Interesting how some law-and-order types are quick to criticise the legal system because - in their opinion - thugs and punks are treated too "leniently", but then attack another system of correction (the F.A.) for being too harsh (and not, for example, considering mitigating circumstances). Each incident should be considered on its own merits. The past behaviour and character of the culprit needs to be taken into account. It is often unhelpful to compare one case with another. Ultimately, though, you have to accept the view that the system is operating in good faith and doing its best to police things in a fair and consistent manner. And dealing with some individuals who are immature, self-centred and constantly breaking the rules and looking to get an illegal advantage.

The best single thing we did: took the subway over to Brooklyn and then walked back across the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan. Other highlights: walking for a couple of hours in Central Park; walking along 42nd. St and seeing the UN, the Chrysler Building, Grand Central Station, Times Square; walking around Greenwich Village.

That's a very good summary. I would add that the defence has improved significantly as the season progressed - thanks to the choice of Boruc as goalie and the emergence of Shaw as an excellent, up-and-coming left back.

Come on, Saints!!

Finally --- 13 minutes before!

Where is Saints Player?

Still waiting for Saints Player to kick in!

Really, it's such a hypothetical and, frankly, illogical question, that it's not worth an answer.

Don't let facts get in the way of vague impressions and knee-jerk bias. I'm happy to see him predict a loss - that means we get at least a point!

How solipsistic can you get? You weren't alive then, but there were lots of us who were. Do you understand how this time thing works?

Red and White Stripes Black Shorts next year
Hamilton Saint replied to Horton Heath Saint's topic in The Saints
I strongly disagree. We've had a change for a couple of years. Now it's time to get back to the red-and-white stripes and black shorts - as a definitive message that says, "Hey, we're back, and we're here to stay!" -
This is such an arbitrary, random dichotomy - if this, then not that. Why? How about both? That was then; this is now. We don't have to give up what we once had in order to get something new. We can do both.

I was there in 1958. Nice swimming pool, where I learned to swim under water.

The "little things in life that really annoy you" thread
Hamilton Saint replied to JackFrost's topic in The Lounge
Police spokesmen who inflate their language to make it sound more important: "At this particular juncture in time [now], we intend to ascertain [we're gonna find out] whether or not [if] the perpertrator resides in any of the domeciles in this area of the city [the suspect lives here]." -
No to mention the harm that the US's "permanent war" policy does to their own economy - and to their civil society. There has been, since the 50s, an unholy alliance between government, big business, and the "defence" industry. Eisenhower warned his country about this when he referred to the "military-industrial complex".

I think you'll find that the break-up of the Soviet Union had more to do with resistance from within - especially in Poland (remember Solidarity?) and Czechoslovakia - and the impact of key individuals with real influence, like the Pope and Mikhael Gorbachev.

He did admit, did he not, that he made a mistake coming to Southampton.

It was a cinch, I suppose, that posters would take it in their stride to find as many creative puns as possible. Me? I shy away from this sort of thing. So, I'll let you guys jockey for bragging rights. Really have to hand it to you, though, you've harnessed some good ones.

Saints Player starts 2:40. wtf? It's a home game. Why are they so damned unreliable with this?
-
Anyone have Saints Player yet? Not a peep for me!

I have Riley's A Rainbow in Curved Air on vinyl, but haven't listened to it for many, many years. He did an album with John Cale in the late 60s. I have been listening to Cale a lot lately.

Yes, it's guaranteed that he will go for a draw or home win.
