Re: Today i passed ?????????? Ground

Today I passed the ground of Asteras Tripoli of the Greek 'Super' League. They finished third last season and played in this year's Europa League and lost to some team called Rapid Vien (anyone heard of them?). This season they currently lie sixth. Clearly a massive club with a ground capacity of 76...

Re: Suicide

A man and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of encouraging or assisting a proposed suicide. Suicide is not a crime. Nor is attempted suicide.

It can't really be AK's fault- the chairman holds the money, so surely he is to blame for allowing Alan to use the money.

Re: Accrington Stanley v Torquay United - 2/3/13

The referee for this one is the vastly experienced ANDY D'URSO with the assistants NICK GREENHALGH & DARREN HANDLEY and the 4th official is KEVIN MATTOCKS. Are you sure? The league website says something different. http://www.football-league.co.uk/page/Appointments Where did you get your inform...

Conversely, we've dropped 15 points from winning positions. So it's definitely not as clear cut as you think.
