  1. That's all very honourable but that should have been the position up until about 4 months ago when it became patently obvious that he isn't up to the task. Someone has shown a serious lack of judgement by not firing him in good time and if we go down then that will be the primary cause for me.
  2. Well no because I find rip to be even more of an empty platitude than what I wrote but I'd rather hope that the ones left behind who knew him personally are being supported so they can find the sadness more bearable.
  3. Undoubtedly better. Its why I had some sympathy with those wanting a loss.
  4. I think what's more interesting is how much her majority shrank and how well AFD did. Across Europe there is a move away from traditional left wing pro European parties and a growing number are voicing their dissatisfaction for the EU. It will catch up with them eventually even if the numbers haven't yet translated to electoral success in the main.
  5. You haven't exactly been famed for your foresight. I'm happy with the judgement of my own eyes after watching every game he's been involved in so far. He doesn't do nearly enough to justify his inclusion as the lone striker. We bought him because there were very few or none who were happy to join us.
  6. Doesn't put anything into perspective as I didn't know him and he's just an image and a name on a screen but I'm sure his family would be very sad that he passed away so young so I hope there are people supporting them.
  7. Seen nothing to change this assessment so far.
  8. Nah. If we were 3-0 down to someone like Stoke at home then there would be a load of protests. The problem is we have been awful and unadventurous all season but not inept enough that we have been hammered.
  9. Apathy. The reality is we are at the mercy of the owner and with the insipid performances there hasnt been a hammering bad enough to spout anyone into action. As it stands we are out of the relegation zone with a chance of survival even if its small. Tough to get people up for that.
  10. Stay strong whelk #prayforwhelk
  11. I was going to write that! Haven't the foggiest.

    VAR

    Because if its in a world cup final or a playoff final, cheating can be worth hundreds of millions.

    VAR

    That's the problem then in that case. It shouldn't be used in matters which are 50/50.

    So the answer is you are going to ignore them then. All you did was quibble over semantics about Henry and ignored my overall point and the other examples I gave. I think it's really obvious that there are some decisions that aren't debatable and I gave you a couple of examples to illustrate that. Debatable decisions shouldn't use var to decide but travesties of justice like Maradona should absolutely be overturned, particularly when the stakes are so high and so much is riding on it. To have a game decided by blatant cheating is totally wrong and I support measures which would remove that sort of thing from the game.

    What abiout the the decisions I highlighted earlier that you have ignored?

    And the other two decisions? Regardless the Henry goal should jot have stood, it was a clear and obvious decision that no one would give having seen the replay. That's what VAR is for.

    VAR

    If someone punches the ball into the goal like docoure or Henry or Maradona then var would be useful to overturn those very obvious wrong decisions. Absolutely no one who watches those replays would have any doubt at all saying they should not have stood.

    It really isn't subjective. If a clear and obvious error has been committed then use it to rectify them. I'm thinking of Henry in the world cup qualifier for example which was a travesty of justice. If you used it in that way then most games it wouldn't even get used.

    I meant for things like that Watford player against us. I also said if there is any doubt then it reverts to the referees original decision. It looks to me like the refs are judt calling in var to relinquish responsibility for their decisions at the moment.

    VAR

    Yeah I don't think it works well St all in its current form. Should only be for specific decisions such as handball abd if it crossed the line. Any doubt at all and it should go back to the referees initial decision. They need to shown it on screens as well so the crowd know whats going on.
  21. Various Labour initiatives over the last few years clearly indicates that they will do something similar to Canada and prioritise "diversity" and "equality" over the health of the actual economy. Its what always happens when someone is as ideologically possessed as Labour clearly are- most recently when employing a racist as an advisor. In Canada, equality of outcome is prioritised over growth and given the types of people in positions of influence in the Labour Party and some of the things we have seen and heard already, its really likely that they would walk a similar path.
  22. Take a good look at the Canadian budget for examples of what the UK will look like under Corbyn: http://nationalpost.com/opinion/andrew-coyne-the-liberals-deliver-a-federal-budget-that-has-nothing-to-do-with-budgeting-or-the-economy/amp?__twitter_impression=true
  23. But that's clearly not what he meant.
  24. I don't know why people got so hung up on the transition period anyway. A few extra people coming in is nothing compared to the unlimited immigration from the past 20 years.
  25. But if the EU know that is the intention then why would they not just be as unreasonable as they possibly can because they don't want us to leave?
