Only positive thing to say about today is that it's now 100% in our own hands again whether we go down or not. Has been a few weeks since we've been able to say that.
To be fair, I don't really think questions will need to be asked. The new regime has made it clear that this has been a long-term problem at the club that they intend to address, and Erwin's probably the last of the guys we'll lose from having been developed the "old way". There's not a lot they can do about that now other than persuade him it's the best place to be for another couple of years, but that's a much harder sell today than it was this time last year.
I know nowt about IP.board, but is there any way to do a theme that's basically just a stylesheet that specifies different colours for everything, rather than having to put a big amber jpeg in the background? It seems to be the background images that are causing most of the performance/bugginess issues people are seeing-- the default, image-less blue theme certainly works flawlessly (and scrolls the mostly smoothly) for me.
This interview with the Crystal Palace groundsman suggests otherwise... and also that (in 2011) a groundsman could expect to earn £15-£42k, so £26k is at the low end, but not off the scale.
Looks good, hope any forthcoming C&A themeing doesn't render it too garish
One very small nit I've noticed so far -- when I get an email about a new topic being posted, there's no longer a direct "watch topic" link in the email, only a link to the topic, where I then have to click the "Watch Topic" button. Is there any way to get that back? It was dead handy...
Some of Europe. In addition to Ireland, most of the colder UEFA countries play summer football (Armenia, Belarus, Estonia, Faeroes, Finland, Iceland, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Russia, Sweden...)
I'm sure he'll be getting dealt with as the club see fit. Fines alone won't necessarily change his behaviour, in the heat of the moment you're not (and shouldn't be) wondering how much the tackle you're about to launch into might cost you this week.
