  1. Jason, surely then as this is so easy, why not find a drawer and put each installment in it and forget it is there until you pay in august. The club are not fans savings scheme. I think we are doing a lot of fans a disservice as Im sure most will have shrugged their shoulders and made alternative arrangements.
  2. things are looking up this morning. Perhaps the HMRC have been formulating a plan afterall
  3. Mine alos but the thread that is hanging off the badge annoys me....so I expect they'll keep it on
  4. so to let fans pay by installment, we have to have barcode/swipe machines fitted at a cost of 300k (Grantys figure) it may be 100k who would pay? Oh the fans by higher ticket charges. Then the fans complain at the rip off prices. Surely it is not beyond most if not al to get a credit card.
  5. Not many and the ones I have read not so.You living in the US could not say so.
  6. Cant you remember the days of my supporting Burley Lol Surely the same arguement could be used by both sides. I have been sympathetic for most of my life to Israel but in the last few years I have watched them go against reasonable action, and so I have lost much respect for their 'plight'
  7. If and when the ship entered Israels international waters then they had a right to take the boat over. The Turks i would have thought can easily say what the Israelis are saying, by using the iron bars, that they were defending themselves. If I was on a boat and the Israeli special forces were absailing down i would be in fear of my life and would look to either surrender or defend myself with anything to hand. They did not have kalashnikovs. I dont think Britain can dictate, but it is the world who are up in arms and only the US being an allie is saving them. Defend them if you wish, but IMO on this occasion I think that Israel is totally out of order. Im not a liberal but the situation out there is never going to be rectified by actions like this and it is about time Israel actually became pro-active in getting things sorted. In time as the Lebanon conflict has shown, they will be hard pressed to win battles as their opponents become better equipped. Iran will help quietly and I dearly hope that their nuclear capibility does not become of any note
  8. they have only been listed as a PL club, in no other way could they be counted as so. I did find it amusing that when I saw on Sky the attendance averages that Wigan of the South and Wigan of the North were the bottom 2 clubs in that list.
  9. if countries want to annihilate them , then they should be able to defend themselves. Do not confuse defending with attacking a ship in international waters. The Israelis want peace in their terms only. If they were intent on that they would leave the occupied territories
  10. To me the Israelis are treating the world as Pompey have the footballing world, their rules legal or not they plough their way through, they have the US protecting them and so seem fireproof.It is not right and the settlements that are spreading will only make all the tensions rise. I obviously dont know all the history and each and every case but all my life the Palistians have had a raw deal IMO. Our press has demonised the Arabs (rightly or wrongly)
  11. of course if we had pushed them out of mainland UK into less fruitful areas and also stopped a large amount of their supplies coming in , then I suspect we would understand why they were doing it and do something about it. The IRA thrived due to Noraid and the support of the US
  12. As it is a British company, the oil giants over there will want to wound BP so it can't come back and compete against them again.If you want to gamlbe they fix the leak in the next 2 days then Im sure there will be a bounce but if the leak goes on for another couple of months then look out. Sad that a massive British company that provides us wealth is in this state.
  13. Lumuah, thanks for that, I think alos the Sun and NOTW also did something as well. Appreciate the trouble you took
  14. that was spooky , I just went onto Muppet shiw and the first post i see is from Johnnyfartpants!!!! he maybe back
  15. It is terrible I cant remember the posters name he was from the Liverpool area and posted daily, last I heard he was moving down this way. Not the Liverpool fan but a saints fan. Johhny or something like that
  16. The nuclear deterrent was most effective when the cold war was at its height and did its job. Now? We do need nuclear weapons but there are few areas you can lob 1 without it effecting allies or third parties who may well be armed with them as well. That is why we cant do Irans plants as the cloud could get to China. The US will give the green light to Israel to do them again in time. In 20 years the world will have changed again, China will like India be flexing its muscles and perhaps not just financially, therefore you need ultimate force
  17. Ginge, who call them a terrorist group? Hamas are as far as Im aware fighting for their homelands freedom, when Al Queda approached them they didnt want to know. To a degree i dont want Israel to exist, they are squatters and have no real rights to the area they have imposed themselves on. If they stopped stealing land by building on areas that are not theirs and stopped with their aggression at the Palestinians then Im sure a lot of the rockets would not be launched. The US are their protectors and until they show an even hand and stopped worrying about the Jewish vote the area would have a better chance of settling down. if Syria used US Passports to do a assassination then it would be whipped up andtheir forces would be on the border itching to fight . I only ask for fairness in the teatment. It will be a sore forever unless something radical is done and one thing is for certain Israel will never be able to stop a major atrocity happening if they don't do something.
  18. as with all your other statements you are again wrong. It was widely reported in the press that DR introduced Al Fahim. Nothing to do with only being at a match.One of the Red tops made a big thing of it at the time. Of course then he was delighted to be seen with the man and happy to be seen as introducing him. How is the training ground and the new stadium, the bulldozers had started, also your s/t sales you were in the know last season Lol.
  19. I dont think so, if he is the Forum must only have 5-6 members lol
  20. yep, and a very good 1 as well
  21. It was broken last season. When I purchased 4 cup final tickets each ticket had a booking fee, when it was 1 transaction.
  22. Phil should be wheeled out and given air time so the man in the street can see what is going on.Very interesting
  23. I dont think there has been a need to rush money in. The interest gained is minimal at present so no need to in that respect
  24. I can't see why the club has stopped the installment plan. I have never used it but it must be down to people abusing it in the past.
