Classic bunkum from the blazers 11:24am on 03 Nov 2008 Leslie Vainokolo playing for England, New Zealand 2nd XIV playing for Wales & Scotland in Rugby Union, half the England Cricket team?

The FA's decision to do sweet FA is based on one matter only - the desire or financial need, take your pick - to maintain the home nations as a seperate entity. They can't stand the thought of anything changing which might jeopardise this. Which i understand and accept, we would all support our own corner of the isle over the union when it comes to sport.

What i fail to understand though is how, in many other sports, qualifying on residency is no barrier to representing the adopted nation of choice, or, in Athletics, how we can be GB in the Olympics but then revert back to the individual nations for the Commonwealth Games - there is no logic and no uniformity of ruling as to what is the correct stand to take.

Confused, i am now
Popular Horsfield faces his most difficult opponent 10:46am on 16 Oct 2008 Keep Right On Geoff...

In any walk of life, people have to earn respect, through how they behave, not just by the words they say. Geoff is as honest and hardworking as the day is long and has earnt many times over our hopes and prayers that he comes bustling through the other side of his treatment.

Though you may become tired & weary, still journey on
Empty seats strike bum note 1:12pm on 10 Aug 2008 it's a sad indicator of what is happening the world over - corporate cronies taking the tickets over the people who actually want to be there (the FA cup final being a prime example).
if the governing bodies are happy to take the money from the sponsors, they have to take the lack of physical support at their events.
i expected China to be different, with scores of well drilled school children and volunteers filling every venue, and it's actually quite sad this isn't the case.
shame on the fat-cats for taking the Games away from the people
The odd couple unveil new shoes 07:33am on 06 Aug 2008 what on earth were they smoking when they thought this one up??
