Spent many a weekend in the Flanders region of Belgium with a Flemish couple we know and believe it or not I'm not averse to going cycling on top of the dikes along the River Schelde,West of Antwerp of a Sunday...

No rubbish permitted in these public cycle paths,just a net where you fling your rubbish on your way by.I'm something of a marksman despite the fact that they stop every mile or so at one of many little bars along the route to allow Ric to rehydrate on Duvel....


Simple but effective,wonder if it'll ever catch on in our Country?

As does Belgium.

Buy a crate of bottled beer,pay something like 25 cents per bottle on top of the beer charge and when you take it back you scan it under a machine and out pops a voucher for €6 towards your next purchase.

There was a shocking bit of refereeing just before this too. At the end of the clip you see their lad go mental at the ref because he'd been smashed just before this and the ref waved for advantage but they had the ball in their defence with City's press giving them nothing, ultimately leading to this pass into touch. The free kick inside our half would've obviously been preferable for them and it seemed absolutely brainless to make them play on.

Funnily enough we are going to a wedding out of town on the 1st Saturday of the new season. I have said we will go but that was before we knew it was Premier League. Now praying the game is on the Friday or Sunday :emoticon-0102-bigsm

When my eldest daughter got married I made sure the hotel was screening the city vs Man U match during the reception - oh and her husband is a Leeds fan :emoticon-0140-rofl:

I'm sure there was.

After jumping around like an absolute idiot screaming... I stopped to take it in, looking around our stands and I could have sworn there was some music <laugh>

There was, you can hear it in the coverage as the players returned to the halfway line. Didn’t hear it at all in the moment though.

Hull City's Promotion Marred by 'Asian Passing' Camera Switch

The promotion wasn't marred in any way, nothing to do with Hull City.

I would expect negative stories from India and maybe China, but South Korea now. Let's not pretend they are known for having a good record for race discrimination/xenophobia.

They'd have a point if the TV cameras showed every single other member of the squad raising the trophy, but I highly doubt thats the case.

There's a lot of examples surfacing of Asian players being skipped though right as it comes to their turn to lift it. It's a very weird coincidence.
