A ray of sunlight catches this button in the air, and by chance reflects directly into the linesman's eyes just as the ball is played forward, preventing him from seeing that the striker is in fact just offside. A goal is scored, the game is won, and this is all because of Harvey's choice of pants.
    No, this is not because of Harvey's choice of pants. It's because of Harvey checking his pants. He could still have worn the wrong ones. Or the right ones. Who scored the goal and won btw.?

        Ah, but if he hadn't made an active choice of pants in the first place then he wouldn't have needed to check he had the right ones on later.

          You tell me how it's possible for, say, your choice of pants to affect the result of a Liverpool game and I'll qualify my statement.
          I'll sum it up like this.

          I have a scarf, i dont wear it, i dont touch it, it hangs on my wardrobe. Its a Geelong scarf (my aussie rules team). Now we hadn't won the title for 45 years....the scarf used to be kept in my sock draw. I never wore it, as i dont go to many games anymore. However one day before the season started in 2007, i decided that im going to display the scarf. I hung it over the corner of my wardrobe for all to see.

          Geelong went on to not just win that Premiership that season, but completely and utterly destroy all before them. Nobody could get near them. However, one game Port Adelaide beat them. I couldnt believe it. Why, How?? I hadn't touched the scarf WTF?? etc etc. I got home only to see that i had accidently closed the wardrobe door on the scarf, so it was stuck....I'd shut the door on Geelong. We lost.

          So i quickly put the scarf back how it originally was and once again we destroyed all opposition and won the title (beating pORT BY 100+ in the grand final)

          Now onto this season, i left the scarf as it was.....all season. We lost 1 game....the scarf was once again accidently closed in the wardrobe. So i once again put it back.

          Then onto the grand final, playing Hawthorn, i was nervous, very nervous. I had reason to be. We lost. I got home thinking what a **** game it was etc etc.

          Then i glanced over.....THE ****ING SCARF WAS STUCK IN THE WARDROBE!!

          We have lost 3 games in 2 years....and on each occasion the scarf has accidentally been closed in the wardrobe.

          Nonsense my ass.

                  One defeat and it's all kicking off in this place.

                  Understandably there's lots of frustration, although a lot of it seems to be misdirected. It doesn't help that it's Monday morning, thank god we've got another game tomorrow.

                    By the way, I'm pretty sure we won the Champions League because I wore my lucky Carragher tshirt and invented a pre-match ritual that I carried out through the rounds.

                      Ak, this isn't "all kicking off", its been much worse than this. Paul even closed the forums for an hour one lunchtime when the chat forum exploded to allow everyone to cool down a bit. I was the only person who could get on here apart from him.... it was bliss

                        I exaggerated a bit but there's been a fair bit of sniping and negativity since, by some bizarre coincidence, Saturday teatime.

                          Yes, but imagine he had put on the wrong pants. Our victory would have destroyed his whole world view.

                          No, it was because I was wearing my lucky bra.

                            My ritual was clearly better than yours!

                              Yep, there has. Half of its deleted too, thankfully!

                              Hopefully its out of the relevant systems now. If not, well, even more of it'll get deleted.

                                This is a great thread.

                                Well played Mr.M and harvey.

                                Geelong are my AFL team too. I took a liking to them when I was in Australia in 2005.

                                And for those who have had a sense of humour bypass the whole spursare****e thing was partly my idea so feel free to blame me for unfortunate loss, not our players for failing to bury a number of gilt edge chances (besides Carra obviously - a great finish from him.)
                                A humble guy with healthy desire.
