#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”.

He’s brilliant.

Apologies, the plank thing was uncalled for. In normal situations do you think most people should vote in person, proving who they are. That only people physically incapable of doing so, should have a postal vote.

Siri show me someone making a fool of themselves by posting something inaccurate, straight after posting “get your facts straight”.

And that is why players exaggerate contact and go down easy. Sterling stays on his feet, and city end up 1-0 down .

Course it would go on you plank, he’s not going to give up the fight. Just as the sweatys who want to leave the UK continue to fight for that aim and remain supports will fight to leave . What is different is people using parliamentary and legal proceedings to stop the vote from being enacted in the first place . Anyone who thinks Gina Miller, Grievence and other assorted euro headbangers were only interested in ensuring a correct & orderly Brexit is deluded, they were trying to tie the process in knots until the whole thing was abandoned. If they could have got away with it, they’d have stopped it dead. As for Trump there is absolutely no doubt there’s been fraud, and that postal voting is nowhere near as “clean” as turning up on the day. There will be examples of dead people voting, of people voting numerous times, of “community leaders” harvesting votes, and other dodgy practises. These won’t make any difference to the result & nothing has been stolen from Trump. However, there is the wider issue that these things should be unacceptable, to turn a blind eye because they’re not election changing is complacent and wrong. Something needs doing about it if only to reassure the losing parties. Turning up at the polls, unless you’re physically unable to, and proving you are who you say you are, should be the bare minimum required. You have to ask yourself why certain parties seem to think this is an outrageous thing to propose.

Some of our fans are just as embarrassing, my wife’s Facebook feed was full of planks giving it large.

What happens when the Lino thinks it’s offside? For all we know the Lino thought Bamford was offside. If you think limiting VAR to 30 seconds will change anything you’re deluded. If Liverpool have a goal ruled out against City , that 32 seconds later is subsequently shown to be onside by .05mm, is Klopp going to say “fair play it’s an offside”. No they’ll then be pundits stating that the correct decision is all that matters, and why couldn’t they wait 2 seconds. An example will be dragged out showing an offside changed after 29 seconds, and they’ll be banging on about 3 seconds. The simplest way is for everyone to accept that offside is black or white, on or off. You can either have VAR deciding that, or go back to Lino doing so.

Who said I agreed with it, I was pointing out the fact he was offside. We also don’t know what the Lino would have given with no VAR. all the moaning about how close it was assumes that the Lino thought it was on. Because they’re told to “play on”, we don’t know . What if the Lino thought it was off by a bit more than it was? I didn’t want var. But in this instance it’s done it’s job. It disallowed an offside goal. As for Haller, it’s subjective. In my opinion he was interfering, the officials obviously thought otherwise.

His legs/body/head aren’t the only thing you can score with. You can score with parts of your upper arm/ shoulder , so you and Bamford are wrong.
