Hamilton Saint

We've seen the bad so far; second half we'll get the good. Yes?!

Yeah, but what else is new?

Schneiderlin booked.

Two great saves from Boruc.

Cork likely to replace Wanyama!!

Wanyama booked for tripping Parker.

DM says that Fulham are crossing the ball into our box as quickly as possible.

Boruc makes a "flying" save from thr corner.

Blackmore and Merrington comparing Wanyama's play so far (unfavourably) with that of Cork's recent form.

Three points today would take advantage of Swansea's and Newcastle's losses earlier this afternoon. We'd be only two points behind the Geordies.

Come on, Saints! Three points today!

How do you see a person for what they are? You can't see inside their soul; you can't examine their conscience. You note what they do. Kissinger didn't "belong" to a political party. He wasn't a Republican or Democrat. His party was the party of self. He was willing to do and say whatever advanced his own drive for power and influence. Check the historical record. See what policies he pursued in Vietnam - and Chile and many other parts of the world. He is personally responsible for the death of tens of thousands of people. He supported fascist despots because of his belief in realpolitik. Power and influence, that is; not truth and justice. Would you rather have a bias in favour of those who seek and exercise power, or those who work for truth and justice? My bias is for the latter.

I understand your point and agree to a certain extent, but the Nobel committee can be quite inconsistent. Barack Obama didn't do any "specific" peacemaking, did he? His prize seemed to be merely a metaphorical huge sigh or relief that the U.S. President was no longer GWB! Kissinger's "act of peacemakling" - the winding up of the failed Vietnam War - came after a long period of escalation (the carpet bombing of Cambodia, for example), when the U.S. attempted to win the war with a massive wave of destruction. Like giving someone an award because they've stopped torturing and poisoning people.

Exactly. Kissinger is not a man of peace - he is a war criminal. Just like Ariel Sharon. No amount of whitewashing events can change those facts.

Ron Davies - surely?!

And a second video of Seeger. Everywhere you go in Cuba they sing this song - based on a poem by Jose Marti.

R.I.P. to the great Pete Seeger. Pete Seeger wrote, or co-wrote, "Where Have all the Flowers Gone?", "If I Had a Hammer", and "Turn, Turn, Turn." He was a member of The Weavers. He was a committed activist, who got into trouble by defying the House UnAmerican Activities Committee. His warm, disarming performing style always had him more as the leader of a sing-along, rather than an emoting artist. A wonderful inspiration. Here is a video in his honour:

Thanks for the info. You don't like DM's dramatic whispering Geordie commentary? Is it what he says, or his manner in saying it?

"What Yeovil must not do now is concede a third goal before half-time ..."

Anyone have Saints Player going? Unusual for them not to be one by now for a Home game.

David Beckham had his embarrassing moments at the penalty spot!

No.

Last week it was all doom and gloom from a vocal minority on here - those of the pessimistic, cynical persuasion - who insisted everything was about to collapse around us and the club was almost immediately going to be sold. There was no evidence at all for such a conclusion, but the usual suspects got themselves into such a lather that they started immediately into open insults against Ms. Leibherr. Today's statement surely contradicts all of the "fear and loathing" being blathered last week. Try reading it with an open mind. Try taking an optimistic view. Go on, it won't hurt!

Not a valid interpretation, though. Read the whole statement. Consider this: does this sound like a sincere, open-hearted, optimistic look to the future and an attempt to connect honestly with people: or is it a guarded, deceitful, fork-tongued attempt to fool everybody? If you read it in context, it seems obvious to me.

"My priority now is to bring some stability and calm to the workings of the club; perhaps a few smiles too." That sounds like corporate-speak to you? "Off the pitch, my priority is to establish the proper running of the club at the top. I also have a strong team of advisers around me as we plan the way forwards. ... We are looking to the future with a determination to create a culture based on open communication, respect and hard work." Does that sound like someone "on their bike" and ready to sell at the earliest opportunity? I suggest you are reading her message with a cynical bias, rather than an open heart.
