  1. An invasion of German TV in 1972. Never the same since. Will give TMR a spin during a tick and bob audit afternoon..... has to be the longest 1:41 to open an album ever
  2. i could open it and quote it for you DC Tom...
  3. you know that replay solves some problems but still can't get it right, if you believe the replay reviewers are agenda-free to begin with interrupting the game to see if a goal was scored is good, going back to see if it was a foul deserving of a penalty makes it worse than before
  4. i never figured it out, i got hooked when i was 7 or so watching my first FA Cup on TV around 1973, and fell into that notch that took it for what it was and never wanted to change it only losing interest as DAZN snaked away the Champions League and International Midweek Games last year, and have snaked away the English Premier League from Canadian cable AlJezeera bought the rights to the Spanish game a few years ago and wouldn't sell it to North America, but it wound up on BeIn TV after a few years. -------------------------------------- you can get away without watching the sport, you just say a few vague things (find the score, the historical pattern of England choking and such) and nobody really challenges you on it like I would if you said you watched an NFL or NHL game... good scam....
  5. it's kind of different for a girl who excels at hammer throwing and the like.... this is a unique niche that isn't the same as team sports;
  6. for her age she is aware of what getting a top NCAA scholarship is worth, but there is no infrastructure to help out with a decent plan for the next 2 years and a few from my hometown did well in the US, and have found a good career in coaching after college and the Olympics
  7. they do not believe they stand any shot of winning at all, so they can write letters to Santa Claus for the next 6 years
  8. basically, if you whine to people who love the sport they will smile and think you are a total moron
  9. it's nice to invite other countries within closer striking distance to pitch in for a change
  10. and for the 120th year the procession of non-fans sending in their "op 10 ways to improve the game" is resurrected if you don't get this sport, you won't, you aren't better or worse off for it in the long haul
  11. read it 1,000 times on here, just put some pressure on him, he will crumble :D
  12. nice to see that road games in the NFL are now taken for granted as easypeasy cakewalk wins
  13. yes, you can just hop on a plane in 3 seconds at your whim.... ?
  14. last i looked there wasn't lockstep agreement in this area they actually commented on the irony that the more they searched the more they disagreed oh.... sorry, that's an honest attempt at science....
  15. my parent's neighbour is a high school sophomore girl with a (track and) field throwing prowess that should merit her a full ride in a US top school nobody has a clue at the high school or city or family how to deal with this properly i have contacted 2 friends who have ties to major track and field programs, hopefully to start the process of getting her in better training regimens and off to a good school
  16. there's always that next door you can't get through.... i read some article, i hope it was a joke about a full-time flyer for business and his sadness to find another level to reach, which meant there were 200 still to go for more perks. Frasier and Niles tried this at a club and found one door that led to the alleyway and their dismissal from the club...
  17. i would assume we would be joking if we stated anything was good about it
  18. Sorry you missed it, but Thurman and Bruce were leaders and stars in college, Jim Kelly slightly less but still acclaimed as supremely talented This team has nobody with these credentials
  19. What do these busted fake news people do when checkmated on dates and such? they feel funny for a second and then they go right back to lying because they have no soul any more?
  20. Gold card means you are at bottom level 2 of the 1200 levels of exclusivity, climb the ladder Monty....
  21. He has lived through almost everything you could think of socially and economically and fame-wise, during very interesting times starting in the late 1960s
  22. Reasons why it will never catch on in North America a small core of fans will argue on its behalf but the obvious problems are immeasurable they have tried to force it on us for almost 50 years now, the problems are the same since Pele played for the Cosmos One overlooked item is that this is the game of the lower classes, the terraces and general admission, the uppers watch cricket and rugby. US sports fans are almost all in the middle if they can spend the $$$ to attend games.
  23. There was a TV ad show for it, then it finally clicked how disgusting it was and everything was pulped —————- The obvious brick wall approaching is that social media is nothing like an older man has seen before. Richard Dawkins complained about his pot of honey seized by Customs and wound up having to fight against a legion of people responding with “your a dick”
