Isn't there supposed to be an axe locked away somewhere so that the cabin crew can hack their way in? Obviously it's in a secret location

They're not all like you. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2588284/Why-hello-bear-Friendly-animal-waves-paw-visitors-enclosure-Spanish-zoo.html

Let's not be too precious over what was said or passed on from personal contacts. It's very easy for the precise meaning to get modified or misinterpreted but what is important is the general gist of the information and I'm sure we are all grateful that anyone should take the time to pass on what they have heard.

Very true. We seem to be ok provided the other team don't score

Ta. £10 eh, do you get the book thrown in?

First I've heard. What is it?

That's why the payers have numbers on their backs. The rules were changed a few years ago to include numbers on the front of the shorts to avoid having to make the players turn round so you could see who they were.

He's a good ref, nothing to worry about.

Very clever. That means they must have a means of knowing the exact frequency of the replies from the aircraft. There is also the timing of the replies to look at. The satellite sends time slot references telling the object when to transmit and the position within this slot gives some indication of the distance the message has travelled. Unless there was more information involved as has been mentioned above.

Unless they were all asleep then it's always possible that somebody would have known where they were. The moon was first quarter that night and set at 01:29 so if I read that right it should still have been visible when they made their turn to the left. Then there are geeks like me who look at their compasses or GPS location just out of interest. I flew up through France next to a young boy who gleefully showed me everything we were passing on a map on his phone.

If it was VHF then anybody could have overheard it and the Americans and others almost certainly did. If Squidgy tapes and others can turn up from (cough) amateur radio enthusiasts then eventually these recordings would seep out.

Of course, but you don't want to make a habit of losing. What lessons did we learn from yesterday? “Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.”

So... the more you lose the better you'll be?

Losing can only be negative. If it weren't then every club would be doing it.

But that was to the old company, or was it the one before? Any payment would no longer be liable, and if it were it would surely be diluted to 5p in the pound (or whatever) and that would be diluted again...

I still would.

More importantly, will there ground meet the minimum requirements of the Conference? And if they are relegated, is it good enough for the Football League?

2-0 is always a dangerous lead. If the other side gets one back the momentum is all with them. Having said that, sloppy errors cost us yesterday. That's 2 sloppy games in a row.

You can't really complain about the referee, he could have given them a penalty but decided it wasn't a foul.

I sincerely hope we're not going to blame the referee for losing that today?

Actually we stopped playing a few weeks ago.

We stopped playing at half time.

Adam!

J-Rod!

Nayim's was better.
