It was a fact that the coach told him chicks didn’t like the ball being hit at them.

Looks good on paper, although having a penis may hold him back.

They are awful in nets, terrible. I don’t buy the “scared to get hit” as some are as brave as men. But they don’t seem to be able to dive naturally or catch the ball into their bodies. Maybe their tits get in the way, I don’t know . I guess Clarke talking about that would have got him in more trouble than he did.

True. The only candidate that Trump could beat was Hillary Clinton & the only candidate Biden could beat was Trump. Beside these clowns even Jimmy Carter & Ford seem like Titans.

If it were true, why shouldn’t he mention it?

You can bet your life his replacement will be a chick or BAME.

Sending best wishes to Badger & Mrs Badger, look after yourselves, hopefully you won’t get hit too hard.

For dinosaurs like you it must seem hard to fathom. We’re all coloured, white is a colour you know. So some blacks find it offensive when it’s used in the context of black people only. I thought everybody knew it was offensive ( I thought you were in HR) , so I guess some dinosaurs like yourself & Clarke aren’t up to date with these sort of things. Clarke deserved the sack, anyone who goes in front of Parliament knowing they’d be asked about these issues and isn’t fully briefed, prepared and aware of the language required is an incompetent fool undeserving of his role.

Decent article, far better than that arrogant smug twat Winter or professional Manc Holt. At least Rod doesn’t take himself too seriously unlike 99% of opinion writers. Being a old fashioned leftie he’s obviously going to get insulted by the hipsters, but I enjoyed it.

#morepony Please point me in the direction of any post that indicates Trump is a hero of mine? In my eyes his ability to wind up lefties,is his only redeeming feature.

Come back 4 years after any vaccine & we’ll see if normality has returned.

Normality will never return. The establishment have got the whiff of control in their nostrils. They’ve created an army of job worths and snitches that aren’t going to hang up their high vis jackets. I’ll bet my life there will be restrictions on what we eat & drink, and more monitoring and control of “bad behaviour”. The relationship between state & individual has changed for a generation and the state will be getting involved in things they’ve no business getting involved in. We’ve seen it with Rashfords school diners pony,and soft arsed lefties like you will want a permanent furlough type scheme every time there’s a down turn. Roll on The Reform Party.

When I lived in FLA you had to have photo ID & it was an offence (under a vagrancy act I believe ) not to carry some form. There weren’t loads of “marginalised” people being charged over and over. I also worked on the doors of a club and, the enforcement of the drinking age was far far stricter than it was in the uk. We checked everyone who looked under 30 and in my 4 years there, never once did someone not have photo ID on them. I don’t know about other States, but in Florida having photo ID is as normal as taking a piss.

I was concerned about the lack of Garth Crookes rant this season, we’re nearly a quarter of the way through and there was no sign of one.

People who don’t have that ID can’t attend Labour Party meetings or events. I don’t believe for one minute that the “poor & marginalised” don’t have ID. How on earth do they get by? You have to prove who you are to rent a house, so where do they live, in tents? How do the younger looking ones buy a drink, how do they get a job, how do they access benefits? Do they just turn up and give their address?

How do you know the Lino wouldn’t have thought Bamford offside and flagged anyway, they’re told not to flag. Everyone is looking at this from the goals chalked off angle. But how many goals have been scored this season that the Lino thought was offside and would have been ruled out pre VAR. We’ll never know because they don’t flag. I’ve never wanted VAR, because anyone with half a brain could see this happening. You can’t put the genie back in the bottle and you certainly can’t have offside goals being allowed, when you’re using technology. The only way you can use technology and have a degree of error is some sort of appeal process as per cricket. Palace probably wouldn’t have appealed the Leeds goal as they’d have thought it onside and wouldn’t want to lose their right to appeal a later error. But we’re not there yet, we’re at the stage where VAR is deciding whether it’s off or onside factually. What would Roy Hodgeson & the pundits say when told it was actually offside, but only just, so it was allowed.

You’re right, it shouldn’t be difficult. It’s pundits and people with views like yours that are making it so. How can a factual decision be subject to “clear & obvious “, it’s either offside or onside. Exactly the same as no balls, run outs & stumpings in cricket. Nobody says “the bowlers foot was only 0.005mm over the no ball line and it’s taken the third umpire more than 30 seconds to decide , therefore he’s out” do they? No they wait for the technology to determine if it’s a no ball or not and then give the decision. You seem to want offside goals allowed because they’re only just offside. Anyway, we don’t know what the decision was in the Bamford case, because linos are told to keep their flags down. For all we know the Lino may have given offside were there no var. Either VAR or the Lino can decide. I’d rather it was the Lino. But choosing VAR and still allowing offside goals, defeats the whole object of having it in the first place.

Brendan O’Neill, spot on again. The great irony of the current liberal fury with Trump and some of his supporters for casting aspersions on the 2020 election is that these same liberals did far worse things to democracy over the past four years. They make Trump look like a rank amateur when it comes to throwing a temper tantrum over a democratic outcome. Their temper tantrum lasted for four years. In the US, the elites went berserk, fantasising that evil Ruskies seized victory from Hillary. In the UK, the Remainer elites used every trick in the book – from court cases to parliamentary intrigue to gatherings of vast numbers of middle-class anti-democrats in the streets – to try to prevent the enactment of 17.4million votes for Brexit. Their criticisms of Trump’s behaviour are laughably hypocritical.

That makes voter fraud ok then. Provided someone wins by a lot, who cares if it’s proven dead people voted.

What difference does it make whether you take the line from the forwards feet or his head? Yes, Bamford would have been onside, but in other cases, for example someone coming back from an offside position as the ball is played, they’ll still be minuscule distances in it. The back of his heel could be offside, just as Bamfords shoulder was.

The states protect their independence passionately, it’s not going to happen.

Don’t agree I’m afraid. It’s a union of states. States should be free to set their own criteria.

The same id you need to attend Labour Party events.

Asking people to show id is reasonable, it’s 2020 for gods sake. Labour want id to attend their conference, but don’t think it’s fair that voters provide it. Why do you think that is?

We didn’t have a vote to join the common market either. To quote yourself. “Get you facts straight”.
