Mate, given what they are worth, YOU could buy pompey. Unfortunately though, you would also have to pay the wages, which is a different matter, and probably where the last 5 or 6 owners have got it spectacularly wrong...!

Agreed Charlie - these sports lend themselves to the use of these systems, by the very nature of the sport. The 'in or out' call will be debated numerous times in probably every game / match. Hence is makes sence to make use of such systems. But I'd be surprised if the system is tested more than once in most football league grounds. Perhap they should be installed for major world / european competitions - but I'm not convinced we need them at every league ground.

This struck me as well - although I'm assuming, that what we saw in the clip was merely a prototype of the finished product. If it's not then I could see it both taking and giving some serious damage. I'm not convinced that we really need these systems, yes over the course of the years there have probably been a handful of blatent 'goals' not given, and vice versa - but it all adds to the game. If this technology is used more than twice in a season in the same stadium - it would be unusual. It's probably going to be one of the redundant peices of equipment ever installed into football stadia.

Report from Sky here: http://news.sky.com/home/uk-news/article/16116528 Quite interesting - we get 5 sec mention at the end of the clip.

I turned my guitar amplifier down to 8 so I would only annoy the immediate neighours and not the whole street.

Absolute bollux. I know at least one kid on here who had a bike and bloody remote control car as well.... For the record, I spend loads on my kids at Christmas - they are spoiled rotten. I love Christmas, it's a time to separate the men from the toys.

This. We did what we had to do. To say that we made appalling decisions is easy now - try making those same decissions when the writing was on the wall - not now we have a wealthy benifactor.

Watch it tonight - you'll love it.

Ahhhh I might be sad, and I might be a mong, but I don't do facebook - that is well over me, as is twitter and bebo.... etc. Electronic socialising for me is pretty much done exclusively here. (How sad am I)....!

Thanks for that Lighthouse - this mong will be watching The Gestapo tonight, hoping against hope that they take out Sinita on IACGMOOH.

So you watched it then.....

I think there is immense pressure to go up this season for WHU. They are due to move to the Olympic Stadium and they also have high earners - another season (or even longer) in the Championship, could see them in dire straights as well.

Which if you look around only goes to show that the guy really does have great talent. Unfortunately for us, he got it wrong, these peices never look like going togeather very well - Ted looks better without a head...!!

Exactly, I don't think there's any competition here. Comparisons, maybe - but competition - no.

It would appear that TCWTB ruined it for some of them though, not particularly popular with a lot on there: "That sounds like a great song and we would have loved to join in. But sadly we were stuck 20 or so rows in front of JPFCW & the drummers. What a bunch of mouth breathing, atmosphere killers they really are. How does anyone in the Fratton End put up with them? The real downside of the alcohol ban was that they stayed in the stand at half time pretending to be "jazz drummers". W**kers!"

At the end of the day, it's all about balls.

Honestly, what was all that about. She's such a bloody liability - I wouldn't let her boil a kettle of water.... shhhessssshhhhh.

Interesting thread, would like to add my ten penneth, but to he honest saintbletch has put it into words far more eloquently and succinctly than I ever could have. Agree with him entirely.

A complete whooossh moment, or given the benefit of the doubt a complete tangent - has absolutely nothing to do with the point that you missed, and is not a point that I would have raised - because it is not true. I really can't be arsed to put you back on track - I just don't have the time or inclination anymore.

I think you might have missed out a crucial point of his argument, which if done on purpose makes you look fairly stupid, if done unwittingly makes you look both naive and stupid.

Justice was served...

Stunningly fick, stunningly......

Appears to me to be one of our own doing a little goading before Saturday - I'd rather wait until the final whistle before tempting fate. Most of the Brighton comments on there are pretty spot on tbf.

This.... ...and this.... ...would Rickie have scored the goals that he scored today - quite possibly. Didn't see anything in him that we don't already have better of.
