^Which they did. What happens next? Can they not go for a meal? Someone drinks in a hotel/club and get arrested when waiting for a taxi. Waali.com

The couple kissed in public meaning that their 'crime' has become an issue of a 'fasad fi al ard'. Or at least this is how this thing is looked at. I know what you're getting at but they have also been charged with consuming liquor which is readily available. Very confusing laws/place.

They met over Friday, Saturday and Sunday

LoL Wasn't me (I would wager JB started it) but I don't think going to Egypt is going to kill it.

Show rag aan kubada wax ka aqoon ayaa meesha ka buuxa lol. Winga & LOZ ayaa idin wada dhaama. Ng, adigu Lucas uun inoo faan and watch your 'best defender in the world' get skooled this week.

Agreed on Iker. Khan did make a mistake in the final but he got them there in the first place. Just like Baggio in 94. Being considered best keeper is alot harder than being considered best player. Proving you're the best means doing great things at crucial times on the big stage. Buffon save from Zizzou in 2006 final for example. General good play for Club won't do it otherwise Shay Given and Brad Friedel would win it hands down.

A&T, At the moment there are no great keepers or defenders. They are all as bad or as good as eachother. No one stands out and going by Friday nights game between Catania and Inter, Lucio (did you see his dismal attempt at a tackle for the third goal?) and Ceasar (did you see him come off his line only to be breezed past by the Catania striker?) are nowhere near the top. Great keepers were Schmichael, Khan and Buffon. Guys who were involved in big games and getting to CL semis and playing at world cups (some winning it and some losing in the final). Ceasar is nowhere near that level. No one is right now. Good keepers usually have good defenders in front of them but make vital saves in big games. Remember that Schmichael save from Zamarano? Remember Khan heriocs in the 2002 WC? Thats what great keepers do. Ceasar is still getting there. I'm reluctant to label ANYONE world class until they have shown it for at least 3 or 4 seasons straight in a major league and in the CL.

Congrats to the graduates. Well done.

Double standards by the US whose media have contributed to the anti-Islam campaign in the west. Don't expect much coverage on the wires.

Fatboy, See what happens when you've been living in a country with different culture and values for a while and then go back? You begin to wonder 'did I actually live in this place'?

Its easy to be a defender in a league that lacks pace. Its easy to be a good keeper in league where chances are limited. We all saw Chelsea dominate Inter. They just couldn't convert more of their chances. The goal they got was a gift by 'the best keeper in the world'. Unless you saw a different game A&Tow.

Nuune, ninka 'tactics' ayey kaga dhagtey and to be honest we havent even had any discussion on tactics. Brazil uun ayuu nagu waaley and keep telling him lets wait and see. He thinks Brazil has the best keeper just because Jose said so. Waar wu madax adagyahey. As for Ngonge he has been listening to Alan Hansen too much. Lucas ayuu ka arkaa a few minutes on highlights and tells us he is a great player. He still thinks we will finiish fourth even though the others are ahead on points, have games in hand and we keep playing crap. Maantaabu ka sii daray and says Lucio is the best defender in the world.

Tuujiska, saxib gardaro iyo madax adeeg saasa ma aragtay? Maantana wuxu na leeyahay he watches every game so he is an expert marna koox bilaa laacib ah oo ay ku jiraan Fabiano, Adriano iyo Robhino ayuu na leeyahay wey dhaamaan Messi, Tevez iyo Rooney kuuxyada ay u ciyaaraan. Even these guys have been playing the best football for the past 2 years and the Brazilians have done nothing for 4 years. Bari dhoweedna wuxu inagu akhriyay Romania koobka Europe iska haysata looool. Last year he said Bayern would beat Barca only for Barca to score 8 goals in 2 legs looool! A&T, i noticed you havent made any predictions this year. Why?

Fatboy, You think UK is any better? UAE mate. No place like it. I know you miss the lifestyle already.

Madrid should have wrapped things up in the first half.

Well done gunners. Didnt see the game but will catch the highlights later IA. Will Dhino do his magic tonight. Hope A&T tunes in.

Wa kukaa Dr. Brazil. My prediction is on the predictions thread and so far I've been spot on. You didn't make a prediction did you fulayahow. My team is Al Wahda in UAE.

I don't get people who plan to go to X number of place before they settle down. Can't you do it when married? Ibti, the guy is probably in a heap of debt and will next ask for a handout

^you can't I'm sure something will come out. He caught a plane which has a tank full of fuel refined in the middle east which has American bases so wuxu sameeyey waa xaraam. Then they ring Dubai for more fuel deliveries

Even Band Aid is not above criticismBob Geldof is furious at the BBC story There are some things that are just too sensitive and difficult to inquire about, and the idea that considerable sums that ordinary people around the world – but especially here in the UK – raised to aid and help their starving fellow humans in Ethiopia in the mid-1980s is one of them. Band Aid and the accompanying humanitarian efforts on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of Ethiopians threatened with famine in the northern province in Tigray was much more than just an important moment captured in a rock concert. It was transformational. It changed forever how politics, aid and the electronic media would function in response to humanitarian needs. For western politics and aid, what happened in 1985 was the big bang. Nothing would ever be the same again. Even more fundamentally than that, it said something about who we were and what we were all capable of. For any of us who were there at the concert, gave money, lived through it and got involved, in however small a way, it was quite simply life-affirming. But it also made Band Aid and the entire humanitarian response to the famine in Tigray almost holy; only the shameless or mendacious would subject it to critical review in the way that Martin Plaut of the BBC has done this past week when, after nine months of research, he found what he and the BBC World Service believe is credible evidence that aid money from famine relief efforts was used by the rebel group fighting Ethiopia's military dictatorship under Mengistu to buy arms. Many of the humanitarian relief agencies involved in Tigray Province and Ethiopia in 1985 have understandably reacted with horror. They have swiftly and universally condemned the BBC for the report, saying that their scrupulous oversight of the aid could not have let this happen, and nothing of the sort happened. But why the strong and blanket reaction without a hint of wanting to know more? Let's get some things straight: humanitarian operations in the midst of large-scale civil wars where territory is held by rival powers are almost always politicised and misused. The idea that this never happens and that NGOs are never put in situations where, in order to get the aid delivered, they have to work with and often through the powers that control the territory where the suffering is taking place is a ridiculous fantasy. It's happening now, in Congo; in my own country, Somalia, where al-Qaida-affiliated groups have dictated how the World Food Programme delivers emergency food; and also in Zimbabwe, where I have just spent two weeks talking to aid workers having to work through government bodies in delivering aid to prisoners of Mugabe. One aid worker told me: "There is a really bad outbreak of measles in townships with huge HIV infection rates, but we can't mention or talk about it if we want to remain here." Those are just three examples; there are many more. Plaut is a first-class journalist. He hasn't just come to this. He was actually there on the frontlines in Tigray, with his wife, a nurse, in 1984, as the famine was brewing. One of his main sources, ridiculously dismissed by Sir Bob Geldof on the Andrew Marr show on Sunday as an exiled malcontent and "not a credible voice whatsoever" on this story, was actually a founding member of the rebel group, the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), and one of the main military commanders in the Ethiopian civil war in 1985. The BBC's assertions and evidence need to be seriously and open-mindedly followed. Their assertion is that aid agencies in the mid-80s had to work through an organisation called the Relief Society of Tigray (Rest) in order to get to the starving people. The Ethiopian dictatorship did not control the province. But Rest was undeniably the humanitarian wing of the rebel movement. Of that, there is no doubt. So, effectively, the relief agencies were working and channelling their efforts via the rebel group, the TPLF. I am absolutely sure that all the NGOs were extremely diligent about how their money was spent in getting relief to the people who needed it. But they did not have oversight and control of Rest. In fact, they had no way of knowing whether the official buying sorghum for them from Rest was an independent local aid worker, or a member of the rebel group posing as one. I know the TPLF very well. I was based as a reporter in Addis Ababa immediately after the rebel group came to power in 1991. The TPLF is the most ruthlessly organised and efficient guerrilla group I have ever encountered. The fact that this peasant army, with thousands of women among its ranks, overthrew the might of the Mengistu regime proves that. These rebels were drawn from the very families and communities that the Ethiopian regime was trying to starve. I have no doubt in my mind that, faced with a government that was using famine as a tool of war against them, the TPLF would seek to use the ocean of money coming from around the world, in response to efforts like Band Aid, to buy the weapons that would rid them and the rest of Ethiopia of what was a horrendous regime. The politicising of aid is a fact of life everywhere. The challenge is to stop it getting in the way of saving lives. As Plaut says, in Tigray this politicising did not get in the way of saving lives, and perhaps that is why many didn't ask questions. As a Somali, looking at what happened in my country during the US-led humanitarian intervention in 1992 and what is happening today, what I find unacceptable is that a humanitarian operation can be elevated to the status of being above criticism.

^Waar bax! Rafa ookiyaal wearing waaxid

Put a bloody tie on! :mad:

Rafa will say that. He won't say that he has failed to inspire and give them confidence. He wont say he told them to play on the counter. He wont say he is a trick pony (no other tactics/change in formations are deployed). Good riddance!

Johnny, As opposed to jumping ship and seeking answers to questions post apostasy? Very 'rationale'. I'm just saying your argument there can be flipped in favour of religion. However much you try to deny it, people are asking questions and being skeptical of their non-spiritual lives (athiesm). This skepticism leads to changes and the adoption of a spiritual lifestyle. Hubaloo as it were.
