No need. I wont make the same mistake again
Scottish football is pap
Thanks for turning up though 24 hours late

It's better than Welsh football, or Irish.

Your prejudice is showing.

Dont know why i do it

Always put Rangers v Celtic on and turn it off 10 mins later.

Terrible standard

Thanks for sharing.

Next week could you share your thoughts on other football standards? I'm sure the rest of the class would be very interested.

Thanks

He could certainly have been selective with who he told. Is it much different than people working on the stock exchange insider trading?

In that type of case the crime is committed by those who trade on insider info.

This is a bullshit punishment for a bullshit crime.

You can’t have seen much football then if that was the most obvious penalty you’ve ever seen.

Football sucks.

PeterWilton

My first reaction to it was benson that was a stupid tackle but when I look at the replay it looks to me that silva leaves his leg and and initiates the contact which for me isn’t a penalty. I’m glad we won because wolves dived and cheated and whinged all game long. What’s everyone else’s thoughts?...

I hesitate to post on this thread, but surely the point is: It doesn't matter what nationality you are, or what language you speak, if you've risen to the level of officiating at top level EUROPEAN matches, then you should be aware of what terms / words are acceptable, and which aren't The potentia...

What an absolute farce football has become. It seems every week the actual game is becoming lost in a myriad of politics and controversy. I've just realised I don't even know the result of Millwall's game at the weekend. That didn't seem to matter. All we get now are VAR decisions, racism issues, v...

No, they aren't. That's why the scientists who did the study compared figures for the equivalent population. You might have expected the scientists to make an elementary error that you could pick up on, but on this occasion they didn't.

You did that. That was your suggestion. Lol.

I think the NFL investigation lost impetus when they discovered the suicide rate for professional footballers was only half the suicide rate for the equivalent non-football population.

And as we all know NFL professionals are a representative sample of the general population of the USA.

You might be surprised how many defenders have to go off with head injuries after a clash with Harry Kane. And it's pretty clear that allowing free substitutions for injuries means unlimited substitutions. When subs were first allowed only for injuries, the number of players who were injured with 1...

PeterWilton

Given how difficult some head injuries are to spot immediately there should be a rule where if one player is injured enough from a clash of heads that they have to be substituted then both players must be substituted. I also think head injuries and serious injuries should be a free substitution. The...

Whatever the angle of impact or how much the Armco has absorbed, the team recorded 53G on impact. That's a hell of figure and he's very lucky not to have been unconscious which would certainly have had a different outcome. Hard agree. Without the HANS device there's a good chance he'd have asphyxia...

Clearly not a direct head on, probably even more acute than the 45 degrees I mentioned earlier. It’s clear from the skid marks. 814A4B89-F2EF-4F52-9C47-16C0E62A5313.jpeg It's confused a little because the angle of momentum was at an angle to the barrier, but the angle of the car was 90 degrees to t...

I'm half way through season 3 now, you can certainly tell the writers have changed. It's not the shift in emphasis for me, more the move to unnecessary inappropriate language.

Early in season 3 i thought the same, but by the end of the season I hardly noticed the cursing.

Hands down one of the best ever players.

By the end of the 20s all the major car manufacturers will be producing solid-state battery EV cars and that's when we'll see the shift from internal combustion to EV that we've been hoping for for the last 20 years.

Thanks for the summary, I’m glad you shared it. I was worried that I wouldn’t enjoy it when we get to season 3, but I feel happier to carry on watching now. Good good. Let me know what you think. The ironic thing about the OP is that while complaining that the show became "PC" in the third season a...

PeterWilton

Fwiw season 3 was easily the best season.

I'd stopped watching part way through season 2 because while it was OK, it wasn't impressive. But I loved the season 3 story and the less wishy-washy writing.

PeterWilton

What the heck happened?? You have a perfectly good White House/Terrorism yarn and then go all pc in Series 3. Never mind about all the good storylines they had and could have had, let's have stories about: the President's daughter getting her first period; the President suddenly has a transgender s...

I've seen that advertised, didn't realise it was the same fella who'd written it. I'll give it a go, cheers. The Newsroom is very good as well, as long as going into it you remember that it's a TV show and therefore it is of course an idealistic version of journalism and how journalism should be.

Watched that Chicago Seven the other day and agree about the humour, but also found it shocking how it ever made it to court and how the judge behaved etc. Definitely worth a watch though. It's written by Aaron Sorkin. All his work is like that. If you liked it I also recommend Molly's Game, he wro...

I’m getting really sick of seeing Covid death figures everywhere, on the media, in conversation. It totally blindsides other deaths (and ill health or misery). If suicides go up by 5,000 (not implausible) that is about 200,000 years of life lost. The average age of a Covid death is 82, in all proba...

Trump will win. Too many shenanigans in play. If I'm right and the election isn't fair, then the cost will be the loss of faith in democracy. Just look where that got us in the past. He might, and the shenanigans might work. But I think he's too far behind for them to work without being blatantly o...

Seems like those in Trump's team think he's lost legitimately: https://twitter.com/Boneless_USA/status/1322927412481437696 He's saying he's gonna claim victory on election night if he's ahead in the vote count. The problem with that is he's expected to be ahead on the night in the vote count in a l...

Looking at all the lawsuits it seems there are going to be so many votes thrown out Trump will win the election by a sizeable majority. Can anyone thing of a good reason as to the point of voting when you know you csnt win? Force him to have to steal it. If you don't turn out to vote then he doesn'...

Answers to questions could be interesting. Why do we need 4 weeks now when we only needed 2 a month ago according to Sage? I imagine the reason it needs to be (at least) 4 weeks now because we didn't do the 2 week lockdown when they told us to. Honestly, we deserve everything that happens. This is ...

Nate Silver gives him a 90% chance of a victory* That's assuming all legitimate ballots are counted. It might go up a point or two before Tuesday, but not much more.

The prime minister should announce the lockdown and then immediately resign. If anyone else, in any job, in any industry, had made wrong decision after wrong decision the way Johnson has in handling this they'd have either resigned or been fired.

That Sage model predicted that if we didn't have a lockdown, we would have 500,000 deaths, and if Sweden didn't have a lockdown, they would have 85,000 deaths. Their modelling is not gospel. But we did have a lockdown, and so we had fewer deaths than if we didn't have one. And I'm fairly certain yo...
