Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

No surprise here and Chelsea Football Club should apologise. Who on earth would want to be a referee in the current climate of overpaid primma donnas who dive at every opportunity and claim racial abuse at every opportunity. Mikel should be utterly ashamed of himself for claiming that Clattenburg racially abused him.

My mother in law is 77. Yesterday she claimed to be 74. We managed to explain to her that she was 77. My son asked her how long she had thought she was 74. She replied, "since I was 73".

doodlebug, wasn't it Ramires (not very fluent in English apparently) who told Mikel he'd been racially abused?

Whether true or not, from the outset this has appeared to be sour grapes by Chelsea players because of the decisions that went against their team during the Man Utd match. If there is a case to answer by Clattenburg by which I mean, abuse is proven the he should be banned from the game. On the other hand if the authorities prove that the players have deliberately misled to discredit Clattenburg then i would hope the players receive lengthy bans and the club a huge fine plus points deduction.

Cue Joe Say with his chip-on-shoulder-everyone-hates-Chelsea-routine but I'd say the same about any club.

Oh dear - Gaza rocket-fire kills three Israelis

Three people have been killed in southern Israel by rockets fired from Gaza, amid escalating violence.

It marks the first Israeli fatalities since militants fired into Israel after it killed Hamas' military commander in an air strike on Wednesday.

gaza do NOT want peace they voted for war by voting for a TERRORIST GOV HAMAS
congratulations to the gaza people voting like turkeys for xmas .
the rest of the world should stop feeding them .

Tanker,
It is better to encourage peace than war.Killing an animal is wrong... You are talking about humans and innocent people here.

Encouraging or starting a flight is always easy, but wrong.

Why these guys start fighting every now and then? What is the benefit to the people?

so answer the question WHY DID THEY VOTE FOR TERRORIST PARTY
why are they provoking war by sending rockets to kill innocent people

I do no you will not answer this question
as the truth hurts some what

and just for you when the hamas leaders get older they leave gaza with there pots of money to a new life
