Admin, close this before damage is done.

Does nothing for me, I'm afraid.

In fairness, if l ever write and perform a song you won't have the words to describe its awfulness.

Was it not a (single one) happy hibbee namely Mr Sturgeon or whatever his name is?

Coop's post # 8 above: "It was honestly nothing you would not see at any corner kick."

Right enough you see that and much worse. The game I played allowed shoulder charges and use of body weight in a challenge but independent use of the arms was a foul. Shirt tugging and flapping of wings were deemed not to be part of a man's game.

Doubt if there's any conspiracy here. He maybe thought there would be a fifty + points deduction leading to relegation. It's called gambling.

In the good old days the Court would not deal with the recovery of gambling debts.

And every other club.

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.

I'm not keen on strict liability. It suits lazy governments, the police and, dare I say it, referee-minded folk.

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.

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.

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.

Albert Franks, Stan Anderson and Jorn Sorensen.

London big guys through.

'Pool struggle to a home draw.

On the telly this lunchtime looking fit enough to put on the jersey again. Just the player we need.

"Good win for Derby at West Brom. "

Speak for yourself. But yes.

North End lose late to Gunners 1 - 2.

Wolves beat Stoke away 2 - 0.

Sublime City performance. Beat the Hammers 5 - 0 at the London Stadium.

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.

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.

The french have a bad name for surrendering. They have won more wars in recent history than any other nation.

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.

Nope. Dullest was England.

That was a jest. Dullest was West Germany when they robbed Hungary.

"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.

But finished?

I agree, Wb, but it's not really a Gersnet post.
