I haven't seen any of the video but I knew about Kony and the LRA way before the video came about. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lords_Resistance_Army One of the most wanted men of the world, one of the most brutal and despicable Christian Militants around who claims to receive messages from God. TBH any way that awareness can be raised is a good thing. Here are 2 examples of what they've almost certainly been responsible for, with all the disturbing details http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Christmas_massacres http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makombo_massacre

Messi is only 8 goals away from becoming Barcelona's all time top scorer. And he's 24.

make that 6-0 after 61 mins. Leverkusen's keeper is all over the place.

Anyone watching this on ITV1? It's turning into a massacre. 5-0 after 58 mins Messi has 4 of them (2 of them audacious chips) and they brought on a young lad called Tello and he scored inside the 1st minute of his Champions league with his first touch. Absolute delight to watch, I think they gave Iniesta and Xavi a rest at 3-0

That's why people can't take you seriously

Yep, The simple fact is the FL have absolutely no control over the club's financial situation and the way they are run, and their rules are long since set out in stone. Any legal challenge would get shot down in flames

I do sympathize but in this case there's absolutely sod all the police can do. Even if they had the resources to forensically investigate every incident of criminal damage that happens on their patch (and in these times some regional divisions barely have the resources to investigate any crimes at all), and they got a fingerprint match (which is far from guaranteed) as pointed out earlier any half decent lawyer would shoot it down in flames. Just think, if you wanted to investigate this yourself and had the rare fortune of getting a fingerprint match where the hell would you start looking for the culprit? I'd put the chances of finding at his 'home address' at less than 10%. That's before even attempting to prove he did it which is impossible. Hence why the police won't give it any time After retiring from the force I witnessed a hit and run in which a woman was hospitalized. Unfortunately I was too far away to see anything other than the colour of the car (which was blue),let alone the reg or even the make. I was the only witness and there was no CCTC nearby. The coppers aren't going to put extra patrol cars round the local area pulling in every blue car and investigating it for damage. . In other words they either couldn't conclusively identify or find the driver after initial investigations, and as no physical injury was suffered they don't have an obligation to investigate it any further. I do sympathize with people having their cars or any other property damaged, but until you've walked a mile in a copper's shoes and have got a pile of several hundred of such incidents on a desk in front of you. . . Especially when with the majority you've got next to nothing to go on, further hindered by the heap of paperwork to be completed for each incident and a tight budget that's being used to investigate more serious crimes. . .etc. etc. The police simply don't have the money, manpower or resources to investigate every crime that everyone wants investigating. If the police had unlimited money they still wouldn't be able to solve all crimes, with hardly enough money to get by I'm afraid they have to be very picky about what they investigate in any detail, subject to evidence. I sympathize with anyone who is a victim of crime but I also have a lot of sympathy for the coppers doing the spade-work trying to do an impossible job in these times. Frankly I'm glad I got out the force when I did.

I remember Gordon Brown saying something like "I take full responsibility for this, which is why the person responsible got the sack"

One guy who I think deserves to be on there that I haven't seen mentioned is Ben Sahar, the former Chelsea youngster. He went on loan to Pompey for 6 months in 2008 and didn't make a single appearance

who gives a damn. It'll still be the same old shower

As well as the above examples I feel you'd find a trip to Uganda rather enlightening. . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord%27s_Resistance_Army This reminds of question time the other night and something David Starkey said. He may be a **** but he does speak a lot of sense at times. As a whole, countries or sizable populations do not like being "liberated". People want different things and will engage in some sort of conflict to pursue their individual wants. Getting rid of a brutal dictator does not make the people "free" or "liberated". The world simply doesn't work like that.

I notice Coventry have been hit by a transfer embargo

or Allaeddine Yahia

There you go, all you have to do is poke and he comes out from under the bridge

They got to the SF of the Asian Cup and then completely capitulated against the Aussies and lost 6-0. No prizes for guessing who got Japan's winning goal against Australia in the final

and with all the negative publicity that's gone along with their previous owners, you have to wonder if anyone with any inhonourable intentions will touch them with a brgepole

One day, they might get the point.

To put it into context, that is more than Barcelona paid for David Villa

or maybe they know something we don't

TBH I'm surprised dune has missed his cue with this one

Is Lambert good enough for this league?

I think we'll have to hold a TSF Pompey takeover thread annual awards once every so often Nominees for funniest poster - Rallyboy, holepuncture Nominees for best post - anothersaintinsouthsea's selection of Corp Ho quotes, half of Rallyboy's summaries of events over a 24 hour period Nominees for Worst troll - oh hang on there's only one nominee for that etc. etc.

Is this the start of some sanity towards the transfer policy, and the start of them loaning out their big earners and getting in kids?

My favourite is the image with the chair

Interesting comments from Birch "The Football League will not let us bring any players in and they don't want us to have a competitive advantage when we still owe clubs money. "If we have less than 14 fit players then they will allow us to bring someone in."
