@Rab just sent you a 50 quid as donation. Do let me know if you don't get it.

You just stick to being bald ..he won the best player award at the last world cup, what have the others done?

As I said many a time, a £10 donation for TF365 is even cheaper than buying a packet of cigarettes, at least in here we can have a good healthy debate, laugh and take the piss out of each other have our tiffs here and then but all they are, are 'Handbag fights at 10 paces".

Maddison the best of the lot currently for me.

We have five "new" injuries at least (Lang, Augustinsson, Bargfrede, Veljkovic, Bittencourt are all doubtful) and no new players so far so one more loss wouldn't be surprising at all.

Not seen it. Can you post the link?

The goal is the bare minimum required to cover the costs of hardware/software licenses, anything over that will go towards marketing or will rollover into the next year.

All the staff go on a massive piss-up and we ask for more funds when we run out of beer money.

The last World Cup, doesn’t mention what age group...elite fishing

Yeah and then you can still get a ban for it as well

This is randomly amazing

The 14 missiles weren't shot anywhere near Tehran & were surface to surface missiles that fly pretty low (so they can get passed the US Patriot anti-missile defense system). So the missiles that were headed to those Iraqi bases with US forces weren't the same as the one that struck the plane. So yeah, the most likely answer is some inexperienced soldier panicked and fired a surface to air missile when he saw a plane fly overhead. It's possible there was something wrong with the plane's IFF (Identify Friend or Foe system) - the technology that exists so commercial airliners aren't mistaken for military aircraft and constantly shot down, according to some pilot on the news this morning. In any case, it's an absolute tragedy - because these victims are the real victims of the recent escalation in tensions. A few families, parents & their kids, were dead in moments. A lot of the people were Iranian international students in Canada that had been visiting their families over their uni's winter break. It's completely mental that Iran didn't put flight restrictions out the night they'd just responded to the tension by firing missiles at the US and they were obviously on high alert for any sort of military response from the US - delaying all departing flights out of Tehran for a few hours seems like it would have been completely reasonable to avoid the risk of innocent people dying. But instead they didn't and they took that risk... and a lot of innocent people died. Tbh when I first saw the video of it on twitter - I thought it was a missile that struck the plane and not a technical error. Just because it was a plane going down in a ball of flames.

What a beautiful passage that sums up the general British mentality when it comes to football.
