Didn't he play in the EL final?

Winning actual silverware will be a huge mental boost for us even in the league. So definitely beat Tottenham.

I......should NOT have clicked on this thread...

LOL

Zero shots on target at home against Monaco. But Arsenal play "beautiful attacking football"....

Clockett makes it 3-1 from the spot.

I see you've shaved...

Can't. The name is trademarked in Lebanon

I heard @Dion is sending nudes to everyone on Whatsapp. Count me in

Pellegrino

States are never motivated by morals, always power. If there's one lesson you can take out of history, it is probably that......and that the Mongols are always the exception (ironically, except in this case!)

Then you should have known in advance that he was going to miss!

Why in the world would we play our worst technical player in a place where he is constantly under pressure but cannot afford to lose the ball?!

Good lad

The thing is, I imagine (and even read somewhere) that is rule is not made by the FA alone, but by the clubs and the advise of the referees as well.

Tbf, it's a masters of science in engineering which would be more or less equivalent to a bachelor in engineering in the US. It is frustrating but there is nothing you can do about it. Immigrating is not much of an option for me except for Africa, maybe. Near impossible to US, Europe or other Arab countries under the current political climate.

Actually I was comparing the soldiers not the ideas or ideologies. The general description is pretty much the same: Armed organized people, motivated by blind extreme ideas like religion and patriotism, invading other people countries and lands and doing all sorts of terrible stuff that effect and destroy the lives of millions to achieve imperialistic gains. Sure, ISIS have a huge fear propaganda with all the hollywood style videos and they do actually implement a scary extreme version of wahabi islam in some of the areas they control. But on the battle field, they are just like any soldiers. Give them the same clothes and you would not be able to tell an american sniper from an ISIS sniper on the ground. My point was to criticize the mindless glorification of soldiers invading other countries because they "are defending their country". No they aren't! They are invading the country of other people. Especially when you are talking about Iraq war, that's not at ALL a good a thing, it is a terrible thing. Now just imagine a movie about a Nazi sniper who was fighting for his country and killed a lot of the "savages". That is suddenly sick and immoral, right? And since you brought it up, no the US does NOT abide by the "rules of engagement" practically anywhere in the world. The Iraq war that we were talking about itself was a HUGE infringement of A LOT of international laws including the UN charter it self. It is without a doubt the biggest crime of the century so far, invading a country for reasons they knew were false and damaging the lives of millions of people as well as putting in motion the current events and the sectarian war that has ripped the entire region apart. Yet no one even mentions the moral implications of such horrible crime and no one even dares question the generals involved let alone punish them. The biggest criticism allowed of the Iraqi invasion is that it was a "tactical blunder". As for the soldiers themselves, just look up how appalled the British soldiers who fought with them were at their lack of consideration of civilians in Iraq, like using white phosphorus on civilian areas, and whatever the fuck that was that they used in Fallujah. In fact, just google "Fallujah" and "Radiation" which is, along with cancer and child mortality rates, now higher than it was in Hiroshima after the nuclear attack. Hey, Hiroshima, there's a pretty good example of the american "rules of engagement", or how about the horrible drone war that kills hundreds of people each year, most civilians, in countries that no body seems to care about, or the human torture research conducted on actual humans at Guantanamo lab. And you can literally go on for pages and books about this. No state in the world has broken international laws, or even its own laws, more often than the US after WW2 just to spread its imperialistic interests. But the American propaganda is everywhere you turn your head so you don't think of them in the same light as some of the other imperialistic states in modern history. I mean seriously, Iseah said that they are not trying to take control over the world! Well, they should definitely "not try" harder! No empire in history ever had anything as close of control over the world as much as post WW2 USA has. They have military bases quite literally all over the world, they have intervened in politics in almost every single nation on earth, the USA of the 50s and 60s had over half of the wealth of earth! It's lower now but it's still ridiculously high. And they still continue to use military and political force to expand their control over more and more countries in the world no matter what that means to the lives of the native people.

Fixed it. Don't know why I always post the link incorrectly here. Nothing to do with what Iran said. This is about Mossad knowing, in very fine detail if you actually read the original document, that Iran never intended (till now) to actually acquire a nuclear weapon and the Israeli prime minister lying through his teeth about it to the UN (and the congress next week). Actually most who have followed the case closely and know anything about Iran's political and military strategy already knew that with quite some certainty. I don't like Iran, but their strategies have been mostly defensive. Even their weapons are defensive. The nuclear program was always going to be no more than a means to gain political leverage.

You attention whore!

Barnes was never going to get charged. The FA rules don't allow it (although the interpretations of these rules seem more and more subjective with each incident). The system is fundamentally flawed and that is not the fault of the FA alone but the clubs and referees as well.

Huge huge leak by Al Jazeera and Guardian today of top secret documents from major intelligence agencies. And the biggest story is.....The Mossad knew from 2012 that Iran are not aiming to acquire nuclear weapons and Natanyahu blatantly lied to the UN at the time just like he is planning on lying to the congress in a weeks time: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/feb/23/leaked-spy-cables-netanyahu-iran-bomb-mossad Surprise, surprise... EDIT: Link fixed.

I think that is fairly normal for students and undergraduates, the problem starts when people technical knowledge and university degrees are needed and are hired based on connection over competence. That is a serious problem of efficiency. Connections in Lebanon are political which really means sectarian. Basically I have to have connections inside the political party of my sect which I don't and refuse to have, anyway. Lebanon is very effectively designed to keep sect leaders in power and in control of everything.

Economy in Lebanon has really gone bad the past year or so. There are no jobs in anything, really, unless you have connections.

What did they expect when they hired a ref from Liverpool to officiate a Liverpool vs Southampton match?

@Roquila,@CeleryFC, you're not alone guys. The issue is more or less global. I've been unemployed for 7 months.....and I have a masters degree in engineering!
