Caleyfan4ever.... go to the bottom of the class!!! He (she?) is perfectly correct with the "practise" (although I have to say, NOT with a few more words than that! .)

The verb, which is what is being used here, has an "S", the noun has a "C".

Now now Charles. You should go to the bottom of the class. Both spellings are correct.

Depends if your in America or Britian Stan

Oxford dictionary:

practice

? noun 1 the actual application of a plan or method, as opposed to the theories relating to it. 2 the customary way of doing something. 3 the practising of a profession. 4 the business or premises of a doctor or lawyer. 5 the action or process of practising something so as to become proficient in it.

? verb US spelling of PRACTISE. ? USAGE It should be noted that practice is the spelling for the noun, and in America for the verb as well; practise is the British spelling of the verb.

practise

(US practice) ? verb 1 perform (an activity) or exercise (a skill) repeatedly in order to improve or maintain proficiency in it. 2 carry out or perform (an activity or custom) habitually or regularly. 3 be engaged in (a particular profession). 4 observe the teaching and rules of (a religion). 5 archaic scheme or plot for an evil purpose.

Back on topic. I think penalties are more about having the nerve and ability to dupe an opposing keeper than about the actual kick, provided it's on target. Not every player has the calmness to be a penalty taker.

Not they're not. We must not allow a bunch of Johnny Come Lately Damned Colonials to corrupt the English language in this way with their perverted spellings and distorted word meanings.

On the other hand, Alex.. when you go to bed tonight.. remember to undo your suspenders! :002:

With this game coming, there's a chance that once again this game could go to penalties, so surely it's time they practiced them. I noticed in the Courier last week that Grant Munro said that they never practice penalties and "hope it all goes right on the day". Surely this isn't the way to go. Now I know some people are going to come with what the media constantly harp on about, calling them a "lottery". If you practice them, they aint. The Spanish and Italians say that this simply isn't true. You have to practice penalties. Notice England have only ever won on penalties once in a amjor competition, why? Cause they hardly ever practice them. Why do Portugal and the like always seem to win on penalties? Cause they always practice them. Surely not practicing penalties this week especially would be madness. Discuss

Why?

We will be out before then!

Dont see the harm in it at all but then, we have only lost ONE* penalty shootout in our existance against Alloa in Cup final in 2000

*i think?

...and fouth round of Scottish cup 2006 v Partick. Lost 4-2 on pens

*Scratches head.

dont remember that one?

Your head has quite wisely stopped your memory from finding that one. cold cold cold night.

[Renegade]

With Esson seeming to be soooooo good at saving penalties would you really want to practice them as if esson started to save most of them it would mean they would lose confidence in there penalty taking skills and surely that would be a negative thing

Coudn't they take them into Allison then?

[Guest]

I thought it was common knowledge that you should NEVER ask a teacher for advice on spelling.

Anyway, penalties ...................... no danger.

We have taken them well this season and Esson will save a good proportion of any taken against him.
