Your opinion is shared by many and totally understandable. I would however just ask you to read this research done by Nottingham Uni - research.nottingham.ac.uk/newsre ... spx?id=344 It too is just an opinion based on research however there have been instances where terrorist cells have used the mentally ill to carry out attacks. The main thing from this is that EVERYONE has a different way of thinking whether it be from this extreme right down to should you slap a naughty child. Ben has a different thought pattern to that of say Gordon, Gordon has a different thought pattern to mine...etc we dont have to agree with each other but a healthy understanding of why someone thinks differently sometimes makes all the difference when judging an action.

That sums up my feeelings for Rovers but i wouldnt die for them Nick.

And im a Longhill Lad too and still wonder where this unwritten rule comes from

Surely you have never played rugby then if you have not heard of the law of one in all in?

Oh i played Schoolboy rugby mate and thats where thats ends.

When you get past 16 you tend to grow up a bit.

So you are familiar with the rule then?

You "love" Rovers differently to that of say your children, parents and other close family and friends. A gun is pointed at your child you'd probably stand in front of that weapon to save your child, however you wouldnt die for Rovers, it would upset you but you wouldn't sacrafice yourself for it.



What a lot of religeous believers have is a love that outweighs their love for their family and friends and some believe that if they die for their cause their afterlife will be so great it outweighs the cost they have paid in this life.



As for the unwritten rule of "one in all in" and "put them down and make sure they stay down or they'll get up and do it to you" maybe you havent heard of it but its out there and not one just shared by Longhill folk. I havent played for any team that hasn't used the term "one in all in" and it doesnt just count on the pitch either.

Nick which team do you coach, I like your views and would love my kids been coached by a coach who lives in the real world

You do realise you left yourself wide open there!!!

Personally I've nothing against suicide bombers. I just think they should do it in the privacy of their own homes.
