Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

This is exactly something that I am working on right now!

I've been in touch with some Development Officers from around the Football League and also some independent academies.

Also an ex-player or two who had the same issue. Hopefully I can pick up enough content from them.

 

Apparently one of our U18s was found by the second chance scheme.

 

I heard about the signing of Isaac Nehemie, who was released by Crystal Palace.

 

Ha ha...great minds!

Seriously, do it right and that would make a great article!

 

Marco Simoncelli's crash and death in MotoGP the year before last bought it all home again.

 

Wasn't long ago that it happened in IndyCar. Didn't see it live, but I switched over to it after hearing that there was a massive crash, and the shot of Wheldon's car getting airborne was enough to know that it was fatal. Those cars do not belong on ovals.

 

This must some new and, as yet, little known meaning of the word rubbish. Unless, of course, it is the football fan version of the term, meaning that the product/performance is some tiny fractions of a percentage point down on scintillating, and therefore rubbish.

Is that fair..?

 

I chose not to bite

 

I'm not normally a biter, but I just couldn't resist this time.

 

Agreed. It's like tethering a jet plane to a washing line pole.

 

Don't forget Surtees junior getting killed or Derek Warwicks brother ......

 

shame you did not bite , as I am a very happy owner of an s3 . My post was pure envy !

 

I'm actually pissed off that the S4 is out because I was just making up my mind to go for a cheap S2 contract. But they're practically all gone.

 

Surtees was, unfortunately, the kind of thing that no safety precaution can really prevent, so long as you have open cockpit cars; I cringe every time I see a wheel and suspension (intentionally) shear off in a crowd for that reason.

 

So the girl I like's agreed to meet up next week, says she's looking forward to it. I'm not getting too excited though, as I'm worried she may postpone again.

 

Good news, just don't let on how much you are looking forward to it!

 

Who initiated?

 

Marco's crash was horrific. Not because it was especially gory, it wasn't. It was that it happened right in front of the viewer, and you knew that, if he came out of that alive he was going to be severely brain injured for the rest of his life, because his crash helmet was pulled off. Personally, I think he ran a size a tad too big to accommodate his huge amount of hair. He was a prodigious talent on a bike. There was also Shoya Tomizawa, in Moto2 at Misano in 2010. I'll never forget that one either. Poor bugger didn't stand a chance.

 

Well I did

Meh, I'm pessimistic so trying not to look forward to it.

 

There was probably an element of that involved. Having said that, the impact tore his helmet strap off, the impact needed to do that would surely been enough to kill him anyway. It's not like his helmet was removed, then a secondary impact to his unprotected head killed him.
