This is the future. The 60 minute match will probably replace our 90 minutes come the next world cup in the USA.

Add that to my ball of seethe above Why on Earth would you have a league playing totally different rules to every other league, even different to the main domestic league in that country? It obviously completely changes the game--you can win with a team full of athletes because they can run themselves ragged for 25, 30 minutes, have a rest, and come back in the second half and do it again. If you have athletic enough second choice players that there's not a big drop off as far as skill, this is a viable strategy for a lot of wins. It's always frantic, always a hundred miles an hour, always a lot of direct stuff, instead of a natural flow where everyone gradually tires and things open up as the game progresses and various tactics depending on each team's player composition. It's been a complaint about college soccer for a long, long time. But the NCAA (as an American institution) thinks it knows everything so that's why it basically wrote its own rulebook. One rule that was thankfully removed recently was the "soft red" rule--players who received a second yellow could be substituted rather than the team being forced to play a man down; only straight reds would result in going down a man.

Stuart Lyon Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 PO wrote to me today to confirm they were changing an address at my request. Where did they send this letter to; the wrong address. Luckily the neighbour who got the original wrongly addressed letter knew who it was for and put it through our letterbox mid-afternoon. Earlier today I got a correctly addressed letter from the PO to say they had updated their records following my request to do so. Numpties. Both letters dated 8/12/17.

I’ve sold a few things on eBay, and had to give up quickly. first one I misjudged the payment cost and ended up making £1.05 on the item 2nd I sold at a huge loss (my own fault as what I sold was a collection of Uefa cup programmes that weren’t really that worthy. 3rd, a broken but easily fixable iPhone, 5 seperate people “won”’ it then I got the excuses, naively believed the first 3, reported the 4th (who told me 2 weeks later that he got a free iPhone 6 and wouldn’t be paying for something he didn’t want, took great pleasure in telling him he bid on my phone, and that as he didn’t want it that’s fine but his account was given a black markn(or whatever ebay used) as I reported him before hand) 5th was a beauty, item ended, payment received, about an hour later, “my son put the bid in” put bid in and then logged into PayPal and paid Me? Fat chance, sent it recorded delivery and kept the receipt and the proof of delivery and never heard from them again. For peace of mind Just try get th money or cut your losses and stop selling on eBay Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Some Christmas food and drinks at work today. Mid afternoon so no booze involved. Just a wee sit round and chat. The only problem being a girl I’m working with is Christmas obsessed. She has been wearing Christmas jumpers, Christmas earrings, Christmas hair baubles etc for the last fortnight. All she talks about is Christmas and her and her boyfriend have watched a different Christmas film every night before bed since the first of December. It’s like working with a five year old but she’s in her thirties. We’re all under instructions to wear a Christmas jumper. I’ve gone for a nice navy blue merino wool crew neck. And she will actually get upset that I “haven’t joined in” Arsehole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
