Unfortunately "lots and lots of bagged up coins" is not legal tender (£1 & £2 coins excepted) http://www.royalmint.com/aboutus/policies-and-guidelines/legal-tender-guidelines

or anything up to £99,999.99 in the skate dialect of spinglish

Not to mention repeatedly posting a photo of 2 identical shirts alongside each other whilst stating a preference for the one on the left

This was from 2010. Think there may be a tad less sand left in the top half by now.

Think it's time we all started learning this. [video=youtube_share;cHcunREYzNY]

It became a tour when the poor sods over there found out that no-one had paid the fare for them to come back again. They are "working their passage" back home

Simple question is, does he need those type of prosthetics to walk? No. I have an uncle with a false leg (drove lorry over a land mine). His false leg looks like.... well a false leg. If OP was able to run fast using that type of prosthetic I would say let him run. But have you ever seen anyone walking down your local high street with the sort of false leg and foot he races in? No, because they are specifically designed not just for routine movement but for speed. And much as his natural body may be at a disadvantage, that gives him an unnatural advantage. I do sympathise with his situation but a line has to be drawn. If they (the artificial running limbs) are allowed then why not a motorised wheelchair.? Could a basketball team of midgets using "flubber" soled shoes be refused? Paralympics are, sadly for him, where he belongs.

Yes he should be allowed to compete. BUT, he shouldn't be allowed to use the artificial limbs.

Pretty much how market forces work for ticket touts, and that's an industry that has thrived on that model for longer than any of us care to remember. (doesn't mean I condone it but proves it DOES work)

Presumably, technically a trialist is invited for a trial and makes his own arrangements. Taking contracted players would have required insurance premiums being paid.

This may be a clue . Rosie may have just remembered her other pin number

Sweepstake entry. They have taken the **** so often can I be really precise and go for 14:59 on 18th August 2012 - the "crowd" are in place, Bompey and the officials are waiting patiently to kick off, only then to realise that there is no opposition, and a plain white van is heading rapidly up the M275 with the takings from the turnstiles.

Disagree. A phoenix club should retain the old club's history. If it is the only club in the city and was only started as a direct result of the old one's liquidation then in my eyes that is still "Portsmouth FC". It wouldn't be a FCUM scenario, set up whilst MUFC still exist. And on a more important note, it needs to retain the history so that history shows what happens to a club when they get caught cheating.

No problem. He made it clear that it was in collusion with other teams skippers/players. The Premier League will soon make sure the story is "buried". Also good opportunity for the club to put a positive spin on it, emphasising the difference between the "old" club and the current "Southampton way"

Not exactly home end but was in the middle of Arsenal fans at Cardiff for Cup Final. Daughters were 2 of the player mascots, and we didn't get tickets till we were there . No point trying to hide it, dressed in yellows, with flag etc. Had one or two (or more, plenty more before the game) so joined in our songs, even standing up alone, arms outstretched for a rendition of "Stand up if you love the Saints" at one stage. Think I was tolerated, most around us seemed a bit plastic anyway, may have been different if we won. Thought I was in trouble at the end when I got a tap on the shoulder, turned , and saw the stereotypical looking thug, 40ish , beer belly, Arsenal tattoos, grade 1, calling me from the aisle about 8 seats away. He pointed at me (oh ****), then pointed at the rest of you massed behind the goal, and started clapping (phew) . Don't think it's something I'd ever choose to do again, certainly not in a non-neutral venue

Well if that's not a definition of being confused by which team is which I don't know what is. Not relevant to a third kit but I often wonder if a Saints player (for example) plays all home games and around 50% of away games in an (old stylee) red and white striped shirt, is he likely - in the heat of the game as you describe - to mistakenly pass to a Stoke or Sunderland player, irrespective of what colour strip Saints are in on the day. ?

Agreed. Clubs wear change kits just for the sake of it some times. All white shirt (ok with pinstripes invisible from anywhere further than 10 yards) red shorts red socks against mainly red shirts with white stripes white shorts and white socks. Anyone confused by which team is which needs a serious eye test.

That's that then. Any chance MLT still had of an England recall is definitely gone now

I have no problem with a change in style as long as the traditional red/white colour scheme is kept to in some way. Apart from the sash shirt which was my favourite football shirt of all time I haven't liked a home shirt since 1985. There's only so much you can do with stripes and they just never look "class" whatever you do with them. I quite simply just don't like the shirt, for no other reason than I simply don't like it. As for people who say they will buy it anyway (to wear, not talking collectors) even though they don't like it , FFS get a life and a mind of your own.

^^^^ This. 100 times this ^^^^

Well you have to be positive and assume things will work out ok when organising these things. I mean, League One has gone ahead with a 24 team fixture list.....

Would tie in with something I heard a few weeks ago, along the lines of forget the press rumours, the club is only looking to sign U21 Internationals . First JayRod, .............

With 3 British clubs how will they segregate this.? Just a one off ticket price makes me think there's no choice where you sit. Reduced capacity allocated something like Rangers/Northam Arsenal/Chapel Saints/Itchen&Kingsland with 4 empty corners .. Might have filled it at £15, can't see more than 5K at that price

Where, anywhere did I mention supporting Saints? My post specifically mentioned casual fans who want to watch Premier League football. I know it's hard for some to believe but there are a huge number of people around who simply just want to watch and/or experience live PL football. Some will always be casual, others will be converted to become one club fans. The important thing is attracting them and having room for them. Get them once, hopefully they'll enjoy it and come again as neutral or supporter. Surprisingly when the Pemier League carried out a National Fans Survey only 53% of fans gave the reason for attending their first game was because it was their local team. Casual floaters also probably bring more money into the club on a person by match basis. Don't attend regularly so more likely to be willing to splash out on a higher price ticket. Probably don't know the area around the ground so well so more likely to fork out for food and drink in the stadium instead of pubs etc. Not to mention corporate guests. Much as I, probably along with most of us, hate to admit it, the casual "prawn sarnie" brigade is where the money is. There's no need for the club to do anything to attract the "hardcore" fans, they'll turn up regardless.
