This is my understanding as with a lot of major incidents surrounding football at that time; Hillsborough, Bradford etc. the victims were in the wrong place at the wrong time and had it not happened that day chances are it would have happened another day with a different set of people involved I ju...

I remember watching it live on TV, for some reason they continued the broadcast. One of the abiding memories I have was of a Liverpool fan confronting police on the pitch and the English commentators talking about what they were seeing in pretty shocked terms. I think even as it was happening Engli...

Anyway, on a more serious note, that is quite a rap sheet; be interesting to see the evidence presented in favour; sadly, I now view these cases through the prism of the so-called 'me-too' movement where procedure and balance of evidence are of a secondary consideration to the accusation. Difficult...

Yaaaaay - more whiteouts!! Yep, 3 times to load this page Fark!!! We deleted a shed load of pages as that worked last time but appears to have little or no effect. Maybe a bored wipe is required 😡 I reckon a rebuild and an upgrade to modern software and hardware might be more likely to fix it, but ...

The real elephant in the room in all of this is that as long as the people who make money out of the game don't perceive there to be a crisis then nothing will change. I imagine the direct employers of players are very concerned. After all, they could well be liable as we’ve seen in sports such as ...

No they are still Nods - my Nephew passed out a couple of years ago, leads to some interesting inter family banter... This may be a sweeping generalisation, but the Marines usually come across as being a bit brighter than the Paras. It's almost as if the Marines encourage individual thought while t...

PR should just cull the irish thread, its 368k posts out of 525k in total that the forum has, 70% !!!! :lol: edit - whoops, soz but I viewed that wrong, 325k out of 5.25m, or 7% pesky forumming on a phone :frown: Yes - I wholeheartedly agree with you!

There's a custom game mode which simulates the online game but puts you up against bots instead of real people. You can use it to get to grips with the mechanics of the different types of online game as well as developing your familiarity with some of the maps. Its a good way for someone completely ...

That what I was thinking ( or some terrorist who does not want to actually hurt people ), seems a little more than an hobbyist playing where they should not, if it is a protest, then they will have to let people know what they are protesting against. If the goal of terrorism is to cause the maximum...

Not nearly as accurate as is advertised. I get the impression that it shifts as more data is collected? I doubt they care too much about accuracy, they're running this amazing scheme where people pay to give them their dna. It's the latest wheeze aimed at all the people who didn't bother thinking a...

That SRU forum was probably the worst corner of the internet I have come across, dreadful and embarrassing There was a lot of f*ckwittery on that forum but to be fair, there was also some decent chat about Scottish club rugby - I mean real clubs, not the artificially manufactured "Warriors" and "Gu...

I used to surf the scottish rugby forum in the late 90´s which got so wild (no mods) along with Jrp being a tosser thinking he ruled the place that it finally resulted in a total meltdown and it was Shut down.

Tom Cruise Edge of Tomorrow is perfect right up until the end. :lol: yeah I love that one too, there's nothing more entertaining than watching him getting the sh*t beaten out of him over and over again.

Was this the era that posters refer to as the good ol' days? We had a different level of madman on the bored back in the olden days. Most could be ignored as long as you stayed away from certain threads, Quents was at a different level. I mentioned to a mod once about how they made the bored more i...

Bring back the classic 3 test series. Imagine a series right now between Ireland and NZ... Rugby needs to move as far away from the cricket model as it can - or it will vanish as slowly but surely as cricket is. So no 3-test series against one other team - Lions possibly excepted but tbh I don't ca...

Thanks turbogoat, I was hoping we'd hear from you on this thread

Refs would have been asked all the time in the past how long was left. Most teams would have a rough idea from the previous setpiece. You'd have a rough idea from the stadium clock, but it would mean that you when you kicked out, for instance, you would be doing it in the knowledge that you had yie...

Due to the fact that the Lad is from Durham University this story is getting a lot of airplay in the North East. And it seems likely that he is just an academian (is that a word) doing a thesis or whatever it is that these lads call Homework. From what I gather he knows the area quite well having b...

Had a search and couldn't see a thread on it, so this PHd student has been sentenced to life for spying in Dubai. Apparently he was "conducting research on the UAE's security strategy" which strikes me as a particularly dim thing to do in that country without official approval. Just wondering if any...

I've been to Arms Park to watch Edinburgh, Glasgow and a few European games as a neutral. I think for one game I was one of only three Edinburgh fans there. I've never experienced any personal abuse but my god they are a plum of a crowd. Every single decision against Cardiff is met with foul abuse ...
