It’s a nonsensical idea. What happens? Does the ‘keeper get to pick the ball up unmolested? Is it a goal kick or a free kick. Is it a corner if the ‘keeper palms it round the post? Football is supposed to be a continuous game. There’s too much time wasting already. I quite like the goalmouth stramash that follows a partly saved penalty.

Well observed, 26th. Mention of Kilmarnock and Dolly caused a peculiar memory to erupt to the front of my brain. I think that at one time long ago, many decades, Kilmarnock had a sheep for a mascot. Anyone with great grannies in Ayrshire to confirm? When Rugby Park was in grass the surface was lauded as the best in Scottish football. The sheep’s legacy perhaps. The ovine may have been good at manuring and trimming but mascot-wise his ghost wasn’t up to much on Sunday. Gordon’s league position calculation method raises an interesting proposition. Who would have been top if Hearts and celtic had lost more games and Rangers had lost fewer?

R4 News told the truth. Kicked out by celtic but taken back to re-offend. Disquiet about how this was allowed to happen.

BG, old chap, define British Nationalist for me because I don’t know exactly what you mean.

Won’t be laughing now.

Gross.

You should know by now, buster, that Bill is not a sniper. Bill is a carpet bomber.

How well I remember that cup final. I was baby watching two miles from Hampden as a result of a rash promise to let my sister and brother in law go to a wedding. In those days radio commentary was the last twenty minutes only. Did Kelly not concede the riot semi-final? I only saw news footage but it was about the worst I’d ever seen inside a park. This weekend I’d like to see some driving forward replacing a bit of the sideways possession.

Outstanding fixtures this weekend Arsenalv Liverpool and Wolves v the Hotspurs. 2-0 Arsenal, 1-3 ‘Spurs. Rest of the card is drab yet again. And while I’m at it, Springboks to trample the Rose at Twickers.

McGrory and Stein didn’t behave like Lennon. McNeil didn’t. Burns didn’t. O’Leary didn’t. Rogers doesn’t. The man unique.

Sheep playing for time already.

Is that Frankie?

Quite like the look of that lineup. As for Don Revie I remember the furore surrounding the deep lying centre forward tactic. The trouble was only Don Revie could play the position.

Don Revie.

True. A legal triumph over the bbc isn’t going to change staff attitudes.

No. It’s more complcated than that. Can a single “beneficiary” (ahem) a under a contract made on its behalf and on behalf of others by an agent enforce a condition of the contract where the agent fails to do so? You’d need a squint at the contract before you could speculate and a bag of money. That’s why you’re right about Club 1872.

The counterpart of “rights” is “obligation”. Is bbc in breach of the contract with the league? Depends on the scope given to the broadcaster to elect which matches are to be covered.

“I’m going to suspect the OP has taken offence.. “ Dont read it that way. I think he’s just showing that not all of our rivals are wholly bad. Hayes did the right thing. See 26th above.

Can’t argue with any of these though the heart defies the head and asserts 0-4 the Wolves. ’Spurs v City has a 3-5 potential.

Just seen it on the telly. Far too soon.

Does your new wireless get the McFlannels, Compo?

There is a difference, though. Israel says don’t mess with us and we’ll leave you alone whereas Holy Church and the servants thereof must strain every sinew to bring about the conversion and redemption of the sinners of the world. I don’t believe there is a Jewish eqivalent of the Society of Jesus.

Put this another way, Barca. You listen to an arguement from a republican making apparently reasonable points about the abolition of the monarchy but nonetheless you profoundly disagree. He ends with a defiant FTQ. Does that not give you the chance to avoid his reasoned arguement by saying you don’t need to engage with someone who resorts to meaningless abuse?

More than one red out, I suspect.

buster, I agree with your line in this discussion 99.9%. I suggest, however, that if Fry concluded an eloquent, persuasive and passionate address eith FTP, he would have diminished his case badly.
