Dunno, new assist rules mean he may not. Shot saved and pushed out by keeper onto Luna for the og.

I think it'll be given

Rebounds
If a shot on goal is blocked by an opposition player, is saved by a goalkeeper or hits the woodwork, and a goal is scored from the rebound, then an assist is awarded.

It was a rebound, albeit off a defender

[Wesley Harms]

Al Jazeera sports ok for you tonight? Stream keeps freezing and site slow in general for me. Internet speed in general is ok for me, and other sites load fine.

[mdoug]

Glad to see Okore getting on, wanted him in my ff team but knew he wouldn't start - he'll get the assist for the 1-1 tonight and I'll sign him up

Yep, perfect quality

[KevIRL]

Benteke again

[CHDad]

Why has he played your two worst strikers in the opening games? I expect Moses to start again us. Will Hazard, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Lampard and Oscar play 3 games in 8 days?

Nothing wrong with 3 games in 8 days except maybe Lampard/Terry. I think he will play him too. Keep Evra busy.

I'd say he will go Cech, Dave, Cahill, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Lampard, Moses, Mata, Hazard, Lukaku.

Destroy the midfield and wings. Powerful striker up top. Should win.

Nothing unique, the usual collection of hamsters spinning wheels rapidly and never getting closer to the cheese. In fact, the cheese seems to be receding out of sight and nobody knows how to get it. Plus everyone is pretending to the boss hamster that the cheese is within reach. They also have their own special hamster language for conversing in.

You know the scene.

All too well sadly. There is something to be said for being a short term contractor and not caring about much else other than getting paid.

Do many people actually give a fuck about their jobs? I doubt that less than 10% of salaried workers in profit-making corporations do. Let's face it, very few of us do anything that could be considered 'important', in any intrinsic sense. hotspur might be one exception from here but he's clearly madder than his clients.

[hotspur]

John Terry still allowed to handle the ball with impunity.

When is this football over lads?

Did some lad just do a really good pass omg.

The Gazprom ads still freak me out somewhat. Like why so much advertising, for something I really can't buy into?

[oleras]

Could have been in here, not sure but heard recently the 3 things most people fear, losing their stuff, not reaching their current goals and being found out, sums up life !

[oleras]

Villa scores against barca !

[eamonhonda]

Pressed a button there in the jacks and my ass got sprayed with water.

in soviet russia, toilet piss on you

really? I must revamp my list of fears so (heights, Mary O'Rourke, snakes)

I don't fear losing stuff much, I do fear losing people

I don't have any goals really

Found out years ago

[ghostface]

Witnessed someone 40x open in 1st levle of a tourn today, would be nice to even run semi-ok against these people

[Raoul Duke III]

I think they're not-so-subtle propaganda. "Look foolish westerners! We can turn off the taps any time we please. Now fuck off telling us about human rights and other such shite".

Be extra careful if you use the girls toilet, one of the buttons is an automatic tampon remover.

At the basic level people are stuff i guess.

Waking up is my next goal, would be mighty pissed if that didnt happen...

Edit: 2 unanswered goals from barca would also be sweet !

[Raoul Duke III]

Collie, you have started me thinking about propaganda:

Soviet commie style:



Nazi style: this one is interesting in that it was recruiting Dutch young fellas into, yes, the goddam SS. They recruited Dutch, French, Norweigan, Danidh and Belgian divisions in the West.

And yes; the 'Irish Brigade'. Not something to be proud of.

[Raoul Duke III]

Upon further historical investigations into these Irish SS men, I have uncovered the following massively important historical fact:

SS-Hauptsturmführer Karl Fucker was responsible for organizing and leading the Jagdverband

[mdoug]

fuck you john terry and fuck you ref had money on the draw and benteke as ff captain

[eamonhonda]

dance acts picking up for EP, this is gonna be a heavy one

[Raoul Duke III]

<may not be real>

[MegaSin]

Football still on for the DCU tonight?

Jesus Christ...

Only back from this now. Got a few touches of the ball and didn't get sick from tiredness. Ridiculously unfit would be the best description I could give. Hopefully won't be as embarrassing next week for myself.

Nice to put a few more faces to names from here. Looking forward to the next game already.

Now to go and lie down in the shower

what you play - 20 min half?

Think original was loose lips sink ships.

[Strewelpeter]

Youngest Daughter wanted a new wardrobe from Ikea only €200 she said. no problem says I
Left at 6PM last night, borrowed a van drove up picked it up €200 plus 30 for diesel and 8 for the toll bridge then an hour in the slowest checkout queue in history not home until 10 pm. Then today I spent five hours putting it together.
Nine of my extremely scarce free hours wasted away. The actual putting it all together bit is weirdly satisfying at the same time.

Ah to be fair ya showed some nice composure on the ball, tough enough going into a team not knowing anyone's name - the 8pm starts are better for that as it's possible to have a kick-around before it. Hatrick next week please

I mostly fear random accidents. I'm often worried of slipping in the shower, and breaking a bone, and possibly finding it difficult to phone an ambulance.

In reality, my worst accidents in the last few years were

1. Sitting stationary (engine off) on the bike, on the sidestand. And somehow managing to fall off, breaking vizor/break lever/mirror some bruising. Mostly, just hoping nobody was recording it.

2. Some idiot ahead of me turning right at a T junction, turns about 3m ahead and then changes his mind, and reverses into me.

3. Cigarette blowing into a small space between my helmet and cheek, giving me a nasty burn.

5 hours to assemble a wardrobe lol

did you have to cut down the tree yourself or something?

[MegaSin]

what you play - 20 min half?

No idea. Think 25 minutes with a 10 minute break in the middle.

At one point I subbed off the pitch, this was early in the game now and went to take a breather. Sweating and red as a beetroot I had to sit down on the concrete to rest. Looked around and I was the only one who had to pretty much lie down after 10 mins

Next week I'll be a different player. Told Jam-fly that I rolled my ankle pretty badly a few days ago, but to be honest it was a fitness issue with myself.

always had you down as a dystychiphobic type

Symptoms?

The symptoms typically include extreme anxiety, dread and anything associated with panic such as shortness of breath, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, sweating, excessive sweating, nausea, dry mouth, nausea, inability to articulate words or sentences, dry mouth and shaking. .

Last time I did one I ended up with a few 'spare parts' Wasn't worth taking it apart to put them where they should be.

@ least you turned up - in the past I would just say I was unfit, which is true, but obv best way to get fit is get up and give it a go.

the astro games take a bit of getting used to. It's more like tennis than soccer as ur moving non stop and u never get a breather on the pitch as the ball never goes outta play. Getting used to the positioning o the pitch and the tendencies of ur teammates can help too, if ur familiar with that it helps a bit as u won't have to do as much running because ur more aware of what's happening around u.

And don't worry, I doubt u were in any worse condition than me after 10mins!

[ghostface]

Nope, just some local poker nonsense. 1st poker outing of the month, and last

I remember a pub game back when I first started playing, crazy structure, starting with 13k chips or some random number. Anyway, first hand, 25-50 blinds, a lad makes it 5k to go. One guy then starts looking at him and says "are u mad? that's a great raise this early, ten times the big blinds like..."

[hotspur]

Comedy at the Fringe each time I have caught it has just been a collection of deeply unfunny young people being embarrassingly bad at stand up.
