I love em.............it really shows what a bunch of ignorant ill mannered Police we have............

Spot on Red..........i believe Possession'' has largely killed all the excitement in the modern game....short pass forward...short square pass...then a short back pass...then start again....how can this compare ...with a long Pass down either wing then a mad chase....being won by the attacker.....who high crosses into the opponents penalty area where the 'Keeper'' leaps and catches it while being shoulder charged by the centre forward....then a defender ''Chins'' an attacker (does'nt slap him with his make up bag)..attacker stays on his feet (don't lay down writhing holding his face)......Ref

These are the 5 windows (Andover road Bestwood estate) i used to dress every 2 weeks as a 15/16 year old in 60/61.........This was the Marsdens store which sadly has stood empty for many years....

Well done @dj360.....keep at it mate....never was much of a swimmer......no chance now anyway... with the breathing hole'' in me neck........i usually feel better after my short bike rides in the mornings......but for some reason feel knackered this morning.....think i pushed me sen a bit too much...

One very well known lifter once said to me......''come on Ben thats not very fair'''... after i told him where i sat and watched him....lol....... Funny thing is he's pushing sixty now and still at it i often see him and we have a laugh about the old days......sometime ago had a cof
