Never a free kick in the first place. Keeper knocked it long for flick to Defoe, but a shocking decision

What the hell are you on about, have you been drinking. Do you realise that England , Scotland and Wales are parts of the same country. People from Bavaria may feel more comfortable with people from Hamburg than from athens, is that their German island mentality ? And how is Cardiff particularly different from English cities.

And Cyril Smith , lord Rennard, David Laws, Chris Huhme and the guy whose just admitted to deliberately getting aids as a suicide attempt .

He's better than ormerod . People banging on about the price don't seem to understand contracts and how the market works . If Clynne had 4 years left on his contract he would cost someone more than he will in the summer , yet he is the SAME player . I've been watching football for over 40 years and I've not seen many players give absolutely everything like he does . Of course this doesn't make him special , but people fawn over wasters like gaston . He's a good honest pro , good squad player and appears to be a decent bloke . I'm glad we signed him and couldn't give a flying **** that he cost £12 mil .

Nigel's been campaigning hard today , no rest for him ( I don't know how to take a screen shot of the tweet) . @GarethJFuller: Nigel Farage talks to local people at Thanet Beer Festival in Margate.

It says something when Bear is the voice of reason on a thread that doesn't involve sex ( no offense Bearsy)

As people are throwing " facts" around, here's one. Pelle wants to play for saints, Lambert didn't.

Isn't Luxemburg a tax haven for big corporations and in the EU. Anyway why are you having a pop at Monaco, you can drive through with your family without realising you've changed country and that seems important to you. You did not answer the question. You implied that our euro scepticism was a result of our " island mentality" , is Switzerland an island, what about Norway. How's their island mentality?

What about the Swiss have they got this " island mentality" ?

Being a member of the EU comes with certain " rules" one of which is free movement. Instead of admitting this and sticking up for the EU , the establishment parties lie, bend the truth and throw insults . It was refreshing to hear Leanne Wood speak the truth, shame others won't.

Loving the chuckle brother's political debate.

As previously posted UKIP's base are dissatisfied Tories . However , they've picked the low hanging fruit and are now seeking to be an alternative to labour in labour heartlands outside of Scotland and London . You can see this by their shift in policy towards nhs spending & they seem to be moving away from some of the radical ideas they used to believe in . A Cameron led Tory party will not do any sort of deal with ukip , no chance IMO . Euro scepticism when ukip was formed was always about sub section x of section y of some obscure eu directive , meaning the eu superseded the British parliament . This used to allow the established parties to claim Europe was way down on peoples concerns . What Nigel Farage has done is link unskilled unlimited EU immigration to EU membership , and as it is clearly linked , the mainstream parties cannot dismiss it as an unimportant issue . As someone whose opposition to the EU is the democratic deficit , I was hoping that he would expand this and link other ills as well ( eg tax , policing and justice ) . People like tony benn and bob crow were anti EU , but they would never be ukip members . The situation is that you have nobody to vote for except ukip if you're anti EU and it's the kiss of death for your front bench career if you want to leave the eu . I always vote UKIP in the European elections , and are more than likely to this time . This is not because I'm racist or a little englander , but because I want to leave the EU and passionately believe that Grammar Schools should be part of parental choice in education .no other party has those 2 policies . I also want a smaller state and believe that UKIP stand for that , although they are watering this down in their chase for labour votes .

Peter Hitchens was spot on about the debt and deficit on QT last night . He gave both establishment parties clog , but was particularly hard on the Tory economic plan . For the record he also had a dig at Nigel , so I'm not posting out of any bias . If he didn't have such an annoying condescending manner , he talks quite a lot of sense . People are put off by the 20% Christian nonsense he spouts and the manner he spouts it , but he nails the established way of thinking time and time again . Him and mark littlewood are head and shoulders above other commentators IMO . Littlewood edging it because he's a big saints fan .

You seem to be dealing in whoopers yourself, perhaps you could work next to Nigel in burger king. The EUSSR health card specifically excludes health tourism. The scheme is to allow people to continue their stay in a country without having to return home for medical care; as such, it does not cover people who have visited a country for the purpose of obtaining better medical care. Therefore if a Bulgarian aids victim wanted to move to the UK because our treatment is better, we are perfectly entitled under EUSSR dictate to refuse him free treatment .

Just looked up the said poll , and they asked two questions " who performed worst" , but also "who performed best". As you posted Nigel was voted by 22% as having performed worst. I wonder why you didn't post the " who performed best" result. ? Could it be because Nigel won that with 24% , as opposed to cleggys 10% .

Complete and utter nonsense. Firstly, where does this poll come from , other polls have milliband winning, some have Farage winning , some Cameron , and the majority Sturgeon . It doesn't really matter what a uk wide poll says as the snp are only standing in Scotland . It doesn't really matter that 20% of the people thought Nigel performed worst , unless any of those 20% were kippers or thinking of becoming so . The leaders will have targeted spcefic types of voter to appeal to, rather than a balanced sample of uk voters .A national poll is a complete red herring . How did Nigel poll with ex Tories , Milliband with floating voters and how did Cleggy poll in the south west and in the constituencies where their cabinet members are standing . These debates are totally over hyped , Cleggy was the " winner" of the last election and ended up with less mp's than the pervious parliament .

I didn't watch the debates , but caught up with them on here and other social media . One thing is obvious to me , but nobody seems to touch on it , so maybe I'm missing something . All media is awash with who won , or who was best at this or that , but that's not the important thing . Surely all they need to do is move a small % of the electorate . Nigel's HIV comments may have cost him a " win" or made people mad, but those people were never going to vote ukip anyway it's not like anyone sat there and thought " right , that's cost Nigel my vote ". It's more likely some floating Tories , working class labourites or non voters will agree with him , so outraged people who hated him in the first place don't really matter. The greens may have only got a small % of people thinking they won, but if some of them are labour leaning lefties , then Bennetts done her job . Everybody looks at it through the prejudice of their own politics . I felt before the debate that the hardest job tonight was Red Eds . He had to appeal to " soft " Tory voters , whilst holding up the Scottish part of his vote . Not an easy thing to do with SNP there who basically had a free hit at him . SNP had a perfect set of circumstances , Cameron wants the sweatys to vote SNP , so didn't need to go hard on them . And she genuinely is an outsider and not a Westminster politician ( despite being a politician her whole life ) . My questions to those who watched it is ; 1. Would Ed's performance move a few votes in Tory / Lab marginals and also head off the ukip challenge in a few urban poor areas . 2.Did Nigel's performance make tactical voting more likely in Thanet to keep him out . 3.Will Sturgon's performance play well in Scotland and maintain the stranglehold they appear to have , 4. will Bennetts performance switch a few labour lefties and sandal wearers from the lib/dumbs ? These things will matter more than " who won"

The Rooney rule is a pile of pony . Define "black" , surely there are various shades of colour . What about Asians , or maybe chicks , or gays , why don't we ensure every vacancy in football is opened up to everyone . At the end of the day football clubs would find an excuse to hire The Yorkshire Ripper if he was available and a great manager . They're certainly not going to say , we'll employ , racists , biters , ****ers, drink drivers , murderers , and complete and utter tosspots because they're the best at te job, but we draw the line at A black manager . Barnes is a shiete manager , end of. That's why he didn't get another job . He only got the Celtic job on the back of his playing career , so to start moaning about " opportunity " is a bit much .

I always find it strange that any mention of privatising the health service or making vast amounts of money via private provision , always seems to overlook doctors role in this . Mrs duck needed a non emergency op . Without going in to too many details , it wasn't that big a deal , but it was bothering her . She saw a nhs specialist and was given a date about 10 months away . It was really getting her down , so being the modern metrosexual hubby I am , I said " I'll pay for it" . Rang up and was quoted £250 for initial consultation , then about 3k plus cost of drugs for procedure ( if memory serves ) . Went to the initial consultation and was seen by the same specialist we'd been seeing on nhs . Yet doctors representatives will in in the forefront of " save our nhs" campaigns

All the lefties getting their knickers in a twist over it, will change their tune come the EU referendum. Then they'll want us to " listen to business" .

I always thought The thick of it took the **** out of both parties, I didn't realise it was just Tory bashing.

The anti tax avoiders Labour Party, have today got their first celebratory endorsement. The bloke from the office. What could possibly go wrong for this anti tax avoidance party and their famous supporter. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/alison-phillips-rich-tax-avoiders-1759478 Is she from Portsmouth?

He'll hold the vote, its the renegotiation that will be the BS. He'll do a Wilson and claim some spurious tinkering around the edges and hype it as some sort of major change in our relationship with the EU. The establishment are going to con the British people again.

Bercow has been a pretty decent speaker , however the power of the speaker means that his election should be by secret ballot. The policy was right , but the timing of it turned it into a political act. Tory MPs get accused of all sorts, but some deserve respect for voting against the government and defeating it.
