Mate, there are posters here extending the olive branch to you in this debate, but you keep knocking it away and ploughing on.

If you like black comedy, try “How to get to Heaven from Belfast” on Netflix. Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea, but I enjoyed it. Same writer as Derry Girls. I love the Irish, particularly Northern Irish, accents.

If what Segacic Snr says is true regarding comms, or rather lack thereof, from Popovic after the Sept 25 window, then that is very poor management.

Fair point. Although taking a minute or two to confirm a fact and post the correction is not a big imposition on my time when I’m enjoying my morning coffee looking out at the trees and bushland.

Just to correct another Decentric “fact”, the Belgian Pro League is 40 games for the top 12 clubs, and 36 games for the bottom 4 clubs.

I know Decentric won’t see this because he has blocked me, but I can only say that disagreeing with his often strident assertions and correcting his (frequent) factual errors is not negative, pedantic and “gotchya” but is part of any debate.

Not a big crowd at Sassuolo v Frosinone. 3 pm kickoff on a weekday though, and its probably hot. The (presumably) eastern stand is totally empty, it is in the sun though.

I understand what you are saying, but I don't think it matters. It's not like the HGH made him into a 2 metre goliath who was a faster sprinter than Usain Bolt, could leap like a high jumper and had muscle/twitch fibre development that allowed him to strike a ball at 130 km/h. Ultimately he was...

Agree. Signing Aldred again, who's nearly 36 and was poor in his last season at Brisbane two years ago, illustrates the lack of ambition, lack of money to spend, and lack of character/charisma that the club has.

I think you missed the joke.

My understanding is that both of Volpato’s parents are Australian-born with Italian-born grandparents. So both Volpato and Arena are the “same amount” of Australian.

1. Dunno who she is 2. (5 minutes later) After doing a bit of research on her I have to say that suggesting she be strung up from the nearest tree is somewhat extreme.

I know it's been the case for a long time and unlikely to change (and probably there is not real push for it to change), but I've never been entirely convinced that being eligible to play for a country based on grandparents nationality is appropriate. It just seems like too big a jump to be able...

Also able to deftly manoeuvre the clutch pedal.

I remember John Coyne of Brisbane City (father of Chris Coyne) in the early NSL days. When I was 18 I played my first reserve team game against Brisbane City reserves, and John Coyne played for Brisbane City because I think he was coming back from injury or had been dropped from the first team...
