Whitey Grandad

It appears that the £450k is only the sum of the 26 charges brought against her. There were plenty of others that were not listed.

How would you know?

They all do to a greater or lesser extent.

Exactly. If it messes up your brain then it must be doing some damage.

There does not have to be contact for it to be a foul, despite what all the TV commentators might say.

Useless wallies. I get home to Chandlers Ford within the hour and that includes 30 minutes walking.

Quite true, plus the wages, fees etc.

I saw an item about old railway tunnels under Lord's. http://www.thecnj.com/westend/2009/051509/wnews051509_04.html

What would he rather have, another league game or a Saturday off?

Even I can't blame him. Another taller keeper might have got his fingertips to the first but equally the ball could have looped straight into the net. It shows the advantage of having a shot instead of waiting for the perfect shooting opportunity.

Yes, of course, I was mainly referring to the plastic junk part of it. I am totally against the dumping of rubbish like this in the seas. I once saw a school of fish in Malaga harbour. One of them had swum into a clear plastic bag and obviously had no chance of swimming out backwards. It was heartbreaking.

I take no credit for the theory, but some small steps in understanding the process: http://arstechnica.com/science/2011/08/cern-investigates-connection-between-cosmic-rays-and-clouds/ http://press.web.cern.ch/press-releases/2013/10/cerns-cloud-experiment-shines-new-light-climate-change http://arstechnica.com/science/2013/10/cern-experiment-finds-key-ingredient-for-cloud-droplets/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrik_Svensmark The theory even has a name: cosmoclimatology. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmoclimatology#Role_in_climate_change Jasper Kirkby at CERN is the other loud proponent: http://notrickszone.com/2013/05/19/cerns-jasper-kirkby-on-the-newest-unpublished-results-of-cloud-the-results-are-very-interesting/ It would seem that the results are 'interesting but inconclusive'. I suppose that means a whole new round of funding is required.

Is it going to freeze then?

Martin Atkinson?

There are a lot of unrelated issues in there. Anything else that you'd like to get off your chest?

Hasn't scored many for Palace, has he?

He didn't like the seats in the dugout apparently, he was wrestling with his after he was substituted yesterday.

Potheads, the lot of them.

Once you have been booked for diving then you should automatically not get any foul given in your favour for the rest of the game, or the rest of the season if you're Ashley Young or Suarez.

Yes, very noticeable yesterday. Nobody wants to hit the ball first time.

Me too. He showed some quality touches at times. I think our best tactic in those conditions would have been the diagonal ball to Rickie out wide on the left. It may not be pure football but we needed to be more direct today.

If Barnard played he would also be cup-tied. I'm sure the club would be looking to get him a move away during this window.

Stands for 'difference'. It's a mathematics/physics thing.

Yeah, still a foul even without the dive.

I've also just found out that Eden Hazard is French for 'diving fairy'. Every time that he could see that he was going to lose the ball he just threw himself to the ground. It also cost us a yellow card or two.
