed to live without poopey (almost) 5) He came third behind yours truly I don't think anything in amongst all of that is any less remarkable any longer after the past couple of days. Next mission - To create "poopey thread the movie" Starring meh tomorrow when I can see the keyboard properly DP 1 Michael Bolton 0 - that's even fracking funnier than poopey thread 3 skates 0

3 more weeks of Googling & Detective work. 3 more weeks of not knowing down the road. 3 more weeks nearer to the next pay day and tax bills Oh bless I think the lyrics of this song hit the spot we're currently at You can do it few.

Well, let's face it after years of exposure to it, they're never going to spot anything fishy in their webchats Keep up the Good Work Peeps. Decided to head out for a change to Rock Bottom and Toast the few by making sure a copious number of Blue Drinks go down well (unlike them) Bullfrogs all round tonight

Aw c'mon Mero, at least allow us to have a couple of days to sit on here and bask in the Glorious Communal Glow of self satified smugness as we all have our We told you so moment

From UK news was on skype to a mate when it was stated.

Lithuanians are freezing assets

Why is it a bombshell? Not just about funding, we nailed that - remember the cached link from 2 days ago CSI is linked to Convers Group which in their own words Had Control of Snoras Bank. Roman is a Director. So a more accurate reading of his statement is that he is trying to protect HIS ass and keep himself employed. Let's face it, the lease payments on posh motors are so high these days - Hey Roman - no worries mate - we can point you towards a payday loan company And also, Roman, don't worry me old mucka, I recall you have lots of very highly placed Russian Oliagarch friends, property Assets, contacts in the Railways, friends in Australia. I'm sure they are all russian to give you public pledges of support right now

Holy Karp. You mean Clarkson now posts on here as well? Just back from the beach, which reminded me of something I once was told and let's face it we all worked out back in June when this lot first appeared. If it looks like a fish, smells like a fish, tastes like a fish, then it is probably a safe bet that it is actually fishy. Meanwhile back to the deluded this doesn't affect us view of the few. I left Blighty a long time ago, but I seem to recall that there are laws about handling stolen goods, and quite possibly laws about handling stolen money. In fact if I recall, a defence of I know nuffink Gov never seemed to work very well

Lol think that was all nailed down and proven on about page 400 and something

OK just to make it even funnier. There are a great deal of concerns about the EAW system and process. Most eloquently displayed by Julian Assange in his statement after he lost his appeal against Extradition. In fact the concerns are such that there was debate in the Commons scheduled for Yesterday (although no vote was allowed). Anyway, seems Vlad managed to (unlucky son) get himself into this tangle just as the method that can be used to whisk him away comes under sustained Legislative attack! It's always about the timing of the humour with poopey God Bless 'em Hell even the Snail is on the campaign trail as recently as October! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-2053514/These-powers-MUST-Europe.html And Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Arrest_Warrant#Controversy So the people who caused the continuation of the sorry mess at poopey have been nailed by? Yep a sorry mess. Ah bless

A few of the links http://www.espncricinfo.com/sri-lanka-v-australia-2011/content/story/531324.html http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/522086.html Virtual Eye - Aussie competitor to Hawkeye http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/video_audio/522091.html Related - Hot Spot only 90-95% accurate

Hmmmm There have been a lot of articles of late on Cricinfo on the subject. It's actually very detailed and the Indian Cricket Board's refusal to use DRS was explained in that there ARE issues in the accuracy of Hawkeye, (although they MAY not apply in UK or Soccer) Camears operate on a frames per minute basis (is the simple explanation), so the higher the frame rate the more reference points the software has. With English football pretty much totally HD now this is not really an issue, but many other countries world wide do not necessarily use this system. In Sri Lanka the Cameras were not to that spec and so the data for Hawkeye was less and it had a larger margin of error (remember the Cricket World Cup? The 2.5 metres in front of the stumps thing?) Anyway, the POINT is that what is being tested at SMS using Camera technology MUST be capable of being used GLOBALLY - after all it is FIFA that have to approve it, not the FA/FL alone, so the technology must be able to be used in all sorts of countires which may not have such widespread access to HD camera technology for every game. Oh and the comment about not being faulty? how does anyone KNOW? Ball track shows hitting a pad, so obviously there is no reference point of "reality" to check that against. The technology IS subjective, damned good, BUT subjective

Not gonna be able to listen. Am working Saturday evening (yeah there's a Golf Event coming up down here) Would hope we turn up in the 1st half and play with a bit more bite - I loved the 1st half against Brighton - the "you know what, you're not even worth getting up a sweat" attitude as we controlled them - but would be concerned if we try and do that against a team with a bit of momentum. Will be happy just to keep the bus rumbling onwards with a scrappy win by an odd goal, and save the tear them 25 new ones Away performance for you all know where. Luckily the son is here on hols so will set him up to listen to DM & take control of the txt'ing of updates. EoA will either be working or his usual befuddled OSH self trying to txt with 20 fingers

This. Let's face it they should have been closed down for Insolvent Trading BEFORE they got relegated or went into admin, probably one of the worst legal performances in ages by HMRC. The fact that they have limped on means that they have now wasted two years. Those 21 months could have been enough for AFCP to have been established and (God Forbid) IF they had started in the BSQ they could have been almost back in the FL by next season with everyone calling them plucky and mistaking their resurrection with that of AFC Wimbledon. No they've wasted that rebuilding time and faced further humiliation, and of course it has now co-incided with our remarkable turn around in fortunes. Karma is a b1tch and revenge is best served slowly and painfully. Let the cheats struggle on and miss the chance to start next year in BSQ as well

Not taking any political side in the mess, but doesn't that entiire thing read like "A Benefit Society" attitude? We're in a mess so "The Government" (in this case EPL.FL) must do something. They didn't want anyone asking questions when the times were rosy. They didn't PAY any taxes to expect any return (oh sorry Benefit Society never do that anyway) In other random rambling thoughts. So Vlad is accused of being less than honest in his business dealings. So possibly his money came about by deception or fraud? So possibly that could be termed as stolen from others. So since June 11th the few have been kept going with stolen money. Maybe those Latvians/Lithuanians queuing in the rain for their money might like to know it was spent on mending a leaking tap in a toilet

Ah so much to look forward to, not least the new songs for the game in a couple of weeks or so. Pompey's going down with their owner in the nick... Where's your owner gone (where's your owner gone) Banged up away Think we are getting to the stage where we may need a new Statue at SMS.... (or at least TSW Towers) for FF, after all it was he that started this whole ball rolling

I did post this an hour or so before the real big stories broke. Arrogance. Total arrogance. It completely fits the bill of everything I have found. He is always right, makes Rupert appear humble. Probably has not even registered that he has done anything wrong at any step in his life. That's only analysis, but I have seen an awful lot of people like him in my travels and they are all the same.

Correct. IF you look at the wfb website you can see that Vlad is mentioned as.... A Manager Roman is a Director So licenced they are. Rules bent? Possibly.
