Calderwood should go if any potential replacement is as experienced and as knowledgable as she is.
If not, she carries on until the crisis is over. You don't throw your best people overboard, just yet, even if they have fooked up big time.

The thread must stay. If posters can rein it in a little, make their statement/counter statement and move on, we should be fine. It's the running sores continually exacerbated by McCartney and Co. that mess these threads. I'm not reporting it again, CT must be sick of me, but some of these clashes w...

Sorry to those this will upset but skiing, definitely.

There's a series of lakes not far from us. The fly-fishing one is shut, sadly, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of the carp lads weren't pulling a few cheeky all - nighters down there.

I was talking to my mates Arlo and Alan last night. Their parents had a sense of humour.

I grew up with him and Les at Edge End.
All the best to Bob's friends and family.

I think this thread is invaluable. Links to the best news sources would be a good idea but posters tend to refer to these, opinion polls notwithstanding, anyway so the balance and genuine subsequent discussion is generally fair....

Last I heard, any serial bickerers and thread-wreckers would be given the boot. I, for one, have made a conscious effort not to get suckered in again by the worst offender but others have fallen for it, which is a pity.
This thread MUST stay open.

Nothing virtual about the £20 I lost.
Still, all in a good cause and it will be interesting to see how much has been raised. No figure released yet, I don't think.

Is this the Bob Nuttall who used to live at the top end of Nelson as a lad and had a brother, Les. Went to Edge End and both great spportsmen ?

It's the same deliberate thing in a lot of cases. There's a young lass doing voice-overs on Channel 4 who deliberately and sometimes inconsistently drops het "t"s - oooe, missus - and her artificiality grates just as much as the gangsta crap or folk beginning any sentence or response to a question w...

As more NHS staff die, the less we'll see of the front bench, I'm afraid.

Better not to talk about, lads. Let's er, see what happens, see how it pans out and then discuss - or not - but under NO circumstances must any government action be questioned at this difficult time. To expect the government to be accountable, for good or bad, would just be sniping and point-scoring...

Not such a lovely day. Great singer. RIP.

I'd be surprised if, in a time of grave crisis, the government weren't approved by 52% or even more, tbh. We'd really be in the **** if not.

I think it's important that journalists and, indeed, the public question what is happening now. A stupid, disingenious suggestion to say wait and see what happens before assessing what have been effective responses and what have been mistakes. We know what's gone well but dodging responsibility for ...

"if I was in their position earning their kind of money I certainly would be happy to take a pay cut" - most people would but it would be your decision to ccept that, it shouldn't be forced on you.
Had to laugh at Matt Hancock, of all people, preaching about others taking pay cuts.

That'll be a "I can't." then.

I would imagine the managers were too busy trying to juggle insufficient resources to even consider how the hell they could buy PPE.

No shirt sponsor at all would be an even better design.

It's clear that the Government's pathological dislike of funding NHS resources responsibly, whether materials or humans, is now coming back to bite them - and us - on the arse.
Still, a bit of clapping tonight should make it all OK.

That whole sorry mess would have been averted had the govt done the sensible thing and designated dentistry as essential service - which it is - even if reduced to emergency procedures. I remember typing a bit of a post out on another covid thread about dentistry the day full lockdown came into for...

I did wonder if heavy smokers in particular would be a little more nervous than the rest. They've as much right to treatment as anybody else, of course, but I think back to one of my neighbours in Nelson as a lad. He'd got horrific chest problems but continued to smoke the strong ones all day, every...

Good one.
I didn't notice that. I thought you meant Pri, Pickford, was the terrible disease.
Not as funny when you have to explain it............

Isn't there a Burnley prog v. Southampton (?) that's incredibly hard to get hold of ?
Again, a postponement, I assume.

evensteadiereddie

No agenda here, just a genuine question.

If you smoke, however frequently or not, has the Covid-19 outbreak changed your attitude ? Are you now trying to give up, will give up in the future or saying along the lines of "To hell with it, if your number's up, it's up." and carrying on regardless ?

And that, boys and girls, is how you write an article.
I was just looking at the semi-final and final programmes at the weekend.

If the club, as employers, need to reduce wage costs of playing staff in order to ease any burden and wish to do so is fair enough and a different matter. Should the players take a wage cut to, somehow, help other low-paid workers ? Absolutely not. If, as an individual they want to donate their time...

I don't think anybody would disagree with your top 4 BFC goals ever, CT.
As you point out, their order of importance is a matter of debate, but they have to be the four.
Now, what would the fifth be, I wonder ?
