Rafa transfer fund? Blimey you're trying to pay people to take him off your hands, that's a bit drastic!!!!

that was cheating end of. Doesn't matter about contact/no contact in this instance. He was still in full control of the ball and realised he was getting too close to another Brum defender. Carsley was stupid lunging in as he didn't need to, but how anyone can look to justify that with "intent" is ridiculous.

But there wasn't intent to commit a foul. Intent to commit a foul was McManus against Hearts a couple of weeks back. This challenge was an intent to get the ball, nothing else.

There was absolutely no need for him to go down, he was still in control of the ball. In fact, he didn't just go down, he went up and then down!!!!

Or Carsley assumed N'Gog was going to pull the ball back and dived in to block. N'Gog read his intention and dived over him.

In fairness all of the clubs we support have players who have been guilty of a similar offence in recent years, for example Van Nislerooy, Rooney, Pires, Eduardo, Gerrard, Cole et al. So I think to be fair we shouldn't blow it out of all propotion. As undeyfying as it is, we all know it goes on. If i'm honest the worst I've seen which effected my own club, has to be Rooneys dive to gain a penalty at old trafford when we were on for a 50 game unbeaten run. But hey ho, that's life. Ngog was still out of order. Unfortunately I don't think it will be the last we see of such behaviour.

SP. Setanta folded because of over paying for its EPL rights (if you meant setanta).

      Nursery school

      By tomem · Posted

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
