I would think any club already in the pyramid could have grandfather rights. A club not already in the pyramid in England would probably have to play in England. Rangers due to their liquidation, police investigation, HMRC court case, no football creditor protection would as a newco be unwelcome. It won't happen it would be like turkey's voting for Christmas to let them in. Whatever they could do, the English clubs make the decision not the authorities.

Unless the ticket is bought at the ticket office and a specific seat is requested all seats are allocated. It is not unreserved seating. I was told by the ticket line it was unreserved seating, ordered online and received an allocated reserved seat, so I went into the ticket office and swopped them for my end of row ST seat.

Cardiff, Swansea and Wrexham were in the Football League before FIFA and the last war. It would not happen now. The individual players can do what they like. Rangers won't be accepted by the clubs who would be daft to vote them in. In any event they aren't even a member club of the pyramid. A club would have to drop out or be denied promotion for Rangers to get in the League and would also deny a promotion place and eventually a Premier place to an English club. It won't happen.

The ticket office say that there is no seat numbers for any of the friendlies just the block/s that have been applied for.
-
It won't happen as the FL won't take them. In football Scotland is a separate international entity and wouldn't even join in the olympics for fear of losing that status. Rangers would not be allowed to join the FL and play in Scotland.

Rangers wouldn't be allowed in the Football League. EUFA wouldn't allow them in European competitions, SFA would veto it and English clubs wouldn't be that daft to allow it. The cheating bastards had it good in Scotland but that wasn't enough. They cheated on paying the players and cheated the taxman. They are getting what they deserve. If they aren't getting any help in Scotland why should English clubs sacrifice themselves to allow Rangers to promote themselves through the League.

If some of the players are really peeved at PFC and the settlement is derisory and spread out over years, it could be that they will sit tight and liquidate the company then move as free agents.

The old Duke didn't have any of it though. He cut Martin McGuinness dead even when MM went to talk to him he legged it.

As a matter of fact, the Gaelic sports are played in the Six Counties, the tricolour is the national flag flying and the only anthem used is the Irish "The soldiers song". Leave well alone is the best way.
-
Ireland would be bloody daft to absorb the Six Counties as it would probably lead to a civil war. The protestant majority in the Six Counties would be a massive problem. They would never agree to reunification and it would have to be imposed. Even if there was a referendum in the 32 counties I suspect apart from the die hard Republicans the majority might well vote the same way as in 1923. It is not a problem they would want. The Six Counties would have been a lot smaller if the British government hadn't reneged on the promise of a referendum in 1923 for the border counties to determine whether they would rejoin the Free State.

Why would a non drinker driving in France require a breathalyser. Bureaucratic crap. -
The Sherwin practice next to the library at Lordshill (Sainsbury's car park) always seem to take NH patients. I find them good.

What a complete shambles our ticket office is!!

The TO is inflexible and is not as customer service oriented as it was with David Luker, who often used common sense and often went out of his way to resolve issues. -
I have no objection to people who have put in taking out. I do object to people who have contributed nothing living off benefits. Years ago the child benefit was a tax relief and worked well for the majority who worked and paid tax. One year it was abolished and an allowance paid for each child leading to the existing situation. Change it back.

Don't bother arguing, after all it's their problem

Pulling down with the forearms allows the hands to maintain the club/arm angle until the release point, the right elbow will be close to the body. The hypothetical release point is at hip high then the club releases however because the brain doesn't work like that the brains release point is just below shoulder height, as the club starts to unwind into the ball the arms move on their own back to the address point which coincides with the club/hands/arms impacting the ball.
-
Best 4 now 12. Go to a pro. Keep it simple one swing thought. Release point (returning squared club to adress position at impact). Take away and pull down with forearms not hands.

I've now seen another piece of film that shows the ball over the line but why the official didn't give a goal. Unfortunately when Terry dived in for the clearance the officials head was in front of the goal line, as the ball was cleared as per the photo on here his head was half in front of the line so the line of sight would have shown the post over the ball so the goal wasn't given. Additionally the right post and attached crossbar wasn't completely vertical, ie leaning fractionally backwards which would also bias the line of sight. The official did get it wrong but the decision corrected the officials missed offside so rough justice was done. In my opinion we should join the more enlightened sports such as Rugby, Tennis and Cricket and use available technology to get it right. Bugger the so called delay, review all goals do it properly. How much time do we waste already with the rediculous delaying of free kicks in range of goal until the defence is ready and the ref blows his whistle. In that respect the attacking team should be allowed to take it whenever they like.
-
It's not clear and unless the ball is flat that could be shadow. The official had a clear view and didn't give it which is good enough for me.
-
At 400% zoom it still isn't conclusive unless the left edge of the ball is flat. It was too close to call, looks over but even that photo doesn't prove it. I go with the official. In any event justice was done because the shooter was offside and the linesman didn't flag when he became active.
-
Last night the official was the only person who was in a perfect position to see if the whole of the ball was over the line.and he judged it not completely over the line. The tv pictures were not at the perfect angle and were not absolutely conclusive but it looked over but it is unproven. The Lampard goal/Tottenham v MU goal were well over. I am prepared to accept the official didn't see all of the ball behind the post, consequently didn't give a goal.

Global warming really is happening... (well, duh!)

I am willing to accept HONEST research set out HONESTLY, completely, not selectively, or opinion that is presented as such. I find some of the dishonesty and biased reporting is putting off people like myself who are sceptical about the motives of the scientists. The parts of the world that matter, India, China, Russia, Brazil patently aren't caring. We are a pimple on the earth so why are we bothering, if the real problems including the US aren't bothering. We are damaging our economy by a hysterical adherence to green policies that make no real difference. I think we in the UK should drop it until the real problem is addressed by the real culprits, as our sacrifices are just gesture politics with little or no effect on the alleged global warming.
