Dont normally read the guardian but this article does make sense of the truobled Barton

I used to read The Guardian but that article tells me I'm right not to read it these days.

Wasn’t it banned because of old fashioned attitudes towards women, the game wasn’t suitable for them was the reason given? There is speculation it was due to envy at the crowds attending some of their games and the inability of the fa to control the money generated by it It wasn't actually banned b...

O Rose, thou art sick:
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm,

Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy;
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.

William Blake

Worm and storm don't rhyme, at least not these days.

As Tony says, posters on here can control this abuse themselves by:

1. Not being abusive.
2. Not responding to abusers.
3. Reporting abuse.

It's not difficult at all.

Then you'd get some pretty useless results. Why would any half-decent lawyer want to waste their time with an arrangement like that?

More profit in suing the club, I would think. The police say that detention will follow his hospital treatment, and I don't think it's a good idea to get on the wrong side of the law/the police in Turkey. :shock: I noticed that the club statement made no mention of him being instantly sacked and ba...

The thing about pandemics, is that they come again and again.

Oh. When will the next one be? Wasn't the last big one in 1918 (if you exclude AIDS)?

Not strange at all. It’s my view of him. His goals masked what was a very average player at best.

He was just someone we bought that was completely different to what we are used to buying. That's what attracted people.

I would hope that people who knew what they were doing, would be employed if such a crisis arose. You know like experts in their field, not a bunch of unqualified MP’s. You don't seem to understand how the system works. MPs aren't experts and they are not supposed to be. They are, hopefully, wise p...

I agree we have enough wingers although I would have been tempted to take Townsend on a free transfer with his experience in the premier league. His knowledge to a younger group in the dressing room could also have been invaluable But surely that applies to Redmond too. We also have Jay, Roberts, B...

Taylor was for time wasting at a free kick around the centre circle.

He was all set to take it then walked away for Trafford to take it

We had a similar incident at Forest involving Taylor and Trafford only this time Trafford was booked. Consistency!

Virgin Media told me that they have deals every so often with a limited number of uptakes. Once the number is reached the deal closes. Whether this is true or not I don't know but that is what their complaints department told me. Therefore, they said, sign up for notification of these deals. I had a...

I've just been on the phone to the 'thinking of leaving us' department (their call centre seems to be located in Porto, Portugal, so they said). The summary is that if I do nothing after my contract ends I get a cheaper deal (for TV, Landline and M125 Broadband - £44.25) then if I arranged a new con...

They need to fit a sensor to each seat to see which has a backside on it (this may not work in the CFS). I've given up trying to get hold of tickets as I can't get 4 together.... however on matchday there's plenty of empty seats which is annoying.

Bit of a cheek.

I'm currently with Virgin Media and am coming to the end of my contract. All I want now is Broadband, their M125 service (132MB).

I'm not sure all would adapt. The Bobby Smith type centre forward is no longer used and therefore the centre halves to counter them won't be needed either.

Anybody else appalled by the "to be" part of it all? Why and how had it been announced that he is "to be" sacked? It's downright disgraceful treatment.

Try looking at the first 1 again Vitinho pushes him into O’Shea still not a good challenge but not as bad as people make out in my opinion. Agreed.

Nottingham Forest vs Forest Green!

Well, if Forest Green's player was eligible when they beat Scarborough, and they then beat Blackpool.

Hipper

When Newcastle won 8-0 at Sheffield United this season they had eight different goalscorers.

Hipper

Based on what I've seen it's been legal for a while. So has grappling at corners (ask Foster after the Forest game), and pushes in the back, particularly if someone has a free header or shot on goal.

Hipper

I'm feeling quite positive. This result is proof of what some have been saying on here - we'll walk The Championship' next season.

I was at that game but don't remember any of it except the score and a pre match incident. I was walking towards the ground with Dave Burnley, both wearing scarves round our necks as was the fashion. A horde of Forest fans came across the road towards us. 'Gis your scarf mate' and just took them and...

I'm just frustrated with that minority, I'm still excited about where this club is heading.

It's good to have a vision of where we are trying to get to. I like it.

Where are the club heading? And what is the vision?

When Bing Crosby died Bob Hope, who apparently sometimes joked about Crosby's meanness with money, said that Bing knew he was going soon as he'd seen him go into a shop and buying an asbestos suitcase.

Many reasons to stick with Kompany, but for me he has changed and become stubborn, and lets be fair he is starting to look totally out of his depths.

It occurred to me that these FFP rules are not meant for moneyed clubs - certainly not the likes of City and Chelsea - but rather clubs like us who haven't a hope of competing with them but may be tempted, leading to possible financial disaster.

In the Bob Lord era there was a fad for having concerts at football grounds, often with big name pop stars. Our chairman decided to get in on the act. He chose (if I remember correctly) The Temperance Seven, a trad jazz band.

Wiki says there was a Lacrosse match in 1912. What was that like CT?

No. I understand there maybe three different lenses/lasers (for CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays) and some don't seem convinced about cleaning them.

Is lens cleaning useful or could it possibly be harmful?
