yeah the penalty yards have been a real problem for the seahawks. its the one part of an otherwise exemplary defense that needs attention to. just watched the highlights of bengals v chargers. bengals kept giving away possession - not good. Does anybody watch CFL?

just watched the highlights of the chiefs colts game. wish i had seen it live. quite a comeback from 38-10 at one point i think. But i think for such a high scoring game of both teams their defenses must be pretty shit? Playoffs is pretty nailbiting stuff thats for sure!

that was a good result to the 49ers. for some daft reason i got my days wrong with the wildcard games so never got to see any, so im gonna watch the highlights tonight shame, id've liked to have watched the cheifs game, kinda been keeping an eye on them, looks like an immense match as well. Quite worried about us playing the saints, even though we have already beaten them, since after the atlanta match has shown that we can be vulnerable even at home.

Agreed. have to confess to only getting about a fifth of the way through the book before giving up on it Yeah capital is pretty straightforward if read slowly enough and if its done with a reading guide too. It was actually after reading Lockes An Essay Concerning Human Understaning that i managed to get the strength to go through capital. had to do the locke book for a course i was taking, it wasnt that the ideas where so difficult to take in, it was more down to the turgid style and the fact he ceaselessly repeated himself in the text. IIRC, he actually apologies in advance to the reader in the introduction saying that it will likely be littered with repititions, owing to him not editing it, but begged the reader to bear with him. Way i look at it, if he couldn't be arsed to proof-read the manuscript, why does he think the reader should be arsed to read his text! ho hum...Hear you with wittgenstein, in fact, id say most analytic philosophy is brutal as **** to get through, the amount of times ive taken to go over deceptivly wee journal articles to end up with no comprehension at the end of the pain, is pretty staggering. thankfully i no longer do any philosophy anymore....

there we go...

according to the spfl tv schedule no one is broadcasting it. So unless someone is streaming it from a hearts tv kinda thing, akin to what happened with celtic last week, i don't think it will be available to steam...

its hardly surprising that different generations of fans are going to have different notions of aesthetics. Given that most stadiums in scotland are about 2/3 empty i reckon there is plenty of space to accommodate these different notions. And specifically with partick thistle with the 'baby shed' - this is the first tangible success of the free for under 16 policy whereby for the first time in a long period of time, partick thistle are reconnecting with local people. And then there is motherwell with their young people having a big part in generating atosphere. Whats interesting about the moanings about both partick thistle and motherwell is the common element of their young age as something that is identified as a problem. Which as anybody with the most cursory knowledge of the demographic problems in football attendance would lead people to welcome as a trend as perhaps representing a bucking of this trend of general decline. As for the calling people neds and what not. what the **** is the problem here? reminds me also of the problems on the munroe thread calling people jakes, again what the **** is the problem there? Bit of negative stereotyping happening here with very little information to guide ones judgement happening here imo. Anyways, chill out, you're at university now, no one is going to take your lunch money away from you any more... sheesh.

thats amazing. love how they still got the bad spellings for lawless, doolan, etc

i mean fair doos its celtic tv and one would expect any channel of a football club to support their club. but its the sense of entitlement that comes acrross on this, when partick thistle had the afront to challenge the celtic. and then natural balance was restored when celtic scored which led that numpty to keep going on about 'knocking the stuffing' out of thistle. ******* triumphalist bollocks.

the commentary of this is horrible. is it celtic tv or something.

nice play. lyle looks good

wait 30 seconds it should go away...

this link works http://feed2all.eu/watch/230266/1/watch-celtic-vs-partick-thistle.html cheers jaggybunnet btw just close any pop ups and dont download anything and youse should be fine...

spent about 15 mins uninstalling adware because of firstrowsports btw..

getting nothing with that link ian. in fact the usual suspects wigwiz and crictv dont seem to have anything on it.. according to the spfl schedule there is no mention of it being broadcast at all. that cant be right surly?

TBF tons of threads on this forum, it seems, are on the subject of bad customer service. I'm half expecting someone to recommend watchdog on the box-set thread...

watched the first season and a half of the wire, never really hooked me - very good dialogue and all that but the characters and the story line didnt really grab me. At the moment, my latest obsession is battlestar gallactica reimagined. very intellegent sci-fi that....

Looks like it might go to the wire for the NFC west champion spot. Was a good win for the 49ers last night, which they really had to win after we lost to the cardinals. Worryingly our offense was not able to find anyway through the cardinals defense, and wilson looked surprisingly bereft of ideas.

LOL @ Eli Manning today...

looks like another matchup between the rivally will happen in the playoffs....

TBF - I'm sure comparisons between the worst areas in the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation in either Dundee or Glasgow would reveal similar things. The cliche is that football is a working class sport, but there is no 'is-ness' about it - football culture, in its class composition is subject to change, as is how social class itself is defined, at least within sociological indicators of what class is. For example, a lot of association footballs origins lies in the kinda posh schools we generally associate with rugby football - long before it became the quintessential working class sport, and longer still before than prawn sandwhich brigades., Likewise in regards to class composition itself a lot of the occupations that were amongst the ranks of a football support has changed despite there being some kinda trace of that within the heritage of the club that may not accord with the way the support are now. For example, the steelmen as a nickname for motherwell doesn't really have correspondence to the ranks of the supporters now. So its hardly surprising that within a football support, there is going to be all sorts of contradictions, and within our club, this probably gets articulated in terms of the question of whether we are a 'west end club' or a 'north side club' which reveals also locality aspects rather than north side or west end being merely signifiers for class. I mean at the end of the day, our origins lie in playing in Kelvingrove Park,but our success came about when we moved to Maryhill. According to the book the roar of the crowd- possibly he geekiest football book in existence to do with average crowd levels - it was when we moved to Maryhill that our support stepped up massivly, from being a wee diddy non-entity, to having crowds on a par with the old firm (really needs to be seen to be believed!!). We became a Maryhill club that the area took as its own. Obviously maryhill has been decimated over the years, but our associations is shown by the fact of us having a decent amount of supporters from drumchapel and cumbernauld - 2 areas that took a lot of people from Maryhill when it was cleared, not to mention the fact that we still have associations with many people from maryhill who continue to support us. Therefore, it does seem a bit bizarre and at odds with heritage and identity of our club to slag off the area that is intertwined with it - including the pubs that proudly have partick thistle identity at their heart and provide links between partick thistle fans and people from maryhill in general. We all have different tastes, i can't go real ale myself, like a nice ice cold tennents, but im not going to slag off thistle fans who do like that stuff. If we want to start thinking like a big club then a little bit of tolerance about different thistle supporters is in order...

RIP

It's crazy how excited about this match i am. Becomming seahawks and gridiron obsessed - once one tunes into gridiron i think most people would think that it gives soccer a run for its money in terms of excitement. Already thinking of tuning into CFL once the superbowl is done, just to maintain a regular fix of it...

i was thinking of the jaguars because of the jags connection too - also with it being probable that they become the london franchise, i guess makes them the local team. have to say, really fallen on my feet picking the seahawks at the start of this season. now top odds to win the superbowl, and totally romped the 2nd best NFC team last night... silly me got the days wrong and missed the game though which sucks but there ya go... will really start to believe if we can beat the 49ers on sunday, now that they seem to be getting into a winning streak. id really like it if seahawks could play a part in them not getting a wildcard entry into the playoffs be interestingto see if wilson can hold his nerve V Kapernick (sp)
