It certainly looks like a tackle to me. IfJ-rod plants his right foot down without withdrawing it he would be lucky to escape a serious injury.

In this case the left leg doesn't matter. Merely having to take avoiding action with the right can be considered enough for a foul.

It was the clean sheet that won it as much as the penalty.

Not tripe at all. Go and do a refereeing course and then come back.

The wording is: 'trip, or attempt to trip' so there does not have to be contact for it to be a foul.

The wording of the relevant law is 'trip, or attempt to trip'

No charge for change of address. (I think)

I shall reserve judgement until I've seen the incident. Great result though.

A draw wouldn't be the end of the world but we need to pick up some wins sooner rather than later. A couple of wins might even tip the balance if any player is undecided about coming to join us.

'...entering administration after the fourth Thursday in March...' are the relevant words.

Bit more about the effect of the sun here: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2013/08jan_sunclimate/

A team cannot start a second successive season in administration, nor can they spend more than 18 months in administration. I don't know what happens if they break these condiitions.

Too many fingers.

Definitely should have been disallowed, but that is up to the officials. Once the ball has hit him on the hand and is rolling into goal then anybody would have followed it up. Just poor refereeing.

'Man playing football gets hit on the head by the ball'. It happens countless time on Sunday mornings in your local park. I remember Paul Scholes hammering the ball at a Saints player a few years ago. Not a dicky bird from anyone. That was a frustrated slice and not intentional. Bunch of Northern softies.

So this young lad wants to fly to the moon to prove that it isn't possible? One thing I do know is that for only $200m dollars it certainly isn't possible. Pap, you are right to question every piece of evidence and information that is offered to you. As an engineer myself (that is a Chartered Design Engineer, not a boiler-mender) I have learnt to examine everything that I come across. Sometimes you can determine its veracity very quickly, at other times you need a more thorough examination. I am quite satisfied that the moon ladings were genuine, indeed the claims of the hoaxists are so trivial that they don't bear a moment's examination and seem to be based on a very meagre understanding of the physics involved. As for man-made global warming, well that's a different story. ;-)

21 degrees, clear skies and a beautiful calm ocean out here in mid-atlantic. If this is post-apocalyptic then I'm quite happy.

This thread has diverted away from serious scientific argument and degenerated into name-calling.There's only a couple of days left until the world comes to and end and we still haven't analysed and debunked more than a couple of the arguments. I have limited internet access and I am on holiday so please, what's next?

I'm on the Aurora, which is full of geriatrics and only few young families, so there should be plenty of fresh meat to go round, even if it is a bit chewy. We should have enough fuel to get halfway round the world, what's left of it. If not, then they will all have to get out in the lifeboats to give us a tow and start rowing.

I shall be mid-Atlantic on a cruise ship so I should be ok as far as tsunamis and zombies are concerned. What should I look out for?

Thinking about it, it's probably best to spread your DNA as widely as possible. Better start now.

But they do sweep from the window to the interior. I don't think the lens is covered up.

It is 2/4 but divide top and bottom by 2 to make it simpler. Another question- should vulgar fractions be taught to young children?

Looks ok to me. High mass, low G. The flashes could be anything, even cosmic rays.

Can you explain that decimals are in fact fractions with a denominator of 10, 100 etc.?
