Starting out unemployed with zero reputation is the best way to play the game imo.

It's fun to see the young hot shot players of the game breaking through in real life.
Unfortunately young Liverpool hot shot striker Craig Lindfield appears to be without a club atm. Young Chelsea hot shot Ben Sahar hasn't popped up on the radar but he's at Espanyol.
Saw Chelsea's young player Stich playing in the world cup, young Nilis too playing for Greece.
Ahhh, no, screw you guys, I'm not going down that path again....anyway the game was waaaay too easy.
Use the editor and they are great. Like playing football God.

Genuinely shocking the amount of people who seem to have been devoted players of Champo 01 / 02 and didn't twig that the game has an inbuilt flaw which renders fullbacks as part of a flat back four basically redundant.

Originally posted by NewApproach View PostNo idea, but I imagine the earlier the better. The crowds are huge so if you arrive too late you are likely to miss out on the better vantage points. Irrelevant though if you plan on following a few golfers around. I'd be surprised if Samuel Jackson isn't there, he is a huge golf fan and obviously he does a lot of charity work.
I haven't been to this in the previous years it has been on, I imagine it will be pretty tedious. Big crowds + only one golfer worth watching per fourball + nothing for them to play for doesn't sound like the greatest combo for the spectator. Still lets hope the weather is nice and it's enjoyable!
It is a fantastic event for the area though, all credit to J.P., he has done wonders with it.Last edited by Aya14; 01-07-10, 01:58.

It completely slipped under the radar. Was in and out of the cinema within a fortnight. I've seen a dozen or so films this year, and this has been my favourite.
I think everyone should give it a whirl.

ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHhh
I fancied Murray for his first grand slam this year. He is playing the best so far.
Tried to back him on betfair last night, wouldn't allow me to back in running.
Fair enough I said. Somebody on boards will lay me.
Beat: Totally messed up the times zones, all the QF matches are over, odds obv worse
Beat:Fed out, that obv shortens everything
Still looking to back him, if any bodies interested.

I'm sorry for this odd request because it might get to you too urgent but it's just the situation of things right now, We're presently stuck in Scotland , we came down here on vacation. we were robbed, worse of it is that bag, cash and credit cards was stolen at GUN POINT, it's such a crazy experience for us and we need help with flying back home, the authorities are not being 100% supportive but the good thing is we still have our passports but don't have enough money to get on a plane back home, please we need you to loan us some money till we get back home to refund it back.
Thanks
Have a Fearless Day,
Joyce xxxxx

When did this happen Joyce ? so sorry to hear it. How can i get money to you ?
Oh...i'm so happy to hear you could help, all we need is $1,800,but anything you could assist with now be helpful, you can wire it via western union, check www.westernunion.com and see if you can locate a WU local outlet around you where you can go and wire the money, you only need my name on my passport ID and the country name here to wire the money ... use my below details for the transfer,Wire it to my name below
Name : Joyce xxxxx
Amount: $1,800
Location: Scotland, United Kingdom.

Lost a bit on the first few games, and the rest is tied up in goal scorer, winner etc
Logged on today anf there was cash deposited?????
Checked the account

lump on Djokovic imo, we'll bust Gimmeabreak yet!
I have even plotted the next leg of the spin"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Think i will just throw off a quick " i went to WU and because of all the scams they need to know what office you will be collecting it from, sorry for this delay but they are very security concious" obv they wont tell me, may take that line and see where it goes...i have an image in my head of Joyce being a black man holding todays newspaper in front of him...
Joyce, i called into the post office, i dont know much about transferring money, never done it before, but i went to WU and because of all the scams they need to know what office you will be collecting it from, sorry for this delay but they are very security concious, i dont know why ? I told them what had happened to you and i needed to get money to you straight away, so sorry for this again. Send me the name of the office in Scotland you will be collecting it from and i will get this sorted out as soon as possible.

Find some live street webcams in scotland and tell her(Joyce Chepchumba?) to wait by the fountain in the square so we can see her having the long wait!.

my best result in the most recent game was bringing Reading to back to back PL titles in 2014/15 as well as CL Champions in 2015.

Originally posted by Wreck View PostPepper spray most definitely will incapacitate someone, a mate of mine was once sprayed by a bouncer and he was destroyed for a good half an hour.
Yeah, seriously, it's not the Gardai's job to mete out justice as and when they feel like it, beating an already subdued person is a pretty clear abuse of authority imo. The guy is obviously a drunken moron, but the penalty for that is to be decided in court, and is most definitely not a punishment beating.
Edit: LOL @ punishment beating, ever see the spanish cops in action ? afaik, that is how they say hello !Last edited by oleras; 01-07-10, 10:08.This too shall pass.

The guy in the above picture was way out of line. So he got an extra smack, he'll live. The Gard locked up the situation on his own, and deserves credit."Worldly wisdom teaches that it is better for reputation to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally." - John Maynard Keynes

Originally posted by LuckyLloyd View PostI hate this type of attitude. Nit picking around incidents like this is nothing more than childish whining. Sorry man, but I come across people that espouse the above attitudes regularly enough and they are usually the type of people who would be likely to get drunk and act the fucking cunt when the mood strikes them.

And I can fully assure you I don't get drunk and act the cunt, and kind of resent the implication that I do. I don't think I've ever spoken to a garda for anything other than to ask directions. I will admit to have been involved in a few drunken scuffles, but in all honesty I've never started anything.Last edited by Wreck; 01-07-10, 10:44."I believe the target of anything in life should be to do it so well that it becomes art.
