  1. Bus vouchers were included with the season ticket booklet.
  2. Bugger me, we're in total agreement
  3. I'll have another look. There is a procedure to be followed and no official will cause an unnecessary delay.
  4. You'd like to think so. Long was offside many times and most of them were clear cut. There was one in injury time that was tighter but his head and torso were comfortably past the last defender. I'll try to get a screenshot and post it but I may have fallen asleep before that happens
  5. No, it's up to the team to make sure that the player's ready and that the fourth official has all the relevant info. You can't delay the game indefinitely. Out of interest I'll look again tonight but at the time I thought all was in order.
  6. So what? If the fourth official's not ready the game will recommence.
  7. I get your point, but before some smart Alec pipes up the nearest tube station is some way away from the ground
  8. It's still on my TIVO box but getting anything off that wouldn't be easy (for me). Which particular incident are we talking about? There were several and all were illusrtated during the match and I didn't see anything contentious with any of them.
  9. It wouldn't have changed anything. Neither decision would have been overturned.
  10. I have looked at it, he wasn't level, hence offside. His upper body was beyond the defender.
  11. It was a substitution and they can only take place when there is a break in play. An injured player can return during play with the referee's permission. Not such a muppet, is he?
  12. Stopgap at the moment. Needs to go out on loan to an upper Championship side. I'm sure the experience is doing him a world of good but it's not helping with our current performances.
  13. Very, very few keeps would have saved Ericsson's shot. You have unrealistic expectations of what keepers can do.
  14. Nope. He was off. He was nearer the goal than the second to last defender, what more do you want?
  15. H was comfortably offside. All he had to do was hang back a yard and let his speed get him to the ball.
  16. He wasn't level, he was offside.
  17. They won't offer him much protection. He should play in a protective boot from now on, just to be safe. Two boots would be better Seriously, good news.
  18. Shame your dart missed
  19. He wasn't shocking at Watford. Let's keep some sense of persepctive please.
  20. Kane got an ankle injury today. I know I shouldn't but.

    Budget

    Final salary pensions? I've heard of them but never seen one. I vaguely remember some old people talking about them but they're up there with Santa Claus, the Yeti and women who always say what they mean. They're a myth that's told to upset youngsters. We're going to discover neutrinos, dark matter, the Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail and life on Mars before we ever find evidence of one.

    'Might not'? 'Probably'? As an example: My wife paid extra whilst she was working and bought extra years for her pension. Her friend who is a couple of years younger received the same amount despite never paying any extra. The plans are for everybody to get the same basic amount whatever their contribution record.

    Budget

    ??? Just take a look at the figures for government borrowing and budget deficits. No matter how worthy the spending it is unsustainable.

    'Entitlement-showered'? Where do you dig up this claptrap? Anything that I get I have paid for several times over.

    There have been cuts in increases. We are still spending wildly beyond our means.
