Poor kids.

Sorry to throw the political element in but I don't get how Abbott is responsible for this though. The industry has been unsustainable for ages.

Do we blame the government that reduced tariffs on imported vehicles, the government that got us to an economic climate that make manufacture too expensive in this country, do we blame the unions for forcing wages up, do we blame the Labor government for bringing in the carbon tax (thereby shooting already labouring donkey) or do we blame Abbott for not "upping" the bail out package? For me, I can't blame Abbott because I'm always critical of throwing ridiculous amounts of money on business cases that lose money hand over fist.

Now if he'll just reduce funding on the arts and defence!

Personally not interested in it but good on them for having a crack, no ones forcing us to watch.
Surely they could have named the series something more appropriate and not just copy the mens side, fail to see how the whole Ashes history has anything to do with womens cricket

Yes the women's ashes would be as interesting as watching all of you play the z grade level of cricket or football that you play/played. But good on you for having a go.

Sad news at the passing of Mr Preston today

Played over 500 games for the Invincible's and regarded by everyone in football as a true legend of the game.

Palermo once offered him £10,000 signing fee and £100 per week. He was on £14 per week at the time and PNE offered another £6 a week to stay. The rest is history as they say.

One of a few players to only play for one club and go on to be club president

RIP

90s to early 00s. Generally attacking footy. One on one contests. Physicality part of the game. Still a handful of suburban grounds, each with their own colour/uniqueness. Not old enough to comment on anything earlier than 90s.

I've said this before but I reckon Ferguson should stay away from the club. He's had his day. David Moyes' cause is not helped by having Fergie casting a critical eye from the stands.

Let's not forget that he lobbied hard to have Moyes as his successor so he has to accept some of the responsibility for the club's predicament.

Whilst Fergie was a great manager he's not a very good judge of managerial talent. I remember him saying Aston Villa made a good choice in appointing Alex McLeish three years back :roll:
Thats just Ferg looking after his Scottish mates lol

Great win tonight we completely outplayed the Bloods prob should have been a bigger win if we kicked straight.

New game plan is a breath of fresh air and new recruits all looked good.

Awesome to see a win at home and get our season off to a positive start!!!!!!

With Maxy's decision to head West it throws open the back up openers spot again for when Phil Hughes gets taken on paid holidays to overseas destinations to have throw downs

I think his original comments were taken out of context. To your question, I think neither.

I think it would take a lot for a 16/17/18 yo to be taken out of their environment and automatically 'get' the AFL footballer lifestyle. The discipline and team meetings would drive me crazy.

Shiteh win 4-0
What a pathetic capitulation
Villa are a basket case and if they don't get rid of that scotch idiot, then they will deserve to go down.
This must be the worst Villa side since the 70's

Spot on.
And Lambert's comments after the game:
"I thought we did fantastic. I am really proud of the team and the nerves were starting to set in.
"I didn't think it was easy for them, I couldn't be prouder of my own team...."
:roll:

He'll be sacked by next Monday.
He talks like they are a league 2 side that just lost 4-0 to City in an FA Cup game
FFS, Lambert, you are premier league v premier league and you just lost 4-0 :roll:

Lance cleared

Put him in a Hawthorn guernsey and he gets one. (or any other guernsey apart from a Swans one)
There was no difference between this hit and the one on Malceski last year, apart from the squealing by Malceski and the Swans.

Don't get me wrong I think it was a fair bump and the right decision has been made this time.

Fair bump?
How the hell do you figure that?
Chose to bump and got him in the head.
Reckless, careless, unnecessary, does it every week and the MRP continue to look the other way.
Absolute FARCE the MRP are, bordering on corrupt !

We are simply not good enough. We played some great patches and some rubbish patches. Team selection was ordinary and the coach is simply no good.
Ive said since day 1 we will never be a success with a Aussie coach who has no experience in the big leagues, he sat on his hands and let the game get away from us in that final 15 minutes. His love of that plodder Milligan beggars belief, he is slow in the A-League and just a dumb footballer.
Definately not happy with a loss especially against a Chile side with a worse defence than us, we simply didnt attack them enough. Job is always harder with the refs against you aswell though
I agree you need a Scotsman
Get Moyes off the dole queue?

Ah I remember the good old days when Villa were talking up a sponsorship with Rover... only to end up with LDV vans... ah the mid 90's I believe...

Just read we are out the race now. spewin!
Reckon you are still in it.
Dont get caught up in the British tabloids, they deliberately make up stories. For every article saying you are out of the race there will be another 3 articles saying he has signed for you. Still a few weeks left before sides will complete their squads

Harvey's no different to Lakes, could be argued it was more forceful and with his terrible record (has a 40% loading) should get 5-6 weeks. Alot will depoend on if he pleads guilty or not as he gets a 25% reduction if he does.
He may as well of had his Mad Monday today on his own which would be quite apt given his selfishness.

I have absolutely no idea how players manage to dive with such apparent ease :? One of the first things I learnt as a junior was to keep your feet and be strong in a contest, I've had times where i've been pushed hard in the back but still cant bring myself or rather refuse to fall over :? I think it's just natural instinct.

If someone walked up to you in the street and pushed you I would be very suprised if you fell over, i'm sure 9/10 people would stagger and try to remain on their feet.

Divers = fairies

Lol anyone read about the Man U supporting chick that used a £2.50 free bet to back Man U to win 4-0 but accidentally put it on MK 4-0 for a collect of £1,250

and the rulers of West Yorkshire (and soon the world)...

Bradford City...

Two Italian men get on the bus. They sit down and engage in an animated conversation. The lady sitting behind them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of the men say the following: "Emma come first. Den I come. Den two asses come together. I come once-a-more. Two asses, they come together again. I come again and pee twice. Then I come one lasta time.""You foul-mouthed swine," retorted the lady indignantly. "In this country we don't talk about our sex lives in public!"
"Hey, coola down lady," said the man. "Who talkin' abouta sexa? I'm a justa tellin' my frienda how to spella 'Mississippi'."

I reckon you'd find that a fair percentage of 'international' Manchester United supporters believe the club is based in London. They wouldn't know Manchester exists.

I have an Arsenal supporting mate who swears he goes for Arsenal because all his family is from the suburb of Arsenal, no amount of google searches or anything can disprove in his mind his family are from 'Arsenal'

His never heard of Woolwich though

I can fully understand Yallop and Boycott's reluctance to face Messers Holding and Thomson. Of the West Indies bowlers I reckon Andy Roberts would have been the scariest to face. He would bowl a 'slow' bouncer and then follow it up with a real fast one. It was this move that earnt David Hookes a ride in Packer's Jag.

the Indians are bowling to the 10 and 11

granted they aren't the worst going around, but surely you set attacking fields

Like I've said earlier. Pitch the ball on off stump on the popping crease and they shouldnt have a problem either bowling them or getting a LBW.

then what's his job then?

Worst over I've ever seen at any level of cricket dead set spud.

Always down to the same thing with so many sides. They pick bowlers for their batting and batsmen for their bowling. Bopara's made an entire international career from England's all rounder obsession.

Woakes does though have a very good first class bowling record, so perhaps they think that ability will eventually translate but right now, Jordan seems the better one day bowling option.

Pretty happy to get the draw against Man City this weekend. Very handy point. However we should have won. 6th time this season we have given a lead away in injury time.

Desperately unlucky mate.

Huge game for you blokes against my mob, Villa, tomorrow night.

I've been to Hull a couple of times and have a lot of respect for the Tigers.

In one respect I hope you beat us because it might hasten the departure of that plonker of a manager we have who in my opinion is holding us back. It might improve our chances of staying up and would be for the greater good !

Hope we helped mate ;)

What if you're into both guys & chicks?
Oh wait, there is a bi week....

i am looking forward to stay at home mums round, single dad round, mental health round and human apprecitation round

They have already served their 2 years.....the football public that is..

30 years to the day since the bradford city fire . RIP to the fans who went to a football match, and never went home

Heard today the investigators say an Australian visitor dropped the cigarette that caused it

I don't think that Mick's "old school" approach works with today's footballers, it's a similar head vain popping style that has seen Rodney Eade turn the Suns from competitive to limp.

Adrian McAdam's 17 games in his debut season of 1993 were unbelievable, returning 68 goals including 23 in his first 3 matches.
He was something else - but as spectacular as his arrival to the big time was, 1993 was it for him.
Could barely get near it in '94-'95

Might be a dumb question WOF, but do you work for a large organisation? Often, they have reciprocal rights to upgrade for 15 bucks. if not, find someone 'inside' a large organisation and see if you can upgrade using their registration.

Taylor gets my vote. A great tactician and a respected leader.

A blonde heard that baths in milk would make her beautiful. She left a note for her milkman to leave 25 gallons of milk.

When the milkman read the note, he felt there must be a mistake. He thought she probably meant 2.5 gallons.

So he knocked on the door to clarify the point.

The blonde came to the door and the milkman said, "I found your
note asking me to leave 25 gallons of milk.

Did you mean 2.5 gallons?"

The blonde said,
"No, I want 25 gallons. I'm going to fill my bathtub up with milk and take a milk bath so I can look young and beautiful again."

The milkman asked, "Do you want it pasteurized?"

Wait for it

The blonde said,
"No, just up to my tits ...
I can splash it on my eyes if I need to!"

The bloody league changed its name from VFL to AFL, not its history. Jesus its not that hard to understand.
Pretty simple

X2

Using that logic PAFC simply went from the SANFL to the AFL in 1997, when we know that the Port Power was created in 1997 and the PAFC stayed in the SANFL

Sorry totally new league in 1990.

Pretty Simple really.
False, the AFL was a name change only.
The comittee members were the same and all financials were kept the same. It wasnt like the A-League which started fresh

It pains me to say this, but I agree with Bennys no.2 point.

If they paid holding the balls (the ones that should be paid, but aren't anymore) players will have to vacate the immediate area so the player can take his kick. Letting him hold onto it, then call a ball up just causes everyone to congregate in same area, and most ball ups result in another stoppage immediately after.

Pay the frees that are there, and the game will flow. They don't call them either way. They let the player being tackled drop the ball. Once the ball hits the ground, of course everyone's gonna jump on it if they haven't heard a whistle.
Boundary umpires and field umpires also contribute to congestion with the throw ins and bounce ups. They continually look over their shoulders and wait for people to get to the impact zone. Don't wait for the players and they will learn pretty quick. It will probably lead to less off the ball free kicks.

Lol at Hodge being unsure how much he drank..."three or four"... Do you use your fingers to count pal?
