The Round Ball Game

[Beef Oven!]

Not wishing to spoil the fun, believe me, but The Round Ball Game looks set to be having to undertake a considerable amount of unpleasant navel-gazing in the foreseeable future and not for any reasons to do with the playing of said game; indeed, speculation is also already beginning to emerge as to whether other widely played round and non-round ball games might find themselves coming under similar scrutiny.

Whether there will be a fourth chair of the so far constantly stalled public inquiry by the time the outcomes of any such investigations are complete is, however, anyone's guess, but I suppose that the content of the concluding reports will serve only to add yet more to the burden of that already well overwhelmed inquiry.

If you want to discuss perverts, start another thread. This one is about football. Nonces are everywhere, its a societal problem, not a football issue.

well quite. .
of course in some occupations, those found guilty are , if well connected, able to return to work without any conditions, especially if their rehabilitation includes getting married.

whereas, for example, a teacher can have their job put under threat of redundancy if they have the temerity to live in the same house as somenbody who has a conviction for ABH.

anyway, and more importantly, I hope Gurney has a glass of something good to stare into the bottom of this evening.....

The Palace fans are usually quite noisy.

good luck to all forum teams ...

... how does "good luck" work if forum teams are on opposing sides?

[ ... never understood this "good luck!" malarkey. Doesn't compute. ]

Football isn’t just about winning

[Beef Oven!]

Blimey, Leicester are rubbish when they’re not using their passports and air-miles.

[EdgeleyRob]

Football isn’t just about winning

It's about the taking apart

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

Would love a result v Boro tomorrow.

One for Pedants' Paradise, perhaps?

Every game has a result, except for ones that have been abandoned. The result of this one was "A Draw"!

Doesn't the word result used as a slang term mean a positive outcome ?

[Alison]

in the context of this game I'd say Leicester got a result anyway!

[Alison]

Flipping heck, Palace! Hope Pardew remains at the club though,

Had looked up the Stockport result, not on BBC Sport, well done Edge.

Don't think much to the SC website - though most club websites are headache inducing in my experience.

[Bullock in D]

Awful, awful Wolves game. Wish I'd gone local to watch the Bulls 5-0 up at half time.
