His Royal Dryness, The Duke of Cork

So Big, they Mentioned it Twice BBC Sport - Football - Sheffield United to delay new manager appointment Nice to see that the BBC know how to cut and paste to pad out an article......anyone know what the compensation is likely to be? ......I'd estimate it might be big, maybe at least half a million pounds.

The cold weather did nothing to stifle the lure that a new manager brings.  John Carver won his first game in charge of Leeds, then lost seven on the trot (apparently). Blades looked a poor side again; Swansea a poor, but pretty side.  Not a great game.  At least we won and Chedwyn took his goal quite well. My mate told us he is off to Syndey, Australia for 3 months and did we know anyone who wanted his ticket.  I had a bit of a think, but when he said he wanted a fiver a game, I told him he'd be luck to shift it!  He also pointed out that there were probably more in Swansea's entourage (players, physios, kit men, directors) than there were in the crowd. Not going to the game on the 26th, as I'm on call.  May try and get a guest blog once again. Merry Christmas All!! Blades 1 - Swansea 0

Blades open late on Wednesday Cool, I can nip in after work and get some Christmas pressies sorted.....what's that? Oh, openING late.

The Blades never seem to win on TV, so it was nice to get three points, play reasonably well (although defence still needs some work, for Ched Evans to look like a striker and to get a dodgy ref that didn't affect the result. Ched Evans finally looked like he wanted to play football.  He got a bang on the head fairly early on and we reckon Blades should schedule a bang on the head before every game.  Cresswell looked shocking, but at least he put the pen away. Speroni saved hundreds off shots (it seemed) and I'd written it off to be one of those evening.  Boggy came on and ran everywhere on the pitch, then scored the pen, then got sent off.  Looked harsh at the time, but Speed hasn't complained and only watched it back quickly and looked like he caught the guy high. Maybe our luck is finally changing.  Mine might not be.  We were trying to get some rare peg top trousers the other day and agreed an amount to bid, then put £1k under what we agreed....

I'm curious as to what constitutes an unsafe flag. I'm also wondering how they match a safety certificate to a flag on the day of the game. It's all good stuff.
