Weston Super Saint

It's illegal to ride e-scooters on public roads / paths, yet there is an article on BBC website today bemoaning the number of children being treated for injuries caused riding them. It proves you simply cannot legislate for stupidity.

I was going to go with Blue sky thinking, but thought that was a bit cliché what with the current weather.

Compared to the cost of not running them and having no water? Besides, they could be owned by the Government and the cost recouped by 'selling' the water to the water companies that have run out (assuming they remain privately owned).

A number of people were quoting the Swindon example and saying it would happen to us. I'll hold my hands up as that definitely wasn't me. I expected nothing to come of it, but how wrong was I! I know my thoughts were blinkered and I guess it was more in hope than expectation. In the cold light of day, throwing us out of the competition is realistically the only punishment we could have been given as the precedent had already been set. I don't like it, I'm not over the moon about it, but it's happened and I accept it.

So, we know the climate has changed, we know it's getting hotter and likely to continue to do so. Year after year now we have hosepipe bans followed by announcement of droughts. What is the Government doing about it? Apparently we have just the one desalination plant on mainland UK and that barely ever runs because it is too expensive (it is located on the Thames). Why not take a leaf out of the Middle East's book and make use of the enormous abundance of water that surrounds our island to mitigate the effects of the hot weather? Or is that thinking too much outside of the box?

Ironically, this makes me very happy that he's in charge of the big red button. I assume the process for arming nuclear bombs is a pretty long one with lots of detail. Fortunately, it looks like he will fall asleep during this and when the fat orange cunt wakes up will either have forgotten what he was doing, or, more likely, have changed his mind. Never felt so safe.

It's why all the best posters have left.

To be fair, it's way more than '1'

Looks like they, and many other people were wrong about that.

That would have been entirely inconsistent with every other punishment ever handed out for confirmed cheating in a cup competition. There really would have been a case of 'moral incosistency' had that happened.

Clutching at straws there. Martin had the opportunity to manage us in the Premier League. He had the opportunity to take us to the heady heights of the Europa League. He failed. Miserably. The Europa League games for Rangers were despite Martin, not because of him. Literally any manager they chose to manage the team at the start of last season would have been 'managing in a Europa League game'. Any manager. Even Wayne Rooney had they chosen him.

There is no 'moral inconsistency'. We cheated in a cup competition, we were thrown out. Swindon cheated in a cup competition, they were thrown out. That seems pretty consistent. I'm sure Bielsa something, something, something will be mentioned, but that did not happen in a cup competition. That's before we get to the point about the rule not existing at the time.

Utter nonsense. We broke the rules, we were punished. Pretty simple. Trting to draw some equivalence to a cup competition and speed limits is, well, pretty simple.

Which criteria are you using to determine that the Scottish Premier League is a 'higher level' than the English Premier League?

What are you on about? Leicester is (was) a big club and they've played in Europe! All the boxes have been ticked. It's not Russel's fault that you interpret the box ticking differently. I suspect you are also one of the people who didn't truly understand how the game should be played.
