Stewie's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

Agree that the pitch looked magnificent. Hope it still looks like that end of the season.

 

Spiderman is a football fan......

 

According to the Glasgow Evening Times:-

A disgraced woman teacher struck off for having sex with a pupil on his prom night has been working in a missionary position - helping spread the word of God among soldiers.

French teacher Isabelle Graham, 28, was struck off on Tuesday for having sex with the 17-year-old pupil at a Travelodge hotel in Edinburgh.

She was axed after a picture emerged showing her lying semi-naked in bed at the hotel while a boy stood at the door of the room.

Now it has emerged that she has been doing work for the Soldiers' and Airmen's Scripture Readers Association (SASRA) a charity based in Aldershot, Hampshire, which spreads the teaching of Jesus among squaddies.

Working in a missionary position ? - surely, that's what got her into trouble in the first place !

Can you believe the above ? She didn't see that coming !............

 

The debate over how many Accrington Stanley fans travelled to Chesterfield for their EFL Trophy win on Tuesday continues...

BBC Sport said it was TWO, but Accrington Stanley have tweeted that they reckon there were at least SIX of their fans there.

What fantastic support..........

 

Can you believe Wayne Rooney's sad face after being informed by Gareth Southgate that he was being dropped to the bench against Slovenia tonight. Shame

Charlton v Coventry game stopped after plastic pigs thrown on the pitch

please log in to view this image

The plastic pigs were thrown onto the pitch almost immediately after kick-off
Charlton and Coventry fans threw hundreds of plastic pigs on the pitch in a joint protest that interrupted Saturday's match at The Valley.

The supporters were protesting against the two League One clubs' respective owners, and had also organised a joint march to the stadium before the game.

Play was delayed for about five minutes while the pigs were cleared.

Charlton went on to win the match 3-0, meaning Coventry remain bottom.

Fans of the London side have made repeated protests against owner Roland Duchatelet's running of the club.

At the end of last season, they threw beach balls and stress balls onto the pitch and Coventry supporters have also been calling on owners Sisu to sell the club.

Charlton manager Russell Slade told BBC Radio London:

"It was different, I've got to say. Protests are something that's happened down the centuries, that's what we do.

"When we're frustrated, people are entitled to voice an opinion and the fans have done that today. All I think is as long as it's done in the right manner and it's done safely, then that's fine.

"Our focus has got to be that we're delivering on the pitch and we're working exceptionally hard to do that and to turn it around."

BBC journalist Ian Shoesmith at The Valley:

"The plastic pigs were hurled onto the pitch from all around the stadium.

"It was completely simultaneous - and had obviously been planned in advance by the two pressure groups opposed to the owners of both clubs.

"It followed a well-attended joint march from Charlton railway station by Addicks and Sky Blues fans."

 

Hi All

Thought you might be interested to know that following the UK Government's freedom of information act you can now get access to ALL speed camera
offences registered in the last 12 months.

Did you know that every time your car goes past a speed camera, even 1 mph over the set limit, it is registered and put on a database? You
only get a ticket if you are way over the limit or, (this is the bit that I didn't know) if you receive over 10 near misses, you will be classed as a serial offender and get a ticket the next time you go just over the limit.

This is why you hear of people being done for 34 mph in a 30 mph limit area, whilst others doing 39 do not. You can check what has been
registered against your vehicle at the following web address:

http://www.i-database.co.uk

You will be asked for a password, but just click on the need a Password link and you will be given one for future use.
Or just enter your car registration.

If there is any data on your vehicle you can click on the camera window to see a copy of the photograph.

Hope it's useful.

Let me know if you're on it - I was!!

Gosport Borough: National League South club in talks over takeover

please log in to view this image

National League South club Gosport Borough play their home games at Privett Park
National League South club Gosport Borough are in negotiations with potential new owners following recent financial uncertainty.

The Hampshire club has been served with two winding-up petitions since August.

Former Gosport player and local businessman Danny Thompson is leading a consortium interested in taking over.

"The wheels are in motion and hopefully in the next few weeks we can get it all sorted and take the club forward," Thompson told BBC Radio Solent.

"We're trying to get a group of people together and local businessman back involved," he added after confirming early discussions have been held with current chairman Mark Hook.

"Some have been involved in the past, so I'm working hard to get them back. We have the club at heart and we're trying our best to get things moving forward."

Good luck to them - hope it all goes well.
