He`s dived with his arm outstretched (either for momentum or to clear it with his hand) but the balls actually hit him on the side of the head just above his ear-temple area, i dont think he knew much about it though and he just was trying to get any form of block on it. Why is football-speak nowadays in the present tense when talking about past events? The present progressive tense, for anyone interested. (No-one). For example: "Give us your thoughts on that goal, Alan." "Well, the defender has managed to set the winger free. The winger has crossed a great ball into the goalmouth and the striker's finished it off beautifully." VERSUS: "Well, the defender managed to set the winger free. The winger crossed a great ball into the goalmouth and the striker finished it off beautifully." Just one of the annoying little things about modern life that keep me awake at night.

You're supposed to be awake at night; you're a cat.

It was in reference to the u-tube video of the handball incident that i had viewed moments before so it was in the present tense at that time,but i wish i had not posted it now as your the second person to hi-light my post for whatever reason..anyway i hope you can get some kip now thats cleared up..

It was an excellent post: right to the heart of what this thread was supposed to be about, before loonies like me dragged it off into talking about Gillian McKeith and Bruce Forsyth's medical history!

he was actually at the ground, near the incident. I don't look at a picture of my turd in the bowl to know that I did one Yeah, but looking at your turd can help give you an idea of whether your digestive system is working properly, and whether you're eating the right sort of diet, so you're missing out. Can i point you to this well named chart :- The Bristol Chart
