For no particular reason, at an early age I developed an unhealthy affiliation with the Aussies in Ashes matches. Otherwise vert happy to back the three lions. Can't see the winter tour offering much joy south of the border but you never know.

Philistine!

Of course not, they're probably still pushing Duffy as the only show in town.... silently.

So it IS about the glory after all. Good for you pal, I'll even shine your trumpet for you and slap your back so you don't have to. But if you take a moment to read instead of spout, you'll see that my own advice was actually for everyone just to wait and see what happens. Btw, it was sites.

If it still existed, I wonder what the official RST take on this would be. Probably just my age but I was finding it harder to hear the silence of the lambs anyway.

Good news and long overdue.

I could point you to a couple of other sites where this didn't even get beyond first base before it was discarded. I think it's the wallpaper tactics that give it away, you know, the same pattern repeated wherever you look. Me? I just keep the mind open and the Blackberry charged, just in case. (great put down btw)

Despite the evil on every side, I'm going to risk digressing ahead here. Bumble is indeed the man, a prince among commentators and madmen... but they're all great ... the urbane Blowers and Geoffrey reminding us what a spade is called. If anyone ever asks what it means to be British, I tell them to spend five days listening to TMS.

My favourite game, even above footy. Norris is your man for the cricket though. Probably draped in his whites as I type. And is there better entertainment than TMS, which has been on great form today.

Some explain it to him please.

You see, my point entirely. Here's someone who should know a whole lot better, throwing daft wee barbs around, trying to spark a reaction. Despite being admin however, this one isn't worth the effort.

Generally, I am the evil hand of authority, which is probably why I've little enough time for other hands. However, you will find that I tend to respond rather than ignite these contretemps. I'm entirely cool with your sentiment, now I see what it is. I'd go so far as to say it is not bollocks.

To be honest, I've no idea what you're on about, or the point you're making here. Are you issuing a warning? Who to? For what? If not then exactly what are you doing and why quote the House Rules? Perhaps you could be less vague?

Or you could just as easily say that a lot of other people have already been wrong wrong wrong as their default position to everything is that "the deal is about to go through". Remember Duffy? Remember Jim McColl? Remember King? Remember the only show in town? No? So where exactly is the bullshit again?

I think you've just answered your own question. Although, obviously, you didn't intend to.

But it mostly is exactly that ... bollocks. I don't know Wabash but, frankly, he's added more energy to debates on Gersnet than most. You might not like how he expresses himself but he's been right more often than some who actively seek endorsement at every turn. Wabash isn't the one who repeatedly take bollocks to the table, inflates his/her own stature and then disappears until it's judged safe to serve up the next pointless round of rumour. In that respect, I don't think he'd ever receive one of those private invitations to serve on the RST.

Would we have won the last two titles without him? Probably not. But if he doesn't want to stay then I'd rather see him go now. I've lost count of the number of heroes who left less of a hole that we thought they would and then regretted their decision to leave. I'd absolutely love him to want to stay but if he doesn't then thank you and goodbye.

Have to agree. Brilliant piece of business if we can pick up �£7m for a decent CB. Boumsong, Cuellar, Bougherra........ seems this is the position to make money from.

But surely our new owners will be pumping the money in faster that Walter can sign them .... no?

That's simply pathetic, way beneath you.

Don't you mean "King Kyle"?

That's not paranoid, that's just being observant.

Tell me where you're going and I'll drop by occasionally to keep you in the groove.

You don't want to know what I really think.

What am I missing here? Didn't I just post that we should all wait and see what actually happens. Now, in between manic bouts of self-justification, here you are telling me to wait and see what happens. Let me be blunt (and since I haven't been blunt for quite some time I might be a bit rusty) and just offer some advice directly in return for your "petulant wee child" comment...... fv*k off and stop wasting everyone's time. And before admin decide to send me one of their "hands off N_L" pm's as they have done with other posters, ...... don't bother.
