  1. To the OP - completely understand what you are saying, but it does seem that LJ has learned his lesson. A slow burner like doesn't exactly inspire more people to donate, but im sure it was done in good faith.

     

    Well done to everybody who pushes the scheme forward.

     

    I have just added a monthly standing order also - mainly driven by guilt at not being able to make it to many home games.

     

    Please can we now sign the next Stevie Whitehall :-)

  2. This is a complete no brainer for me. Yes there will be some jiggery pokery depending on who comes into/falls out of this tier, but given the woeful state of most club's finances it beggars belief that it hasnt been done already.

     

    Just goes to show that football governing bodies are a useless, set of *****

  3. Fortunately for me, I don't believe in magic so will eat whatever I choose rather than what someone else tells me to.

     

    If there wasn't any food I liked at a football match I'd bring my own. Let's worry about the product on the pitch rather than in the kitchens!

     

    The first sentence of this post is probably the most sense i have ever read on this site.

     

    But thats probably another debate :grin:

  4. Well that beats all. "Let's hide all that pesky science!"

     

    This site is the best laid out and most comprehensive summary available online. It is updated and maintained by climate scientists, and is well documented with the real science behind this issue.

    http://realclimate.org/

     

    This is the IPCC site. The report put out by the IPCC represents the current scientific consensus in climate issues, especially climate change and man's contribution to it.

    http://www.ipcc.ch/

     

    The scientific consensus puts a very high probability (pretty f*****g sure) on the amount that humans have contributed to the current trend of warming. Let's put into perspective that Al Gore is alarmist, as are many others, but the fact that humans are contributing to climate change is established science.

     

    Good links

     

    I am certainly not trying to hide any science, i guess the point i was trying to make (and couldn't last night due to it being very late) is that there is no absolute evidence that humans are responsible for the acceleration in global warming. I concede that only a fool thinks that increased atmospheric CO2, deforrestation, and cow's farts have no effect on the earth's temp, however it is my belief that only a fool would think it is right to invest so much on the back of sketchy "evidence".

     

    I also believe that if we stopped man-made greenhouse emissions tomorrow (whether it be H20, CO2, CH4 or O3) the earth's temperature would continue to rise to catstrophic levels. Yes millions of humans will be wiped out, that is the nature of the beast (or is that the beast in nature). Admittedly this is based on gut instinct and acknowledgment that Man can only scratch the surface of our planet's heating /cooling cycles.

     

    Christ! we will be laying tracks to control Milankovitch cycles next.

     

    PS Vote no

     

    PPS as a exile living in peterborough can't wait for sat, there are 5 exiles here, and we are dragging along another 10 - should be a crap game then!

  5. We don't...... we actually have David Bellamy's source the World Glacier Monitoring Service going on record saying "This is complete bull:censored:" and that is there line to this day... Or it is the last time I check about a year ago when I had the same discussion on a different site....

     

    Claim and counter claim.... More like lies and more lies...

     

    Also...futchers briefs...is a good example how some one will accept utter bollox if it conforms to what the want to believe....

     

    sorry what exactly is being argued here? Glaciers are retreating as per usual after an ice age, i cant be a##d reading back on this thread, but if anyone is arguing that the earth isnt getting warmer then please stop.

     

    the actual issue is whether or not the increase in temperature is man-made or natural (an interesting philosophical point as man is a part of nature, so the effects of our industry are also a part of nature)

     

    oafc0000 as you obviously believe so strongly in this, give me a link to evidence that proves global warming is man-made (you won't by the way, because it doesn't exist - which is why the best scientist distance themselves as far away as possible from your sacred reports)

     

     

    I have a few questions for oafc0000

     

    1) are you just playing a rather fun game of devil's advocate?

    2) if not, do you accept that you a crazy fool :-)

     

    Anyway

     

    Vote NO!!

  6. Water vapour is the biggest in volume of all the greenhouse gases.

     

    whilst this is obviously true water vapour in the atmosphere is pretty constant, whereas CO2 in increasing.

     

    Unfortunately for the tree huggers, there is no proof whatsoever that this increase is man-made. Sod it who needs proof? Let's just waste billions of pounds (globally) to stop global warming - in fact whilst we are at it, lets also build a switch that allows us to turn ice ages off and on!

     

    Sea levels are rising.

     

    Vast areas of inhabited land is going to be below sea level.

     

    My ice cream won't last as long out in the sun.

     

    But guess what? There's sod all we can do about it!

     

    Please everyone, leave your lights on when you go out, fill the kettle right to the top, and take baths instead of showers - just to p**s the eco warriors off.

    • Bad for the environment
    • We can never sustain a car per person
    • I enjoy reading on the way to work

     

    eeeee i have been stirred to post congratulations oafc0000

     

    Bad for the environment? I'm guessing here that you mean global warming? Since it is still highly debatable that human activity can cause global warming, and all the real experts on the matter distance themselves as far away as possible from the scaremongering caused by tree hugging morons. (did you know that the real experts believe that increased CO2 levels is an effect and not a cause of global warming?)

     

    We can never sustain a car per person? i can forgive 1 throwaway comment that has no sound stats behind it.

     

    You enjoy reading on the way to work? i thought you were calling people selfish before, this is the most selfish comment in this thread.

     

    i have voted against the congestion charge for the simple fact that there is too much residential land-use within the limit. A previous poster has mentioned that his girlfriend lives across the limit from him.

     

    I believe the fact that the couple would have to pay to visit each other is pretty much a show stopper. Anyone who disagrees with me obviously does not believe in love :-)

  7. So altering polls on the clubs official messageboard is acceptable behaviour for a moderator is it ?

     

    i dont post much on here, but sometimes i am inspired by a poster.

     

    Yes i am truly inspired by the stupidity of the last post.

     

    SEND A PM YOU GOON!

     

    (respect to all moderators who contribute towards the only site that can take me away from big BBW.com)

  8. so do you refer to liverpool fans as hillsboroughs? regardless of who you support, your view of another club, it makes you an utter, utter dick of the highest order to use terminology like that.

     

    didn't realise we got munich's coming on here!

     

    btw - the reason no one calls liverpool "hillsboroughs" is because they aren't dirty, scummy, arrogant, pieces of S**T that aren't even good enough for the bottom of my shoe unlike MUNICHS

  9. Totally agree. Thought that, distribution apart, he was an excellent pro last season. Good player, great prospect, fantastic attitude. That's why he was made captain.

     

    Unfortunately, this is one of the reasons that he gets so much flak, Shez made the mistake of making him captain, possibly for the three reasond mentioned above ie Good player, great prospect, fantastic attitude.

     

    Captains should be great leaders, which Eards certainly isn't (yet). This put too much pressure on the lad, and performances suffered as a result.

     

    That said he can't even pass the parcel never mind pick out a blue shirt!

  10. I want an apology from hardy, he was here when the rocky was built he knows the disabled view is Pee poor and he’s looking for a scapegoat for his poor organisation in no designated family section and poor information and structure in moving fans from the lookers over etc.

     

    Couldn't agree more with that!

  11. Whoever as written that article on the OS should be ashamed of themselves, as should any fan who complained about bad language. I can't be a***d explaining my points, as 90% of our fans know its ridiculous.

     

    Any parent who took their kids into the rocky on sat and wasn't expecting bad language is a complete moron - and if they complained i have news for them - swear words are part and parcel of society - worry about things worth worrying about!

     

    Obviously the Wheelchair section needs looking at, but if people sat in wheelchairs can't see when people stand up, alterations need making, trying to make people sit down is not a solution that will work, and is unfair to the paying customer who sits in a wheelchair.

     

    I'm really p****d off about this article, as you can probably tell.

  12. As I've pointed out before, it's simple really. Look at the map and Oldham is neither in the North nor the West. It's always described as the North West, but this is erroneous. See the link spouting about it being in the North West and then look at the map, which contradicts the text. The two bits on the top left are the North West, the two on the top right are the Nrth East. The bottom right is the South East and the bottom left the South West. that leaves the three bits in the middle as the Midlands.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_West_England

     

    When the Met Office weather forecaster talks about the North West on TV, he/she points at the area North and South of the Lake District. When they talk about Oldham and Rochdale they refer to it as the foothills of the Pennines

     

    haha what the bejesus are you talking about man?

     

    1) Anyone who uses Wikipedia to make a point, should be given short shrift.

     

    2) When you do use it to make a point, at least make sure it actually backs you up - it clearly states that Greater Manchester is in the south of the North West.

     

    3) This whole arguement is daft, because last time i checked weather systems had no respect for political boundaries.
