Millwall 0 Leicester 1

[4-4-2]

I only live ten minutes walk from the ground so was pretty pissed off at being kept in until 5:45pm tonight.

Also, just read that Howard is suspended for the next TWO games (Colchester at home and Peterborough away). ****sake!

I'm not sure I'd want to be a Leicester fan in that stadium at the moment though, given the coin throwing etc.

Well they didn't open the gates to march the fans to the train, or those leaving to go to cars etc til gone 5.40pm, and we went to Bromley first before heading home, got back 20 mins ago as our SC coach pulled into the village, they kept the coaches there til gone 6pm!!


According to the coppers standing at the padlocked gates:icon_roll they were having problems clearing the Millwall fans cos they were acting up.

Cheers, good job it weren't pissing it down then!

I'm 64, and finishing a PhD. I like picking up tickets at the Uni for £5

What good is a PhD to a 64 year old?

Probably for the best though..

From a Millwall forum:

" No Birmingham affair but lively all the same. Doubt Leicester would have been leaving the ground much before 6"

Boys' games. Sad innit? Put them back in the playground playing tag wrestling with head-locks, in the park knifing their mates, or put them on the front line in Iraq playing with guns and getting out-witted and killed in the name of the Queen, or put them in a footie gang all tanked up and up for a good kicking ( and I AM talking Millwall here and their former stars who will remain nameless). Either way - it's not good and it's not clever and it's a stain on the game. 'No one likes us, we don't care' isn't grown up. But they cause feral destruction.

I wish football could rise above this Neanderthal level.

Fortunately, in Leicester, it mostly does.

Oops, I forgot the Norwich home game!

Siouxsie - thank God we have hoovers and can take our angst out on the carpet!

Come on then, stop talking in riddles and tell us what you are on about. Who will remain nameless? and why?

What good is a PhD to a 64 year old?

I'm a writer and international lecturer. I have two First Class degrees, and I never thought I needed anything more. But in the US, PhDs are like common currency. So I had to do one, and give up everything in my life to get it done. It's been three years of penury.

I should have done it in my 20s - but I was writing my husband's PhD. I should have done it in my 40s, but I was overseeing my son's Oxford Double First.

Never too late, BG. My IQ is still 169. I'm still 14th in the world top academics on verbal reasoning tests (and I just LERV stream of consciousness although I can't add up in double digits - dyscalculia). My bank balance is minus £30k. I've sold everything that moves to do this PhD.

My auntie is 100, and still lives alone and fends for herself. My totally uneducated paternal grandmother (who left school at 13) was reading Emile Zola in her 90s. Her daughter got A level French at the age of 85.

I'm not going to die anytime soon. So I'd better use the brain I have before I snuff it or get dementia like my evil mum, who, despite her diagnosis, still challenges me and can almost keep up with me, on the rote stuff she made me learn when I was 7/8 - like 'Lord Ullin's Daughter' and 'Young Lochinvar' and 'Sir Patrick Spens', and the entire works of Keats, and the total text of 'Merchant of Venice' which she made me learn when I was 14 and about to do my 'O' Levels.

Fortunately, her prioritising of rote memory, although useless for exams, is now helpful to me as I have to read and memorise academic papers on minicolumns, local versus global processing through the evidence of fMRIs, mirror neuron evidence in the construction of self and other, child development and Dennett's 'intentional stance', the importance of the pre-frontal cortex in cognitive saliency, the GABA chain and its effect on dopamine , the effect of cortisol on the hippocampus, the Triad of Impairments, Broca's area, white versus grey matter in autistic macrocephaly, myelination, neural pruning, and yadda yadda yadda. It's boring.

But in among the boring stuff, I care for real people. One is a mother of 14 children on the autism spectrum, in Leicester, and the biggest cluster ever identified. My mate Debs, in Cornwall, is a mother of 5, caring for a further 10 families dependent on her input through me to keep them going for the help they need. I have a mother identified as 'Borderline' who isn't, but is deeply Asperger, never diagnosed, and who is looking after and trying to sort out the education of her son who is so deep on the spectrum that he can't, even at the age of 17, come out of his bedroom, and has to be taught through a partially-opened door.

Yeah, I know the stuff. I have to do this PhD. But I want to get over it, and back into what I do best - helping parents and kids.

With any luck, the PhD will be finished in June. I really haven't got the money to take it any further than that. Like, I don't have money to play Season Ticket games. What I'm doing is, I think, important, otherwise I wouldn't have given up my entire career to do it. I now haven't got anything else I can sell.

Thanks for your interest BG.

I really do appreciate it.

FFS, BG - if you have any more questions for her, stick 'em in a PM and ask her t reply by PM.

I love your caring attitude.

How's your wife?

Ummmmmmm? Dennis Wise????

'Cos he's clueless?

 

[Innocent]

Come back Joe and Malf!!!

Puleeze.

No one here does whimsical funny irony, any more. It's like I'm giggling in a funeral parlour staffed by dweebs in frock-coats and stove-pipe hats, with attitude, and a sense of patriarchal ownership.

It's dead. There's a couple of kids who make me laff, and Macky, and that's about it.

Sheesh. This place used to be fun and clever, and good for an amazing laff.

It's now comatose.

PS

I'll never forget pandas on the drive.

I sent that post to everyone I know in meeja.

It was superb.

What's happened to that kind of wit and spontaneous fun?

 

[beaumontfox]

Have you started on that Lambrini??:icon_razz


Am I wrong to be having a latte but it's more Bailey's than coffee?

Nope. I don't do Lambrini. It's cat's urine. I don't think you've read me right, Beaumont.

I'm slightly (sorry) classy. I do Viognier, Marsanne, Sancerre, Pinot Noir, Grenache, and Merlot . I'm a wine buff. I care about what I drink and don't do spirits or cheap stuff. I really don't want to drink to get p***ed, and only ever drink with food and only at an evening meal. I would never drink alcohol in the daylight hours.

I wouldn't drink the carp that is Bailey's if you tried to pour it down a tube into my nose. It is a nasty casein and sugar alcopop without soul or purpose.

I hope that answers your question?

 

[LS6_Fox]

I've just polished off my third and final bottle of Buckfast. I'm going to have to crack open the mouthwash now.

Thought as much :icon_wink

Millwall Club Statement

http://www.millwallfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10367~1590650,00.html

Millwall Football Club has responded to incidents of missile throwing during Saturday's League One clash with Leicester City by condemning the actions of a handful of people who threw objects towards the pitch.
Such actions do nothing but damage the reputation of this club and its fans. It can only be detrimental to both following all the positive work undertaken on and off the pitch in recent years.
The club will be doing everything in its power to help identify and prosecute the offenders and would ask all decent fans to assist us by calling or texting anonymously to 07765 465 748.

I saw behaviour today which I haven't seen the like of for many years. I saw behaviour from both Millwall fans and from City fans (and from one in particular) which would not be tolerated at any other ground in the country. Play was held up when articles were thrown onto the pitch on more than one occasion. City fans were kept in and around the ground for around an hour after the game because of incidents around the ground.

The question has got to be asked - when are the Metropolitan Police going to do their job and apply the same rules at Millwall as they do at the rest of the grounds in their area and other police forces do at every other ground in the country?

When did that prat go to Iraq then?

 

[Siouxsie]

I don't think there was a single Leicester fan that was in the least bothered by the coin-throwing. The ¾ hour wait before being allowed away from the stadium was a bit of a bugger though.

That's really what I meant. From the coin throwing I was guessing some of the Millwall fans wouldn't be too friendly towards the Leicester fans when they got out. Presumably the powers that be had similar thoughts.

in our neck of the woods it is mostly rivaner's,reisling and auxerrois/pinot gris bottled-predominately the white grape- dont drink any more myself..
but from what i remember ,they range from sweet to very bitter(ebling) but a decent table wine,and also to drink socially.

steve howard out due to 10 cards means matty fryatt will be in- effective for the next 2 games. goals will be few and far between

good result aganst millwall who have championship pedigree, an now city past the psychological 80 points barrier.

cheers
