    Everyday is a school day

    They should say that more than 3 dots means more is left out than usual ...

    The Houthis can't be militarily compared to ISIS as Iran has equipped them with all sorts of shit so their response will be a quick indicator of what will follow 

    Not to be a khunt, but as you mention every day being a school day, "every day" is two different words (unless of course you're talking about an everyday occurrence). This misuse rips my knitting.

    I agree. I dont like how Rangers do things, especially what seems to be pandering to the lowest of their support however I dont dont understand the criticism of some on here for them seeking answers.

    Every club has had questionable decisions made against them. Some much worse than what might have happened to Rangers last week but its the responsibility of each club to seek answers and fight their case.

    The fact that other clubs havent done that much and then Rangers have gone all in should be a criticism of the other clubs, not Rangers.

    Its about time the other 10 non OF clubs got together and formed as collective to give their voice more weight. Why this hasnt been done makes me question the motives of the owners.

    The huns must be told to fuck off. They should be charged with bringing the game into disrepute. Get them so far to fuck. A disgrace their witch hunt is being enabled by the media. Why are the other clubs not outraged? Every one of them has had decisions go against them much worse than this. It wasn't even a wrong decision! Get them to fuck.

    It all really depends if she has broken the law.  If not she saw an opportunity and took it. I think the Uk government need to look at their procurement procedures.   

    I heard stories of pest control companies making millions out of PPE.  Lots of other small time trades guys setting up companies, getting bounce back loans and folding.  The inflation we are now seeing is as a result of the money pumped in to our economy during lockdown.  I am still not convinced that the hard lockdowns we had were the right thing to do.

    Let’s not pretend that Michelle was the only one at it.

    I know you're just a parody, but it needs to be said that the vows expressed here are pretty repugnant. 👍

  4. Clarke was forced into a couple of changes. He's also in the position of using this game to try a couple of things that are probably not first choice options. What a great position to have been in, especially given the lack of friendly options there will be. And it was a draw, not a defeat. Under the various circumstances, I'm happy. I think people are overreacting a bit. 🙂

    Not really

    All of us have had to work all our lives

    My parents and their relatives were all working class when that meant something and none of us had any savings to note except my Dad's sister and she only accumulated her wealth due to being unable to have children and her husband dying of cancer in his 50s just after being medically retired by the fire brigade.

    She got his very good pension for her remaining 30+ years and had good financial advice

    Losing a quarter of a million of her money to the English Treasury is a slap in the face

    Only the really wealthy benefit from a cut to Inheritance Tax - not the wee guy

    * wee guy with £740,000

    You start off saying the silence was immaculately observed at a match You went to and then say there's no respect I'm society.

    Which is it?

    If I am totally honest I'd stop armistice day because it doesnt mean the same now. Since the Blair days It's become basterdised and weoponised by right and left. The right seem to take some sort of fucking sick enjoyment out showing how much they remember. 

    The very far right, well we saw what they think it means on Saturday,  it's for white brits only according to them. 

    People used to observe it well without the massive need to paint lorries with poppys, slap massive poppies on lamp posts or the front of cars, put tommy soldier cut outs in their gardens or have massive displays at football matches. It's tacky as fuck.

     

    Agreed. And I find it sad. The world wars resonate with me and I have studied them professionally and the individual stories and the losses remain powerful.

    But I have no interest in the spectacle it is today. I can't even attend a memorial as the forced nature of it doesn't sit right with me. But that's fine, I can remember in my own way, without banging on about it to those who have no interest.

    Ripped from Wikipedia....

    The question of "feinting" during the run-up to a penalty was popularized by Pelé in the 1970s and it was called paradinha, which in Portuguese means "little stop".[50] It has occupied the International FA Board since 1982, when it was decided that "if a player stops in his run-up it is an offence for which he shall be cautioned (for ungentlemanly conduct) by the referee".[51] However, in 1985 the same body reversed itself, deciding that the "assumption that feigning was an offence" was "wrong", and that it was up to the Referee to decide whether any instance should be penalized as ungentlemanly conduct.[52] From 2000 to 2006, documents produced by IFAB specified that feinting during the run-up to a penalty-kick was permitted.[53] In 2007, this guidance emphasized that "if in the opinion of the referee the feinting is considered an act of unsporting behaviour, the player shall be cautioned".[54] In 2010, because of concern over "an increasing trend in players feinting a penalty kick to deceive the goalkeeper", a proposal was adopted to specify that while "feinting in the run-up to take a penalty kick to confuse opponents is permitted as part of football", "feinting to kick the ball once the player has completed his run-up is considered an infringement of Law 14 and an act of unsporting behaviour for which the player must be cautioned.

     

    Cheers! That's good to know. 👍

    Now find the bit which outlines that the ref should always disregard the six-second rule. I'm sure it's still part of the game. In my day it was four steps. I remember when they first brought in the six seconds, it was penalised a lot. Now, not so much.

    Feinting in the run up is ok. Dummying kicking the ball is an offence though and a free kick goes to the defending team.

     

    That's interesting. I'm sure the stuttering run up was supposed to be banned sometime in the past, but I did suspect that was no longer the case as you see it quite a lot these days. I don't really keep up with all the law tweaks. 😄

    I’ve heard some stuff about Sheridan that makes me think he *wasn’t* set up, the gist of being that the story in the NOTW was essentially true, that he had been in the swingers bar, but they’d got the dates wrong which meant he’d been able to alibi himself.  

    Yeah, and it may be true. But it may not. In which case, it's more unsubstantiated hearsay! Exactly my longwinded point.
