  1. It wouldn’t surprise me either, seeing as it was touted on this thread yesterday.
  2. 9 people in the whole of Dorset tested positive last week, 9!!! And that’s not, became very ill of it, or were hospitalised by it, or god forbid, died from it. Just tested positive. That’s after all the mass beach gatherings, the opening up of shops & pubs and everyone under 25 pretty much giving up on social distancing. It may live amongst us, but it’s not really much of a risk at the moment.
  3. Correct. Their one and only time before Howe. Redknapp had been banging on about it for years, so funny how he’s now forgotten. The best thing about their recent success is it eclipse anything Redknapp did and Howe has nicked his Mr Bournemouth tag. Just wish someone would take his mayor of Sandbanks title off him , because as a Poole resident having that cockney twat appear every time the town is mentioned pisses me off. He’ll turn up anywhere, even opened the new toilets in Hamworthy last year.
  4. This. He didn’t actually save much, shots used to hit the big lump, but I don’t recall too many “how did he save that” moments. Arsenal away maybe, but even then most of the attempts that night just hit him.
  5. Paul Cook would be a decent appointment in their present situation. Tony Pulis lives in sandbanks.
  6. Mush on touch line at halftime claimed the 4th official told the arsenal bench it was because he made an attempt for ball and under new rule was a yellow. He even went as far to say had it been out of box would have been red.
  7. Regardless of whether you had a cancellation policy or not, if the hotel is not available, you’re entitled yo a refund. If the Government advise against travel, your insurance will kick in. The only way you’ll lose money is if there’s no flights to the area, but the hotel is still open. However, chances are there’s no flights because of Government advice, so your insurance pays out. Of course if you think, fuck that I’m not going at the moment you’ll lose your money. This diy holiday being a risk, is pony. It’s no more of a risk than any travel agents, just a lot less expensive. They’re just arranging a diy holiday for you most of the time anyway.
  8. 2 awful refereeing decisions. They’re claiming the pen wasn’t a red because he made a genuine attempt to play the ball. Pony, no way did he. Then the sending off was a joke.
  9. Fuck me, the BBC coverage of the cup final is so unprofessional. Ian Wright, shouting and jumping around like a demented idiot. It’s all lads down the pub vibe. I’m lucky enough to remember when Brian Moore had Cloughie, Big Mal, and others giving their views, not these frigging muppets. Like a pound shop Saint & Greavsie.
  10. I turned it down. Place needs abolishing, but no point in getting angry. They all do it, from Wilson to Johnson. Part of the establishment stitch up and always will be. Philip May deserves a knighthood for being married to that old trout for so many years & it’s good to see a proper bloke like Beefy rewarded. Clearly the best thing about these nominations is Bercow being snubbed. Delicious.
  11. Spot on.
  12. I don’t care what anybody says, there’s been times when he’s been poor and looked like he couldn’t be arsed. The excuse he doesn’t like the football doesn’t wash with me, that’s unacceptable. However, he was fantastic this season and at other times has been class. Overall, he’s been a really good player and one of our best buys. I guess there’s a reason he’s still at Southampton & hasn’t got a shit load of caps, and it’s probably to do with the poor spells.
  13. Ryanair pushed us right to the limit. We were booked to go the Sat following lockdown. It was obvious we wouldn’t be flying but Ryanair kept sending emails reminding us to check in online. They also kept sending separate emails asking if we wanted to take advantage of a free amendment offer & move our flight. The snap dragon was insisting we changed it “before we lose our money”. I held firm and 24 hours before we were due to fly they cancelled, which meant I was due a refund.
  14. Correct. I really don’t understand the confusion. If your flight is still flying and your hotel still open, you have no right o a refund regardless of Government advise. However, you can claim on your travel insurance, provided you took it out pre virus or includes pandemic cover if you didn’t (unlikely). If the airline or hotel cancel, they legally owe you a refund. Companies are making it as awkward as possible for a refund, but legally have to. I used charge back to get mine back from Ryanair as the dicked me around so much. Anyone who has booked a holiday since March which isn’t refundable or has a free cancellation policy, is a fuckwit of the highest order. I won’t be booking a non refundable one for a good long time.
  15. What are they basing their decisions on? But Johnson isn’t exactly covering himself with glory lately. The great lady would have handled this so much better.
  16. They certainly know how to fuck the travel industry whilst making zero difference to the spread of the virus.
  17. Just read that they’ve now changed the advise. After representations from the Spanish, travel companies & MP’s that it was ridiculous to include the islands for quarantine, but not FOC advice, especially when the virus is more under control than uk, the government have fixed this inconsistency, not by relaxing the 14 days, but by advising against travel there now. I won’t cancel just yet, as they’ll probably change their mind by Friday.
  18. It may have changed but the FOC advice was for mainland Spain, not the Canaries. You have to quarantine, but insurance is still valid. Its part of the Government’s joined up thinking.......
  19. The whole things a farce. My snap dragon doesn’t need to quarantine, she’s received an email from the NHS saying she’s exempt. Nothing about partners or others living with her. The way she reads it, after returning from Spain, she can go to work, the 2 children we live with can go to work (they’re not coming away with us), but I have to quarantine. I guess the virus only attacks certain professions. One thing for sure, if by some miracle we catch it on a safer Island than Britain, she’ll do more damage and infect more people working in a hospital, than I will in my job. Still, the scientists know best.
  20. Agreed. But there’s not much wrong with the side he picked. Maybe a couple, but nobody’s going to pick a side everyone agrees with. The poster makes out Crooks is totally out of sync. He’s not on this one.
  21. Can’t see much wrong with that side. What’s your point? That Ward Prowse or Bednarek should be in it?
  22. West Ham didn’t exactly bust a gut. Keeper awful for the goal. But it’s a long season & the worst 3 go down.
  23. How would Mane have acted had we told him we wouldn’t sell for any price and insisted he completed another season? How would lambert have acted had we said no. I’m not sticking up for Lallana, just pointing out that others who left “properly “ only did so because they got what they wanted without causing a stink. They’re all disloyal at the end of the day, if they weren’t Rickie would have staying banging them in for Bristol Rovers.
  24. I see, that’s different. I was lucky in that my March & June flights were cancelled by the airline, so I was due a full refund (although needed charge back to actually get the money). Back in the early summer companies were desperate for people to rearrange flights and holidays rather than have a refund, so maybe that’s still an option. One thing for sure the Government have royally fucked over the travel industry yet again with this measure. Who will confidently book anywhere knowing that they could do the same to any country at the drop of a hat. The inconsistency is laughable. The Government advise is essential travel only to mainland Spain, but not to the islands. Yet you still need to quarantine upon return from the islands. I’ve a mate with a bar in Gran Canaria, they haven’t had a death for 39 days, have 3 people in hospital & 1 in intensive care, that’s not just Gran Can, that’s all the islands. In the whole of the canaries 17 people under 60 have died from it. If anything they should be quarantining us when we arrive, rather than the other way round. I could travel up to Leicester at the weekend and go to work Monday, but can’t if I’ve travelled somewhere where it is well under control. Is anyone thinking clearly & actually in charge or are they all running round like headless chickens.
