They are only impossible to comply with if HMRC (and other creditors who reject the CVA proposal) makes up more than 25% of the creditors. Given that Norwich Union and Barclays account for £20-25m between them, I can't imagine that applies in this case. Luton only lost 20 points because of the failure to agree a CVA. 10 of the 30 points were a punishment for various dodgy agent-related payment misdemeanours. Totally agree.

He's hardly likely to back the idea of *not* building a third runway, though, is he?

There is one at the bottom of the page, but I will get one put in at the top as well when I get a chance.

Only going by what I saw from Block 5 - looked like he basically put as much of his body in the way as possible and it ricocheted off his shoulder.

My match report is now on the main site. A good win, but let's not get carried away yet. Remember what happened last time we did that? And just as a coincidence, our next game is on Sky...

She has a very strange name

Interesting you should mention Marc Jackson... a Bournemouth-supporting mate of mine sent me this link, which shows he's at least persistent and still very much "active"... http://www.bournemouth.vitalfootball.co.uk/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=11526&start=1 The "plans" by andysith are probably the highlight

He was certainly brought up there, although given that he's been playing for Barnsley for 3 years, I'd expect he probably moved a bit closer to "work"

I'm not convinced. I was under the impression he felt as though we treated him pretty poorly and didn't give him any sort of chance to prove himself.

I *think* that because you'd be putting £2 on the two separate bets, the odds would actually be 250/2, and therefore 125/1. I may be completely wrong though... :smt048

Own goals are simply disregarded as far as scorecasts and first goalscorer bets are concerned. If the game ends 1-0, the winner on a first goalscorer bet would be "No goalscorer". If there are more goals after the own goal, the person who scored the next goal would be classed as the first goalscorer. Individually, I suspect a 2-0 away win on Saturday would have been somewhere around the 10/1 mark, with Surman at 25/1 for the first goal. Multiply the two odds together and you get 125.

It didn't look like McGoldrick was playing up front at any stage of the game, to be honest.

That suggests to me that more than one person put a tenner on at 125/1...

Coventry is generally a rubbish away day, sadly. The stewards there are a bunch of ****s. The pub that crosses as an Indian restaurant is alright, the food was pretty good last season, but apart from that there's not really a lot of choice as most of the pubs are home-only.

If that is the case, and I've no reason to believe or disbelieve it, it's a totally reasonable approach, IMO. Why get everyone's hopes up by going back into a bid situation if it's only going to turn out that they've not actually got the money?

Yes, to which I believe they received a private written reply, and also invitations to meetings with representatives of SISU.

I've never said that people haven't had a look, but then I've often walked past the window of various shops thinking I'd like to buy something in there but then never bothered to go back. There has still only ever been one officially recorded "offer", the one from SISU. The silence from Crouch, Lowe and Wilde as to why that deal never progressed has been deafening.

To be honest, the first goal should count as a Saints goal from open play. McGoldrick did all the hard work and his cross/shot across the face of goal would either have gone in on its own anyway or would have been converted by Surman (I think) who was rushing in on it at the far post.

Lucky in the sense that the Doncaster defender decided to put in a stupid challenge even though Lallana wasn't going anywhere, definite foul though.

I thought he and Lancashire in particular played very well, particularly second half. We perhaps defended a bit too high up the pitch in the first half and got caught with a couple of long balls over the top, but they didn't have much to do in the second half at all.

Also the near-zero purchase price of ITFC might have had something to do with it.

Wotton was at the back alongside Olly Lancashire, and moved into midfield when Perry came on for Schneiderlin.

Not sure where the "dodgy" penalty claims have come from - having been at the game, it was as clear cut as you could get, and I don't remember any of the Doncaster players complaining. In fact, the same goes for the second one, for which the defender should have been sent off. First half was pretty even, they perhaps shaded it on chances, but second half we were comfortably the better side - I don't remember Davis making a difficult save after the break.
