    Total Eclipse of the Sun - USA

    Was involved in organizing an event on our campus. Donned the shirt for totality and got interviewed by Nashville TV after it was all over!

    Liverpool v Brighton & Hove Albion.... Interesting fact ?

    Day before me and the missus set off to live in the US (for the first time). She said if we made it to the final I should fly back for it. I did, and had to change my return flight so I could go to the replay. Bad planning, I know, but maybe wish I hadn't!

    11 years to get to 1,000

    Nowhere near! This is my 76th post since 2003! A mixture of feeling too remote to have anything meaningful to contribute and a combination of being ignored/slagged off when I do bother! Still visit NSC a couple of times a day through!

    Paul Weller

    Ah, but that's a Bruce Foxton composition (as is Smithers-Jones mentioned earlier).

    "Move back to Britain - No way" - any other Albion ex-pats seen Telegraph article

    No way we'd move back now either. Left in '83 (day after we beat Liverpool away in the cup and, yes, I did fly back from US for the final!). Having lived in the UK, France and the US (Tennessee) people often ask us which is best. My reply is that everywhere has its good and bad aspects. I still...

    Strange/Indirect claims to fame.....

    When Marc Bolan was killed in a car accident I had a summer job at Scotland Yard and carried his blood sample to the lab to be tested for drugs/alcohol. (Yes, I know he wasn't driving, but they still tested it.)

    Can anyone remember the shops in the old Churchill Square?

    Twas in that Fortes that I 'popped the question' to my missus back in 1979 over a cuppa. Our 33rd anniversary coming up soon!

    Blue and White goal nets

    No seagulls on the nets I'm afraid. From the Laws of the Game: "The reproduction, whether real or virtual, of representative logos or emblems of FIFA, confederations, member associations, leagues, clubs or other bodies is forbidden on the field of play, the goal nets and the areas they enclose...

    Crazy own goal

    Yes my Lord, but probably not in the way you're thinking, if he took the original goal kick. Just like all dead balls, player taking the kick cannot touch the ball a second time until someone else does. If he does (and it did go out of the area) then it would be an indirect free kick to the...

    Crazy own goal

    Not often I post on here but as an ex-ref trainer I think I can shed some light on this. As was said above, the laws specifically state you can only score against the opposing team from a goal kick, so no goal either way. (Same applies to kick-off, corner and direct free kick, by the way.) At a...
