Feedback wanted. New forum board about sports.

[Jan Klimkowski]

This founder is agnostic re a dedicated Sports directory.

However, any such directory would have to include deep political analysis of the highest and most sophisticated level, as epitomized by the following comments by the deeply dodgy geezer who manages the football club I support:

Redknapp, who is favourite to succeed Fabio Capello as national team manager in 2012, has suggested that England were the victims of a stitch-up.

The Tottenham boss noted how confident Russia were before the announcement, saying: "It was as if they knew.

"We send our Prime Minister over and everybody else goes over.

"The Russians, their Prime Minister (Vladimir Putin) doesn't go. It's as if he knows he's going to win.

"You read we were having meetings until five o'clock in the morning; we're talking to the right people.

"But, obviously, they'd made their mind up. No talking in the world was going to make a difference."

Amazing
Redknapp is adamant that England had the best bid and should have won the vote, adding: "Listen, we all know what's probably gone on. We can't probably say, can we really?

"It was amazing that suddenly two such wealthy countries have ended up with the World Cup there.

"Don't tell me that we haven't got a better product to offer than Russia in terms of football in this country."

England's bid team, which included Prime Minister David Cameron, Prince William and David Beckham, campaigned furiously in the days leading up to the vote.

Redknapp said: "It's like going on X Factor, coming on, doing what you do. You're either good or you're not good.

"It's not a case then you go back, meet up with the judges for a couple of days and have a chat and say, 'You should be voting for me really. I'm a sexy bird, I'll get my gear off for you'.

"What's it all about? You've either got it or you haven't got it and I thought we had it. We had the product."

And again, get rid of the goddamn Bookmark banner! :goodnight:

I'm with Charlie and Keith here.

However, Mr Reasonable, who is highly suspicious of Facebook and Twitter goshiteing suggests a compromise solution: is it possible to move the Bookmark toolbar somewhere else on the page where it doesn't constantly try to sabotage the act of posting?
