    Grand Slam of Darts

    In the early years after the split, Adams played in a few "PDC" tournaments (although I don't think it was called the PDC then). I think he may have reached the semis of the Matchplay at Blackpool. As I recall, probably wrongly, the PDC wanted to tie the players down to committing to most or...

    Biggest Sporting Event You had Tickets for but didn't attend

    The Liverpool v Arsenal championship decider in 1989 when Michael Thomas scored with the last kick to pinch the title for Arsenal.

    Grand Slam of Darts

    John Henderson qualified through an open qualifier last weekend where I think 4 players got through out of 250 entries. Seen him play before, on his day he is certainly very capable. I know he doesn't get invited any more, but it's a shame Martin Adams never took up the chance to play.

    Why drawing 0-0 to Woking was a good thing

    Not sure that Woking will necessarily be any more positive despite being at home. Although we didn't show it on Saturday, they will know that we are quite capable of picking them apart if they over-commit.

    I believe he sold them so that he would have some money to leave to his children.

    Charlton 7-0/ 7/1????

    That was a season or two after. I think Alan Curbishley and Robert Lee got a couple of goals each for them.

    Pickling your own onions.

    I think the onions, once they've been peeled, should be left in salted water for at least 24 hours with a plate and weight on them to keep them submerged. It's something to do with osmosis I think, drawing the moisture out of the onions to help make them nice and crunchy.

    Giving Blood

    Not a great fan of needles, but I was asked to go along a few years ago by a friend. Just don't look is the best advice. My last donation got me up to 25 and my silver medal. However, I am a bit worried that all my donations might have a foaming real ale head on them.

    Baz: It's a Different World

    I believe that the media whore Chino Mendoza normally has about 100 pairs of flip flops spare to lend to the Albion :thumbsup:

    Argentinian Duo

    It's to make sure that when a player leaves a country, he doesn't owe his club anything and he is not under suspension. Didn't the Albion years ago get Hans Kraay just after he was banned for 6 months in Holland, when the current regulations weren't in place?

    Argentinian Duo

    I think with traillists, if they've come from a club in another country, no international clearance is necessary, although there is a restriction on the number of matches they can play (2??) We've signed the Argentinians, so we've got to wait for the paperwork to clear.

    F.A.Vase and F.A.Trophy finals will be unaffected as they're set for the week before the F.A.Cup final.

    Easy solution for FIFA re techology and rule changes...

    Not read the whole thread so hope I'm not repeating what's alrerady been said. FIFA are completely anti technology. Can't remember where I heard (or think I heard) it, but the FA were prepared to trial it, but were told in no uncertain terms by FIFA that they were not permitted to do so.

    Anyone else taking a half day tomorrow?

    I shall be in the pub at half time to watch the mighty Dutch sweep aside Mendoza's favoured but frankly defensive Brazilians. Tennis? No, not for me.

    South American Team Success?

    They used to be subdivided into two or sometimes three groups, but decided that they would prefer to all be in one big group. Most of the matches are double headers so the European based players will generally play two matches per visit.

    Goal line technology

    I think it would have to be restricted to situations of fact (ball crossing the line) rather than opinions (was it a free kick or not). Free kicks, penalties etc. are the opinions of the referee and as such probably not reviewable. However, whether you would then be able to make a challenge...
