I have been told of a town in the North of Austria that has all the BBC channels on its local cable system. Sounds a bit dodgy to me, to be honest. -

I am sure you had other reasons too. I dont get why the BBC are so bloody-minded towards ex-pats either. -

Sorry, but I found it difficult to believe that anyone could be so shallow. If I NEED to something, I buy a DVD from Amazon. -
One thing I would say in Saga's defence... This season, with the new era, he has not had the chance to play since we brought in the likes of Waigo and Antonio, and played Lallana more centrally. He only got the chance to play in the pre-Rovers team of no width and limited creativity. If we want to be really fair to the guy, to let him prove his ability or to let him hang himself, we would judge him in the current line-up

Erm, I though I expressly inidicated that I have it again for the first time since Lawrie Mac was manager...

You picture is blocked by my company server. I assume this is a condom or dildo joke.

Well I do. When the paper if full of stories like this, whether Lilly Allen is wearing stockings or not, "Bugger me, Kerry Katona like a kebab in between her lines of Charlie", Cheryl cole cant sing live despite judging others less fortunate than her for being able to do so and "ooh I just managed to take a snap up the skirt of Denise Welch", I begin to wonder just how much further the UK has to fall in the brain-dead dumbed-down moronic stakes.

Calling Saga "rubbish" is one of the most ridiculous things I have read on here in a while. He may have and attitude/motivation problem, but "rubbish" he aint. Its a real shame it hasnt worked out, he could have been a force-to-be-reckoned-with at this level if only he could have applied himself to the task at hand.

What arrogant hubris. As one of those who this comment is probably directed at, how dare you judge whether my comments are my real opinion or not. I agree completely. I have a warm fuzzy feeling growing with each passing game, but I dont see why that prevents me from hoping the club is taking measures to maintain that progress, such as getting a signature from Trotman.

I personally dont care if the rules are tight, or its completely open season and everyone is fair game, so long as the rules are applied consistently, and certain individuals dont appear to be legitimate targets with cross-hairs painted on their forehead and who get banned immediately they retaliate. I've been banned a couple of times for abuse and what I regard as pretty low-level name calling, however yesterday someone made some grotesque homophobic comments worthy of the equivalent of a "straight red" yet got away with a warning. I would not want to spend my spare time sorting petty squabbles out amongst the rabble that come on here, so I respect the mods for the difficult job they do. Balance, fairness and objectivity must be fairly difficult on here sometimes.

And thus endeth the sermon for today...

Its in his power to either fight for his place in training or fight for a move in training and then in matches. He seems happy to run the clock down on his contract and do neither. He's here for cover only now.

I tried a proxy yesterday to watch the BBC highlights. It no longer tells me I am not in the UK, and I see the UK version of the BBC website, but it now tells me JavaScript is not enabled when it is in reality. -
Close all threads with Lowe in the tile! (except this)

Dont you mean therapeutic ? -
Erm, is that not logical ? Some of the "plastics" may describe those you see as "loyal and faithful" as complete dimwits for happily accepting anything and everthing the club has served up over the past 5 years. Besides, I am certain the heirarchy at SFC does not agree with you and Denzil; the more bums-on-seats, the more they can convince our beloved owner to invest in the team.

Who is moaning about him ? SOGGY ? Bottom line is, human nature seeks something to moan about. Fact is, we are doing well currently, so going back to old tried-and-tested moan subjects seems fairly in-line with human nature. -
They've got a "10 Worst Sporting Cheats" thing going today, and they've put MLTs throw-in scam in there alongside the likes of Maradona, Tayna Harding and Rivaldo. FFS, he even managed to c*ck it up. Idiots.

Blimey, not even heard about this. So, me mum can pop into Argos, buy a Freesat receiver, fly it over here and I can watch UK TV if I re/align my dish from Astra1 to Astra2. That easy ? -
In the same way as England is near Scotland, yes.

Dont your sat/cable providers in Canada have some sort of overseas rights ? -
I rest my case. Do us all a favour and stop reading my opinion. You accuse me of liking a good moan, what are you doing ? You deliberately seek my opinion out to moan about. Anyway, I too am extremely bored of this. I leave the last word to you.
-
So, you cannot handle my opinion. Game, set, match...

Is it really OK 24 hrs a day in all weather conditions ? -
Seeing as we've just won back-to-back away games and are in some good form, I am confident that attendance at the next home game will be well over 20K. As for the washing-my-hair comment, is that necessary ? I go when I am over, at every opportunity, FFS.

Fine. Are we done now ? A question. How will you stop yourself flying off the handle at an opinion less-than-gushing-positivity next Saturday/Sunday ?
