Pierluigi Collina says there has been talks in UEFA about a new card to be used in football, this new card is gonna be used if the yellow card is to easy but a red card is to harsh, like a card in the middle of yellow and red. its somewhere on La Gazzetta dello Sport: foto e video di calcio, formula 1, ciclismo, motomondiale

Now, wise GF. It has come to my attention that a certain forumite, who shall remain nameless [cough]Hatred[cough/] has negged someone for admissions made on the sanctuary of an amnesty thread, not once, but TWICE. I am not a revengenegger and generally accept neggage with good grace, but there is a line in the sand and this person has crossed it in my opinion. So i put it to the forum, forgiveness or retribution?

After becoming bored with the lack of games for the Wii & the fact I actually don't like or play my PS3, I've just bought a SNES with 6 games off eBay. I know I could have saved the Wii and got them on the VC but it was a impulse buy just now. The console comes with Mario All Stars, NBA Jam, Donkey Kong Country, Streete Fighter 2 Turbo & something else. What other games should I be looking to add to my old skool collection?

I got this recipe recently for 'chilli bean ranch pasties' and they are food of the gods. Have now resorted to making regular batches of these fucka's, but with chopped chilli for that extra kick! Makes 4 LARGE pasties. 1 tbsp sunflower oil 4 rashers rindless, smoked, streaky bacon, cut into strips 1 small onion, finely chopped 1 garlic clove, finely chopped 200g can baked beans 50g mature Cheddar cheese, finely diced a few drops Tabasco sauce 375g rolled puff pastry Milk, for brushing 1. Preheat the oven to 220C/gas 7. Heat the oil in a small pan and cook the bacon, onion and garlic for 4-5 minutes until golden. Remove from the heat and mix with the baked beans and diced cheese; add Tabasco to taste. 2. Open out the pastry and cut into quarters to give four 20 x 11cm rectangles. Spoon the filling into the centre of each,brush the dges with milk to seal and then bring up the edges to enclose the filling. Press the edges together to create a seam across the centre of each pasty. Transfer to a baking sheet, brush with a little milk and bake for 12-15 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Keeps me regular!

F.A.O all the W****** who are Brainwashing everyone with Rafa should go etc go and have a watch of the premership years on liverpool tv channel. Then you will realise how shit we have been for the last 20 years bar 2 seasons under Houiler. The media our after Rafa. We need to support the guy who as made us THE NO 1 SEED in Europe. Rafa's taken us back to the top. He deserves is 16 Million new contract. Who would have thought 5 years ago we were going to go to 2 European finals and 3 semi finals in the next few years. For all who want Rafa out be careful what you wish for...Jewel?? Scholri?? No top manager's gonna come to a club with no money to spend especially when you got other clubs with unlimited money. You guys should be focusing on getting rid of the dicks runing the club.

What are the GF's thoughts on this wonderous yet bemusing sport? I have been Youtubing clips of young ruffians playing the sport, but I can't help laughing at some of the antics involved. Could somebody enlighten me on the rules at all? YouTube - Gold Cup 2004 Final highlights Hahahahaha!

At what point do we really start to get worried? I'm hoping his form is all a reaction to the injuries, but then should he even be playing when he's desperately short of fitness and pace (he's looked knackered all season which is more to the Euros than hamstring?)? He's a shadow of the player he was last year: my underlying worry is whether his pace is going to come back, because he's nothing without that explosive first few steps. Or is it second season syndrome and have defenders have wised up to him?

I just heard an interesting one on QI. That when a plane is going down the Brace position is to save your teeth so you can be identified. If you suffer death which on most occasions is very likely. I found this interesting because if you think about it how is the brace position gonna have any affect on you chances of surviving. Does anyone else know any interesting Urban legends?

On C4 at the moment. I forgot what a massive, massive, massive disappointment this film was. With all the stars in it, didn't one of them pint out while they were making it that it was a bit rubbish. I hope Brett Ratner burns in hell. That useless cunt has never made a film better than below average.

Is it possible to buy a Setanta season ticket when viewing through a Sky box? I'm refusing to ever sign up for Setanta's monthly service after the hassle of trying to cancel last year and the shit customer service. However I'd be quite happy to pay upfront for 3/6 months viewing with no tie in. I think it's possible on normal Freeview boxes but can't see anything for Sky.

Hi All, As part of their coverage of the upcoming 20th anniversary of Hilsborough, LFC TV are trying to track down TV footage of the memorial match played between Celtic and Liverpool on 30th April 1989. Does anyone have a copy of the game or highlights on VHS or DVD? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Let me know either on this thread, via IM or by email communitymanager@liverpoolfc.tv Thanks, Matt

Liverpool and Everton Merseyside derby as spiteful as any game in England | Premier League - Times Online The Times January 19, 2009 Liverpool and Everton Merseyside derby as spiteful as any game in England Oliver Kay, Football Correspondent It is a global game these days. Some time today a member of the royal family of Abu Dhabi will give his envoy the signal to resume talks with AC Milan about a deal to sign Brazil’s finest player on behalf of Manchester City. At the same time Chelsea’s Russian owner claims that he will commence legal action against a newspaper that claimed that he wished to sell the club to the Saudi royal family. And, when the sun rises in Texas and Colorado, Liverpool’s American owners will ponder how to solve a problem like their Spanish manager. For better or, in some cases, for worse, the Premier League is now truly a league of nations, but there is just the odd occasion that calls to mind The League of Gentlemen. The Merseyside derby is a case in point. It is what Tubbs and Edward Tattsyrup, the fiercely insular shopkeepers in the BBC television series, would call “a local match for local people”. If you are an outsider, forget it. As Edward might say, there is nothing for you at Anfield this evening — or indeed on Sunday, when Liverpool and Everton meet again in the fourth round of the FA Cup. As football has gone global, Merseyside football has gone parochial, bitterly, bitterly so. Where once, in the 1980s, Everton and Liverpool supporters revelled in a unique friendly rivalry, these days they cannot stand each other. The atmosphere, once likened to a nauseating love-in, is now as poisonous and as spiteful as any in England. It is not as corrosive as those in Glasgow or in Istanbul or in certain South American cities — yesterday’s match in Montevideo between Nacional and Peñarol ended with 53 arrests and one supporter in intensive care after a shooting — but the friendly derby has given way to the kind of rancorous hostility to which this fixture once proved a welcome antidote. There is a certain revisionism about the “friendly derby”. Some say that it was merely an unfortunate accident that arose from the two clubs dominating English football, enjoying regular trips to Wembley, at a time in the mid-1980s when the Thatcher Government was doing its best to rip the soul out of the city. Revisionists on both sides of Stanley Park look back on the era of Scouse solidarity, the red-and-blue ski-hats and the chants of “Merseyside, Merseyside”, with a mixture of embarrassment and unease. They call it a myth. What changed? Society changed. Football terrace culture changed. There was also the Heysel Stadium disaster — with Everton supporters feeling that their history was changed irrevocably by the riot involving Liverpool fans before the 1985 European Cup final against Juventus, which resulted in 39 deaths and the exclusion of English clubs from European football — but the two clubs were brought closer than ever by the Hillsborough disaster in 1989, in which 96 Liverpool supporters died. While Heysel remains a highly complex issue, it alone does not explain the way that the rivalry has sunk so far into the gutter that even the ultimate taboo, Hillsborough, has been broken while Steven Gerrard and Phil Neville, two of the nicest footballers you could wish to meet, are subjected to vile, hurtful chants about their young offspring. The poisoning of the Merseyside rivalry is one of the most depressing developments of the modern era, but it is a microcosm of what is happening elsewhere. Supporters can sit in safety and comfort in all-seater, smoke-free stadiums without fear of being charged by hooligans, but in another sense the atmosphere is more rancorous than in the 1980s. Where once there were generic threats of violence, which might just occasionally be carried out, these days the idiots compose and belt out horrific and deeply personal chants at individuals. Sticks and stones? Try talking to Gerrard, Neville, Sol Campbell, Arsène Wenger and Mido. Merseyside Police will be out in force this evening, having made clear their intention to clamp down on and eject anyone they find guilty of what they call “criminal chanting”. If the threats from the police have their intended effect, it could be the best thing that has happened to Merseyside football since the 1980s. If they do not — and if the type of poisonous atmosphere, compounded by squabbles with the police, that some fear, is witnessed tonight — you might be advised to avert your gaze and indeed your ears. It is, after all, a local match for local people. And another thing United in skill and desire On a rare Saturday afternoon off, “watching” the Barclays Premier League action unfold on Sky Sports remains a strange experience, yet it did not need the manic wails and whoops in a studio in Isleworth to tell you that Manchester United would score a late winning goal away to Bolton Wanderers. It was the third time in their past seven league matches that they have scored the only goal of the game in the final seven minutes. History will remember Sir Alex Ferguson as a manager who created teams whose class and flair were exceeded only by an unrivalled will to win. The personnel changes, but the spirit and unquenchable desire live on. And that is just one reason why it has become hard to look beyond them as champions for the third successive season. Over to you, Liverpool.

The poll is set to private, but bear with me. I'm just interested as to what people have tried. I've left out Alcohol, Caffeine and Tobacco before the pedants start. I in no way condone or promote drugtaking. :whistle:

I went the walk in this morning and was put on two lots of Anti-biotics for a bad chest infection but went the game feeling like shit and now feel ten times worse. I was supposed to be reaping the rewards of a lot of hard work at Cream tonight but now have to spend the night in bed spitting shite up and feeling like my lungs are about to collapse. I'm fucking gutted and it looks like I may have to swerve the Newcastle game on Sunday. Are you lot fairing any better than myself and doing much tonight? Go on depress me even more.

"Red cards like that would be nice when we are kicked off the park"? WTF? "Keane should have been sent off in the first minute." WTF mk II? "We'd have won the game had we had eleven men". I thought going down to ten men suited them myself. Before the sending-off we were well on-top. I think someone is under-pressure.

Pitch an existing film as poorly as possible. Following poster to guess the previous film. "She's a young girl possessed by the Prince of Darkness. He's a bitter priest who's struggling to maintain his crumbling faith. And they're on a collision course for wackiness!!!" (Pitch nicked from some other site)

I swear every day it's a nap I will sit next to someone who: a. Stinks of piss b. Stinks of shit c. Stinks of ale d. Stinks of ciggies e. Is mental, or f. Is all of the above. And failing that I'll be next to the gang of scally birds who think they're fucking amazing because they're dead loud, and play Cascada at full volume on their mobiles. Fucking buses.

The thread about the Trafford Centre reminded me of a story I've heard about 3/4 times from completely different people. Some guy in work told me about 3 years ago that he was at a petrol station by the Trafforrd Centre and said he picked up an asian guys wallet and gave it back to him. The Asian guy thanks the guy I work with and said "you seem like a nice guy, by the way make sure you or your family aren't anywhere near the Trafford Cente on the 27th or 28th of December for their own safety" Seems highly unlikely that a ruthless terrorist would tip off a random guy who gave him his wallet back of the Trafford Cente getting blown up by Al-Qaeda. Anyway, I've heard 3 other people come out with this story (one person in my footy team last week) so either they are lying or there is some terrorist randomly hanging round a petrol station telling people that it's going to get blown up. Another story my brother told me was when he worked in the child support agency there was some bad slag who was on her 7th kid and trying to claim maintenance. They asked her to name the father but after being asked about 5 times she said she had no idea. The person said "You must have some idea who it is, we could get them to take a blood or DNA test". The woman said "Look he never took his crash helmet off so I've got no fucking idea". Some lad told us this in the pub, a full ten years after hearing it for the first time, plus i've heard it a few times from others in that time. Maybe she just likes shagging men with crash helmets on or loads of people hijacked a funny story for their own amusement.

Vanessa's fella is out for the season. They better make sure he's not on the phone to Dominos while he's on the sick or he'll end up the same size as Barry White. BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | Everton | Everton's Yakubu out for season And to top it off, Louis Haha's out as well.

There are things in place to install more average speed cameras and a revamp of the fines. 2 points and 6 points, meaning if your caught twice doing over 15 mph in 3 years you'll lose your licence. I agree that in built up areas speed should be controlled but I believe this can be done through education, classes and financial fines. I don't believe it can be done by living in fear and constantly being monitored by the man. I often drive home in the wee hours (having had a kip) up the M1 and I have to 40mph when there's only 3 other cars on the road. Taking away peoples ability to support their families will surely only lead to criminalise more people.
