Whitey Grandad

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?

The definition of 'interfering with play' changes with the wind.

You can also download a pdf of the latest copy of LOAF which might save you a few quid.

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'.

They've probably been reading this forum.

How many seats?

Yup, suits me too. I really don't want playoffs, thank you.

Agreed, Second place is the minimum that we should hope for. I don't fancy the playoffs where anything can happen, one dodgy decision or red card and it's all back to League 1 next season.

Fourthted I wouldn't wish that on anybody and much as I'd like the loss expunged I have always fancied a trip down west.

At the risk of sounding obvious, the only proof of the quality of the squad is the position in the table. A couple of disappointing games have dampened the mood somewhat.

Oh yes!

Could have been worse, could have been better. On balance I'd say it was about the best we could have expected, save perhaps signing Mackail-Smith.

As it happens, I have paid £10. For some reason my subscription was deducted twice. And even I can't get on the forum at busy times.

So Pulis is staying then?
