So what do you do when your betting company’s stunt backfires and a man prone to depression feels he has no choice but to resign from the club he loves? What do you do when a man resigns on realising that eating a pie in the dug-out in the full knowledge that his friends have placed money on him eating a pie in the dug-out has not only landed himself in trouble but embarrassed his club? What do you do when you have clearly encouraged that man to break betting rules while making him a figure of fun for his weight problems? Why, you shift the blame, of course. You point the finger elsewhere. You attempt to whip up ‘fan fury’. You make your man feel really bloody special by referring to him twice as ‘roly-poly goalie’ on the front page of your newspaper. And you keep using the word ‘sacked’ because ‘resigned’ would suggest that your man absolutely knew he had made an error of judgement and that you too might be culpable. As his former manager Paul Doswell reveals on BBC Radio 5 live that Wayne Shaw was “crying” on the phone when resigning from the club and was “very, very sorry about the whole situation”, The Sun were claiming that he was ‘sacked over snack’. Because of course getting sacked over eating a pie is ludicrous, right lads? Lads? Lads lads lads. If Mediawatch weren’t so disgusted by The Sun’s deliberate obfuscation of the facts, we would be amused by their use of the words ‘novelty bet’ on the front page. Because of course ‘novelty bets’ are placed by ‘novelty gamblers’ who can win or lose ‘novelty money’. We might also be amused at the idea that ‘hundred of hits’ on a petition to reinstate Shaw (can you reinstate a man who has resigned?) is being cited as evidence that ‘FANS were fuming’. Fans of what? Wayne Shaw? The Sun? Banter? Definitely banter. The Sun are right to say that Shaw has been ‘HUNG OUT TO PIE’. They’re just wrong about the identity of the executioners.

This I'm back to playing a few games of rocket league around 1am just before I go to bed. I'm at the level where I should really be doing the free style trick shots off the side/roof. ... but i'm not an arse hole, yet.

GPU and CPU need to be decent. Plus, don't underestimate the power supply. Personally, I'd wait a bit longer, save more money and purchase something that's going to last a while.

I heard that earlier, I didn't really think much of it until I heard who put him up to it.

Thanks for the update sir. Currently trying to decide whether or not to buy the new season pass on PS4 and thinking I might go PC instead.

Origin are doing a free trial of Origin Access at the moment. Worth a shout if you want a go at an EA hosted game for a limited time for free.

Any time, any place, any where

I'm going to try it out on PC this time, it's available for pre-load on Uplay at the moment

I've seen the reviews coming in for this but I'd rather hear from the FG community. Who's getting it at launch? Would you mind posting your thoughts and experience here?

You were either drunk when you wrote this or I'm drunk as I read it Not really bothered about a shout box , i was just throwing it out there. I recall most folk not really in favour last time it was discussed!

I thought we'd stumble... Spurs v Lincoln final. You heard it here first

Should try to set aside an evening for this as I've hardly been playing it since the single player ended. But just so many games right now...

Was gutted for Oxford, at home you'd have beat them, no doubt about it

Seems that Jan is actually playing today after all

Rib mentioned something similar the other day. And what's this weird weather in California? Bombogenesis is the term used by the BBC for the weather pattern.

It's pretty bad to be honest, sluggish controls, poor AI, invisible barriers. Better going for nut shots on Sniper Elite 4

That is correct

It's a cup game so we may not risk him even if he's fit to play

For some reason you had issues using the touch pad to bring up the little menu, in addition to only using your fists, which on me were actually quite effective

Spurs will lose v Fulham, mark my words

I have a similar set up to Rib's planned build, just a little older. NZXT Phantom V2 White Full Tower Gaming Case GIGABYTE GA-Z87X-UD3H Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) ATX Motherboard Intel Core i7-4770K 4.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 MSI Twin FrozR GeForce GTX 770 OC 2048MB GDDR5 Graphics Card 250GB Samsung 840 Series 2.5" SATA 6GB/s (SATA-III) Solid State Drive SSD 2TB Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 3.5" SATA III Hard Drive - HDD Corsair Hydro H80i Watercooling Performance Closed-Loop CPU Cooler 750W Corsair Builder Series CX750M 80PLUS Bronze Modular Power Supply Crucial Ballistix Tactical 16GB DDR3 RAM My PC will be 4 years old this summer (cost about £1200 all told) and I've got my eye on a new GPU. Again like Rib most likely the 1070....or 1080. If the timing is right I can probably let you have my 770 as it still gets me great frames on ultra settings in most games. SSDs are much cheaper since I bought mine too and you probably don't need the uber hyper threading CPU either. I knew little about PCs until I decided to get one, it's an enjoyable learning curve. Diddums can vouch for that, unfortunately

Zigackly. Publishers like this - where I actually want to play the game - just end up sending me to CD key websites because of their ridiculousness.
