  1. Lol yes sorry.
  2. I suspect only for a short period. The insurance companies will be pushing that all speed data be kept of driving so that if you are speeding and have an accident they can walk away as you are breaking the law
  3. The irony is that if we now leave with a no del, the Eu will demand before we start any trade talks that the 39b and the backstop are agreed before they do. They have held all the aces all along. Whilst in princilpe I understand the remainers fears of staying in, they certainly have done themselvs and our nation in big time. The footfall and traffic through my business had gone through the floor, were not even getting the timewasting ice cream lickers!!!
  4. Had they had a game that day, Im sure he would have played for them
  5. I dont think we were in deep decline when he joined. Chris Nicholls teams played superb football, Nicholls problem was he was not McMenemy and even then if you didnt seem a jolly joking chappy in interviews on TV a section of fans wrote him off. If Nicholl had been manager after Branfoot he would have been a hero, sadly LM success was a poisoned chalice for those tht followed
  6. I agree but it was really difficult to get tickets. I had lots of people who wanted tickets but due to the club being so strict it made it difficult to get some.
  7. Hilarious
  8. Yep they were all Mother Teresa's , playing no part in the problem at all.
  9. At what period are you talking about, initially or when the troubles started again?
  10. Did I say that? No if it is proved to be murder then it is right to be brought to justice. A white hanky has never been a surety that surrender is the motive BTW
  11. It seems that the door for Liverpool to win the CL is well and truly open , although Juve in the semis will be difficult (assuming Tadics Ajax dont go through). Awful draws for the other 3.
  12. Sorry Wes I think he underestimates the fact that the gravy train is far too enjoyable to give up for the civil service and politicians. So we will flop back into the EU. We as a nation will have lost so much credibility and we will forever be weakened as when we are told that we have to ditch the £ etc,we will hardly be able to say 'No we are not, we will leave' It is a shameful and embarrassing chapter in our countries history. Our credibility has been lost and sadly it is the people who think they care most about our nation who are responsible for it. Misleading the man in the street that it would be so easy was dispicable. Most of the people doing the misleading did not know the rules of our departure themselves. It was like getting an American baseball fan to referee a game of football. Taking your passionate defence of leave out of the equation , I did you didnt believe that the terms we had signed up to were so loaded against us before we started.
  13. I knew somebody who was out there in the troubles and he said to me one time that never does a day go by that he doesnt regret pulling the trigger when he had McGuinness in his sights. Army training stopped him from doing so. The bitterness of the servicemen at the time knowing that people like him were doing cowardly crimes but using civilian status to be safe in his world must have been pretty sickening.
  14. If it was murder so be it,but didnt Blair erase all the murders from the other side???? I think this is a generation thing. The people lived at the time and saw the crimes committed to our servicemen may have more sympathy than the 'anything the Brits did was wrong' later generations.
  15. It is bemusing that the people who think they re so patriotic are the same people who are causing/going to cause this nation the most damage since the Luftwaffe.
  16. To be fair, it is only recently that we have started to truly appreciate him again. Would he be given the same role position he has for Saints? If not we know he has struggled in other parts of midfield until now. Southgate has been quite lucky, but he has quite a lot of mistakes in him already as in the semi final he failed to take ff the inneffective Ali Dhia and not put energy on in the midfield to close down Modric. He alsoleft Kane on who was also patently struggling with injury, but took off Sterling who had kept the backline of Croatia deep.
  17. good t see Poch talking to JWP
  18. exactly, going to away games was not the experience it is now. The Fa cup game away at Pompey, they dropped us off at the top of Goldsmith avenue and we were left to wander to the ground, not a sign of a Bobby. It was interesting and as for after the game lol.
  19. years of football violence, the recession took its toll.
  20. Today has the potential to be one of those FFS days
  21. I would have thought turning it 180 degrees down would be by far the best bet
  22. there still will be bad decisions. You watch game and the pundits cant decide. The favourite managers and teams will still get a rub of the green as it is human nature where people favour some more than others and in tight situations that will decide where the decision comes down
  23. I see what you are saying, but it was a relief to a degree that we went toe to toe against a very good side. Yes you are right that we had the same old result, but playing like that does give a bit of extra hope we can push on. Its whether the team can play well in the not so glamorous games. This season is like last season as we need to survive and now have a manager with a plan,
  24. I think you will find that they were happy with their own performance and the great backing by the away support. Whilst we lost suspect you also may have felt that we would lose by at least 2 goals. It was a moral victory and whilst we got zero points, there maybe a togetherness and determination to push on. Time will tell but hopefully we can get the points needed to go up a few places.
