  1. @RikElfrink: I have figured out how high the bid of #Lens was at #Southampton. @RikElfrink: #Southampton on the bid #Lens of PSV did was 6 million. Later around eleven more on ed.nl
  2. The film was ruined by the fact that I had read the book first, much the same for most Stephen King big screen adaptations, the books are much, much better. Except for The Green Mile which was practically a word perfect adaptation of his book.
  3. Oh Gods, I watched that not expecting a horror, I had bad dreams *THAT* night Original Salem's Lot, brilliant 30 Days of Night Devil (Never get in a lift again!!) The Evil Dead trilogy Original Fright Night (You're sooo cruel Brewster) Original Nightmare on Elm Street Forget Saw, Hostel, Final Destination etc, they're all gore for gore's sake....
  4. Come on you ****ing Legends??
  5. Nice editing And I did think that after I hit the post button but hey ho
  6. You don't even have to Bark with Bankleys (and why would any sans Saints' fan given there role in our admin) just use their ATMs
  7. Yes, I'm sure I read that somewhere and I'm sure it was mentioned when we went into Admin
  8. Not really true, because we got promoted within 5 years of admin it triggered a clause that means we now owe Aviva a sizeable wedge... Yes, because we'd been in SMS for a little while so had paid off some of the mortgage, £32m was what was left when we were adminsised!!!
  9. Blackburn get £3m to take him, that's a fair deal I guess!!!
  10. Well, we are a bit short on 'keepers
  11. I've corrected it to better reflect what he meant, I think.
  12. So what the F**k is Sauerkraut if it ain't a vegetable, a pickled one fair enough, but it's still a vegetable. And what about chips, they're vegetable too..... An how dare you diss Maggie, the best leader this country has ever had!!
  13. Why they couldn't have just said "prior to the end of the season during which he turns 21" in the first place is beyond me??
  14. Not according the the Premier League website he isn't In fact Jason Puncheon is our only "home grown" player..... EDIT Now that can't be right, anyway I have just found this on the same site. Now the bit in brackets is important and would suggest that Morgan IS home grown!
  15. I think this is where people are getting hung up. They do not want to *REVIEW* goals, they want technology that will alert the ref *IF* the ball crosses the goal line, no breaks in play, if the ball crosses the line the ref blows his whistle, if it doesn't they carry on (unless there's a foul or whatever).
  16. Methinks your maths is a little out, he was 21 at the start of the 2010 season. The rule clearly states 3 seasons or 36 months *BEFORE* his 21st birthday. On his 21st birthday he would have done 2.4 seasons/29 months!!
  17. Don't think Morgan qualifies. Morgan would have been 21 in November 2010 (DOB 8/11/1989, feck me I was 21 then!!), he signed for us in June 2008, before that he played in France so, using the above, he doesn't qualify as a home-grown player!
  18. No, you're reading too much into what I didn't say. You can't review ALL throw ins, corners etc as that would just lead to much stop start in a game. In fact that used to happen in American Football, they used to review *EVERYTHING* leading to games lasting 4 hours and more. So now the head coach has 3(?) challenges he can make during a match and only for a set of pre-defined allowable calls. If the Coach's challenge is upheld all well and good, if it's not they lose a time-out (Stops them using a challenge for some other nefarious means.) Not now with LBW's, benefit of the doubt goes both ways, that is if the ball's in the "grey area" for hitting the stumps then the Umpire's original call/judgement stands! In fact teams can decide, pre a series, if they want to use HotSpot for LBW's or not (the BCCI don't trust it so won't condone it's use). So, if you insist that calls (or non-calls) can be reviews then let the Managers decide what to review or not, a la American Football, and let them be penalised somehow if they decided to challenge a call that is upheld (ie instead of drop ball it's a free-kick to the opposition!!) Technology can be used in Cricket because it is very much stop-start and the reviewing doesn't get in the way of the flow of the game. The same cannot be said for Football.
  19. Gosh, if they start reviewing *ALL* goals and the build up to them then there will be very, very few goals given. How many will be ruled out because the ref/ref's asst missed the keeper being blocked, a hand on the defenders shoulder, a slight nudge in the defenders back etc. etc. etc. etc. When they first introduced video reviews in Rugby League they could review back all of the set of 6 that led up to the try *IF* the ref thought he had missed something. This was considered ridiculous by some so all they can do now is review the last play of the ball. They can't review for forward passes because that is too subjective! What I'm trying to say is that a decision has to be made about what is subjective and what isn't. Offsides aren't subjective, fouls can be so don't review fouls....
  20. And can you imagine how stop-start the game would become. "Ref he pulled my shirt in the box, it's a penalty" "OK son we'll send it upstairs" 3 minutes later...... An extreme example but you see what I mean! Sent from my HTC VLE_U using Tapatalk 2
  21. White post, white ball, white socks! Easy to see from the angle the camera is at but at the 5th Official's level it would have all blended in. Quite easy to see why it wasn't given.
  22. It's alright for the bloke at the back, he got an acting job on Corrie and could afford to throw away his season ticket!!
  23. Bit late but what the hell [video=youtube_share;T3rWqm0jGR4]
  24. His appeal to the ECHR was based on the fact that he believed he would be tortured in the US prison system. I can't see how the ECHR could have upheld his appeal without implying that the US indulged in torture!
  25. One?? IIRC there was one fit one (no not *THAT* fit the proper fit) and the rest were tubby!
