In the context of a post on a forum? Well, it would need length, for a start. Each letter occupies some.

But there's your one dimension used up. In terms of height, my word processing software only goes down to 1 pt and that's hard to see. But that still does have that second dimension. With a magnifying glass, perhaps. But the software doesn't have a zero pt. If it did, that I imagine it would be tough to read The rest of this post is in one dimensional text:

Quite boring now

At the end of the day, it wasnt a good drop goal because it wasnt awarded...in order for the drop goal to be good, the referee has to put his hand up in the air and not wave it away (see Bentham's reaction to Walsh's effort for clarification)

It is getting a bit tedious now, but if you want to continue on your one man crusade to prove it was a drop goal (that will change absolutely sweet FA in terms of the result) then feel free to continue...although if I am correct in assuming you are a Bradford fan I would maybe be more concerned about the future of my club and if they will still exist beyond this year rather than getting my knickers in a twist over a drop goal that went wide

Thanks. We didn't know, and nobody had made that banal point before, as if it were a novel insight. No, really they haven't.

I wasn't going to bother with you, but clearly need to repeat that I DON'T CARE if it was a DG or not, nor am I on any "crusade", nor would i have the slightest problem if someone proved it was. It's a technical discussion and as I have already said I am perfectly amenable to reasoned debate about any of the points arising. The mods seem happy to let people like you attempt to mod the threads and have a go at me, and that is their choice, so I choose to respond to correct the erroneous stuff aimed personally at me. I'd prefer not to have to but that's how it is.

I do not need your permission.

I can multitask.

Where exactly can you point to where I have done that? You can't. You are making it up.

The thing is, I make posts that seem to interest people, because people reply to them , and ask me questions. If I feel like it, I reply to them. You don't get to say who talks to whom.

However I now leave the floor for any further trolls or flamers as I can't add to that.

The more I've watched it, the more I believe the camera shot from behind the sticks Brough is kicking toward is an optical illusion, caused by 1) Brough being outside the line of the posts when he kicks it; 2) the camera being halfway between the posts and zoomed in toward the ball, amplifying the illusion

Looks like those 40 Huddersfield fans are having a wild protest.

No doubt they are the victims again.

Wonder if there'll be such uproar from the blatant judo throw Crabtree used in the last few minutes of the half ...

Re: Was It a drop goal for Brough : Thu Apr 10, 2014 8:01 pm  

How is the protest going??? Not watching it tonight
