steelmen

Finally back to Austin, so I have tickets to see the longhorns play the mountaineers (yep i had never heard of them either, they are from west Virginia) even better it is a works night day out, so someone else is paying.

I thought new coaching/play calling would help Lock… maybe not. Some of the int’s were horrible and straight to the defence with the receiver nowhere near.

As much as I agree they shouldn’t just keep piling it on, good luck taking it home and putting it in a bin that hasn’t been emptied either. Despite letters coming out to tell people about the strikes all but 3 houses in our street out their bins out as normal on Friday… most have them have just left them out there too which is weirder.

Last nights funny? Huge offensive lineman tackling his own running back down field.

loved the punt 'catch' where a member of his own team ran into him just as it was coming down.

75% of Alexander’s signings

that was funny but the security guard that sold his yellow tshirt for $400 because he had a spare one in his bag was my favorite moment.

its steelmen on here too... i have a lack of imagination. i completely missed you message, sorry. i'm coming back and have set my keepers.

I can’t wait for him to go for it on 4th and 15 from his own 5 yard game with 3 mins left in the first quarter. He really has something against punters.

i think gate sharing is a non starter, a bit like cup games the attendance figure is massaged to there were more comp tickets than paying punters, then there is police and stewarding fees taken off before you get to the figure to be halved. As Stu says above, how do you account for season tickets. what the smaller clubs would probably try for is changing the split of the prize money. From memory when Rangers died there was a change made to give 3rd, 4th more money. i am guessing that was reverted when newco finally got up to 2nd.

My eyes must be going as I keep seeing that as Oscar Pistorius and wondering if that’s him out of prison.

we have a policy here of pick your own email signature and i would say about 90% of people just have what their actual HR appointed job title is but a couple of our network engineers took their competitiveness a bit far. Both started as Network engineer, then one put senior network engineer, the other responded by putting lead network engineer and of course the other guy put senior lead network engineer.... so after much complaining to their boss (he must have the patience of a saint to keep them both employed) they were told to put it back to Network engineer. couple of days later the qualifications started appearing BSc (hons), CCNA... and of course they started complaining to their boss again and he ended up saying no signatures allow other than Thank you, *****

Fair play to the Stirling Albion players for releasing a decent statement, that’s not the tin pot thing…. What is tin pot is someone signing it ‘Stirling Albion players’ just leave it printed.

ill be honest i was fully in the camp of this is no time to sack him... blah blah blah but now i don't think we can afford to keep him. Sack him and keep lucketti and co. let them quit or follow him to his next gig. That will save us cash

it certainly feels a much more serious series this time round.

Schofield was awful for us, i thought he was out the league as i haven't heard much about him in a while. Do the 49'ers need the money from Jimmy G to pay Debo and company? There are more and more people saying that Lance isn't ready yet to take this team on and it can't be easy to cut a player who, despite his perceived limitations, has taken the team to a superbowl and last seasons NFC championship game. i can see a way that he is still on the team at the start of the season, unless they really need that money.

anyone know why some of the RED32 logo's are in gold and some in white?

Is the roll bar the bright yellow thing? I looked like that broke off early in the slide, I thought it was his helmet but turns out that was a dark coloured thing. The halo looks like an annoyance, having something down the middle of your vision must be off putting, but it’s certainly saving lives.

they do like to put that web link on everything. I must have gotten it on every single correspondence I received from them and the regulator I had one last year and because of the wife I had to reply to it (she's a lawyer and petrified it would show on her record. she's really smart about law but no common sense) i appealed the case to them because it didn't look like a car park as it was a waste bit of ground with sh!te lying everywhere, i was there for a very short period of time (11 mins exactly) and the penalty was excessive, £60/£100. Naturally they rejected my appeal as why would they allow it. I did find out that I was only in there for 11 mins and if I had left before 10mins nothing would have happened. The next step was to appeal to the regulator, but they advise that if you do that you forfeit the right to the smaller amount even though I was still within the smaller fee timeframe. i added that threat to my grounds of appeal. They also rejected my appeal and sent it back to the company. I got the standard letter demanding the £100, to which I replied saying I was willing to grudgingly pay the £60 (my wife was forcing me) as I was still within that time limit but i had no intention of paying the £100. week later they wrote to me saying it was now £170 as they had added an admin fee to it. Again I wrote back saying I was still offering to pay the £60 but if they insisted on the £100 or £170 I would be delighted to see them in court. that was September and its been silence since. I would have been pi$$ed if they had backed down and agreed to me paying the £60, but they obviously thought they had someone who was going to end up paying. The signs in the car park are gone now and it is officially a waste bit of ground

made it to season 15 at the weekend, so 20 weeks to do 14 series and now the wife wants to watch the final season with me... I'll probably finish it in December!

whilst technically true, the fact that Rangers refused to show him the contract doesn't help. Doncaster should have been shown the door a long time ago, he has been extremely poor at his job but he hasn't been helped by 1 club undermining him publicly at every opportunity. The whole Parks' wanting an apology can get in the sea.

It’s a simple tweak to the rules, you can’t sign a contract that blocks any league sponsors being advertised. Wonder if uefa have a similar rule, just cinch to advertise the European trophies (they seem to sponsor everything else) The vast majority of blame here lies with Doncaster no doubt but rangers/parks haven’t acted in good faith. Sounds like they heard what was coming with cinch and entered into this contract with Parks to not advertise any competitors to parks’ used car business (including not sponsoring parks’ used car business) but hey it’s worked they get to tape up all cinch signs going forward and not look pathetic doing it.

Course they will. It all goes into the one (small) pot and divided up between the clubs. With them coming second they will get a larger share than most. Let’s say they win the league next year, will they raise their own custom flag again? Will the they be called cinch premiership champions? The spfl have fcuked this royally.

One of the best in a long time

I’ve no real idea who is right and who is wrong, the arbitration panel can decide that. My issue was it took a judges order, during a separate case, for this conflicting contract to appear. The rangers board could have shown it to the spfl board way back when they informed the clubs about the cinch deal but they never. They were playing the awkward card again. I just hope the spfl have withheld their £3.75 share of the money.
