Yep – some folk should hang their heads in shame.

Forgot what it tastes like?! How do you cope? Anyway, it doesn’t really need adverts but love the snowman one.

Don’t quite follow that logic. In my book, the term international – footballing wise – refers to someone who has played or does play for their country. Not someone from a different country to mine.

By that logic you could say that every footballer the world over is an international, even Sunday league footballers.

Well done to Aberdeen tonight by the way. Great result.

Certainly was, Sionko certainly proved his point to Walter Smith :roll:

Seems to be a good career move for the player as well. I read somewhere, think it was the following day, that the Manchester United ‘star’ was also an international. Not sure exactly when that happened but if that’s the sign of things to come under Capello, Lee Hughes caused death by dangerous driving so he must be in line for the captaincy.

Have to agree with Slayer, a guy like Capello is just what England need. They have some quality players but they don’t perform to the best of their abilities often enough. Those days look to be gone as he won’t stand for it. Could be that we see quite a few new faces in the England squad.

Did anyone else think that when Barwick was reeling off…[Read more]

I can’t find the thread I started. Has somebody been deleting posts? :?

Probably – it seems that only certain people get away with certain things on here.

Good – cos you didn’t. I’m on backshifts all week so it can’t get any worse!

I think the thing is, and I argue about this with my mum a lot too, is that I have a better understanding now of how the police operate and the limits which they work within (I can assure you, most cops would like to be able to do more but their hands are tied by the…[Read more]

I reckon Capello would be a good choice, problem is doesn’t speak much English so he’d need an assistant who can speak both Italian and English. So he’d probably be foreign as well and that might not sit well with some.

He’s also not much of a media man so the press interest before he’s even got the job may play a part. Didn’t Scolari turn down…[Read more]

Feel free – won’t ruin my day in any way, shape or form. It’s usually a last resort anyway.

Actually, the fact that I work with the police doesn’t have a great deal to do with it. I’ve always had issues with folk who think (remember that word, it’s key) they know better. So it’s only heightened an opinion that’s always been there.

You may not have noticed either that I used the term ‘generally’ which isn’t the same as ‘always’ which you…[Read more]

Have you ever read ‘Wasting Police Time’ by PC David Copperfield? It’d be funny if it wasn’t true.

The big question here is ‘Why aren’t all these druggies locked up?’ Simple – being a druggie isn’t a crime and unless they’re either caught dealing or in posession there’s sweet FA the law can do.

You wouldnt notice much difference if every copper in Britain went on strike. :lol:

Crime levels would probably stay the same – as must coppers would rather harrass innocent people than catch all the murderers, robbers, rapists etc..

I bet they would get all the Community Officers doing their dirty work, pretty much the same as…

Love some of the comments, especially the last one!

What made you arrive at that conclusion or are we just talking wishful thinking here?

I have it on good authority that god is not fat. I asked one of the god squad who enjoy talking to me when I’m not listening to find out since he speaks to god and god speaks back.

They both left very quickly after that. Dunno why.

Yep, you’ve got to think that France, Holland and Italy are/were among the pre tournament favourites. Now at least one of the big boys won’t be there long which could make an interesting tournament for the others.

You’re p**sed off about having to go to work? I’m p**sed off cos I’ve just read something that makes me think I am back at work trying desperately hard not to listen to the girls in the office complaining about men and here’s why:

They go out on the pull at the weekend, they meet someone else who’s also out on the pull, one thing leads to another…[Read more]

Repair bill? What sort of man do you think I am?!

Technically, it hasn’t been five days – my PC was away for repair Tuesday, Wednesday and part of Thursday. So neh-neh!

Anyway, I believe money was mentioned and I’m not easily swayed.
