According to Teletext Dermot Gallagher has been pulled from the game he is meant to be reffing today - sounds like he is in trouble as well for giving a yellow card!

My god what is that supposed to mean????!!!!! If im reading it as you've wrote and trying to say it in my head it means you were doing something with someone, or discussing it.... or so I think. Can honest say not really used that sentence but if ive used the word 'agate' it means someone else in the equation

"Agate" is a truly local expression which I'm surprised has reached Ossy ; hard to put a definition on it but generally means "...he/she was saying or doing something " ; ie ..he was agate (this or that)

Yeh thats a better explanation of it

And why would it not have reached Ossy?

[blue phil]

Only ever heard the word used by people who have lived centrally . Didn't know it had reached the posh parts

Was actually born in Swindon. We can probably blame this for his time spent at Millwall

No no, blame it on Swindon.

I think it means"She said as she was speaking with her" But then again........?

First chance to see thyat incident. An absolutely sickening premeditated attack.

After the Shanghai and Summerbee incidents, Thatcher should effectively be taken out of football for a very long time. What was the linesman on that side doing? - if I were Gallagher I'd be very angry that my lino missed that.

A very proper thing to do from Manchester City:

Man City hand Thatcher ban & fine

Please don't think City are doing this out of any sense of duty or honour. They are simply trying to pre-empt any action that the FA will take, and are hoping that the FA will now show some mercy.

Anybody noticed the linesman's interpretation? Should make the prem list in no time!

People like Thatcher should be sent to prison in my opinion. If he had done anything like that on the street he would have been in serious trouble.

[Blueboy Downunder]

I am almost lost for words on how many times this ###### has done this in football and seemingly getting away with it. nobody will convince me that 6 weeks and 120k, will hurt him. the fa needs to adopt the same kind of treatment to repeat offenders, much like the world anti doping agency does, to drug cheats.

[herbergeehh]

Punish him like the dog he is.

I stand by my words.

Doubt it . Probably get away with it completely ....

blue phil: professional cynic

[blue phil]

Realist more like . If Prince Hamed gets 4 months for breaking every bone in someone's body then I reckon improsonment for Thatcher is a bit much .....

[M-K]

First I've heard of that Rovers incident, or, indeed, Ralph Welch.

Does anyone know why Rovers didn't want to report it?

[3recurring]

Thatcher's now being investigated about the Welch incident too.

probably feels that now his career has gone down the pan, he might as well get some compo.

time wasting idiot if you ask me

[speeeeeeedie]

I hope they throw the book at the thug. He's been doing it for years looking at the evidence at hand. I've now read that players are coming out and saying that he is a nice lad. I've also read stuff in the past saying that he's the biggest nutcase in the dressing room. There is obviously something wrong with the lad, but given that he can play football all will be forgiven.
