The public got it right in 1975 though, so it doesn't always result in a disaster. And the Irish public got it right more recently, after initially getting it wrong...

P.s. "democracy" voted in the idiots that promised a referendum in the first place... #rootcause

Including the one held in 1975?

Agree. I've always said people not blessed with intelligence (by birth or otherwise) shouldn't be allowed to participate in democracy...

Bit rubbish this year. That's all.

Cracking game

Probably avoiding futile "I'm right!", "No, I'm right!", "No, you're wrong!", "No, you're wrong!" bun fights on an internet football forum?

Sellotape

Business or pleasure?

So all Cameron and Corbyn needed to do was paint "Free barbeque flavour hoola-hoops for life - Vote Remain" on the side of a Winnebago and they'd have been victorious? You could've bally well told them at the time so they didn't have to do all that gritt d-teeth "the EU is great" malarkey FFS

Now that would tempt me vote Labour for the first time ever

So, not people banging on about it on football forums then?

I don't wish to start any conspiracy theories (honest!) but Ralph has gone from regularly predicting a return for Armstrong in "a couple of weeks" over the last couple of months to giving no timeframe at all, now just saying that he's still out. All seems a tad odd for what was originally described as a 'minor calf injury'. Yes, I know players can have set backs but still makes me ponder whether there was more to his injury than the club initially let on in the first place.

Hasenhuttl said at the press conference that Walcott was training but Armstrong wasn't

Walcott started full training today but Stuart Armstrong still out of action

I could be mis-remembering here, but I always thought it was the Remain camp that kept playing the fear card, which is why they came across as having a negative campaign rather than a positive one? As I say, could be my dodgy memory (I am human, after all...)

Even if I can be convinced that it 'swung the needle', one thing that is puzzling me is why on Earth the Remain campaign didn't counter it with their own 'effective advertising'. Given how it was so obviously a campaign winner (so I'm being told), why didn't the Remain campaign succeed in exposing it's deception? Given how it was obviously unachievable, surely it would have been easy to debunk? I still maintain the result panned out the way it did partly due to the ineptitude of those promoting the cause for remaining. (In other words, it's your fault #tongueincheek)

I'm no expert (does it show?! ) but I've just watched an item on BBC news where they explained how people changing their regular purchase patterns (in any goods, including fuel) can upset the supply chain. For example, they interviewed a petrol station owner who says he gets a tanker delivery every 5 days which lasts just over 5 days. So, if people start topping up more often than they usually do he'll run out of fuel in 3 to 4 days. I'm assuming most people wait until they're around a quarter full before refilling whereas I guess some people are now thinking they should refill at half full or even three quarters. He said if people kept to their usual patterns there is unlikely to be a major issue.

Usually Friday early p.m. for Sunday games, but haven't seen the usual trailer they put out for it yet. Edit: they just posted this as I hit 'submit' on the above post!

Fair enough. Was just wondering if not having a settled line-up could be a factor given its often cited as a contributor to poor form in 1st team football.

I guess the simple short term solution would be to draft in tanker drivers from the armed forces, but given the human race's propensity for knee-jerk over-reaction, that in itself would probably cause panic buying too.

Yep... More panic buying giving rise to more closures. #cause #effect

Whenever I look at a B Team starting 11 it always seems to be almost completely different to the previous match's team. Whilst I'm not trying to defend the team management here, do we know if the constant chopping and changing is an enforced situation or is it out of choice? It can't help if a team is constantly chopping and changing like it appears to. No time to gel etc. Would be interesting to see how our frequency of line up changes compares to other u23s teams.

What would be the tangible consequences of such a damaged reputation? (That are worse than Brexit) I think I would need convincing that the benefits of being back in the EU wouldn't outweigh any reputational concerns (which, after all, can be repaired over time).

I guess if the headline was worded: "BP temporarily closed 0.41% of its forecourts" that Murdoch link wouldn't get as many clicks...
