Yea.. never seems ready when chances come, great one or two touch passing and should have had probably another 2

Odoi has some great pace, keeping Perth on the back foot all the time...

1-0 up at Perth after 5 minutes... worked well down the left from Odoi who crossed in for Pedro to guide in..

I think there may have been a large amount of people that just took it for granted that we would remain so didn't feel the need to put themselves out..

Yea I can imagine... Not nice to have it at any age but worse when you think you would be young and fighting fit... Got to take it easy and try and work back to normal, Frustrated the hell out of me when I had it.. moving around so slowly, scared to twist or bend in case it went again.. even sitting down was a 5 minute job and then it was monumental effort to get back up again.. if I dropped something on the floor that's where it stayed... I remember the first time I did it and I needed help with getting my jeans and socks on and all that and you feel like a useless idiot.. I got my self settled in bed on the first night and something woke me in the early hours and I wanted a piss.. I shit you not it took me about 15 minutes to inch my way up into a sitting position and by the time I had done that I was so worried it would go again while trying to get up I just gave up and inched my way back down into the laying position.. I thought fuck it, if I piss the bed I piss the bed it was that bad.. lucky for me I managed to nod back off and all was well...

You have my sympathies... Had a couple of back issues a while back that were painful/ambulance related but not anything that involved surgery fortunately and until you have a serious back issue no-one can tell you just how much pain that is to go through.. How old are you Rick if you don't mind me asking??

This is getting really interesting... I am loving Kelly Reilly's character Beth... The Female of the Species is more deadly than the Male seems to apply here by the bucket load...

I believe that a country's people have a right to have a say in all things that will affect them, I also believe that the general public are not all fully equipped to make sound decisions when they have no real knowledge of the potential impact that such decisions bring to the table.. but that's what politicians are there for in the first place, to do their best to carry out the wishes of the people but we all know it doesn't work like that. This Leave/Remain debate became such a hot potato that as has already been mentioned earlier in the thread that they took the Fat Sam approach to it... Let the public decide then they were effectively absolved of the real responsibility for what happens next, Given that it has taken so long even to get to this point and the fallout that is still continuing over it I have to wonder if even the best ones out there with all the knowledge and know how are capable of negotiating something that is workable..

That's not uncommon though is it... You have to look past all the silly scaremongering and try and pick your way through what really matters most but a very large percentage of the public are driven by what they read and what they see on a daily basis.. Sadly our education system does not allow for a broader understanding of such matters... spoon feed the masses enough rubbish on regular basis and they will pretty much swallow anything.. The truth is they are appealing to their emotions because trying to explain the pros and cons so that the majority of the public have a full and better understanding of whats involved would take far to long if such a thing was even possible...The Witch Hunt rules are applied... Don't really need to go into detail if you can just start shouting Witch! Witch! in a loud enough voice enough times before the angry mob is following behind pitchforks and burning torches in hand.. Prior to joining we were being informed that failure to get on board would effectively leave us just a barren wasteland with no hope for the future... The Daily Mirror even went as far as to say 'we would become mere lookers-on from an offshore island of dwindling insignificance' if we failed to join so even then the same manipulations were taking place... Scare enough people into thinking we will be nothing if we were not part of it then of course people are going to clambering to get on board... The reverse has now been applied to get just enough people to vote leave.

I once did a gym/swim combo which I thought would be good and spent about an hour and a bit in the gym putting in a lot of effort and then trotted off for my nice cool relaxing swim... About 20 minutes in my body just gave up as I was reaching the deep end and ended up just making it to the edge.. I was hanging on like someone had just been turfed overboard and found a bit of driftwood to hold onto.. Fuck that, shocked me how quickly my body just caved.. Never again, I completely underestimated how much physical effort goes into swimming... The two don't make a for a good combination..

Great news, all's well that ends well... for them and their families at least... Outstanding effort by all involved...

The fact that the club has stalled on any kind of comment at all does not bode well... They have not rushed out to back Conte which is hardly a ringing endorsement is it and they have allowed rumour and speculation to rear it's ugly head in every dark corner across the the whole of the summer so where does that leave us?? They said they would be making an announcement about Conte's future at the end of the season? have we rushed in too early as fans and stupidly assumed it would be this season?? Maybe they were talking about next season.. of course I jest It's possible that Conte has played a blinder saying if you want me out then you have to pay the whole whack and nothing less which is estimated to be around 9Mill if you believe what they are reporting and the club may have tried to bluff him out on a lower package and failed which means he will stay to see out his contract. It's also possible that this so called deal with Sarri which has been hanging around like a bad smell may have also been kicked into touch due to the compensation factor. The club could have been looking at around 14Mill just to change Managers ( if indeed that was always the plan ) and probably something they were hacking away at to bring down to as little as possible before pushing anything concrete through.. I am also curious where this would leave Sarri if Conte is indeed going to stay? Ancelotti's appointment seemed to trigger that Sarri was well on his way out and might have led us to believe that some deal had been struck already and that only the finer points needed ironing out but if Conte stays then what happens to Sarri?? Not that I should be overly concerned about him in particular but the whole will he/won't he saga has just left everyone shaking their heads... I understand that there was a little disharmony over training as well, with players reporting back on Saturday and Conte telling staff not to come back until Monday and of course all the players ( of which some have already voiced their opinions ) will not be keen on returning if Conte is still there which just throws another stink bomb in an already overcrowded lift... So you feel some moves are just destined to happen, mostly going out with very little in the way of inward transfers.. So unprofessional the way the club have handled things so far this season and does not invoke much confidence for the coming season..

They have been saying that every fucking week... It's all such a cluster fuck.. Stay or go, stick with or replace just make an announcement of some sort for gods sake and put the fans, the players and any potential recruits out of their misery will ya!!! What a bunch of Muppets...

I believe they are bringing out the weakest first and they have been flown or taken straight to hospital where they are being checked over for any infections and such like before they are being given the all clear.. The parents are just having to wait it out until they give the ok but must at least be relieved they are out and alive at this point..

Just catching up with the news now... Going well, Hopefully it will all be done by tomorrow..

Lets see how many they can get out today.. Going on yesterday this could take at least 3 or more days to complete..

I thought it was just about right... gets all the main characters in, explores them a bit without going into too much detail and the ending has set the tone now for whats to follow.. A crashing start and a sombre ending.. Such beautiful scenery! You cant help but think we all have a little cowboy in us somewhere... I don't get to ride a horse across such vast plains but I do get to ride a bike.. plenty of alone time if I want and able to travel great distances, It's the closest I will get so I will take it..

Just watched the first one.... Excellent!! Cheers for the heads up..

Conte is back at Cobham training with the players... Very much looking like he will be stopping on then..

I do hope them Leeds lot don't ruin Lewis Baker with that kick and rush football style they play...

Time to spare a thought for Saman Kunan who lost his life while doing this... A former Thai navy diver has died while taking part in efforts to rescue 12 boys and their football coach trapped in a flooded cave in Thailand. Petty Officer Saman Kunan lost consciousness on his way out of the Tham Luang cave complex, where he had been delivering air tanks. The death of Saman - a highly trained diver - on Thursday underscored the danger of moving from the chamber to mouth of the cave, and raised serious doubts about the safety of bringing the boys out through the cramped, flooded passageways. The diver died after losing consciousness in one of the passageways, said Passakorn Boonyaluck, deputy governor of the Chiang Rai region, where the cave is situated. "His job was to deliver oxygen. He did not have enough on his way back," Mr Passakorn said. He said that Saman's dive partner tried to revive him but could not, and his body was brought out of the cave. RIP...
