  1. Agreed, and your point about the whistle is absolute. Once blown the game stops.
  2. But if we left the EU this movement to Europe will turn into a flood.
  3. The assistants have been instructed not to flag for offsides if the decision is marginal but to let the game continue and see what the outcome is. This is understandable but I don’t think it helps the flow of the game.
  4. He was the manager’s choice and the club backed his ‘judgment’.
  5. The Wolves one looked even worse to me. Hung his leg out and ran into Hójbjerg? Trying to win himself a penalty.
  6. Yes, even under the old interpretations of it.
  7. Never a foul. Original was touched but nowhere near enough to bring him down. He felt the contact and threw himself to the ground.
  8. But for those concerned with workers' rights and the environment the EU provides a welcome safeguard against those who would exploit them.
  9. Then we differ in our readings. 'Competition' and 'unfair advantages' could just as easily refer to artifically low wages or extreme working conditions or looser environmental restritions as to a different tariff regime. So I don't agree that it is 'pretty obvious what it means'. It could just as easily refer to government support for individual industrial sectors.
  10. No trade deal can ever make you more or less competitive. All we are usually talking about is a few percentage points on a tariff anyway and these are more than offset by swings in the exchange rate. I read it as being more concerned with employment and product standards. The EU as a whole has far more clout than the UK anyway.
  11. I was told that it couldn’t be there because it was reclaimed land. I never found out why this should be the case.
  12. You've been reading 'Statistics for Dummies' again. These percentages are meaningless in isolation. Of the 11% who export to the Eu how much of their activity involves companies who don't? Of the 89% who don't, how much of their activity involves purchaes from the EU? And again, just quoting a percentage of companies doesn't reflect the size of those companies nor the number of people that they support, either dirctly or indirectly. What makes you think that any comnpany can become 'more competitive on the global stage' just because it is no longer operating within the ecosphere of the Single Market? What would they be able to do in the future that they can't do now?
  13. May 2016, do you mean?
  14. Good, glad we cleared that up Does it matter if it is front page or not? All that matters is getting the right result.
  15. No, just getting out for the sake of it is the worst decision you could possibly make. Whatever your views we must agree a trading relationship with the EU eventually but in the meantime our country's livelihoods will be haemorrhaging away. Getting out of the EU will not be the end of Brexit, just the beginning.
  16. (From 24th June 2016)
  17. I did read them. Hence my response.
  18. Which just goes to show that it’s not all bad news. Morphine is widely used as a pain killer, of course.
  19. And carbon dioxide is the best natural fertiliser that there is.
  20. Drums at football matches. Or any musical instrument.
  21. Phew. For a moment there I was worried.
  22. So in summary our goalkeeper is shaky, our back line is suspect and our midfield is sluggish?
  23. Yes, I've not been that impressed by Bednarek lately. From what I saw of Harry Kane's goal for Tottenham Benarek glanced across at him and then left him unmarked.
  24. Does the owner pick the team or coach the players and does he decide which players to buy?
  25. True, but PEH made most of his passes back to our centre backs.
