Me neither. As a kid I was told not to ride two abreast (although we always did when there were no cars around). How times change!

Clearly the roads are dangerous places for all users: cyclists, motorists, lorry drivers, bikers, pedestrians. We all have a responsibility for our own safety and that of others who share the roads. What makes them so dangerous are the idiots who feel like they own the roads and the rest of us are just an inconvenience who get in the way.

The basic point is that we felt he wasn't worth what Feyenoord wanted. I am sure he would have been on better wages with us so instead of feeling insulted perhaps he should just feel frustrated that both clubs could not reach a compromise? I would image more deals fall through than get over the line and this is one that didn't work out. Getting @rsey about it doesn't help matters.

Good point!!!

The only thing that Harry Redknapp cares about is Harry Redknapp. Sadly he will get another job in football but it is good to see some of the media finally sussing him out.

Do you know what wages were offered? Were they "insulting" ?

So not a first team regular then? The thing is he wouldn't be coming here are a regular either, he was offered to the club form what I understand - not someone we have been actively looking at. You would get 3.6 million euros for him but that offer wasn't acceptable and SFC didn't think it was worth going higher. Not sure what the problem is? It would have been insulting if the club had said no thanks he is rubbish. An offer was made that wasnt accepted by Feyenoord. Clubs disagree on valuations all the time. Sometimes they are resolved, sometimes not. Not sure why you are so upset? If you like the player so much you still have him and if he is worth more at some point someone will pay that price.

Awful

Looks like he was having a dig!!!

What I like about this squad is that it is just that - a squad. We have a lot of decent players and are not reliant on just one.

I think Liverpool got Lambert on the cheap but would reserve "shameful" for what they paid for Lovren

Real footage. At least 9 dead. Many survived though!

I rarely beep a cyclist but some of them are all over the road and I will do so as a sign that are cycling dangerously. I appreciate that there are many cyclists who are responsible but there are also those who are a danger to themselves and to other road users. I have been verbally abused by cyclists when I have gone out of my way to make sure I give them plenty of room. Perhaps we should add "lycra rage" to road rage? I used to be a rep in London so spent most of my day on the roads. It scared me the number of cyclists who used to jump red lights.

Is 3.5m euros for someone who is not an established 1st team player really "shameful" ???

This is true. The middle and outside lanes are for overtaking. The speed limit for each lane is the same.

Thanks for that. When I was a kid I was taught not to ride two abreast but appreciate that times change. As you know cyclists (and I do cycle) often wobble and when you get the second one wobbling as you overtake it can be very dangerous. I live in the country and the lanes are full of two abreast cyclists on the weekends. Getting past safely is a nightmare. I am not a boy racer and always look out for cyclists and bikers but some of them do stupid things and if you beep them you get all kinds of cr@p thrown back at you because you happen to be in a car. I don't want to be responsible for knocking anyone off their bikes but cyclists (and bikers) need to be more careful when on the roads. My brother was involved in a fatality with a biker driving into the back of him. It wasn't his fault and he was cleared of any blame but it will haunt him for the rest of his days. No one "owns" the roads but it makes sense if those more vulnerable to more care in what they do. I can tell you I have lost count of the number of cyclists who ignore road signs, especially red lights.

If he hopes we will go back for him in the Summer probably wise not to throw accusations about insulting behaviour around then maybe?

Let down because we wouldn't pay a higher price than we were prepared to pay? He has lost an opportunity to play in the Premier league and earn himself a fortune but if the club has made an offer and Feyenoord turned it down exactly whose fault is that?

If the offer is not acceptable the club says no thank you and says what is acceptable . If the club making the offer does not increase the offer then there is no deal I assume. All the rest is just hot air.
