Are we likely to draw a Bulgarian team in the Champions League?

Exactly this. Plus all the abundance of TV cameras and the fact that they only highlight the mistakes, even to the point of inventing mistakes when they don't understand the laws of the game.

You've obviously never seen me in operation ?

Kelvin was spotted in Waitrose in Chandlers Ford earlier today so although he likes saving it doesn't extend to getting a good deal on his groceries.

Yes, strange mistake for someone of his experience. As a referee it's the one thing you have nightmares about. This is why the players have big numbers on the back of their shirts and for the last few season in the fronts of their shorts as well. In WBA's case these are big dark blue numbers on a white background.

Well said, although it's sad that you need to say it.

Well done Burnley for making a game of it. Plenty of chances at either end and worrying that we were allowing them so many good opportunities. No yellow cards and played in the right spirit so a big disappointment that Forster got injured. I'm not surprised that we got caught, for the first ten minutes we were playing it around at the back inviting them to close us down and only moving the ball on at the last moment. Mané was very good again. If only he could kick cleanly with his left foot he'd be outstanding. ?

He was caught awkwardly by Vokes, according to my daughter. We shall have to see MOTD later.

Most other teams don't have a petulant Irene as their backup.

This plus loads of injuries.

I think you're being hypercritical.

It might be better if she didn't wake up.

I was thinking hypothetically, but I suppose it might depend on how much milk you put in it and how much you stir it first. I have had people say 'I think that tea you gave me has given me a dodgy tummy'.

Aren't the alleged victims allowed anonymity?

But what if the woman (or man) said that he/she really wanted a cup of tea, was really up for having a cup of tea, drank said cup of tea with relish, thanked their host for the best cup of tea thay had ever drunk but then later complained that they didn't actually want the cup of tea in the first place?

Which is precisely why the accused in these sex cases that we are discussing should remain anonymous until the verdict. There are plenty of people who take the view that there is no smoke without fire.

In the UK, perhaps, but there are plenty of others if you're prepared to travel: http://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/list-total-solar.html

The BBC are full of incompetents. My daughter was watching the so-called live transmission from the Faeroes and just at the crtical moment they cut away to some woman on a plane.

There's a reason it hasn't been tried before. That's because it's such a stupid idea.

That's because the moon's gone away.

Not actually true. There never was a significant problem in the first place. I had a lot of dealings with this and the only problem I had was dealing with all the enquiries from people thinking that there was a problem. Another example of journalists creating panic about something they don't understand. There are enough bugs in operating systems anyway, some of them date-related and many still unresolved.

I have no idea whether or not OJ killed his wife.

There is no way of knowing how many rapes go unpunished. If someone is found innocent of rape then a claim that someone has been raped must necessarily been false.

Of course it's not wht I said, I even included a quote referring to rapes and anyway, the subject under discussion has been determined by the thread title and previous posts. This is not the point under discussion. The question is whether those accused should remain anonymous during the investigation..
