You may be confusing Katharina with her cousin Christina who is an international show jumper who competes successfully for Switzerland.

Jones is a devout Christian, evidently. By definition therefore he is not a Rastafarian, which is not a Christian movement. There is some commonality, as there is with Judaism. Rastafarians, like Jews and fundamentalist Christians will not eat or even touch pork as it is believed to be unclean (Deuteronomy 14:. Really not surprised that KJ was very angry about this "prank", whoever it was shows a complete lack of sensitivity or understanding of someone else's beliefs.

I heard he selected diesel by mistake confirming his long term inability to make proper selections when not supported by Gorman.

Excellent, I find Phil Thomson particularly irritating on Sky Sports. Wasn't aware he was involved directly with saints though.

Big Fat Sam is a shoe in, would continue to develop our style.

The common rail technology business is no more from what I understand, MALI Group has effectively been wound up. As you say the Liebherr family business does cranes and other plant equipment (and electrical white goods and hotels) and have no interest in what MALI did, including Saints. I think some people (not you Windows) do not realise the difference between the Liebherr family and Markus Liebherr as far as business is concerned. There is (was) no overlap, the only reason there is now is because presumably it was left to members of the family in Markus' will (and I'm not talking simply about his daughters, but Isolde and Willi). They are pure business people who want to make money and see SFC as being not part of their core business and so are not too interested in moving it forward.

Actually we don't. We have a hell of a lot to thank Markus Liebherr for. It is was his pet project, his hobby, his passion. No-one else in the family. Remember marks pretty much cut himself off from the rest of the family, he gave back shares in main company and started his own organisation. That doesn;t mean there was any bad feeling necessarily but he was an independent man. Why does anyone think that other members of thr family will have that same passion and vision? What seems to have happened here is that finally the completion of the probate process has ended (speculation on my part) and now with complete control of the purse strings whoever now heads up the trust is calling the shots and is clearly not up for the same vision as was markus. Sadly nothing anyone can do about that, you cannot will someone to be enthusiatic for a project. Markus ensured that financially we would be OK but being financially OK is not the same as trying to take things to another level.

Why is it unbelievable? You are mixing up Markus and the rest of the family. The rest of the family have zero interest in SFC. As I said get the emotions out of the way.

No great surprise. Probably down to all the defenders who climb all over Rickie's back and never get penalised by the crap PL referees.

Which I believe is exactly what he wants. NC is looking to oust the Liebherrs and replace with a party that is actually interested in the future. the Liebherrs are not Markus, the Trust do not have the same vision or desire to take us forward, NC wants someone backing him who has that same desire and drive. We need to cut through the sentiment that connects us with the Liebherrs, and see that our future is not with them but is with NC, at least in the next 2-3 years. Let the Liebherrs go back to their cranes and horses. The sooner the better.

I guess you didn't watch the FA Cup Final then. Citeh demonstrated exactly the same problem as us agains the Baggies. It wasn't our result against WBA it was the performance that was shocking. We just didn't turn up, showed a lack of interest and lack of imagination. Citeh were the same. It was not the only game it happened this season, and the same thing was evident a couple of times last season as well. All teams seem to do this at times and you wonder why they seem so dozy. If I was completely paranoid I would start to suspect some sort of international betting scam, but as I realise that not everyone is out to get me I don't think that at all.

Private Frazer actually - we're doomed

We need more seats.

38 would have been enough with our goal difference

Does the top division in Scotland count as lower league these days? He managed Hearts more successfully than anywhere else arguably. Paul Tisdale and Nick Holmes would count as lower leagues though. Painer managed Cheltenham Town when they were non-league. Peter Reid. Just a thought but maybe Brett Ormerod would make a good assistant for JB at Stanley given his past associations with the club.

Personally I think its more likely that Cortese is not planning to leave. He seems to be trying to engineer s situation where he remains in charge but with a different backer. Its clear to me that the Liebherr family are not interested in SFC as Markus was, and NC is finding it difficult to work with a disinterested owner backing him. He has said before that there are other major investors ready if needed, methinks this is a way of forcing the Liebherr's hands to get out with the least possible disruption and let someone in who genuinely is interested in moving forward. Choice between Cortese and Liebherr family, I will take the former every single day of the week, and there is no slight on Markus by saying that. That empty seat nexy to NC needs to be filled with someone with their heart (and pocket) in the project.

Bit unneccessary isn't it? I really don't know if you are trolling ot just genuinely stupid but maybe I can guess now based on your post. Section U.5.2 covers the possibility of adding Sharpe or anyone else. It won't happen but the possibility exists.

I vote we all go dressed as trolls. In honour of one or two of our friends on this mongboard, only the real trolls should dress "normal" then we will be able to pick them out at the match. Of course in some cases I guess it may be difficult to spot them.

Bet Owen would dive again and get a penalty. Little cheat.

Need to 2 or 3 strikers in the summer, whether or not we sell Mayuka. Cannot go through a whole season with 2 recognised strikers (Lambert & Mayuka). Guly is now used as a midfielder, lose Lambert or JRod and we are fecked.

So a converted try and 2 pens will do it for them. Not much to ask really, good job they'll have a Michael Owen and not a Garryowen.

There has not been too much wrong with our defence since Cork came back to be fair. The problem recently has been lack of goals. A few too many og shockers agreed, but in general we have been solid when we have had our best back 4 available, Clyne/Yoshi/Fonte/Shaw. Just go to pot when we have to rely on Fox and to a lesser extent Jos. Its strength in depth we are lacking.

Michael Owen's parting shot don't you know. He's going to score 12 in his last game and Hooiveld will then score an OG to send us down :-)

Bit pathetic for a man of your age isn't it? I agree he is not really captain material at the moment, it was a mistake to put this weight on a player who had not played in the PL before, but to hate him because he was given the armband by Adkins seems a bit OTT. I think your anti-Lallana vitriol is a rather sad reflection on you rather than AL.

I guess if it gets to 12, squeaky bums might be in vogue (assuming Wigan beat Arsenal of course). Somehow I think even Dalek will accept we are safe now.
