  15. Quite so.
  16. Can't blame him. I know I was in the first half.
  17. Mandatory yellow.
  18. One good pass out to their left winger.
  19. We never got out of second gear.
  20. Pulling back by grabbing a shirt. Or shorts. Yes, he's a good, solid pro, an important of the squad.
  21. You could say the same about tossing a coin.
  22. Exactly. Usually it's the last game or two that do that.
  23. When I first heard of this it was pretty scary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Able_Archer_83
