Get in there!!! Well done Rickie. It's so nice to have someone who can take a penalty again. Now come on Saints, let's get a 2nd, and a 3rd, and a 4th.............

And in doing so reduced the number of points acquired by others. It's a double-edged sword. Personally I think it's a good move for him. He is on the fringes here and has come off the bench 3 times out of the 4 he has been there this season. But we have a stronger squad after signing Hammond and with Mills and Holmes back he is a bit further down the pecking order. At MKD he will join up with his brother and will (hopefully) gain valuable experience of playing in this league. It's a long season and when Hammond has to miss a couple of games (which will happen at some point) it could be down to a choice of Wotton, Gillett or Gobern to step up to the plate. If he makes a good impression at MKD it could push him into the frame upon his return. Good luck Oscar, and come back a better (or at least more experienced) player.

Then why are you 'content' that Jamie Bulger's torturers and murderers are not only living free and happy lives but ones set up for them (at taxpayer expense) in complete anonymity?

How can any sane person be 'content' with this? :confused: Would you be 'content' if the same happened to your child and his/her murderers? If not, why is it okay for the murderers of someone else's child?

Do you think Ian Huntley is ever likely to be proved innocent? What are your thoughts on the scum who tortured and killed Jamie Bulger now living free and happy lives, possibly somewhere in Hampshire?

I would happily be put to the test on this one. If you put Ian Huntley in front of me and a loaded gun in my hand he would not survive very long; although the first few shots would not kill him as I would 'accidentaly' shoot off his nuts and kneecaps first. And this is not bravery behind a keyboard but someone who has spent 25 years in the military, which one really shouldn't do unless they are prepared to kill when necessary and justified. By the way, are you glad that Huntley has his 3 square meals a day, and has a nice TV to watch, etc, whilst enjoying better comforts than are afforded to those who risk their lives for Queen and country every day?

I won't quote all of your posts but suffice to say I see things exactly the same way as you do on this topic.

As for all those having a pop at Jake....... He is a young lad who is currently being utilised in a RM/RW position. He had many outings last season, for the first team and the reserves, in many different positions. The season before that he was primarily used in the youth team and reserves as a CB! Just what do you expect OF A YOUNGSTER who has has not been coached properly for the past couple of years? FWIW I do honestly believe he can become a fairly decent player and wish him all the best of luck, both with us and T&T if he takes up the offer.

I fully agree, but he has never had PACE! Well said!

Ahhh, I see. Apologies for sarcastic response then. No, it was not an utterly silly comparison as SS did not say anything about skill level, only speed.

I understand this is a debate which run and run and run so I shall just give my opinion. I believe that in certain cases (Ian Huntley, Harold Shipman, etc) where there is not one iota of doubt about the person's guilt that the taxpayer should not be burdened with keeping them alive. I would much rather the government spent the less than 10p on a bullet for Huntley than the hundreds of thousands it will cost to keep him inside for the rest of his natural. Oh, and if the f--ker wants to commit suicide, let him! I wouldn't say I'd the job, but I could certainly do it and (as in the case above) would do so willingly.

Yeh, because Beckham has always been lightening qui....... oh! P.S. Well done on the call-up Jake!

I wonder if you would still feel that way if (God forbid) one of your children were ever r*ped, tortured and murdered?

Belarus is one of the few European countries still with the death penalty, and that is how it is done here; a bullet in the back of the head (or so I have been led to believe).

it looks like the team will be: Forecast Argent - Lancashire - Jaidi - Molyneux Mellis - Pulis - Gillett - Holmes Waigo - Paterson Subs: Dovey, Tafazoli, McNish, Preen, White http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/ReservesNews/0,,10280~1797906,00.html

As in: there was an Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman funny. Oh well, never mind, don't worry your pretty little head about it.

RIP Patrick

Rightly or wrongly, I found the following article highly amusing: Panic broke out on a flight to Paris when the cabin crew played an emergency landing announcement by mistake. Passengers on the Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Paris began shouting out and crying as they thought their plane was about to ditch. The drama followed an initial announcement made in English, telling passengers to return to their seats because of turbulence. But then the crew accidentally played out a recorded emergency landing warning in French as the plane headed south over the Irish Sea. Around 70 French passengers were reported to be "freaked out" on hearing the warning. One English-speaking passenger said: "The French man sleeping next to me woke up and looked very startled. "He then translated what had been said, that the plane was about to make an emergency landing and to await instructions from the pilot. "I got quite alarmed. The woman behind me was crying. All the French totally freaked out." The plane was just 20 minutes into its flight to Paris when the bungled announcement was broadcast. The Irish airline's cabin crew quickly realised their mistake and swiftly apologised in French. An airline spokesman said: "There was a malfunction of the public address system and we apologise to our passengers." "This sort of thing happens very rarely." Link: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20090914/twl-plane-crash-warning-boob-panics-pass-3fd0ae9.html I'm not sure which I found funnier the fact that it was an Irish cabin crew, or that the announcement was in French and thus mainly effected the French passengers. And before anyone mentions it, no I am not a xenophobe and most probably have far more foreign friends than the vast majority of users on here, including Irish and French ones! Anyway, does anyone on here have any funny 'in-flight' stories? (Even if you didn't think they were funny at the time.)

Well said!

Pardew said after Saturday's match that Jaidi would play. I would imagine Papa and Holmes will too. Possible line-up?: ----------------------Bart---------------------------- Pulis--------Jaidi---------Lancashire---Molyneux Thomson---Wotton-----Gillett-----------Holmes ----------------Waigo-----Paterson---------------

I know others disagree but 1-1 is a decent result at the Valley (especially given Charlton had won 6 out of 6 prior to this match).

Alps, You were complaining about the starting line-up, so it was pointed out to you that it was actually a good decision as it had worked in the first half.l That's so f*cking what! And now it is not working in the 2nd half 2 subs have been made (not the ones I would have made admittedly) but still keep complaining if it makes you feel good. I suppose you are about start a Pardew out campaign like you did with Burley? Remind me again of how we have done since he (Burley) left.

Charlton now squandering chances and hit the post. This has got Saints getting a last minute winner all over it. (Pray, Pray, Pray).

Phew, a second disallowed goal for Charlton.
