Oh come now ... you seriously think the marketing department at LFC is not going to sort that? I'm surprised it's not already in the shop - they're usually so prompt with any new "overpriced tat" innovations. Check the official site - I bet there's some info of when, where and how to get a "Special Edition" video or DVD.
Surely, only a shallow team like Manchester United would fleece the supporters in such a way. Say it ain't so Matt.
I was joking but I'll check to see if I haven't taped over that. To a real fan it's free, I can't see using the forum as a sales tool. I'll check though, I usually leave a tape in the machine for all purpose use. TV shows, movies, footie and Americas Cup racing. So quality wouldn't be the best. I'll get back to you.
NO WAY. Another America's Cup fan who lives in the states? I've never even met one . . . Are you as outraged as I am that our cup now resides in a landlocked European country? I have been fuming about that since the beginning of the regatta, and those bastards actually won . . . Sorry to drag this off topic, but I am pretty excited to know there are more like me in this odd country of ours. (I am wearing my Stars & Stripes shirt today too. Another strong showing from DC this time. *sigh*)
The good news is, I still have it…most of it! The not so good news is, I don’t have it all. I usually set up the recorder when I go out to work and there were 3 games that day. Lazio vs Wisla. The Scum vs the Thugs, as someone eloquently billed ManU and Leeds. And West Ham vs Spurs. I screwed up on the start time and it started in the 40th minute. Your call. hang on super elf...!
We’d better start our AC thread here. Sh1t if they can do an MLS one we can get ours..Got as much to do about football.. "Ducks for cover." Seattle’s a great place to sail and race. I worked foredeck on our quarter tonner [25 feet] At 6-2 and 220lb we raced bow down a lot! Love America’s Cup, Love NZ, my two daughters are kiwis and send me all the goodies. So I wear my all black shirts with the silver fern logo and their AC cap. Got mixed feelings about the cup moving..like where the hell are they going to race it, as well as the sellout buy the unprincipled principles…! Let’s rate them. Gotta keep the footy line going! NZ……Liverpool. Alighi…Manure…everybody hates them. DC……Leeds (Can’t stand the ‘bullfrog’) GBR...Southhampton! Got to save it from relagation. Go for it..
I don't know. I know you don't like Dennis much, but he's more like Liverpool than any of the rest of them. Used to have a lot of flair and style, won everything in sight in the 70s and 80s, then kind of drifted off in the 90s. Looked poised for a big resurgence (NYYC), and dropped the ball. Looks like our team capsule in a nutshell. The Kiwis are more like the Gunners. Didn't do much of squat for the longest time, came out in the early 90s like a house on fire, and started winning left and right through the late 90s early 00s. I fully agree with your Alinghi comparison. Before this year I would have found it hard to believe that one syndicate could draw such universal distaste from the yachting community. This is a fun game. Paul Cayard = Terry Venables Ed Koch = Kevin Keegan Ted Turner/Larry Ellison = Mohamed Al Fayad On an aside, did you see they released the Protocol for the next AC already, and there is a fleet race at the beginning that will somehow count towards the challenger series?!? I declare shenanigans! They also loosened nationality requirements and technology sharing rules. Surprise. *awaiting my yellow card for posting wildly off topic*
A fleet race to start the series, how interesting. I suppose the defender would be included to race against the challenging fleet....!!!! *Yellow, Nah, Not if they've got MLS in here too*
Yes, that's exactly what they intend. "The regatta format will include pre-regattas beginning as early as the summer of 2003, and include fleet races involving the Defender before the America’s Cup proper. The Protocol envisions the America’s Cup beginning with a fleet race to determine (along with the results of previous regattas) seeding for a Round Robin elimination series. At least the top eight Challengers will survive the Round Robins and advance through to a knock-out series to select the eventual Challenger." http://louisvuittoncup.yahoo.com/story2171.html Lots of, erm, interesting stuff there. We should have expected nothing less from the Swiss though. The purist in me will likely be grumbling for the next 3 years . . .
Great boat racing thread guys, I for one, would like to watch the Worthington Cup Match. I have 2 VCR's -- send me your Worthington tape, or a copy of it, and in return, I can offer you a copy of one of the following tapes. FA Cup Final Owen 2-1 Arsenal Fowler's Hot 100 Any of the USA's matches for WC 2002 A few USA qualifiers from 2001 World Cup Final, 1970 (may not copy well) A few other miscellaneaous goals tapes. And this just in, a reading of the new Beckham book, "My Mums a bit thin and Me Dad's a bit Thick" by Brooklyn Beckham Bryan
If I were to send you a blank tape, and a little green note to help grease the wheels of capitalism, would I be able to get my hands on that little gem?
hey usscouse I intially asked for the tape. I wouldn't mind the tape even if it starts in the 40th minute could you please reply me at iyaevelyn@aol.com so we can set something up.
Thanks for you PM but I gave the tape to a polish fan before I got your note. I couldn't see charging for it. Sorry. Found a great tape (Behind the TV) while I was trying to sort my spares. How about Liverpool-6 ... Arsenal-1...! And Grobelar saved a PK. Featured with USA 4 ... Germany 3. It was a little dusty.
I guess even an old purist like me has to accept the fact that "some things do change" (I still feel that you belong to the country you were born in though! Football too.) It doesn't all look bad though, Having one ruling body should help, don't know about the monopoly for sales items (Fixed "High" prices) More.. http://americascup.yahoo.com/story2163.html Waiting, wondering where it will be held. How about Lake sailing...??? I'll watch whatever they do, love the sailing. Haven't been out since last October when three of us old farts rented a 30 foot Catalina and sailed the Puget Sound for 10 days. What fun...!!!
Certainly. drop me a note.... usa1950@usa.com Bryan Pleae note, that I have the bad habit of checking my e-mail about as often as Smicer is effective, so if I don't reply the next day, don't worry.
