  1. I almost gave in. I was a click away from purchasing Benn/Eubank. Nearly hooked. I still think that if you pay for Sky Sports you should get sore sort of discount on a ppv event. Might nip to the boozer if I get the urge.
  2. It is 100% a theory. If it's not 100% then the percentage that is different could, no matter how small, prove the rest wrong. Science has suggested the possibility of life beyond Earth but has not produced any evidence. If a spaceship landed on Earth then that would prove 100% that life exists elsewhere. That would be a fact not a theory.
  3. Indeed. That's the point I was making. In a way they are making things up. Even you will agree that in this case they have not discovered life. No one ever has. Phew! For a second there I thought you were just being confrontational for the hell of it.
  4. Eh? Like I said. Im bored with this sort of news. The brains need to show us something that we haven't seen before. Theory's don't count. Until then the boredom will just carry on with every new and improved guess.
  5. All the big brains are saying is yip, life could exist. They dress it up with numbers and words. But it's just a fancy guess. Im bored with this type of news. And I reckon plenty of others are too. I want to see actual evidence. Show me a microorganism or futuristic city's on a rock. Not a computer altered image of a space cloud that has been colourised.
  6. Until we actually see any sort of life which is not of this planet then (for me) this news is boring or incorrect. There is actually nothing to see here folks.
  7. Went at Easter. What was his boss thinking?
  8. My comment was not specifically aimed at the people where I work. But aimed more at the community that they are part of. I might not agree but like I said I have no issues with folk who claim to be something. I might think they are bonkers but life is full of bonkers people. But I do have issues if people want me to accept something that they are clearly not. Does this answer your question?
  9. At work a lad who identifies as female has got plenty of support and understanding from the female population. Maybe I've not seen it but I've not seen many males being that matey with him/her though. As understanding and supportive as the female population are a few have raised concerns about him/her using the female toilets. He/she has now been excluded from using them and has been told that he/she will have to use the disabled toilet if he/she doesn't want to use the male toilet.
  10. Got 3 with identity issues where I work. Doesn't bother me. Folk can say whatever they want about themselves. What I don't agree with is people telling me that I have to participate in this illusion.
  11. Got a few. My musical tastes lean towards the heavy rock side. But I like a bit of Wet Wet Wet. Got a fondness for the Bridget Jones films. But I think Rene Zellweger has a lot to do with that. Women's sport. The big 3. I'll watch England but nothing else.
  12. I won't lie. This hurts. It's been a long time I've felt like this after a match.
  13. I loved the Naked Guns. Replacing Leslie Nielsen in Naked Gun is like replacing Freddie Mercury with Adam Lambert in Queen.
  14. Do yourself a favour and watch the documentary on the BBC iplayer (if it's still on there), or on Amazon Prime. Utterly compelling story. I knew absolutely nothing about what happened before I watched the doc. 9/10
  15. George Mulhall was pretty poor. Got the job on the back end of a couple of half decent results as caretaker. Back in them days being a manger wasn't an art. Any fooker who had kicked a ball professionally could be a gaffer if they wanted to. George was a classic example of that Some would say different but I thought Phil Neal was very poor. But I was well chuffed when he got the job. You always remember your first. For me it was Ian Greaves. And I can rattle off his teams from when he took over to when he got the sack. I would struggle to rattle off any other team since then.
  16. All of the so called hoolie films are utterly shite. Without exception.
  17. I have seen this quick KO scenario happen before, but not in this country. If McAtee hadn't been told I reckon things could have got interesting. But looking at the goal celebrations it looked like Baxter was aware of this situation. I must get out more.
  18. I know. I did say it was slightly different. But if the ref is ready and the team kicking off is ready then why not start. How often have we seen players ask a ref if they can take a free kick early while the defending team and keeper are faffing about with a wall. Like I said I reckon its a thing. And it seemed to be an issue last night.
  19. Like I said it's not up to the ref to arrange a team. Anyway, it looked as though it could have happened yesterday. Slightly different but I remember Sol Campbell celebrating a late winner against Argentina (I think). He was in the corner with everyone and Argentina charged up the pitch from the free kick. Yes it's different but the same principle. Get organized. Anyway I think it's a thing.
  20. During the dark days of playing a makeshift team we got battered at Wigan. Folk started to leave on 60 mins. Police couldn't have stopped them even if they wanted to. I remember it well because that day it absolutely pissed it down.
  21. Are you sure? It's not up to the ref to make sure everyone is in position. As long as everyone is in the right half then it's fair game. I'm sure I've seen it happen somewhere.
  22. Don't know if this has been mentioned. But 2 things I noticed from all the angles of the goal the club put up on SM today. When everyone charged to celebrate at our end, Wigan could have quiet rightly kicked off and bombed up the pitch. But I think McAtee went to celebrated with the bench and the coaches told him to go back in to the Wigan half because Wigan had already got the ball on the center spot. But it didn't matter because on his way to join the team at our end Sheehan ran past the center spot and booted the ball 60 yards. Shithousary at its finest.
  23. I'm on that. I'm on the fence giving it large. If it wasn't for that fence. A full block of empty seats and a few hundred paramilitary police. I would have steamed the lot - K2K.
  24. I've done over 100 league grounds just watching Bolton. Notable omissions from my list are are Newcastle and Norwich. In my reckoning up I only count the clubs and not the grounds. I went to Bristol Rovers the other night. That was the 3rd ground I've seen us play them on. But it's only 1 on my list. During the great plague of 2020/21 I missed out on 2 or 3 new ones
  25. BBC Sounds Tony Bellew, Gangster: Hooligans. There's a bit on that dart throwing incident. They actually tracked down the bloke who wore that dart and he talked about that day. As for that hoolie podcast. It fluctuated from being ok to being a bit dull. Concentrating on the big firms and the big events from the 70s & 80s. Apart from the odd tale it didn't really inform me of anything that I didn't already know. It did conveniently miss out our trip to Blackpool when addressing the serious issue deaths at games.
