Whitey Grandad

The lack of discipline of Guly and Harding restricted Adkins's choice of how to close out the game. They had to be substituted or they would have been sent off the next time they made a bad tackle.

Just seen the extended highlights. Their third goal looked even less like a penalty than it did at the time. Seaborne just stands still and doesn't raise a foot, even though the ref indicated that he did. Even my missus called it correctly. She said 'he just runs past him and pretends to trip over his leg. He wasn't tripped'.

There's still time for a loan. I just feel that the errors have been getting more frequent lately and it seems to fill the whole defence with the jitters.

And spend next season in League 1?

I've just seen their first goal again and it looks even softer now. The ball bounces twice on the way into the net. I'm becoming all the more convinced that it's time for a new 'keeper.

If we had come back twice from 2-0 down we'd all be buzzing, but it's the same result. The defence was very poor and there was very little composure anywhere. At no time did I really feel confident that we could hold out. Oh well, at least we stopped them from picking up three points.

Why the f**ck didn't Harding head it away ?

Davis again.

We haven't bought one this year. Perhaps some kind soul will tell us?

It's a standing joke between my daughter and me that whichever player is featured in a particular month will be gone by that date

Some people have private banking.

Are they human?

I expect the fans of Lewes do. I was wondering about him just the other day, so thanks for the update.

As an aside, old pennies were made of pure copper and were three to the ounce. Once the price of copper got to £600 a ton then it was worth melting them down. As a schoolkid I went on a visit to Enfield Rolling Mills to see the stuff being smelted and worked which was quite an experience. On one occasion there was a lorry parked just inside the entrance with billets of pure copper and brass, these were about 1 metre square by 15cm thick, and somebody just walked in a drove off with the lot, lorry and all.

I use these http://www.touchsouthampton.com/business/list/bid/3716355#map_directions James Huntley & Sons for aluminium which from memory is about £0.65 a kilo but copper is worth a lot more. You could try giving them a call?

I find such racial stereotyping offensive, be it against mexicans, french, germans, even americans. The presenters are puerile and a lot of the show depends on schoolboy pranks. It's about time they grew up. There could be a good programme in there somewhere.

I think that's the point. Imagine the same situation in the middle of the pitch. I'm sure Fonte would be awarded a foul there.

Great! What position are you playing, and for whom?

Hello, Rupert?

Hugball.

The ball has to be within playing distance of the player doing the 'obstruction' such that he could play it if he wanted to. I don't like to see it, I think the game would be much better without it. In hockey, I believe, it would actually be called as obstruction.

Thanks for the link. It certainly looks like a foul to me. If the ball were in playing distance then Nardiello is entitled to shield it but what he does is an American Football block.

No, it doesn't work like that any more. It doesn't matter for whom the pass was 'intended'.
