Suspicion of murder, it would appear: http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-News/Salford-Burglar-John-Bennell-Stabbed-To-Death-Peter-Flanagan-Held-On-Suspicion-Of-Murder/Article/201106416017860?lpos=UK_News_First_UK_News_Article_Teaser_Region_0&lid=ARTICLE_16017860_Salford_Burglar_John_Bennell_Stabbed_To_Death%3A_Peter_Flanagan_Held_On_Suspicion_Of_Murder

So tell me, what was actually funny about it. As I said before I didn't get the joke, nor it seems did many others. When is 'back in the day'? I'm pretty long in the tooth and go back some time but I don't remember being encouraged to, or actively making fun of people with disabilities. Even, if as you say it is (was) not wrong 'back in the day', I think that if you pull your head out of the clouds, you'll find that society has changed somewhat and many things that were socially acceptable 'back in the day' are not considered so now. Anyway, you carry on laughing - don't forget to explain the joke to us less able people, I'm off back to my tree.

Perhaps you'd care to explain then Dune, I watched Paul Maynards speach and was nothing but inspired by it. Have we all missed the joke, or do you have some other issues?

Interesting debate chaps, but I'm 'fence sitting' on this one for now. What I would say though is that I rarely make games as I have lived out of the country since the late 70's. However, whenever I have travelled back I always tried to get tickets for games and can only remember once when I failed to get one - and always through official channels. I was also one of the JCL's who easily managed to get a ticket for the JPT as well, having not been to a single game all season. Therefore I think that Turkish has a point at this juncture in time - perhaps the demand is not as high as some percieve. I would like to see us expand and grow, but I think that stadium expansion should be explored but put on the back burner until we have achieved the 5 year plan aim first. If we are successful with that goal, then perhaps we will be in a position to consider our fanbase numbers. Don't forget - at the end of the day - once planning permission is granted, it's possible to expand or even build a new stadium in a relatively short space of time, so all of this could be achieved fairly quickly. But it's a decission that has to be right at the time - I would hate to see us playing in the Premiership with row upon row of empty seats every week, ala Wigan and a few others.

On the face of it, with the limited facts available, you have to come down on the side of the house owner. 4 unknown masked men in your house at midnight pose significant risk, arming yourself with a knife is warranted as far as I am concerned.

600...! Make it worthwhile - go for 6k, if you get caught plead ignorance. The worst they can do is make you pay the duty, confiscate them or, if we on the forum have any luck, throw you in the slammer for a few weeks....!!!

No, his downfall was that 9 out of 10 games he was shyte.

Why, a thread started by a poster by the name of (wait for it) 'thetomatokid'...! and you give it enough creedance to get wound up by it - I really would not waste the energy. Some people are just so ****in mongish - I heard it from the fukin electricity man - right yeah. Geeze, read some of the other threads on there, it is a childs playground - the average age of contributors is probably between 11 - 14 years of age. Why the **** get wound up over an 11 year old kid ffs.

I did catch the show a few times and thought that it was absolute garbage, but each to their own, it's not a crime to make shyte tv these days. If it transpires that he died drink driving or driving at excessive speed then it is very difficult to do anything but agree with DPS. On a similar note, very happy to see this: http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Owen-Wightman-Man-Arrested-Following-Death-Of-Six-Year-Old-In-Hit-And-Run-Collision/Article/201106316015864?lpos=Home_First_UK_News_Article_Teaser_Region_0&lid=ARTICLE_16015864_Owen_Wightman%3A_Man_Arrested_Following_Death_Of_Six-Year-Old_In_Hit-And-Run_Collision Hopfully it is the man responsible, he will be charged and we will hang him. Then again - some judge will probably slap his wrist and put 9 points on his licence.

Looks like those people have acted: http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Showbiz-News/Video-Amy-Winehouse-Cancels-European-Summer-Tour-After-Being-Booed-In-Serbia/Article/201106316014871?lpos=Showbiz_News_Second_Home_Page_Article_Teaser_Region_3&lid=ARTICLE_16014871_Video%3A_Amy_Winehouse_Cancels_European_Summer_Tour_After_Being_Booed_In_Serbia - better late than never. Hope she gets over it ok.

Sad, sad state of affairs, the world watches as the woman dies (in more ways than one) in front of our eyes. Those closest, her parents, friends, family and management owe it to her to get her the f uck out of the firing line now. She needs serious help - I wonder how many Amy fans show up and how many 'Freak' fans show.

I do think that Mikes avatar should be 'headless' by now, as it is it makes me crease up, but after this flag dilemma I can see nother but a headless chicken....!!! But seriously, great effort Mike - well done.

Can't stand the bloke. Taxi for Boycotte.... eh, oohhh.... !!!!

I'm sorry, but when I see this flag, I think this: I don't know why I just do. While the brilliant Sir HS would probably have a wry smile, for me it just doesn't work as well as Gekos image.

Errr, well said that man.

Really didn't like this image on all of the flags that have gone before, but now you have worked some magic on it I have to confess it looks good. I would have blown the money by now on Scudamores design - but I like this one as well. Errrrrrr..... do we have enough money for 2 flags Mike.....?????

Just so as some perspective can be put on this: and and: Not trying to be funny, but it seems a recurring theme - so thought perhaps some logos might help either way. Personally - I don't see any problem at all - I dont get the KFC / Tesco thing at all.

Luvit ...! If it was my money - it would be in your pocket now. For me, it's clean, concise and simple - yet totally effective. I don't get Tesco' and I don't get KFC - I get tribute to the guy that saved the club.

Without doubt the most interesting league if you are a nuetral. For me the premier league is now quite a boring affair, let's face it, the relegation battle is generally a lot more exciting than anything that is going on at the top of the league. I don't know naff all about betting, but given the relative parity of teams in the championship, I would imagine it is a bookies nightmare.

I like this, I like this a lot. Not sure about the font - but every thing else looks pretty good.

Probably best image so far imho - would like to see the crest (not necessarily in colour) incorporated and both the image and crest at an angle, with something simple like 'Saint Markus'. Don't like the idea of the words 'thanks' on it - I think that message is kind of obvious really. Without wanting to upset all ye good posters putting ideas up - we really do, as somebody above said, need Gecko Saints help - this is (I believe) the sort of thing he does for a living.

Fair play to the guy for telling it how it is. It's pretty refreshing to hear a player tell it like it is and not make excuses, it's good that he understands how the fans feel, and what they are probably thinking. That said - red tape or no red tape, the board, the management are fools for letting it get to that stage. They should be running the club within the League rules. This is not the players fault.

This. Sometimes I loved him, others I loathed him, and on those latter occasions I just 'scrolled on by' to the next post. Life is far too short to be taking this forum that seriously.

To me, makes no difference. I think that the FA cup has lost a lot of it's glamour anyway - no longer the 'must see' occassion that it once was. Can't even remember who won it this year. Playing semis at Wembley is also a crock of shyte too.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that you completely missed the point...
