Whitey Grandad

I agree. He did a lot of covering and other unglamorous work. It was nice to see him get a good round of applause when he was subbed.

Tomorrow afternoon after the second match on ITV. The next round will be played the weekend of the 13th/14th February so the home match with Hartlepool will have to be re-arranged.

I prefer your answer Seriously though, I suppose that the semifinals are a realistic possibility, given a favourable draw.

Because we were the first tie drawn for this round. Keep up!

...and not pass on the payments from Tottenham? Hmm... :smt017

Not being funny but... ...why does it matter to the likes of us any more?

Tottenham are interested in taking Kaboul back for £10m, less the £2m they are owed and £1.5m as the sell-on value, so a net £6.5m for Pompey (or their creditors) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1245137/Tottenham-Manchester-City-Sunderland-10m-race-Portsmouth-defender-Younes-Kaboul.html

I think it's better for both parties if he gets regular football from now on. We need to keep moving upwards and until we find our level I'm afraid we don't have time to let 'potential' develop. We need results now, even if we have to buy them instead of growing them.

The FA must be notified by 12:00 mid-day on the Friday before the tie. I think it must be in writing, which would probably mean a fax.

Yup, Martinez took him to Wigan when he was appointed manager there.

He's a good player at this level. I think he's been a bit unlucky in the Premiership.

Are you saing that the parachute money might be diverted to pay off debts?

3 match ban for standard violent conduct which starts immediately, i.e. next competitive first team game. If the club appeals then this can possibly be increased by one if the appeal is held to be frivolous. Previous yellows are not affected but if it were two yellows in the same game that would count as one red with a consequent one-match ban. His ban is confirmed here: http://www.thefa.com/TheFA/Disciplinary/SuspensionLists.aspx

Grabbing a player by the collar is just as bad as pushing another away in the faceand both could count as violent conduct in my book. What was Morgan supposed to do to defend himself? The ref was losing control of the game by then and the sending-off was a consequence of this. If his control had been tighter from earlier on then this incident would probably not have happened. No doubt his assessor will have detailed it all in his report but it won't help Morgan, I'm afraid.

It will probably be reported as 'violent conduct'. Anything above the top of the chest can be considered as such these days.

They usually lead to cooling. Mount Pinatubo was the last that I remember. They also emit an enormous amount of CO2, which is where all the atmospheric CO2 is thought to have come from originally (including coal, gas and oil). Of course, without the CO2 there would be no plants, and hence no animals. http://geography.about.com/od/globalproblemsandissues/a/pinatubo.htm

I have'nt had one of those for years

I'm all for it. My slippers will need replacing one day so now I know where to go. Incidentally, why are they called 'slippers' if they stop you falling over. :confused:

This article is all a little bit vague, really. I like the bit about 'greenhouse gases are much more effective higher up in the atmosphere where it’s colder'. That's also where they will have the least effect. None of the current models deal adequately with the effects of cloud cover, which one would expect to increase with the amount of water vapour. CO2 and other gases cannot account for 15-35% of warming or we would all have have frozen 1000 years ago.

One big volcanic eruption has a much bigger effect than anything we have produced.

Indeed, but water vapour is the most potent, and it is a natural phenomenon, but its production is dependent on global temperatures. The scientific debate is over whether, and by how much, the production of water vapour adds to man-made temperature rise by 'positive feedback'. All that I have found so far is 'we don't know'.

Ah, but it wouldn't be the same Portsmouth, would it?

If someone can't be bothered to read and correct what they write, then everything that they have published must be questioned.

Hmmm... I'd rather be beaten by Leeds than Carlisle.

I'm sure that if AP had wanted him we could have had him back on loan. I prefer a permanent signing, myself.
