    I wander which of our players will be next in line for a constant barrage now you?ve the amazing love child of the hook.
    He's not off the hook army88, there is no point in hoping he will turn out better than he is because the law of physics simply does not work like that. If I put a frog in a jam jar and cover it with a cloth, leave it for three minutes and whip the cloth off I will still have a frog in a jam jar.

    You lot on here as old and wise as you are really miss the point sometimes

    Players develop / change and improve in as little as a moment of luck - service from others - shape , many reasons , when coaching youth teams I had instances of weakest becoming strongest and scoring goals when they never looked like it months previously.

    That?s why I sad patience and luck is required and not just the it has to be know this minute attitude that revolves around life at the minute.

    For all the comments on here you simply don?t become an international footballer and be bobbins it doesn?t happen - the lad deserves a chance I think after his luck with medical and physical injuries he needs a chance and some support not belittling and criticism all the time.

    He is not an elite standard footballer, Championship standard at best and nothing he has done suggests otherwise. Get shut.

    I was wondering when someone would bring up the case of Schrodinger?s Frog so thank you BT. While the jam jar is completely covered by the cloth the observer does not know whether the frog is still in the jar or not. The question of whether the frog (or for that matter Foster) when released from the jar will turn into a prince is different in that it is entirely an Entscheidungsproblem (decision problem) capable of being answered by a simple ?Yes or No?. I am glad to be able to clear that up for any of you who may have been confused by this conundrum. Professor Outwood, lately of Utrecht.

    We unfortunately we won't be able to give him away.

    He will more than likely play his contract out and leave on a free

    Not if Tommy Cooper was whipping the cloth off.

    Since Schrodinger's time, other interpretations of quantum mechanics have been proposed that give different answers to the questions posed by Schrodinger's frog of how long superpositions last and when (or whether) they collapse. In Foster's case regrettably, he will always be a frog.

    Once saw him at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool, I almost wet myself laughing. He was a funny dude was Tommy.

    Sometime in the late 50s we were on holiday in Southport, we couldn't afford anywhere more exotic, and my mum and dad took me and my sister to see Tommy. I'd have been 12/13 years old and I'd never seen anyone so funny, like you mon ami, it was all I could do not to pee in my underpants.

    When we used to do the Royal Tournament at Earls Court every three years, we used to always go into the pub round the corner because Tommy and his wife used to come in regularly. He absolutely loved the band and he used to have us musicians in stitches. He was a naturally funny bloke. RIP Tommy and thanks for making the Royal Tournament more bearable for a number of RAF musicians over many years.
