I thought it was very funny that the use of swear words by both men and women in the Portuguese population was unrestricted. The c word was used as liberally as any other and the significance of its use was lost in translation

Interesting figures, although that only shows Portuguese born residents. The extended Portuguese families which now probably extends to 4th or 5th generation would take the figure well beyond 7%. I left the island in 2012 and it was widely accepted there was in excess of 15,000 people who considered themselves to be Madeiran/Portuguese or dual nationality from Venezuela or Brazil. Lovely people and made many friends.

A very small pool and most of the best footballers on the island are Madeira born with allegiance to the Portuguese clubs.

A nice big donation to the local NHS.

Ok Monkeh, no need to shout!? my point is that this is not a unique situation. Football is unique in that far more tolerance is given to "companies"in this situation. A retailer would now be closed and history. A way out will be found even if Bolton have to take the pain of several steps backwards.

We were on our arses in 1982, yet youth and hope got us through, as has dozens of clubs since.

Out of contract, no offers from anywhere else, like hundreds of pro players this summer! The will get players.

There's a gert big McDonald's opposite and---------------------that's it!☺

Well done boys. COYR

Tommy's has 48!

Any news on the line up?

Nurse! NURSE! Ivor's got his keyboard out again.

There was national press coverage at the time saying they were the heaviest team in the whole football league.

Sounds like the classic vent act in talking to the puppet in the suitcase!! Everything they do is classy!

Joe Jordan!

This match was my (and the wife's) fourth and final attempt at getting "into" the rugby. What an awful waste of time and effort. Has anyone actually timed, the time that the ball is actually in play! This kicking the ball back to the opposition, when you've struggled to get hold of it in the first place, just don,t get it. The whole atmosphere around us was of resolve that Bristol would again get easily beaten, and that was from the opening minutes. Never again, sadly.

Ivor, step away from the keyboard, you've done enough for today. Please don't read this thread tomorrow as I feel you might be just a little embarrassed. I'm trying to be kind mate, but go and have a lie down.

And who your DAD?

I also hated the over the top applause for Smith when he came on. He is a Fulham player!! Even heard the dick head behind me say that he hoped Smith scored!

Committed son, committed! Have a great night.

What the hell are you going to do sat in the services for hours?

What's the opposite to "Tinkerman"?

Mourinho claimed Chelski were not at their best due to a "hard" pre-season FFS. Don't these people know how bloody absurd they sound to normal fans?

You didn't mention the scorer!!!! Let me think why that might be! I know its only your opinion about Agard, but I'm glad he just shoved up your a##. :laugh:
