Something sad, yet kinda funny (and never seen before on a soccer pitch probably!) Nouma fired after crude gesture As usual, you can blame the silly French
And here I thought that this was going to be another thread about frogs and potatoe cannons --- well, I guess you could say it was about a frog and his cannon!!
The Turkish people have moral standards? Who knew? (Notice the team involved is Besiktas - the same team Keller stiffed at the last minute to go to Spurs. Stiffed. STIFFED. Get it? Ya see...oh, nevermind) Hey Andy: Do we have to change our ENTIRE vocabulary to conform with British useage, or just those pesky "footie" terms?

For example, there are: Baseball Diamond Football Field (okay, that one doesn't help show my point) Hockey Ice Rink Basketball Court Ping Pong Table Is it so wrong to use these descriptors instead of the more generic term 'field'? In conclusion, I'm just happy that no one has talked about climbing the ladder!
"It was not against anyone. It was just a private sign of joy" Hahahahahahhahahahahah. Thats a new euphamism, may have to incorporate it into my vocabulary.
