Racing Universitaire Algerios (RUA) camus is their keeper
"After many years in which the world has afforded me many experiences, what I know most surely in the long run about morality and obligations, I owe to football.”
Is he related to the philosophical Albert, who was also a keeper?

Need to find something to complain about don't we
Is that a complaint or a straightforward question?
I'm not in the CFS so I don't care. I don't want to stand up either.

Every time I see this topic I instantly think of several Clash cover versions. However - my answer as always is “Heard it through the grapevine” by The Slits. Turn up the bass. Loud.
In that case, give ‘All Along the Watchtower’ by XTC a listen. Holy ****.

Gotta say the safe standing at Spurs was excellent . While that’s state of the art stadia it certainly “ works “ the only negative is that it’s actually so safe you’re a bit spread out capacity wise . Yeah, it’s a bit dull to be honest. Though the first time I experienced it we were being battered ...

If none of the Euro-playing teams were involved, you could bring back replays.

I don't need any conclusive evidence to know that a club like Man City with stupidly rich sand dwellers are bent.
More bent than a game of Snakes and Ladders between Vladimir Putin and Julian Clary.
You certainly covered a few bases there.

Glucosamine, for me, was a gradual build thing. The first 6 months or so I was going to sack it.
I've now been taking it for 30 years and I believe it has saved me from a whole load of grief (including being able to make a living playing the guitar).

Pompey - the COLDEST I've ever been at a football ground
New Years Day? I was still exceedingly drunk and can't remember if I was cold or not. The vague memory I do have is the pitch was frozen solid and we lost 2-0?

ALP, have you been noticing more curlews this year? I'm not sure whether I've been lucky, or if they are doing a little better, because I've heard more calling than last year while out on my local patch. I hope so, because they are on the Red List. Sadly fewer lapwings, though, as per. I'd say they...

By all accounts we did all we could to get him. Hardly a major error.
We didn't do that though, did we? We ended up spending more on inferior replacements.

I once spent ten days in Marseille's Vieux Port waiting for some boat parts and absolutely loved it... Sort of Liverpool but with sunshine, a great city, just watch your pockets/back.
Marseille and Naples are two of my favourite places in Europe - don't always go by the guide books.

Sorry, I just assumed that you thought officials were bent for financial reasons. They may of course be risking their jobs and reputations just for the fun of it.
And a measure of subconscious bias.
