  1. In the good old days the Court would not deal with the recovery of gambling debts.
  2. Expulsion from a league governed by the rules of organisation A and admission to another of three leagues governed by the rules of organisation B is not relegation notwithstanding rules of both organisations to permit the transfer of clubs between the leagues depending on certain sporting outcomes. I hope he's not on legal aid for this.
  3. I'm not keen on strict liability. It suits lazy governments, the police and, dare I say it, referee-minded folk.
  4. I respectfully suggest that the learned judges are mistaken in their interpretation of the lyrics which do not give an instruction to listeners to go home but ask the question why they don't. The fact that the famine immigrants were mostly Irish is incidental. There would have been some returning Scottish and English emigres. Would it be legal to shout "Go home ya celts". I'll be expecting a heavy knock on the door at 3 am tomorrow.
  5. There's the double-barrelled guy who went from the D'ited to celtic but I know what you mean. It's rare and certainly no real double-barrelled toff.
  6. Fourth Round draw not very exciting but I like the thought of Derby v Leicester and Liverpool v Wolves if the Argyle don't win the replay.
  7. Albert Franks, Stan Anderson and Jorn Sorensen.
  8. London big guys through. 'Pool struggle to a home draw.
  9. On the telly this lunchtime looking fit enough to put on the jersey again. Just the player we need.
  10. "Good win for Derby at West Brom. " Speak for yourself. But yes.
  11. North End lose late to Gunners 1 - 2. Wolves beat Stoke away 2 - 0.
  12. Sublime City performance. Beat the Hammers 5 - 0 at the London Stadium.
  13. The role of the French in Brigade strength was to protect the left flank of the operation which, with US participation, they performed perfectly. A similar function was carried out in the second Gulf War by elements of the Australian SAS.
  14. In Desert Storm Schwarzkopf sent the French to the furthest west of the empty desert so that they couldn't get into trouble themselves nor hinder the main assault.
  15. How recent is the early 1800s? They had a decent spell in Europe of fifteen years or so, lost the final in 1812 and lost the replay in 1815.
  16. Nope. Dullest was England. That was a jest. Dullest was West Germany when they robbed Hungary.
  17. "Most remembered captain"? You young whippersnappers. I remember Jock Shaw, George Young, Eric Caldow, Bobby Shearer, John Greig, Richard Gough and even Amo and of course SDW before I remember Ferguson as captain. Helluva good player, though, before the back injury ruined his turning circle.
  18. I agree, Wb, but it's not really a Gersnet post.
  19. In the modern game Baxter would be stifled by close marking and thunderous tackles from the back-up defender. Ah well. They did try that but Baxter always had room to play in because of his own ability to find it but also because the close markers kept losing him and the follow up guys didn't know where he'd gone. Note also from the clip above his anticipation to,intercept and his ability to pass accurately without breaking stride and without looking in the direction of the pass.
  20. A pudding well and truly over-egged.
  21. Unpleasant reading for us but correct in fact and sound in strategy.
  22. Did Rodgers wear a black armband on Saturday?
