Certainly did on Saturday, ordered a white coffee, when the guy was putting the lid on I noticed it was black, not a problem, I just picked up some milk & sugar. When I tasted it I nearly spat it over the poor guy in front of me. The dopey clot had given me Bovril, which by now had the milk & sugar added. :rock: No me as well. :smt054 I've bought a programme at every match I've been to, right back to my first match against Vancouver Whitecaps. The only one I'm missing is MLTs testimonial prog. We were late getting to the stadium & there was a huge queue at the prog seller, so I thought I'd get one once I'd got into the stadium, but they'd sold out.

Will they be ground sharing with us by then

The developers, Warburg Properties, were originally intending to build a small supermarket (Co-op were lined up to take it on), with offices above & 2 stories (I think) of flats above that. This was going to be on the site between The Chantry Hall & Central Hall (take a look on Google Earth its shows the site cleared with Chantry Hall still there). There was a lot of problems with consultants not being paid and architectural issues and the plug was pulled. For the first time ever I am ITK. Now my own personal opinion, based on nothing at all, is that the Ice Rink is a smoke screen. I think the developers are hoping & expecting that it will never to get planning permission, after all it's not the best place for it. They will then have the opportunity to say ‘well we tried’ and press ahead with building flats on, what is now a far larger and more accessible site, giving a better & quicker return for their money. I used to watch The Vikings play ice-hockey on saturday nights and I hope this goes through.

Yeah, I know, I never said anything different. I was merely reinforcing your post by providing some evidence, which you have kindly copied & pasted into this post. HTH

Correct, here are the rules from 2006/2007, I assume they haven't changed significantly: http://www.football-league.co.uk/staticFiles/56/91/0,,10794~37206,00.pdf Clause 14.4 is the relevant one. So no 'double' goals, no extra time but straight to penalties. That should make things exciting.

Sad news indeed. Always enjoyed his commentries, as a youngster who started watching & playing in the early 80's, I always found them informative and helpful for a young lad learning the game. RIP Bill McClaren - They'll not be dancing on the streets of Harwick tonight

From wiki (therfore it must be true): The name Romsey is believed to have originated from the term Rūm's Eg, meaning "Rūm's area surrounded by marsh". Rūm is probably an abbreviated form of a personal name, like Rūmwald (glorious leader). I believe Romsey has always been spelled with an 'o' but pronounced 'Rumsey'. I'm led to believe that the pronounciation was changed, like so many rural communities, when the railway timetables were standardised, this may have been part of the Railawys Act of 1921, but I could be wrong on that.

I believe Inspector Wexford was also filmed in Romsey. About 10 years ago myself and some colleagues saw Jimmy Carter, (former American President) drinking in The Mill at Dunbridge after fishing The Test. He had a few FBI guys with him. Carter was in his fishing gear, the rest in suits & sunnys - they almost blended in Richard Digence & Chris Tarrant also fish locally & I believe Digence lives around here somewhere. I've worked in Michelmersh for 12 years.

Spot on. I think we should be happy just to be here still. It is a hell of a job to reach the play-offs with a -10 start. Once our survival was gauranteed I've always been of the opinion that we were looking at a mid-table finish. Then next season get promoted as champions. I would much rather we got promoted as champs, giving us some rare silverware, rather than finishing 6th and sneaking into the Championship through the back door. Personally I've never been a fan of the play-off. IMHO the 3 best teams in the league should be promoted. (Thats not to say I wouldn't be happy if we got promoted that way - hypocritical - yes I know). A day out in the JPT final will be a bonus, but I can't see us turning over Leeds just yet.

I think that you may be wrong there, so many people don't give a sh!t now, this guy will probably think on it as a badge of honour that he has killed, and will be boasting to his equally gutless mates. So many of the underclass smirk their way through their trials now and seem proud of what they have done.

I played against David Pucket (remember him?) about 5 or 6 years ago. I think he was in a Southampton Institute staff team, or something like that. He was playing in midfield. Now bearing in mind he was 40ish and a long time 'ex-pro', and never a 'great' pro-footballer at that, he completely ran the midfield. However we did win the match, but that was more to do with the inability of his team mates, mind you DP did put one past me.:cool: I don't think any Saturday/Sunday parks players would get much of a look-in in a L2 match let alone the prem, no matter how good (deluded) they think they are.

Your post wasn't there when I started typing mine, so how come your post is timed at 12:52 & mine at 12:57. It didn't take me 5 minutes to type it. This has made look like an incompetant fool :mad:

"I think Poopey will be in the prem for 3 seasons: autumn, winter & spring" ie just one football season. HTH

Presumably if the are wound up mid-season, all points that were won against them would be removed from the winning teams totals. I think thats what used to happen in the saturday/Sunday afternoon leagues I played in. As for cup competitons, dunno, does the team they are due to play get a bye, or does the team the knocked-ou in the previous round, get reinstated. Mind you by 10pm tonight this might be irrelevant.

Or get off their chavvy ars*s and walk to school & speak to little Courtney or Tylers teacher to find out if the little brats had turned up recently. Mind you thats assuming the teachers managed to 'struggle' through the snow. Sweeping generalisations, but so what.

Nick Holmes hollering “f**king hell Stevie” at Steve Moran when he sliced a clearance into touch. Whilst this is not particularly funny in its own right, Holmes was in the 6 yard box, at the Milton Rd end, and Moran (?) was somewhere in midfield, but it was one of those moments when the entire crowd had gone quite, so it was heard in all its glory. Well, it’s was funny when you’re 13

Did the first crew really not have a **** - sorry disk - cutter, or did they think they'd give their mates from St Marys a laugh as well. On another more serious note, does it really take 8 blokes to hold a diskcutter, surely once the second crew (presumably 2 of 'em) arrived the original crew could have been er..... relieved.

I am familiar with Shank's pony, it's not a phrase I use, but my father does. If you google you get this: http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/shanks-mare.html As for Wills Mum, I'd never heard of this 'till I met the future Mrs Geezer, apparently it's quite common in Lordshill. From the same website: http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/42/messages/1073.html I tend to use the phrase "It looks a bit vegetably, out there". :smt102

For me it has to be Joe Jordan not realising he had shoulder charged the oppositions winger (Imre Varadi I think), over the low wall into the crowd in the old East Stand, glancing around and looking bemused that there was no longer anyone there. He the went over to the crowd and looked down at Varadi(?), turned back to run back onto the pitch, with a huge (toothless) grin on his face, and clenching his fist in celebtarion.

Be careful driving today, the conditions are horrendous and I’ve just come off the road and hit a Portsmouth fan. It took me 10 minutes, 2 fields and a golf course, but I got the f***er in the end. It then took the AA 4 hours to separate my car from the wreckage.

According to the Ikea delivery tracking service it was 6" deep in South Yorks an hour ago. I'd better get the sledge and the long-johns out - \\:D/

Give them each a kid, or give the kid a ball :confused: (mind you I think he's got a shirt so that should be enough freebies)

Has a date been set yet? I thought it was week commencing 18 Jan.

Bloody Hell LA77, are you on the blob?
