  1. Statement to supporters on the Bury website warning them of the consequences of tresspass, insult to injury.
  2. I don't think you said anything to disprove what I said, the offside rule was there at the very beginning, it wasn't brought in to solve a problem with goal hanging it was always part of the rules and a hang over from before the codes split. Only a small part of the country for a very short period had no offside, your kick through thing is a red herring. There has always been offside and over time the balance has progressively become fairer between attack and defence. Another red herring is this notion the the law was never intended blah blah blah, it doesn't matter what the original intentions were, the only thing that matters now is the current iteration of the law. IFAB want matters of fact; offside, balls over the line, to be black or white and VAR is a way of achieving that and as the balance of offside is now fair between attack and defence the level of measurement is probably required. I find it hard to understand the level of dislike for VAR. If you don't recall people going on about 'daylight' you haven't been involved in a sunday league argument in the 80's when 'their' lineman deliberately flagged for offside.
  3. Why don't these clubs just sign the cheaper better players, strange.
  4. whaaaahahaha, people taking politics so personally, get a life bruv.
  5. Calm down snowflake people are allowed to find you tiresom, this is not North Korea. Just because people disagree with you doesn't mean they are attacking you.
  6. 73. Are you Saints Fan?
  7. Offside has always been a feature of football and was there long before the codes split, so this 'offside was only introduced to prevent goal-hanging' isn't correct. Also this whole thing about daylight that I heard a few pundits say over the weekend, was from the pre 90's time when an attacker had to be behind the last defender. It was easier for a linesman to judge offside when it was like that but now the defender can be level and people still want them to be allowed a discretion. The balance between defender and attacker is now fair and the technology is there to judge it (it might not be 100% correct, but its the same for everyone), so there shouldn't really be an issue. No one has an issue when goal line technology judges a ball to have not crossed the line by 1mm.
  8. That bloke is well known, he went blind drinking home made vodka but they let him keep his job.
  9. Going to add people who get back into their cars and then fiddle about for ages before pulling off; write milage in a little ****in book, set the sat nav, adjust the mirror, pull on the seat belt and then pull away.
  10. Only known as Glasgow Celtic in their song 'Its a grand old team', so it fits the line better.
  11. Ahh you are actually properly upset about this. Did you smash your keyboard up when you saw the image, are you now refusing to open your mouth as your mum tries to feed you. Mess or is that your other ones catchphrase.
  12. What a surprise the cabbage guy doesn't like it.
  13. The tennis ball thing has been done over here a few times without banning orders, Charlton did it a few times the season before last. Personally whilst I like the idea of everyone playing at the same time as the table gets updated in one hit, I haven't got a real problem with games at different times and I like sitting down and watching a match without any real connection to it. I bet the small clubs in Spain are ****ed of at putting their income in jeopardy.
  14. People don't want Austin, Carillo, Forster, Hoedt to be loyal.
  15. Outage instead of power cut
  16. and the classic footballed turned pundit use of them instead those; them clubs, them players
  17. BBC news when handing over to another correspondent having to include their job title like Asian Editor, no one cares. And then you have the ****s who correct their colleagues "no John I'm the Asian Correspondent', we don't give a **** about the BBC job hierarchy we are just mildly interested in what the ****s in China are up to.
  18. People sitting at the entrance of a petrol station waiting to see what lane comes free first, blocking anyone else from entering and eventually blocking the road. People pulling up to petrol pumps just to go in to the store to buy stuff.
  19. Were you pointing the finger at the time he was signed? Most people wanted us to 'show ambition' by trying to keep players. We are in the same position as a lot of English clubs in that players are being paid too much to countenance a move.
  20. I remember that Villa game, he was given loads of abuse when he came on and missed a couple of real sitters. A year later we were cheering him on as he scored in the same fixture. Seems like a really good bloke.
  21. Because of France Telecoms dirty tricks 35 people are believed to have committed suicide.
  22. It was pre Henry, it was Bergamp and Overmars days. Lee Todd was definitely out of his depth that day. We lost 3 nil.
  23. Burnely having to sell to buy, surely not, we are the only club that has to do that.
  24. We have never invested heavily trying to break into the top 6.
