I'm so sad about Richard Griffiths, we have lost an absolute legend.

My all time favourite film by a mile.

Monty: Do you like vegetables? I've always been fond of root crops but I only started to grow last summer. I happen to think the cauliflower more beautiful than the rose. Do you grow?

Withnail: Geraniums.

Monty: Oh, you little traitors. I think the carrot infinitely more fascinating than the geranium. The carrot has mystery. Flowers are essentially tarts. Prostitutes for the bees. There is, you'll agree, a certain 'je ne sais quoi' oh so very special about a firm, young carrot.

Because there's always the possibility that, ten or twenty years from now, someone will discover something valuable beneath the sands. Guessing that offshore rights factor into it, as well; Western Sahara has a substantial amount of coastline, and the 200 mile Exclusive Economic Zone that comes with would cover a pretty large area.

That's a pretty solid answer. Morocco already has a large coastline though, and the chances of the Western Sahara holding valuable resources seem pretty low if you look at it. Geographically it looks pretty much identical to neighbouring Mauritania, which is basically just a vast wasteland of nothing. The people who live there have been without their own country for going on 40 years, and it just doesn't seem worth it for Morocco to deny them that basic human right. The King apparently is never going to give the people the referendum they deserve.

I love a good FIFA rage message. I got called a tramp because I ruined my opponent with Mayuka.

You may know the answer to this. In FIFA [and maybe ProEvo, I dunno], why is it that you tramp an opposition player when you get one of your team to pass to a teammate who scores from a better position, rather than taking a shot..?

That always seems to upset people, cutting it back across the box to an open forward is apparently a dick move. No idea why.
 
Would they get angry in a real game as well if a player passed to a team mate to score? You should only get angry at yourself...the opposition can do what they like within the rules. I should keep out of these discussions as i obviously do not appreciate how important this is:smile:
