For reasons known only to him, he committed "hari kari" and bottled his chance for the killer punch when the goal was wide open. Perhaps HHS stamina will prevail? OK - we're into extra time!
Back from Songkran water fun. . . for more word fun and mind games.
Jockey, you have me confused. True, I am new to British sports but what game we playing here? “game, set, and match, with the goal wide open.” Could it be gamesmanship on the part of our arbiter to throw off the Yank? I realize SJ has the home field advantage and the crowd with him, ala,d-m declaring victory based on an allusion to a Brit TV show.
But on to the pitch:

Looking is fair play. But you've got to find a weakness and then score. Joe did not do this. ( I still maintain Intellectual Dishonesty is a red card offense, but you are the arbiter). I counter attack that SJ’s attack on my logic and tactics are so “Fawlty” as to be unworthy of any points and, in fact, allow me a breakaway for a “slam dunk.”
SJ's thesis is: praising good meals does not proclude, sic, someone from making petty complaints against bad ones." In short my complaints are all petty.
“Petty” being SJ’s the operative word. However, SJ's “petty” is another's “bugbear”
Korkenzeiher wrote: In many respects I agree with the 'olive' argument. My own bugbear is Caesar Salads. Specifically, they contain Romain lettuce, shaved Parmesan, and a garlic and anchovy sauce. I am just *way fed up* of the places that pump out some non-descript concoction, and justify it with the phrase 'well, that is *our* Caesar salad'.
Questioning of the composition of meals advertised as a specific type, ie Greek or Caesar salad, etc is not petty to those who know their food. Perhaps petty to SJ because he did not pass by AIHH, on way to another location, see the menu prominently displayed on the sidewalk, be drawn in with the expectation of something not enjoyed in a long while, to wit:
Greek salad, or horiatiki, is a “rough country salad of juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumber, sliced red onion, green pepper, crumbly feta cheese and plump kalamata olives."
To sincerely answer the question of petty or not, each "judge" should put themselves in a position of being offered and ordering something specific with which they are familiar and being served a poor substitute, like hagis with fish heads or chicken feet.
SJ: simon your logic is flawed im afraid
yes youve made twice as many positive posts to your negative ones, so you maintain all is ok
HHS: Nice try SJ, you fooled Jockey with this move but not my goal keeper.
I maintain “all is ok”? I don’t follow you, man. Your thesis is I am a petty complainer, my thesis is I’m a balanced reporter and justified questioner, who has reported more good than bad and not at all petty.
SJ, your tactic is to isolate the negative and ridicule and/or ignore the positive.
OK,Let’s play out your attack and test your logic and tactics.
Your shots on goal that Jockey liked so much missed the mark.
Example
america has good relations with twice as many countries as its invaded
What’s the point? Its OK to invade, kill, and destroy if your friendly count is higer than 2 to 1.. It was a petty invasion.
If I retort: Britian has invaded twice as many contries as America. What’s my point?
SJ: ive stayed home and been nice to my wife twice as many times as ive gone out and cheated on her
What’s the point? Is it, 2 to 1 is not enough margin to make adultery OK? 3 to 1 does though. Or Adultry is petty?
SJ: ive completed on twice as many houses as those people that ive scammed
ive driven home twice as many times sober as i have drunk
ive only forgot our anniversary 8 times, ive remembered in 16 times
You close with: praising good meals does not proclude someone from making petty complaints against bad ones "
HHS I’m sure you mean preclude, as in ‘prevent.”
Is this your “goooooooooooooooooooooooooooal?”
Not!! You’re using Super Joe “logic” to “prove.” I have not enough positive posts to be allowed to complain? Or at 2 to 1 my complaints must be petty.
SJ, your arguments come from absurdity not logic. You are comparing war, adultery, thievery, drunk driving to complaining about the composition and quality of meals. You gotta be kidding!! Quite a stretch. Your logic is not only fawlty Super Joe, its absurd. If I made no positive posts, my negative ones would stand the scrutiny of a neutral observer, who knows food.
Your next shot SJ was at my tactics
Said you,
I want to address your tactics, i know youre fairly new to soccer, but i think you got your tactics a bit wrong
HHS Yes, I am new to the game, but you totally lost me in your dissection of my tactics.
You must have really been on a roll with noise (posts) of the home crowd pumping you up and getting your adrenalin flowing. Or could it have been that and/or something more. I would ask or gentle arbiter who awarded you a point for this to explain his ruling.
My defense to your tactics attack.
It appears SJ believes I/you or anyone else should not
Order a Greek dish in a German run restaurant
By SJ logic, When in Germany or any other place with restaurants run by Germans, do not order anything other than German meals. You can’t expect them to know what they are doing. shot turned away!
On ordering a norwegian fish in an english run restaurant
HHS Do cod fish carry Norwegian passports?
On ordering an italian dish in a swiss run restaurant
HHS This one really is a prize. Why are100 million cook books sold each year? Some so Swiss can learn to cook Italian dishes! Just follow the recipe, thank you. BTW, the pasta factory does good pizzas, also Italian,which kinda nullifies this argument. blocked shot!!
On ordering a Mexican dish in an American run restaurant
So in spite of many good reviews, and none bad (as I remember), SJ recommends you not patronize Fred’s Baja Tacos because you can’t expect an American or anyone other than a Mexican to cook Mexican food properly?
Super Joe, your "logic" destroyed your attact on my "tactics" rebuffed
SJ wrote, (under the influence of I don’t know what), “it was like you was playing your goalkeeper on left wing, your right back up front, your physio
in midfield and your top striker was in goal
then you complain to these players that they didnt perform as they have on previous occassions!?!?”
HHS Say what?? My physio?
you completely lost me here, mate. Wonder where you were placing your empties
while composing this little wonder of clear thinking.
But, thanks for playing.
Jockey, what’s the score?
HHS
The devil made me do it the first time.
The second time I did it on my own.
When I finally got to the land of milk and honey, the milkman shot me
Happy wife, Happy life!
Wow! the whistle blows for the start of extra time and Super Joe comes out guns a'blazin 
scoring 2 in quick succession I doubt HHS will recover in time, and his defence better be good, cos' Joe has the fire in his belly. But will Joe run out of steam? Can HHS survive the onslaught? (only a bit o' fun
