European Championships are in 2008, the Copa America is soon (2007? - Ric?), the Olympic footy tournament is always worth a watch - but most importantly...

Liverpool FC have already played a couple of pre-season friendlies

cheers mate - am on the dvdlab website perusing software now

In answer to your 'time-out' query - it may be best asking JediSage what he thinks, he set up the tournament - so his opinion should probably carry more weight than mine.

Personally, IMHO IF DirtyWookie is ok with carrying on continuing the games then go for it - the more chess games playd the better

Any help will be most appreciated with this...

I've recently been sent some of ADM's intriguing Harry Potter Fan Edits on single layer dvd discs. Each film is in two parts - part one on one disc, part two on another.

I also have a blank dual layer disc - and I wish to copy the 2 parts of the film onto the dual layer disc.

How do I go about this?

(am I being an idiot and it's that simple in that I just burn part one, and then burn part two after onto the dual layer disc using a program like dvddecrypter?)

Great coivers Coov - thanks for sharing them too.

There does seem to be a problem with downloading or opening the page where the ANH cover is - a small section at the top of the cover appears, and then nothing else does. Anyone one else having this similar problem?

Thought I'd let you know mate - keep up the great work

*** Edit - Covers work fine now - must have been me

Superb game last night - though I feel sorry for anyone losing that close to the end of extra-time (plus I love the drama of a penalty shoot-out!).

Can only hope tonight's games is as good.

A special mention about the ref last night too - he was superb - let the game flow, yet kept control of the game, and booked players when they deserved to be - without being over-officious, and seemed to ahve the respect of the players for it. Top man.

Completely agree mate - though the thing is we both know that we would still manage to feck it up vs the French and that they'd go on and win the thing

I don't think I could handle that - c'mon Brazil! lol

UEFA are so boring - they only allow 'proper' (surname) names on the back of shirts, would be much better if everyone could choose the name they wish to appear on the back...

I'd like 'Sagrincha' on mine - part of my nickname, part of Garrincha's nickname

Am looking forward to the upcoming matches...

Friday 4pm - Germany vs Argentina

Friday 8pm - Ukraine vs Italy

Saturday 4pm - Portugal vs England

Saturday 8pm - Brazil vs France

Hopefully lots of goals, incidents and a few penalty shoot-outs

Time: 28-Jun-2006 12:02 PM

A bit of an off-shoot from the 'should Chewy/Leia get a medal' discussions...

During the Death Star trench run it is pretty clear that everything hinges on Luke, Wedge and Biggs making it to the exhaust port and delivering the torpedo that'll cause a chain reaction in the Death Star, and save the Rebellion from destruction on Yavin.

Now fair play to Biggs - he did his job and paid the price - like many other Rebel pilots.

Wedge gets hit a little later in the Trench Run - and apparently 'can't stay with you (to Luke)' - instead of hitting the air brakes and smashing into Vader's TIE - and therefore 'taking one for the team' - whilst leaving Luke a free shot at the exhaust port, he decides to bail out out of the fight completely - leaving the 3 Imperial TIEs a free shot at Luke!!!

To me I'm not sure how he could face anyone in the Rebellion again - surely he'd be known as the one who bottled out when it mattered - and didn't even fancy sacrificing himself for his beliefs in their greatest need?

Wedge is a wuss

I love it that football at all levels is the same sport - and would not like to see rules introduced to differ from the top level to the grassroots - however, that said, at the very top of the sport I'd like to see the likes of FIFA and UEFA grow some balls over the players who cheat by feigning injury, and those who intentionally hurt others.

Would it be so difficult for them to turn around and say that someone who headbutts another player gets an automatic 5 game ban, or elbows someone gets a 3 game ban, kicks someone off the ball, dives when there is not contact, feigns injury to the face or head when there is no contact, shirtpulls, surrounds and/or harass the referee and his offcials and so on...?

Definately not impressed with Henry's antics tonight - especially feigning that he had been hit in the face by Puyol when at most he was obstructed with little contact, of which the resulting freekick led to France taking the lead.

great player - but a twunt of a man.

I hope that FIFA takes the same action as they vs Rivaldo in the 2002 WC when he feigned a facial injury after being struck in the leg by a ball.

Hope Brazil beat them convincingly.

Brazil are 1/4 to beat Ghana over 90mins - not so generous odds...

I have this odd feeling Ronaldo will play poorly again - but bang in a couple of goals regardless
