The bigger you are the less you fall

I seem to remember in England many moons ago

Peterborough made illegal payments to players and got relegated

Manchester Unt did something similar and got fined

Bury played an unregistered player loanee ( on for 10mins) in the cup and got thrown out

West Ham played an illedal player in the league and got fined, costing Sheff Unt relegation. When there was only goal difference between the two of them.

I'm afraid the powers that be don't challenge the big clubs like they do the small ones.

Iwonder why?

Interesting debate this

I think the little clubs in the lower divisions will enjoy the cash from a visit from Rangers

If they get punished like Livingstone ?

I could run a football team using other peoples money

> ?

The Jury thought not

But I am not so sure ?

_{nobody broke the law a judge sad so}

_{this forum once again is full of frivolous cooments}

_{i was just explaining we it is useful to be in a union}

_{if you have nothing sensible to say - say nought}

Not a laughing matter for the person concerned

You don't need to be in a Union till you need to be in a Union.

I was aquainted with a head teacher, who gave the names of her parents to the PTA -

Who circulated the parents about an all weather pitch

She was taken to court under the Data protection act -

She got off because she was represented by a barrister paid for by the teachers union.

Maybe we could loan their best player and pay his wages?

Hi

This time I think I got it I think?

I had to edit this out as I could not upload the picture I wanted =

I think we shall all enjoy the Olympics - Cant wait

I only mentioned it because I have just seen it

I have removed this

When I first moved here I was getting a lot of Haressment from B....... St..... a water Company

Their administration was getting me down, phone callsd letters by me where having no impact.

I asked Alexander to sort it out and he did so straight away without any pack drill or ceremony

I don't go along with his efforts in the colilition but on a local MP level he is hard working and concientious

He is a young man who needs to learn a lot about politics in London , hopefully the road to Damascus will not be too long

I don't think you are missing anything

But to say they are all out for themselves is a bit mean

There are a lot of very good hard working people in all political parties

Without there efforts we wouldd be without government

Show some respect

The Play-offs are about to start

I fancy - if you like a bet on outsiders

Try Baltimore Ravens For The Super Bowl

The people's flag is deepest red,

It shrouded oft our martyred dead,

And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold,

Their hearts' blood dyed its ev'ry fold.

Look 'round, the Frenchman loves its blaze,

The sturdy German chants its praise,

In Moscow's vaults its hymns are sung

Chicago swells the surging throng.

It waved above our infant might,

When all ahead seemed dark as night;

It witnessed many a deed and vow,

We must not change its colour now.

It well recalls the triumphs past,

It gives the hope of peace at last;

The banner bright, the symbol plain,

Of human right and human gain.

It suits today the weak and base,

Whose minds are fixed on pelf and place

To cringe before the rich man's frown,

And haul the sacred emblem down.

With heads uncovered swear we all

To bear it onward till we fall;

Come dungeons dark or gallows grim,

This song shall be our parting hymn.

I quite like the red flag

It symbolises the working class struggle to get out of the mire of the rule of the Tories in the 1920s and 30s when there was a dire need for socialism

Don't forget that without the Labour party in those early days you would still be doffing your cloth cap to the bosses.

From Laurence

All the best to all and you get all you wish for.

Team is looking like it will avoid the drop now

Don't put chains on radial tyres - When I was in The Fire Brigade we used to let some of the air out of the tyres when they are softer they grip better. Only go slow though untill you pump them up again

First game in charge as manager of Bristol City today, what for the Saints now?

Bristol City are doing very well now under his leadership

Unbelievable

So Shocked - one of the nicest people in football - He will live long in the memory of millions of people

Deverstating for his family, for Wales, and football in the principality

Rest in peace

There was a minutes clapping at the Swansea match, apparently Given the Villa Goalkeeper was crying at Kick off

Nobody can belive it

Hi

Many thanks for the info

If my reputation on Amazon is under fire that concerns me because that is my living

My reputation on this site is not of my making, it is down to others who are confrontational and get obtuse because there views are not mine

I have been insulted and maligned on this site, not of my making, other than to speak my mind.

I have been warned I know not for what, except that I said the team was , well you know what I said

As far as I know the book was deleted from both uk and com arms of Amazon

I take very seriously my deletions, although it is the provence of my lady wife to do the deletionsI, i sell about 10 books a day, so deletions over many sites take time.

I am getting on now, so I do make mistakes.

Forgive me for feeling persecuted by this site. I was only trying to pass on my thoughts, I bear no malice to the users of this site. I realise that mostly they are young and passionate about their team. I hope for their sake they are right and not me.

Repution in tatters. I think not. I was a senior fire brigade officer for many years. I carry with me an excellant reputation for many years of public service.

To Charles Bannerman or anyone else

Hi

I wonder if you can help me

I mentioned once that I am a bookseller ; anyway I have sold another copy of against all odds , but I can't find it.

Do you have a copy you can let me have , or do you know where I can get one. I don't want to let the buyer down as he seems keen to learn about the clubs History.

I did wonder if the club shop had some copies.?

But I do't go up to town very often these days.

I have a short timescale on this so I woild be much obliged for any help. I hate disapointing people.

Best regards

Laurence
