Steve Foster also started as a striker. It was Ian St John, when manager at Portsmouth, who moved him to centre half (as they were called then). This is of no relevance to the thread.
Ah, OK. My ex-wife is Canadian
In Vancouver when I lived there in the early 80s, the right wingers seriously mooted petitioning to join the US. The people they hated most were the Easterners, especially the Québécoise.
Most of the TV channels were American. Many of the richer female students were assiduously practiced in Valley Girl speak.

Possibly showing a lack of class there, Harry?
For whatever reason he’s not posting any more, having previously taken time off. But he will be seeing posts like yours.
Most of what he posted seemed to be considered to me, even if I didn’t always agree. Much like your posts.
Surely we dont want the board to be made up of lurkers like me, which will happen if people feel they aren’t able to contribute?

Agree with all of your post, except for the word ‘possibly’.
@Stat Brother is a lovely bloke, and I don’t know why @Harry Wilson's tackle feels the need to belittle him here.
Live your own life and let others live theirs.
I would imagine his absence is a personal issue rather than the effect of the my putting him on ignore, and he seems impervious to the relentless 'statbore' jibes that others make. I welcomed him back last time he re-engaged. But lacking any apparent empathy doesn't bode well if one wishes to engage on a football chat site. Prickly rebuffing of any attempt to be comradely isn't very polite.
Nevertheless you're right. If he has slipped into a bad place I hope he can come through it. I will delete my mocking posts/comments.

Mate, you’ve just described every single unplanned meeting between two or more beings that has occurred in the history of the universe.
“I’m sorry Pa, it’s just so far fetched that you met ma in the very same diner that my friends and I went to last night. The chances of that are astronomical, you expect me to believe of ALL the places Ma could have been at 7:15pm all those years ago was THAT diner, and that she was leaving just as you walked in?? And THEN, 26 years later my college buddies and I stop there on the way to a World Series game? PREPOSTEROUS!”

I am fully aware of this, I just like pointing out how insignificant their 18 team league is and the fact that it's not actually football, neither is it a ball

On the subject of why the English don't like the Americans calling football soccer I always think that people arguing that 'soccer' is an acceptable alternative term miss the point. They shouldn't have to seek an alternative term because that utterly tedious cross between rugby league, shoveha'ppeny and catch that they play bloody obviously isn't football.
And while we're at it, the other one's called 'rounders' and is for children not sophisticated enough for stoolball, let alone cricket and they may have come up with basketball themselves, but it subsequently took them a decade to work out that it might be a good idea to take the bottom off the basket . Leave sport (no s) to the experts.

Why is it good to Ansu on the pitch? Did he really try in an Albion shirt? Seemed more interested in getting subbed off than subbed on.
He did to begin with at least. Looked to give up around the same time RDZ and a fair portion of the team did, I doubt being in the middle of that situation after coming back fro. yet another injury helped him.
I'd just like to see him realise at least some of his potential, regardless of his spell with us tbh, just as it'd be a shame to see so much talent go to waste.

The UK is not a big place, Brighton is a small place.
Off the top of my head I know that Casper Ankergren (our old goalie) used to smoke whilst he was playing for us, as I used to see him having a cheeky cigarette around the corner as our kids went to the same school. No one cared then, not many people knew who he was, as we weren't in the PL.
Glenn Murray used to walk his dog in the same park I walked mine in, due to my complete lack of coordination when throwing a tennis ball, I wasn't going to throw it in his direction to 'make conversation' because I probably would've accidentally hit him in the face. When the Amex first opened & they were training at Falmer I'd often see players running in Stanmer Woods (not the popular part).
Bruno occasionally popped into a pub I drink in. My FIL has had a couple of chats with Billy Gilmour in a social setting before he left last year. Spoke to him as a 'person' not a footballer, all equal, no one cared what he did for a living.
Things maybe changing slightly as we're now a PL club & the players are more recognisable 'out of context' but there are loads of people on here that have seen Potter jogging along the prom. I know @Han Solo struggles with the fact that Sussex is actually a small place & word gets round if players are seen in nightclubs, or one of our players watch a Burgess Hill match. They don't get mobbed at the moment, as we're far to 'cosmopolitan' down here to make a big deal of it. They used to even go shopping in Tesco themselves! 3 years ago Jnr's friend got a selfie with a young player in JD Sports, I will be forever baffled as to why the player was in JD Sports but I saw the pic & it was definitely him.
I think most of us seeing a player in Tesco, would nudge them out of the way if they were going to attempt to take the last ripe avocado or packet of muesli. I'd get their autograph at the Amex, but when they're out & about I wouldn't ask. I would have a hissy fit if they did try & take the last ripe avocado at Tesco, tell them to f**k off to M&S & have a rant on here about it though.

They Yanks do it worse than that, we're currently 4-1-3. And Palace 0-5-3
I get that technically the paramedic broke confidentiality, but have we really gotten to the point that we are so strung up that it's not ok to say "it's all good we thought it was something but he's fine". Sure if they had said, 'look we don't know yet but it's looking serious, he might be paralysed' that would be out of order.
