Set the recorder, so the kids can watch a bit of classic comedy.

I didn't realise it was so serious until I read this mornings paper. Lucky bloke. I wish him a speedy & full recovery.

Thats my point though, a goal can be ruled out precisely because of the players body position, as I said, when he is half an inch off-side. In that respect it's no different to rugby.

What a ridiculous comment. The same could be said for football, eg. if the toe of a strikers boot is even just half an inch past the heel of the defender, he is offside, and conversely, how many times have balls crossed the goal line by a small margin, only for the goal to be wrongly disallowed. The only difference is that in RU they use the technology to correctly judge these marginal decisions. In football the powers that be are afraid of technology & leave the refs open to critiscism by not using it.

Saw my Action Man tent, Crossfire & Super Flight deck, amongst that lot. I will be asking my parents why I never had a Lego hovercraft though.

My parents used to take us to watch the Vikings (for the youngsters they an ice hockey team in Soouthampton), I loved it, I don't think we missed a match in about 10 years. I hadn't seen a match since they folded, until about 3 years ago when I took my kids to watch Basingstoke Bison, they really enjoyed it. I'll try & get 3-4 games in a season now. Bloody brilliant sport.

The thread title when viewed on the home page reads: Hampshire cricket close" I thought they'd been wound-up.

Do you get your stuff staight back, or do they keep it for evidence? Last christmas my neighbour was away, on christmas day I saw someone walked into her back garden. I plucked up all my courage & went around, to be confronted by her son who said he was getting his pressies whilst mum was away, so I went back home. Boxing day I had the rozzers at my door saying next door had been robbed & had I seen anything. Turns out her son is/was a junkie & broke in, by the time they got hold of him he'd sold the stuff, nice lad.

I didn't realise this was up for debate. I thought SMS was going to host some matches anyway. Excellent news though, I'll be there.

Southampton Saints RFC already exist, they play at Test Park.

I wouldn't say he's got a nasty side, he's competitive, doesn't shirk out of tackles & I think his will to win can make him a little impetuous at times, but I wouldn't call him nasty.

That was a nice birthday pressy for Iowsaintsfan. I to will be sharing my birthday with a home match, but in the interests of internet security I won't be telling which.

Save your stamp, I'm sure it was reported on the tv that it would be for both games.

I thought the same. It should be announced at the end, although it was nice to actually have the attendance announced for once.

I think he is a Saints fan & originally from the area. I can't remember his name, but it has been posted on here before, he is an actor/entertainer & has a website to promote himself. If I could remember his hame I'd google it.

There were 5 empty seats in the row behind me (in the Chapel/kingsland family corner) & I could see another half-a-dozen or so scattered around.

Comment of the thread for me. It was one of those lol moments that had my colleagues asking what I was reading. That was an immense 3 points for us. Loved it. Mom for me was Chappers, he was every where, I was disappointed/surprised he was subbed, but I guess he was knackered. Honorable mentions must go to Guly, Hoover & Kelvin, who made a couple of cracking saves & some great catches in the last 10 minutes when the pressure was on (and to think some want him "rested").

Probably not a normal occurance, but sadly I think it is not unheard of. I remember seeing photos a few years ago of people walking past the bodies of babies. They were dumped in the street because of the one child per family rule & were considered surplus to requirements.

Marathon for me.

25 correct, out of a possible 24, that is truly awesom Dune, perhaps you should be Queen.

16/24. Looks like I'm on the 'plane out of here, although it will probably take a couple of years for my extradition to be ratified.

I always park at Centurion Business Estate by Northam Bridge, probably 15-20 minutes walk to the Plume, and it's free.

Just the once though. I always amazes me how quickly some players can fall. What is it six years, or so since he was playing in the prem, now he's earning a pittance (presumably) in the Conference South. He's only 29 years old, hardly at the end of his career, yet he's playing semi-pro. I just don't get it?
