    Netball World Cup 2019

    It was alright - as you say pretty end to end. But despite watching most England games I've still got very little clue on the rules besides where each position can go and only two people are allowed to score. Imagine if we'd got that in football last year and were relying on Chaplin and Thomas!

    Whatever happened to the comedy single?

    Maybe we can get Hickman to do a spoof called Bagsamoney

    City Centre Stabbing

    But wouldn't part of you think "why are London willing to give us money to take them?" They must be getting something from it - reduced crime statistics, lower policing and social costs etc. So whatever we'd be getting to take them on would be costing us more in police costs etc.

    Catch 22

    Going to binge watch it over the weekend. Really liked the book (not the sequel - that was proper weird). I seem to remember parts of the film were pretty graphic from years ago

    The Gay Footballer

    SOME people thrive on telling you they're gay. Many others don't. They do keep it private. But it also can prevent them from being themselves in public - they can't show affection towards their partner and the only way they can do that is tell people they're gay. I'm hoping that will become...

    Next Seasons Confirmed Squad/Transfer Rumours

    CT have put something up about a Ross McCormack rumour, then in the last paragraph stated MR is understood to have no interest. Not for me if there was any truth anyway - age, too expensive and doesn't seem to have given a shit for years. Almost certainly an agent trying to drum up interest.

    The Gay Footballer

    Possibly, but there is a very strong anti-gay sentiment in many African nations due to religion

    Old expressions your parents/grandparents used

    Ah, that's brought back memories of an Aussie kids show from my youth. Quite fancied the girl in it

    Whatever happened to the comedy single?

    I think I remember it now. Had a line of "Yogi's penis stinks of cheese CAMEM...CAMEM... Why did I think Yogi's girlfriend was called Cindy?

    Transfer Rumour Bids for Chaplin

    I guess he's still got stuff to move/sort out, and people etc he wants to see/say goodbye to Although at the Ricoh doesn't make much sense - you'd have thought all our people/stuff would've been gone from there by now

    Transfer Rumour Bids for Chaplin

    The signing fee can be whatever you make it to be in the contract. Otherwise players moving on a Bosman would get £0 signing on fee, when part of the draw of leaving on a free is a big signing on fee becase the club are saving on the transfer fee. Basically the player gets the transfer fee...

    Transfer Rumour Bids for Chaplin

    At most I would agree in the contract that if they left I'd continue paying them their salary until they register with another club. That way if it is a player initiated transfer then the payments won't last long. If it is the club trying to move a player out then the player has the security of...

    Transfer Rumour Bids for Chaplin

    Yep - that's why I'd demand a formal transfer request and agreement to forego future payments. If they refuse, they clearly don't want to leave that much do they. There may have been a time where the signing on fee was to cover the settlement of the previous contract. It may even still be the...

    Match Thread Telford friendly

    TIme will tell as it's still too early in the 'buying development players' era to say if it is improving the academy players or holding them back. The way I look at it is that a team should preferably have two players vying for each first team place. The one who is not being picked drops down...

    Transfer Rumour Bids for Chaplin

    It does seem odd doesn't it. I guess it depends on how much the team wants to get the player off the books and if they can afford it. Sometimes it's a 'loyalty bonus'. Personally for me I wouldn't offer it, especially if said player was leaving on a free. If they wanted their contract paid up...

    Joy Seppala

    If wasps counldn't pay the difference and the council were fined (which would have to be a massive change in thinking given all previous rulings) then the council could use that as extenuating circumstances to have to resell at a lower value. People have to sell their houses and cars at way...

    The Gay Footballer

    It is sad that it should even have to be mentioned, let alone be a news story. If it is true I hope it will quickly lead to others following their lead in a show of solidarity and support. I still remember the disgraceful way Justin Fashanu was treated. Part of me does wonder how some of...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    But what about the places in Italy which are largely run by organised crime? You can find worse wherever you want. Nowhere is without it's crime, but it the UK, France, Italy or Germany

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I agree. The index takes into account many factors but how it weights them won't be the same for everyone. There is every chance I would enjoy living in a foreign country more than here - I hate the cold, I hate the wet. I love sunshine. Spending time with my family is far more important to me...
