Ha ha ha Very funny thread That made me laugh. Keep it up!

[Arthur Little]

I'm sorry to admit to knowing very little about football !

Join the "Club", Alan ... nor do I!

[Arthur Little]

... nor do I!

And yet, curiously enough, my father and brother both played the sport in their respective youth ... indeed, I still have a photo of my dad circa 1930s when he captained 'Bearsden Amateurs'. I believe he later had one or two "Senior" games with Dumfries side, Queen of the South!!

[Arthur Little]

Yup ... soccer-wise ... at any rate ... guess yours truly turned out to be the black sheep among male members of my clan!

[Arthur Little]

... how did we manage to stray so far ?

What ... the ball? ...

... in Glasgow, kids used to play "Keepie-up" in the side streets.

whats the difference between members & the women &her kids.? she not entitled to her money but they are? you would have a society like philippines with armed guards on the doors of stores.if she was working the state would be paying as much if not more for her child care.the amount of money that is available for the benefit system is never anywhere near claimed. you must have been to the phils so you would see the poverty, difficult to see why you want that in uk. football i do think the players are UNDERPAID @ alot of the smaller clubs in the premier league.sky has ruined the game but you cant do anything about that.non-league is a joke with ground regulations.

Thanks for your contribution - have I ever commented on members here claiming the benefits they are entitled to ? No I guess they are like me.

It's always enlightening to see someone who judges others on the paper they think they read, I'm off to spend my discount vouchers on the Independent shortly.

I eagerly await your input to a few other topics on this board - where are you on the Football ?
