  1. GLASGOW, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Rangers needed a late own goal to snatch a 2-2 draw at home to Dundee United in the Scottish Premier League on Saturday.

    Noel Hunt shocked the home crowd with a 14th-minute opening goal for Dundee and Norwegian Christian Kalvenes made it 2-0 after the interval.

    Rangers pulled back a goal from Chris Burke before Steven Robb turned the ball into his own net with 11 minutes left.

    Champions Celtic face Hearts on Sunday at Tynecastle.

    The Bhoys have just lost 2-1 a late goal clinched it, what can we expect from a manager who mimed played the flute in front of the Bhoys fans.

    Oh well it is a long season :o

    Hope you didn't mind me posting it here Jockstar :D

    Good Luck

  2. It appears that yours truly has been given Moderating rights within the Football forum.

    This will not affect my relationship with my footie mates but may be useful in the future for moving threads , warning the odd Arsenal fan etc etc.

    I would like to thank George, Huski and Pat for giving me the chance to.....[Oscar winning speech sends the audience off to the bar in droves......]

  3. I wouldn't let one poster ruin anymore of your weekend or any other day for that matter, Mobi 1 kenobi, I like that name, perhaps it will stick.

    Don't let him ruin all the good you have dealt since bringing the Merci center to further light, I would suggest that perhaps the poster has not read all of the posts on this thread.

    This in itself exacerbates the stupid response the poster has come out with and should really be treated with the contempt it deserves.

    I hope the results for your wife are promising,

    Good Luck

  4. Financial or emotional?

    Financially and emotionally I am far better off.

    Before I was married my money was spent on 'wine, women and song', the rest I just squandered :D to quote the great George Best.

    Apart from anything else it probably put many years on my life expectancy, so it doesn't take much to figure out.

    Good Luck

    I'm trying to figure it out mate....How many years exactly? My single years were quite the opposite - must have knocked a decade at least off my quota, with all that Singh, lao kao, sing-song and late nights at dodgy motels. What's your secret Moss to adding years to your life pre-marriage? Guess practicing safe sex might be one of them? After all, who uses a condom on the Mrs?

    I guess you have mistaken my quote or I have not made it clear, having had long experience of my poor grammar I am going to put it down to my inability to communicate.

    I really meant to say that getting married has extended my life expectancy, as for condoms, what are they? I was brought up a good Catholic boy :o:D 55555555

  5. ok, for the sake of Steve I think we need to see some hard eveidence here Terry !

    Firstly I want to know why you want 25 beers from lacoste, how did you come to this figure of 25 and not 23 ? And I would also like to see how you calculated the statistic of you getting 25 coldies to my "couple" ?

    This about you being so freaking handsome !? Do you have in your possesion the statistics from the Department of Handsome Aussies in Bangkok ? Now be careful coz I happen to know the President of this said organisation !

    We also need to your exact location in Bangkok, this will enable me to log onto Google Earth so I can track you, then I will attach the link for everyone to see that your really there !

  7. I said I would sit on the fence on this one until all posted views were stated, I would suggest this is now.

    After reading through the posts, I still can't see a major mainstream of difference between what atlastaname wants and what is currently in place.

    Alright substitute a set of guidelines for a rigid tick-box system that enables you to qualify or not, but then have an element of discretion, this is really a counterweight to the rigidity of a tick-box system.

    There is already discretion in todays practices, in a tick-box system, you either qualify or you don't, this can't be reasonable, so intrduce a discretionary element, so whats the difference?

    Guidelines with discretion or rigid tick-box with discretion?

    I think GU22 argues the point successfully for why the guidelines with discretion is far more appropriate.

    atlastaname argues against the mood swings of particular ECO's on any particular day acting against individual cases, well it would be inconceivable for me to suggest that ECO's do not have bad days, but to suggest that it is widespread is almost as inconceivable.

    GU22, in previous posts, I will show my discretion and relate to them here, has stated % figures of failed applications this would suggest a greater number of pass rates, a figure that ECO's even on bad days do not fail applications for the sake of failing.

    In my opinion GU22's arguement is far more compelling than atlastaname's.

    However, I can't help but feel that the forum as a whole is a great learning curve, on this thread we have had reference to 'Godels Incompleteness Theory', a previous post to 'Occam's Razor', but I much prefer, 'Finagles Law', Anything that can go wrong will-at the worst possible moment.

    So my advice, read the guides and prepare, cover the bases and work on the discretionary rules if you need to and try and make sure Finagle doesn't come back to haunt you.

    Thanks for participating.

    Good Luck
