Regardless of his perceived ability, I think that it is had to argue that
Becchio couldn't be part of a promotion team - an integral part even. But
there are more than one of the rest of the current squad that you just
couldn't imagine making any positive contribution towards promotion.

Cheers Damian

Re: [LU] went into town today then watched Oldham v Everton

2013-02-16 Thread Damian Walsh
If you watched the ITV coverage, their penciled in line showed that it was
very definitely on-side - it's nearly 30 years now since level is
on-side. As for the 2nd goal, no Oldham player touched Tim Howard after the
ball was put in play - if you want to give a foul on the keeper then you
also have to give a penalty for the pushing from the Everton defenders that
also happened before the corner was kicked.

In actual fact it turned out to be brilliant refereeing - because I would
surely have given hand-ball against the Oldham keeper, and it took replays
from 2 different angles to convince me he didn't touch it.

Damian

 Class perhaps, but it was shown to be offside. Their second goal was

 Good show from Oldham and nobody would deny them a replay, but two goals
 given that weren't.  I suppose we're all used to it though by now, poor
 decisions week in week out. Who'd be a ref.?
 The only consolation is that all teams gain and suffer from this so I
 suppose their is an element of parity and fairness somewhere?

Re: [LU] play off gone ? Peterboro report

2013-03-13 Thread Damian Walsh
Clermont Foot last season. They were clear in 2nd place in the French 2nd
Division with 5 or 6 games to go (Top 3 places - automatic promotion, no
play offs) and they bottled it badly. I don't think the problem was
entirely the players - I think the club itself got cold feet and that
nobody from the President down really wanted to go up.

Its a terrible thing to do to the fans though - I went to the last home
match which was supposed to be a promotion party. Even though things had
gone a bit pear shaped, by winning the game (against a promostion rival)
they would still have had promotion in their own hands but no - you could
sense it an hour before the match that it was never going to happen.

I've not been back since. It must been worse for a true Clermont Foot
supporter.

Voicey, its true that we owe certain debts to Wilko and when we were

Thorpe Arch and then to applaud him. But then, as you get older you realise
that all that doesn't come with a cost. Often a very high cost indeed. How

players having only a further 900k that could have been spent in 2011
(wages + transfers).

2013-04-10 Thread Damian Walsh
I agree - and and don't know if that money includes the Yorkshire Radio bit
(definitely dodgy in my book) or not. But the fact remains that
professional football is essentially unsustainable these days.

I don't buy the overpaid players argument. Yes they get unjustified sums
but you know, I don't think that they've got either the organisation or the
leadership to have come up with the current soccernomics. I think that
football is riddled with major or minor villains (who probably all share at
least some of the characteristics displayed by Beloved Bates) who are more
than happy to engineer a situation where their rents or administration
fees or (is the technical term) bungs (?) go unnoticed. Did you see that
bloke at Birmingham City? Coming back to the players, I think that they are
like the pigs who wake up one morning in shit and are happy rolling around
in it till Kingdom come.

I'd like to think that AFC Wimbledon or that real Man U team are the
answer - and if everyone did that then football would certainly get a new
lease of life for a time - but I'll bet a pound to a penny that each and
every one of those supporters clubs already has something dodgy in its
financial setup, whether it's a few undeclared quid here or there (I admit
myself to having a black fund of about 20€ in centime pieces left over from
our football dos) or organised systems of backhanders to players or others.

It's all a bit depressing really ;)

The best live bands I ever saw were Darts and Hi-Tension.

I never bought any of their records (and never would) and I wouldn't have
paid to go to their concerts - but I was myself paid to go to both of them
(as a bouncer would you believe ;). Both bands were absolutely fantastic
though. Their music styles were different but they both had the knack of
instant communcation with the audience, whose punk or mod or soulboy or
whatever cynicisms were immediately forgotten in a joyous riot of bopping.
Even we bouncers tapped our feet ;)

The band that sticks out as the worst (when I was a bouncer) was Haircut

 - getting my first replacem

 Do you know Guy, I wish I had got in touch, but
 then we had a good deal of challenges going for
 us - we are both disabled - currently I too am
 having to use a disability scooter due to my knees
 - getting my first replacement operation next week
 by the way  and I had to fall in with Paula's
 plans too - I do promise you though, next time we
 will have a beer together and there will be a next
 time - we really took to Holland and Amsterdam as
 some on the list will attest to is they saw some
 of my postings and pictures on Facebook.

 WE saw lots of Indonesian outlets as you say as
 well as Surinamese food (is that the same?) - and
 we did indeed see Herring stalls, but Paula was
 having some problems with her digestion at the
 time and frankly, fish would have been over the
 limit for her.

 One place we ate that was truly great was the Half
 Moon restaurant ( De Halve Maen)in Sloten (just
 over the road from the Windmill) and we were made
 very welcome by a waiter there called Rob - he's
 an Ajax fan and we had a good time discussing
 football and dissing Eindhoven!  :-)  The food was
 lovely if you get a chance to go there and  can
 thoroughly recommend the Asparagus soup - that
 white asparagus soup is wonderful stuff isn't it?

 We'll try that other place the next time we are
 there - Thanks for that.

 An we'll also try the place John Lee has suggested
 to me, a sort of Dutch Beamish in a place called
 Zaanse Schans  But this will be a few months
 or even next year before I can do this as I have 2
 upcoming operations on my knees, as I said the
 first one being next week.

 One thing worth mentioning - a very kind Dutch
 person saw my blue disabled badge in the car and
 suggested a place for me to go - can't recall the
 name now, but is  in central Amsterdam, and if
 anyone wants to know I have it written down and
 the documents are in my fire safe - I went and
 showed my disabled credentials and car details and
 they issued a notice that I can park for free in
 Amsterdam centre for the next 12 months - no
 notice on the screen at all (unless in designated
 disabled parking, then the badge is required) -
 quite a decent saving - nice people the Dutch,
 aren't they?

 That's real dutch. And what about an Indonesian

 Eric,

 Not sure where in the world you are at the moment? That would provide
 direction one way or the other.

 If you want to work in the UK as a PM, you have to have (99.99% of PM jobs
 advertised call for it) PRINCE2 (P2). Most of them never state which level
 (there are three; Foundation; Practitioner  Professional) - and some
 recruiters wouldn't know there were different levels. If you want to be
 able to put P2 on the CV - go for the foundation level.

 If you do decide to do it - contact me - I can give you all the learning
 materials etc, but you'd have to book an exam with someone else.

 Passing a P2 course will not make you a PM - it will simply teach you a
 method and that is it, nothing more.

 If you are not working in the UK (or Australia; India; Netherlands; Denmark
  a few other countries) then don't bother with P2.

 PMP is useful if you want to work in the US or for a US company. If you
 were in the UK, I'd suggest you went for the APMP from the Association for
 Project Management (http://www.apm.org.uk/APMP).

 The PMBoK (PM Book of knowledge) you mention is the aide to attaining PMP -
 the APM have one for the APMP too.

 Happy to talk about it more offline. I am currently running a PM
 consultancy company - we used to do training too (P2), but got out as it's
 a mugs game. 25+ years experience running projects all over the globe.

 cheers,

 Andy C

I know I'm not the first to say it but I think we can afford to give Murphy
more (even a lot more) time. He was surely bought as much for his
potential. Anyway, in the meantime we've still got Tonge ;)

Equally I think it's too early to worry about McCormack in midfield. I
remember we hated Barcelona for playing Lineker on the wing (was that after
wonder coach Verry Terribles had gone?) and yet it really did make him a
much much better player. Fingers crossed on this one then ;)

Richard - you must have left straight for the airport after your St.
Emilion mail. You missed a wild night in La Reole. The girls who went on
to the night club came limping home on three wheels after a U turn in the
station car park went horribly wrong (literally - the fourth wheel was

[LU] Ipswich last 30.

2013-08-24 Thread Damian Walsh
No comments yet? Are we all too flabbergasted after the dire early match
reports?

Away - I got to see the last 30 minswhich is as much of Leeds I've seen in
a League match for donkey's years.

I didn't see the goals but otherwise I was reasonably impressed. Leeds were
trying to play possession football (a goal up obviously) and Ipswich
weren't good enough to expose the weaknesses that are surely there. The
fact is that not all Leeds players are comfortable on the ball. McCormack
stands out, Austin looks confident (sometimes misplaced) and Peltier knows
what he has to do when he gets the ball but the rest didn't look happy
having to pass the ball about.

I was surprised by Warnock who played like he was frightened to death by
the ball. I had expected him to be much more comfortable.

Austin played some classy and assured 30 yard passes but screwed up his 5
yard ones. I wonder if he's got a concentration problem?

Finally Poleon, when he came on, had some good runs but went nowhere.
Partly I think because it never occurred to him that he's allowed to shoot
when he gets sight of the goal. He cut inside several times on the edge of
the box but then didn't know what to do - the Ipswich defenders sussed him
out straight away and could afford to stand off him a bit when he was
central, something they didn't do at all when he was wide.

 Dear John,

 Events in parliament over the last day have been quite extraordinary and
 highly charged. I know the situation in Syria and the possibility of
 military action has been a huge concern for many people here in the Far
 North and I very much appreciate the emails I have received from people who
 have been in touch to let me know their thoughts. I am emailing you now
 because I thought you would like to know how I voted in the House of
 Commons yesterday and my views having listened closely to yesterday's
 debate and now looked in detail at the evidence.

 In my judgement there are two issues to be considered. First in respect of
 the specific request to undertake military action against Syria to deter
 future use of chemical weapons; and second the wider issue of our
 continuing willingness to be involved militarily in a range of countries in
 the Middle East.

 There is no doubt that chemical weapons have been used in the civil war in
 Syria. The news footage alone is horrific. There is also a strong
 probability that they have been used by the Assad regime. This is a crime
 under international law and I hope the perpetrators will face justice in
 the International Courts.

 It is not however lawful under current international law to undertake
 strikes against another state as punishment. It would only be lawful if the
 strikes were for humanitarian reasons to prevent further atrocities and if
 they were proportionate and strictly limited to that goal. I have grave
 doubts that this objective can be met at this time. Certainly, before I
 could support such action I would need to have a far greater degree of
 assurance as to the objectives and the measures of success. Like many
 senior professional military personnel I have seen nothing to persuade me
 that there is a clear strategy or that the potential for unintended
 consequences has been thought through. When I flew south on Thursday
 morning I was therefore determined to vote against any action unless and
 until these issues had been properly set out.

 I made these points at our parliamentary party meeting before the debate.
 I also listened to the views of colleagues who felt a motion endorsing UN
 involvement was essential. I respect those views and would never wish to
 vote against UN involvement, but nor would I wish to have voted for a
 motion which could be construed as agreeing to the use of military force if
 the US proceeds to action without the UK. Therefore together with a number
 of colleagues I decided to vote neither for nor against it but abstained.

 There is also a wider issue which is the cumulative impact of multiple
 military interventions. In my judgement each further intervention, even if
 ultimately acceptable on its own, has to be seen in this wider context. I
 believe that as a country because of the many conflicts we have been
 involved in over the last decade we have become war weary and are also in
 danger of being seen as a compulsive belligerent. I cannot therefore accept
 the principle of further military intervention without this being taken
 into account.

 The leader of the opposition also put forward a motion yesterday the
 substance of which was largely identical to that put forward by the
 Government and added nothing to the debate I therefore voted against it.

 Ultimately this whole debate was an error. It may be that both the British
 people and international opinion come to an informed view that action is
 necessary. That point has not been reached.

However, I would have liked to see Beckford back, I think that he really

I've obviously got a concertina memory 'coz the match was mid-week and the
100 Club was a satdi. Did we play (and beat) Newcastle in the league that
year or was I on a cloud of joy for days?

In any case, Terry Connor's goal has stayed with me as much as Alan
Clarke's.

Looking at this match has also questionned other parts of my memory. When
did we have our marathon 3rd(?) Round FA cup tie with Arsenal; I'm sure it
was the same season. I remember David Harvey being pelted with coins when
he came to calm us down after we were robbed at Highbury during the
first(?) replay. Most so called Leeds fans had no idea who he was. I was
amazed that after that episode he came back to us.

I was thinking exactly the same - and I remember that a bit later on in
that season Peter Lorimer came back and played some exquisite football on
the right before changing his name, getting the snip, and going off to
Israel to finish his career.

Getting back to why didn't we bounce straight back up? There must have been
structural/ organisational problems at the club I think. That plus we
didn't have a proper centre-forward. Aidan Butterworth was too light-weight
(the shame of seeing him have to take the (very) long way round Mickey
Droy...), Terry Connor was too inconsistent and Worthington for all his
spectacular goals and stuff was far too often a spectator rather than a
participant.

There's some shameless capitalism going on here. How much did you pay for
your daughter's turntable?

Until the 80s/ 90s a turntable was the cheapest Hi FI component and I seem
to remember that the rule-of-thumb cost was about 15% of your basic Hi Fi.

I've been poking about in Hi Fi shops for about a year now (still plucking
up the courage to tell the wife it's time to buy a new record player ;) and
in both the UK and FR turntables are eye-wateringly expensive, with the 15%
going up to roughly 50%!

Damian

BTW the reason I want to buy a new Hi Fi is 1. to be able to plug an iPod
or MP3 player into it, and 2. because I'd like to buy my needles over a
counter rather than the hit-and-miss mail order method that is the only
option today for my rather old equipement.

 I should start by saying I like Northern Soul (Music, not the nights or any
 of the stuff that goes with it)

 Brendan, et al. All you need to know is that it's called Northern Soul
 becasue out of Town Northerners buying records down south couldn't get the
 bog standard Motown/Stax 'commercial' style anymore, because no one was
 making it or selling it in any great quantities - most people had moved
 onto
 Funk  Soul styles

 Some dude in a record shop in London labelled all the old style stuff
 Northern Soul because that's who were asking for it, according to him
 (Midlanders included)

 So people wanted songs sounding like Sugar Pie Honey Bunch but couldn't get
 them.

 For some reason a tiny record buying population with their head stuck in
 the
 past mutated into all nighters where the more obscure of these tunes (REv's
 is a perfect example (and a perfect song, it has to be said) - one song
 that
 a Producer at Motown made and was pulped because Berry Gordy or someone
 decided they'd rather have him producing than making records) are
 discovered
 (or sometimes made recently and faked as discovered) by DJs crate digging.

 I think there are only 3 or so records that knowingly exist of 'Do I love
 you' (2 by Berry Gordy  the dude himself) - which is daft isn't it? One
 record floating about going for a quarter of a million. Both digital copies
 I have of it are awful, all tinny and one sided (you could say that's the
 whole style of music/production!)

 It's a bizarre musical movement.

  Rarity/Exclusivity has often been part of the deal Brendan. Whilst there

 example, Frank Wilson's Do I Love You (Indeed I do) - no matter how many
 times I hear that record I love it!
 
  I understand the 'let's keep this hidden' mentality, but if you like
 differing genres of Motown you'll love all the better-known Northern Soul

I managed to build up a half decent collection of wine 20 odd years ago
because friends of mine had a 13th Century farmhouse with huge dry-stone
vaulted cellars. They live 20 odd km from where I lived so there was no by
gum that wer a grand bottle, lets bring oop another one (my first cellar
in the UK only lasted until a particulary boozy night with an alcky friend).

I moved and bought a house with 2 stone vaults, got up to 900 bottles (all
good good stuff BTW) then moved here - to a modern house, with a modern
cellar - only to end up pouring more than 300 bottles down the drain and
taking the enamel off my teeth with another 300.

I've not got the money to vin de garde anymore, for the bottles I lost, I
got a bit back on the insurance - the so called expert agreed that the
auction value of the last 300 was 14 000€... I got 1980€ back.

All that too long story to say that you can dream about a cellar, but don't
buy one built after the war, its not worth it :(

[LU] Thoughts turn to Lardy things....

2013-11-30 Thread Damian Walsh
I've played for a new veterans team for a year now. When not drunk or
hung-over the team is seriously good - certainly the best team I've ever
played more than one match for ;) The best thing about them is the spirit
on and off the pitch. You don't often need a referee in their matches but
you always need an extra day in the weekend.

Anyway. They (I can switch to we now) are coming to London at the end of
May and are trying to set up a match or two. I've got a contact who can
provide a team and a pitch. The thought is there... Would the Lards like to
come and make up a threesome? (or nominate a young, well proportioned
blonde for similar ;)

Damian

PS an of course the invitation is always open for the Lards to come out
here whenever they want..

BTW, there is an element of social engineering from Google here.

With the new Gmail set up, any mail that Rich sends about Becchio goes
somehow magically into Forums - we can happily talk about football there.
However when Rich mentions wine, the mail goes into Primary so we can
talk freely about the finer things in life that for a brief period around
the turn of the century, the working classes could afford.

This is probably a dastardly plot by Google to identify all those who are
worth spamming with Sunday Times Wine Club offers..

I'm not surprised about the French being scared of Spanish wine. A Castillo
d'Ygay gran reserva is the equal of any Bordeaux 1r cru (Lafite, Latour,
Mouton, Margaux, Cheval Blanc, Ausone Haut Brion  La Mission de Haut
Brion), it's enjoyable years before the Bordeaux and will out last any
modern French wine by a good 20 years. In 2005 the Ygay cost approximately
a 15th of the price  of its French counterparts. Unfortunately its now
almost impossible to get hold off and I all with many others have burnt my
fingers mistakenly buying Finca d'Ygay.

Going down the scale, 5/6€ on a Vina Mayor Ribero del Douro is unmatchable
anywhere...

.. but then again there are those awful memories of 70s  80s
Valdepenas ;)

Damian

I was in a fairly typical greasy spoon style restaurant near to Pamplona
(or was it Vitoria?...) Just gone over to the Euro, and it was 8€ the menu.
However they had a wine list that had every Ygay from 1927 (and a few such
as the 1918 from before), and every Vega Sicilia from the early 30s. I
drank a late 60s (67, 68?) Ygay at a very reasonable 40odd quid. Only in
Spain

 I am really excited about the 'new look' LUFC - of course we may have
 brought in 2 duds - but I am really looking forward to seeing Stewart and
 Kebe play for us.
 In some ways this is as good as it gets - all the optimism and excitement
 and none of the back down to reality that will happen once we have seen
 them on the pitch in a Leeds shirt
 Does anyone know which wing they each play on , or which foot they
 predominantly use ?

 The thought of 2 wingers flying down the flanks and taking players on
 before producing great crosses for our onrushing centre forwards to bury in
 the net is the stuff of dreams, and is what football is all about. Add to
 that  the chance for Murphy and Mowatt to show some great passing to
 players actually moving into space and making runs, and things are really
 looking up.

 The link up with SF49 or whatever means nothing to me, if it works and
 brings in money for us great - if nothing happens then as long as it does
 not cost us, who cares.

 The promise of good times to come indeed

 Wish I was going tomorrow but I instead I will be glued to the box hoping
 to see some fireworks from us - well done Brian, you have given us hope
 (whatever happens)

   The first 30 mins, both teams were embarrassingly bad. Our only
  problem
   was that Peltier gifted them a goal with a suicidally schoolboy piece
 of
   doziness after we cleared a freekick and he played them all onside.
 Then
  we
   actually started to finally put some play together and were beginning
 to
   look good. With a new formation and 2 new players, it were
 understandable
   maybe that it took us half an hour to get going. I was thinking that we
   mighht get an equaliser before h-t, then Zaliukas played an awful ball
 to
   Austin, we lost possession, and they suddenly morphed into Arsxernal at
   their best and produced a superb lightning counterattack.
  
   Nevertheless, with Smith on and reverting to 4-4-2, and the new lads
   starting to gel, I was still hopeful as the 2nd half kicked
   off..and then came the awful travesty of a red card
 decision.
  
   Obviously, we were dead then, but even though the scoreline was
  horrible, I
   even think there is some optimism in that last 45 mins. A lot of people
   burble on about the players not trying etc, but we actually played some
   reasonable football in the middle third at least with only 10 men, and
   McCormack, Byram  Austin all worked incredibly hard.
  
   Of the goals we did concede1 was a lucky deflection, I'm
  pretty
   sure Wickham's was a mishit, and 1 was just a dreadful error from
  Zaliukas,
   who really did have a terrible game. Oh, and now I remember it, The Big
  Zee
   was at fault for the other one as well, which probably also was a
 mishit.
  
   It may sound ridiculous, but I don't think too many little things
 needed
  to
   have beeen different for us to have come home with maybe a nice 2-0
 away
   win...if Peltier had done his job after that
  freekickif
   zaliukas hadn't played that woeful pass...and if the ref hadn't
   seen a red acrd offence when there was none. I think if only 2 out of
  those
   3 hadn't happened, we might have won.
  
   Worrying times, though.

I'm convinced that it is anti-semitic. Now - but probably not at the start.

An example of the vacuum-effect you inevitably have when people are not
allowed to have a rational debate about open sores on the body politic:

Statesman - I really feel unconfortable about the Israeli State's policies
of occupation, repression and assasination
Sophist - You evil anti-semitic bastid, to even think in those terms makes
you a Nazi
Statesman - I'll just keep quiet then and leave the ongoing debate to
suicide bombers and their ilk
Socrates - No one desires evil
Sophist - K'off you Nazi Cnut, you will burn in hell like all those who
don't accept my own vision of what is right and just

Or, unfortunately, something very similar..

[LU] non-lu quenelle?

2014-01-24 Thread Damian Walsh
I drove back to the Uk a week ago. In a service station on the M20 there
was a, I think, family group of young people who happenned to wear white
shirts with no ties, crombie-like overcoats, homburg hats and who had
visible ringlets dangling under their hats.

There was also a group of orthodox-English young adults who had no shame in
cat-calling and insulting the other group. Needless to say the insults
tended more to the racial (no apologies) rather than, say, sexuality.

Shame on me - I said nowt. I'd like to think I'd have done or said summat
if matters progressed beyond some juvenile name calling. But that's easy to
say now and the fact is I said nowt.

I was and am shocked though that such a thing can happen today in England.

[LU] More Lards

2014-02-05 Thread Damian Walsh
As it happens I lunched (:-0) with the representative of a fairly big
club here in the Puy de Dome who regretted never being able to send players
to Worldnet. But he did extend an invitation to us to participate in a
7-a-side veterans tournament on the 3rd May.

A must for those who ever did Pussay (the cheese is much nicer in the Puy
de Dome and the alcohol is much cheaper) and a double must for those who
never did!

There is as well the opportunity for a lost two weeks between the 2
tournaments :)

Nothing is ever completely free - didn't you pay with a bloody (geddit)
great hole in your leg after the free drink persuaded you that it was a
good idea to play rugby with a 2 year old ;)

 That does sounds rather splendid... if any other Lards are up for a
 pre-Amsterdam sojourn, I would be tempted... I do find it staggering to
 think the booze could actually be cheaper though... it was frequently free
 in Pussay!

Re: [LU] Cagliari fans on Cellino

2014-02-17 Thread Damian Walsh
The 2 facts that stuck out for me, and makes me think that he's nowt like
Bates were:
- The players get paid on time
- The club (Cagliari) are better off financially now than when he took over.

I also liked the Fiat 500/ Ferrarri comment ;)
