Given that which magazine has made strong observations on the subject of Payday loans. It cant be right that teams like Blacpool and Hearts are showing Payday lenders on their shirts Football clubs shoold not in my view give credibility to these people http://www.which.co.uk/news/2012/05/new-which-research-exposes-payday-loan-failings-286258/ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2215082/St-James-Park-reinstated-Newcastles-new-sponsors-Wonga.html http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/wonga-extend-blackpool-sponsorship-deal-3600351 http://images.uk.ask.com/fr?q=Hearts+Wonga+shirt&locale=en_GB&desturi=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fbusiness-18160539%23sa-ns_mchannel%3Drss%26amp%3Bns_source%3DPublicRSS20-sa&initialURL=http%3A%2F%2Fuk.ask.com%2Fpictures%3Fqsrc%3D167%26o%3D16146%26l%3Ddis%26q%3DHearts%2520Wonga%2520shirt%26dm%3Dall%26siteid%3D%26locale%3Den_GB&fm=i&ac=24&fsel=1&ftURI=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.uk.ask.com%2Ffr%3Fq%3DHearts%2BWonga%2Bshirt%26desturi%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.bbc.co.uk%252Fnews%252Fbusiness-18160539%2523sa-ns_mchannel%253Drss%2526amp%253Bns_source%253DPublicRSS20-sa%26imagesrc%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fnews.bbcimg.co.uk%252Fmedia%252Fimages%252F60272000%252Fjpg%252F_60272931_014709028-1.jpg%26thumbsrc%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fmedia5.picsearch.com%252Fis%253Fj0639fce80mTrDVtwkhQtz4Wh-ySYEaHOlRATEVczUE%26o%3D16146%26l%3Ddis%26thumbuselocalisedstatic%3Dfalse%26thumbwidth%3D128%26thumbheight%3D72%26fn%3D_60272931_014709028-1.jpg%26imagewidth%3D304%26imageheight%3D171%26fs%3D9%26f%3D2%26fm%3Di%26fsel%3D1%26ftbURI%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fuk.ask.com%252Fpictures%253Fq%253DHearts%252BWonga%252Bshirt%2526page%253D1%2526o%253D16146%2526l%253Ddis%2526pstart%253D0%26locale%3Den_GB&qt=0

Just thought there might be a bargain that's all. Our bench is a bit shallow. But if none of them are worth it, fair enough. It is sometimes good business to cash in on a rivals misfortune.

Apparently their big problem is their enormous wage bill They re not allowed to make players redundant. They could of course loan out players I wonder if we could use one or two of them , maybe we couldn't afford them? But in true football manager game stragegy we could offer a lower wage. In eight days time the administrator may release them anyway? Div 3 here comes another big gun, or jam tart? I don't think the Inverness goal machine as any thing to worry about on Saturday.

McCarthy/Conner to be unveiled as Ipswich management team later today According to Sky News 12.30 pm 31/10/2012

I thought he made two incredible saves when two of the Johnies were through on goal, with only Reg the hero to beat [quote name='Jeepsaw' timestamp='1351634133' post='353 985']Reguero. It wold be a dodgy 1st game back for Esson and Reguero has done well. If we can't get a goal then bring on Esson for an outfield player and put Reguero up front.........

The SNP are a party of asumptions They assume the EEC will welcome an Independant Scottish parliament with open arms They assume the Bank of England will continue to suport the Scottish pound The assume they will wim elections in Scotland for ever They assume the Royal Mail will stay in Sctland They assume they can carry on as they do now ? THey assume the rump UK British government will not fight on economic grounds i.e if Scotland reduces Company tax, will not England reduce theirs lower. Remember the big guy usually wins. I feel we need to know what the new Scottish parliament will be like Will there be two houses Will there be a supreme court Will there be new constituences how big will they be Will the new MP's be elected on a first pass the post system We can't be asked to vote blind on these issues Will the British military bases still be requied Will ship building still be required on the Clyde If you google the constitution of the Irish republic you will see what has to be set up. If there is a yes vote , will the new constitution be also put to the people? Remember refendia do not come cheap

Looks like the SNP have been spending public money to finance legal issues connected with their campaign abuse of power A government should not use public money for the governing parties own platform I remember way back when Harold Wilson ran a referendum on what was then common market membership. The goverrment issued two documents , which were posted to every household. One explained the Yes vote and one explained the No vote. I can't see why the Ediburg parliament can't do the same.. The vote should not be a party political issue , but a fair down the line explenation of the issues The whole thing is a real toy town carve up Most unseemly

Curbishley won't take already refused Wolves and Newcasle Rednap won't, He wants a top team maybe Scotland? lol Coyle might,- or Scotland McCarthy would must be worth a bet If Butcher takes it , How about Paul Jewel for ICT? I suppose we couldn't aford him My Guess is Steven Pressley would be in the frame Billy Davis could be in the frame, again Scotland

I wonder if I could put £20 on him at these odds . Has anybody got inside info? http://www.thesackrace.com/teams/ipswich-town

The Englsh went to Cardiff

Is it safe to go in the away end? If indeed we get an end or is it like Man U away fans get a couple of benches in row Z.

Nick On saturdays there is a football bus that leaves the bus station for the stadium about 3 quarters of an hour before K.O I presume it runs for Friday night games as well, you need to check though.

Fantastic; if we move it around as we did on Saturday , Rangers won't know what's hit them. We wioll have to man mark their skipper though.

I suppose live by the off the cuff remark, die by the on the cuff remark. Does it matter one itota if I say Calley, Caley, or Kelly, The word is a coruption of the Roman word Caledonian. ( Meaning Northern waste land) So what the Hell. I never could spell left school at 14 not like your generation who had a comprehensive education, or indeed a grammar school education, or you went to Eton. To mock someone over spelling is pretty bad form, from a generation who have had it so good. I was brought up on rationing. My first job was a 48 hour week, my second was 56 hour week. But the world will spin to my next report Some say, this some say that, but I say " well that's for me to know and you to think about". OK I will say it, in 60 years of watching professional football, No 23 is as bad as it gets.".

Cheer up Luke with a bit of luck I am completely wrong, and he is the new Pele.

Just as an aside My son who goes book buying for me has found me a copy for a couple of quid I am well chuffed He says the value is around £70 Although this is one book I will not be selling as yet anyway He also brought me a book about the early days of Hibernian, and how this little Irish working men's based club managed to get themselves into the elite of Scottish football.

Besides the fact , he has no positional, sense, - he can't pass the ball, - he cant tackle We have a real find

I suppose when I took my seat in a half empty stadium, with about a small coach load of opposition fans sitting opposite, I did wonder that i was in for a rather sombre afternoon. A rather muted rendation of Glory Glory Dundee United just about broke the silence, but it fizzled out. Our fans did not respond with the usual reponse of " Can you hear the Dundee sing" , totally ignoring it I had never seen Dundee United before , but I felt that this famous old club , well renowed not only in Scotland but throughout the rest of United Kingdom and beyond would give us a hard time. ( I spoke to my sister in Law after the game, she lives near Preston, and when I told her the result all she could say in Amazement was " Dundee United ? " as though she couldn't believe it, ) The game started eventful enough , the Calley goalie , resplendant in his off white Madrid socks , took the eye, he was to see 3 United shots blazed over the bar, ( the old song "what the F' hell was that", I must admit crossed my mind, but the Calley young men in the north stand get their dignity and didn't sing it. Another ball crashed into the reserve golies side netting, and a long afternoon seemed to beckon. Morrison was booked for a reckless tackle all within 6 or 7 minutes of the kick off. Well I thought will we complete this with 11 players on the field?????. As you know the rest I won't bore you with a record of the goals Throughout the game I was moaning to the poor guy within earshot about No 23 Roberts on loan I think. I said at one time we would be better painting 23 on a can of beans and putting it on the wing, I suggested we were playing with 10 men ( as usual) Only to find our players struggling to get a shot in. with backs to the goal, had no where to go but to shove it out to the foresaid can of beans who was loafing around on the edge of the box. Well the rest is history. My neighbour in the stand smiled and said " keep on complaining it is working wonders ", a minute later he was sustituted, not my nieghbour , but the said number 23. Well as a famous guy once said on being elected " things can only get better ". The stand in goalkeeper was to receive the first clean bonus of the season, but I wonder if we will see him again , he did nothing wrong although the Spanish tenancy to punch the ball away , rather than catch , was much in evidence. Roger and out !

Why do you even bother? That's got more red writing than my old english jotters! My post got you on the back foot and you fell for it I was as you know just trying to expose the whole business and the vote as a complete sham The SNP have caused a whole load of confusion just so they can grab power They are not interested in the long game, just interested in their own selfish ends People who bring up every day UK politics are off topic completely and I don't mean the topic of this forum, but topic of Independence in general To become a separate country is for ever , just like in Ireland who left the Union in 1922 , for reasons both historical and religious. Actually it is quite ironic that it was mainly protestant Scots who caused a a lot of the trouble. Anyway my point is it does not matter how bad the London government is now, or how good the Ediburgh government is , it is quite off the point. Governments change every few years. Some are better than others. I was born in 1943 . I have lived through Churchill Atlee, Churchill again, Edan, MacMillan, Douglas Home, Wilson, Heath, Wilson again, Callaghan, Thatcher, Blair , Brown . and Carmeron. At lot of Scottish names there. All the governments have been different all made mistakes and all changed things and with the exception of the incumbant have left the scene. Over the nwxt 70 years all will happen again. Now to say as my first challenger said, because of Nick Clegg vote yes, if quite stupid, if I vote yes, I am voting away the future. Nobody knows what the Edinburgh government will be like in 10 , 20 50, or even 100 years. You cant go Independent on a whim because of a short term belief that the politicians in Ediburgh are better than those in London Get your red pen Marxist pen out and scribble away, you are easy to wind up. If you wonder why I said that, ask Alex Salmond what is political beliefs are?

June 2012 Scotland votes to leave the Union The House of Lords ratifies the bill and orders a constitution to be drawn up A further referendum is required on the Constitution First pass the post is preferred by the Scottish electorate. August Scotland votes for a Lower house comprising of 1 MP for every 50;000 adult ( about 60} residents and a senate comprising of 30 senators A supreme court will also have to be elected to form the judiciary A general election will be required and a designated parliament formed before power can be handed over The British government announce plans to remove all military bases and regiments from Scotland The bank of England announce they will not be supporting a Scottish Pound November new electoral boundaries are drawn up A hung parliament is elected with the Tories holding the balance of power Scotland’s application to join the EEC is agreed with the provisos they join the Euro zone Measures are insisted on by Europe to get down the inherited debt from the the Uk Scotland also have to pay for support of Gibraltar and the Falkland Isles The Royal Mail leave Scotland, a majority of Post Offices close The republic of Ireland agree to allow Scottish passport holders to use their facilities throughout the world providing they pay rentals Scotland reduce Corporation tax below British levels , England reply by lowering theres to a level Scotland cant compete with Many industries leave Scotland for England were transport is easier to the Continent So on and so forth It’s the old story the big guy always wins whether it’s in the playground the pub or in politics

There is another choice vote YES in 2014 And get a bunch of toy town clowns in charge of finances you must be joking

I listenned with some interest to Nick Cleggs speech today He blamed every thing to do with debt on Labour. Although debt has increased under this Government I remembered this web page I read sometime ago worth reading if you are in to politics. http://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2012/07/02/banking-2012-the-crisis-we-have-to-address-and-how/
