To think some of you who are involved in kids football have problems vociferous parents.

Terribly sad news, I can't even start to imagine what it's like to lose a child. Condolences to all involved. I understand the sentiments behind the OP's question, and the answer is no. A tragedy could strike at any time, when Johnny or Jane cross the road to school, or go out and climb trees with their mates, I read today that a girl died after being hit with a rugby ball, such tragic events are a fact of life. If you start letting things like this worry you every time your kids are out of sight, you will soon end up in the mad-house.

I'd forgotten that! Yes they did. It's always a nice touch to play a song about ***king on someones debut . Great song though.

It's only a dual carriageway from Bitterne.

That's gonna smart.

Without in any way suggesting that "she had it coming", because anyone should be able to walk any where without being attacked, but why would anybody, let alone a woman on her own choose to walk down a dark alley, especially when there is a well lit main road 10 yards further away, that will take her to the same destination.

Not at all, it's my opinion, on a purely subjective basis, you don't have to like, or agree with it.

Not a great game, but we won it fairly comfortably. I think we will see more games like this for the remainder of the season, less flair & more of a workman like performance. What stood out for me today was neither of the fullbacks were making the over-lapping runs today, there were several times in the first half, when Guly had the ball & he was expecting Richardson to be bombing past, only to look up & find he hadn't moved, leaving Guly isolated, or needing to play a square ball inside, or back to the centre-backs.

Because he was crap today.

Guly suffers from the ability to play in more than one position, he is possibly a jack of all trades, today he played left-mid, then swapped to right-mid for part of the first half, he then played in the hole, then up front, then back in the hole. He played ok in all the positions asked, not outstanding, but ok. He wasn't our worst player today, I though RL was pretty poor, but we can't say that, because he is Rickie. Unfortunately, it would seem that the knuckle draggers in our fan base always need a whipping boy, we've had a few in our time, it seems tha Guly is that person for this squad. How often does Lallana run up blind alleys, or dither on the edge of the box, before turning around and playing a ball back to a player, yet you don't get a mass "groan" from the crowd, as you do when Guly does the same thing. Another example, there was a point in the first half when RL had the ball out on the right wing, he had an unmarked player he could pass to about 10yards from him, he chose to put in a speculative cross, there was no-one in the box & he overhit it anyway, it went for a throw on the left, he got a ripple of applause, if it had been Guly the neanderthals would have aploplectic, and hurled abuse at him. Sometimes I'm embarresed by our fans, we would be a poorer team without him.

Does Portsmouth Football Club exist anymore, are they not called Portsmouth Football Club 2010 Ltd? Would this have any affect on restrictions/covenants in the former name?

The Pompey Takeover thread would be on 21000 pages by then.

Funnily enough there is, in 8 weeks time & 33% of the council is up for election. Something fishy maybe?

Colin W@nker is an anagram of Neil Warnock, according to wiki, it was "invented" by Graham Poll. (I really hope that's true).

Yes it is a crime, it's called criminal damage, as I'm sure you're aware any claim made on an insurance policy will almost inevitably result in higher premiums for the claimant (the victim), why should he be out of pocket because some little thug decided he didn't like his wing mirrors. I assume you are joking when you said he shouldn't be parking his car in a car park, and IIRC paying for the pleasure.

Mr H in Bevois Valley, are pretty good, been around for years.

I live near the flight path for the airport & have been lucky enough to see/hear them fly past quite often in the last few years, it really is quite an emotive & humbling feeling.

Made me laugh
