Duff played well against Smeltic last season in Midfield. So i'm not adverse to the idea either. Seve needs to either be in defence or out of the team.

Well thats how the rich stay rich But yeah it makes sense not to get emotionally involved, but then again as I said, it seemed refreshing to see folk that would generally not have any real contact with that respective aspect of society actually have some heart and soul. The two I mentioned seemed to be dealing with grander schemes which would impact many aspects of society, whereas the others seemed to target smaller groups. That guy you call a caahhnntt came across as one Then again, you can also say maybe he gave the minimum to "inspire" them to continue getting support on their own accord. Self help styli.

Totally, but it just comes across that way sometimes. Like one guy who donated to an orchestra who needed 15k to survive, so he gave 10? To me that doesn't make sense, considering they were in such a place where they very rarely got much money from fund raising and had a big cut of funding from the council/government who pretty much funded them. As I said, maybe its more the way that the programme is edited to make them look like that.

I'm not saying its wrong for them to go back to them, as most of them have worked hard and from scratch to get where they are. But I suppose the point Andrew is making is that they don't have a permananent physical presence in the community that they were helping. I keep going on about these two, but they actually hired the people who had started the community programmes (they had a very basic wage to start with but funding was cut etc...). We could start a whole new thread on philanthropy Most people on that programme give 10k max, but these guys, especially the guy in possil park gave about 250k to support one scheme. I know it makes them look good but I think its nice to know acts of kindness still exist, maybe they don't need to be on such a scale, but they exist nonetheless.

Thats why I mentioned the two above, they are actively involved in the areas and actually help maintain their "investments". Well as far as I could tell anyway, much better than the majority of them which would be where I agree with you.

Well I don't think its far from the truth, we know the club are happy with reasonable stability and as has been mentioned before, a top 6 finish. This to them is a successful season with the odd cup run. Despite the product on the park severly lacking in any quality/entertainment whatsoever, as long as this bunch of players/management keep grinding out top 6 finishes, I don't think we'll hear a word from the club

Good programme, though some are better than others. A couple that spring to mind, the guy who helped out people in Possil Park, by far the most genuine and generous guy they've had on there, despite giving a blind hun cash for buckie/season ticket at Stybrox for 5 years. And a woman who helped maintain a few community groups in Rochdale. Most of the millionairs (especially one that was in an old mining town near Middlesborough I think?) seem to show great joy and smugness when they tell the folk they are millionaires. Something which the two I mentioned did not do. So, its good programme

Its ok, I'll let that one slide But it is true, just makes life easier when you feel happy about your club! Mizer, you've got an optimistic hat on today But yeah, it is true, it would have to seriously go tits up for us not to be top 6!

Seriously?!?! How can his position NOT be under threat after another shocking result? If so thats absolutely proposterous from the club. He should at least be fearful for his job because by fuck we've had a very mediocre/poor season with some horrendous lows and records being broken (all for the wrong reasons).

Didn't realise that Bobo. Haha Hebrew, you really have it in for him eh But I agree, no point in sacking him now, won't do the squad any good at all.

This is something I mentioned earlier on in the week (well thursday or friday). I fully expected to hear something from the club with regards to our management and I am quite shocked/disappointed (not sure which) that we haven't. Maybe they are trying to deal with it in house, who knows! Maybe they were waiting for the Hivs result, or maybe they are indeed just waiting till the end of the season.

Not sure, I thought it all depended on if he was fit. I'm sure he'll make sure he's fit anyway.

Not watched the highlights yet, but it didn't sound like he did that bad yesterday and certainly got stuck in. But maybe thats the problem with him, plenty of passion and drive, just a distinct lack of end product. Jury is still out on him, but I think there is a general bad feeling looming over the squad just now and I don't think playing him on the wrong occassions (or too late) helps. When is Miller back?

Aye Ferdinand hasn't had the best of seasons by his standards. Really quite bizarre as I thought he was fantastic last season (or maybe season before that). Ronaldo also seems to have lost his way a bit recently and becoming more and more petulant. He really needs to sort that out and start scoring again. United's season is potentially about to turn rocky, so they need players to start stepping up to the plate! Two sendings off yesterday was not good at all, Villa's game next weekend shall be very interesting now as both teams will be looking to atone for errors made over the past few weeks.

Its about Yellowstone national park! Fantastic programme. Worth a watch on iPlayer too.

I plan to watch that on Tuesday once i've had my reviews. Yellowstone and Skins and booze, great night in

Well to be honest, I don't think any youngster would. Did we not field a fair few youngsters in a final game against Smeltic a few years back (Stewart and Maguire combined well that day I recall). Obviously it can go either way, they either have a stormer or an absolute 'mare of a game. But I think its getting to the stage where the squad needs to be freshened up to give people an opportunity to bring new ideas to the table, because clearly the current XI as a whole are not clicking and not fighting for each other (a few players apart obviously).

The day that Sir David Attenborough dies will be a sad day indeed. The BBC's nature programmes are worth the TV license money alone.

Long, but interesting read nonetheless. I'm sure most of you won't read it but it is a good read and well written post.

When I saw that crevasse I could only think of one thing! It was deep

To be honest, i've lost most of my hope for this season. We've been far too inconsistent and let down far too often, especially when we think the team can kick on and get a run going. Why this is, I dont know, but I think i'm waiting for the new season already. I can't believe i've said it, but I just don't see it happening for us this season I can't believe Liverpool actually won 5-0 today. Its absolutely nuts. The title race in England has been thrown wide open again!

The hottest place on Earth. On BBC 1 now! Its absolutely awesome! Definitely worth a watch on iPlayer if you've missed it. hmmmm. Camel piss

Arabs drawing with Tims now Edit: Sandaza just scored for them 2-1 up now.

haha to be fair it was just after two and I just couldn't be bothered I tried it once and it didn't work so

Cheers for that Mizer, I couldn't be bothered to save the file and upload it Was our section sold out or is that pretty indicative of the numbers?
