That could be easily resolved if they stopped the refs controlling the clock, & have an official timekeeper like they do in Rugby, so everyone can in the stadium & watching on TV see when the clock stops & howe long is left.

Incidentally didn't Forest have a couple of players booked in stoppage time for time wasting, one of the reasons the ref added more time on at the end of added time, & added time is always minimum [not maximum] added time.

Makes not a jot of difference until they clamp down on timewasting. As you noted, they had two booked in added time for timewasting. Until refs use their powers and start to give out yellow cards from the off, it won't get any better.

Tierney always does it v us btw, never books anyone for timewasting until really really late in the game.

Agreed, pisses me off when teams timewaste from kickoff but the ref doesn't book anyone for timewasting until after 80 minutes or so.

Funniest one was in the Derby, Pickford antics timewasting around 20th minute, then Allison taking the piss out of Pickford does the same thing, in the 94th minute when were were 2-0 up.

spending too much time reading through some of the threads on RAWK is enough to put you off football.

Neil Atkinson is capable of weird shouts, but a good weird shout he had was if the clock stopped then timewasting would get 'acceptable' and it would legitimise stopping play (its ok the clock is stopped) and that enables the shit teams like Forest and United to slow down play and disable the attacking team in that way

[TepidT2O]

Especially for Steven's poor little kids.

[Only Me]

All music videos should be banned immediately because there hasn’t been a good or original one in about thirty fucking years.

Put the wasted zillions into grass roots music and music venues instead.

That's a good point. Lost count of how many times the sting and adrenaline of teams is taken out with legitimate stops in play.

Scrooged is an awful film

Prolonged fight scenes and car chases are really boring.

There is no need for either to last over one minute

Edit  This excludes Rocky films

agree completely.
 what kills me is cop shows where the detectives get within 20 yards of a suspect and call his name, so guess what, a chase begins. how about STFU until you get next to him and nab him you morons?

 all it is is filler to make up for lack of script / storyline.

Where they're the same thing for ages yes. When it's done well, like the Mission Impossibles, with variety and some top set pieces, they're great. Terminator 2 is pretty much a 90-minute car chase and fight scene and it's one of the best films ever made.

you mean the scene from They Live

The car chase in Ronin is pretty epic.

And Smokey & The Bandit is pretty much a car chase for most of the movie.

[SamLad]

I just tune out whenever a car chase comes on.  not only are they boring, the stunts and maneuvers they come up with are completely laughable.

someone drives 100mph through crowded streets, missing everyone by inches over and over again, while whoever is chasing them (cops usually) are crashing left right and centre in the same conditions?

or worse - someone uses their car as a battering ram repeatedly, to the point that the doors and shit fall off, but it never affects the steering, brakes, or ability to see / drive the damn thing? 

or how about doing all the above while driving backwards, lying down to avoid bullets, and using the rearview camera (which all the bullets miss)?

gimme a fucking break.

edit: oh and when the hero driver ends up escaping, he leaves the car a smoky heap of wrecked metal and walks away with hardly a scratch.  maybe a limp. dead believable, that.

My big gripe, Certain films and TV shows are set up where a certain character cant die, so when they are in a gunfight its pointless.

Also when a woman is being chased or attacked by the male assailant and get into a fight ,she’ll manage to kick him in the bollocks ,he cries out in pain ,she runs off,ten seconds later he’s grabbed her again and knocking shit out of her.
Don’t know how many fellas on here have been properly kicked in the bollocks ,I have and it is agony and the quickest most easy way to disable a man .I went down like a brick and couldn’t move for half an hour and was in pain for hours afterwards ,felt sick and that was accidentally done to me yet these men cry out a bit and are completely fine in seconds ,what a load of bollocks ..literally.

Is this unpopular? They seem to still have a fanbase. Bananarama were absolutely awful. Crap music, nothing catchy and they sounded like 3 teenagers singing in their bedroom.

Bit less popular than in his heyday, perhaps...

Definitely not unpopular.
I've heard a load of pissed up girls on a karaoke that are better than them.

Did the music really matter to a 15 year old boy?

Our next manager is going to fail. The shoes are too big to fill. Replacing that manager is so much more appealing.

They were a sign of the times. They had 30 tunes that reached the Top 50 which was/is a record for an all girl group.

Siobhan Fahey left to start up Shakespears Sister who had a massive hit with 'Stay' but for me the best thing any of them did was 'Black Sky (Underworld Dub Extravaganza Part Two)'

One of the stand out tracks on the very first Ministry of Sound (The Sessions One) remix album from 1993.

You don't think Cruel Summer, Venus or Shy Boy - just off the top of my head - were/are catchy? I mean, this is weird because I don't think they were ever critically regarded or seen as important, just a fun pop band. Better than some, worse than others.
