You can’t join the Brexit Party. All you can do is give it money as a ‘supporter’. Your wonder has now got even bigger.

The Tory manifesto promised “a smooth, orderly Brexit” and “a deep and special partnership” with the EU. Labour pledged “retaining the benefits” of the single market and customs union. (David Smith, The Times) A WTO Brexit (no such thing) would be an unmitigated disaster. No claiming necessary. If anybody says otherwise then they are a bigger fool than they would appear.

You never saw those two in the same room together did you. Just sayin'....

That's why they have to slow down enough to take a photograph.

"has made their body unnaturally bigger" Has the arm swollen to twice its normal size?

It wasn't that sort of a referendum, nothing mandatory about it, and there is no requirement for any vote to be implemented either nor anything to preclude holding another subsequent vote. That's a fundamental point of British Parliamentary democracy. No Parliament can bind a successor.

Jersey in the Channel Islands has ‘filter in turn’ which is similar to a multi-way stop.

It depends what has to suffer because of it. The flow of the game for a start.

Disgraceful. And stupid. One way not to guarantee a sympathetic write-up.

I agree with you. My concern with VAR is that slow-motion can make an accidental handball look deliberate and that the more times you see ar eplay then the more it looks as though the defender could have got out of the way.

At least you have ‘right on red’. And multi-way stop signs. I think they work quite well.

Just a thought... How do you know where the camera is? It takes me an age at St. Mary’s trying to see where Kenzie is doing her interviews.

Let’s not forget that a cyclist on a bike and not in a car is leaving the road that little bit emptier for the rest of us.

Talk to Rob Harris about this and you might change your mind. He was in charge of Tranmere v Sunderland in the FA Cup in January 2000 when Tranmere ended up with eleven on the pitch despite having a man sent off. I met Rob a few months later at a referee’s meeting when he came over from the Isle of Wight to talk to us. He accepted total responsibility for the incident but felt that he was entitled to some help from the other officials.

If you have given money to the Brexit Party you do realise that it is going straight into Fagage's offshore bank accounts?* 'The Brexit Party' is a limited company with a self-elected leader. Not a trace of democracy to be found anywhere. You might think that. I couldn't possibly comment *allegedly. Other untraceable deposits are available.

They are to start with. There is a lot that's wrong with penalties today, encrocahmnet being one of them.

With VAR the assistant on the line is told not to raise his flag for offside unless it is obvious. The 'thinking' is that te VAR referee can always sort it out later. I don't like it myself.

Me too. I gave the Tory scum my support all my life and they've dumped me in the sh!t. I trusted them as the party of business. Now they can go whistle.

Obvious, isn't it. Defender goes to ground clutching his head, attack over.

At present the goalkeeper can move as much as he wants provided he stays on his line. Previously (many years ago) he couldn't move until the ball was kicked. "The defending goalkeeper must remain on the goal line, facing the kicker, between the goalposts until the ball has been kicked."

No more dropped balls? There will still be circumstances where it is appropriate. Ball trapped under a player, outside interference of any kind.

A manifesto is a wishlist and nothing more than that.

TV coverage of games: TV directors who cut to the cameraman down by the corner flag just as the player out there crosses the ball. Replays of non-events being shown whilst the gam,e is going on. Shots of managers on the sidelines whilst the game is going on. Commentators who scream a player's name at the top of their voices just as they blast a shot way over the bar.

Two words: “coming up” Talking over the credits at the end of films. Shrinking the credits so you can’t read them just so they can tell you what’s on next. Recapitulating the story so far after every advert break People who say “would of” Drums at football games (actually this is a big thing for me) People who don’t thank you when you hold the door for them or let their car through before you. That irritating uptalk? How long have we got?
