What did he say? Only managed to see a bit, but he was making it clear further draconian measures would be taken if the public didn't follow the strong advice being given to them. He said it's ok for people to go out, amongst other waffle about enjoying parks. The point is that we're nearly a week ...

quoonbeatz

Another appalling press conference from Johnson. He's seriously just said it's ok for people to still go out.

This is the most out of his depth, irresponsible prime minister we've ever had, right at the worst time.

That chart is strange in a way as the numbers definitely follow a pattern. Whilst it will get worse it has affected one region in Italy more than others and their family and healthcare structures are different.

We have half the number of icu beds that Italy has.

Some of the media ask the most stupid questions Should those planning hols in the UK go ahead? Do they really have to ask such a question? Considering the answer given to that question was the usual "We're advising people to practise social distancing.." waffle, instead of a firm "No, they must abs...

I took it to mean we can turn the tide in 12 weeks but only if the public adhere to social distancing guidance and where necessary self-isolation. Yes and it was only the "we can beat it in 12 weeks*" bit that was all over the front pages. I took it to mean exactly the same but there shouldn't be a...

Then asked if he will visit his mother? Answer: "I hope I get to see her" Correct answer would be "No, that would be irresponsible at this time. I would encourage everyone to stay at home and avoid unnecessary contact." Contradictory and mixed messages from the PM will cost lives. Exactly. The late...

quoonbeatz

I've seen Johnson make numerous serious points and he said this just yesterday which I wouldn't describe as semi-jovial: "Because if your mother is elderly or vulnerable, then I am afraid all the statistics show that she is much more likely to die from coronavirus, or COVID-19. We cannot disguise o...

I really thought that the hard-hitting messages,from ... Boris Johnson Keen to know where you've seen any 'hard-hitting' messages from Johnson? All I've seen are a few semi-jovial press conferences with a few sound bites he's hoping will catch on. No real leadership whatsoever, exactly as most peop...

Have to say, it struck me as unusual to have such prominence on the BBC. I guess this time next year we’ll see for certain. All about 'balance' with them isn't it! :roll: Next year would have been a better time to run with it but not whilst there are still people not taking this situation seriously.

Interesting figures and something else to think about:

A massively irresponsible headline and article.

quoonbeatz

This latest press conference is the worst yet. He's so far out of his depth it's incredible. Man's an absolute w@nker.

quoonbeatz

Most recently used an Asus zenbook which was about 94% coverage and was a cracking laptop.

Think they're about a grand or so.

Most midrange laptops have rubbish screens unfortunately, loads only cover about 50-55%.

quoonbeatz

That first half was some of the best football we've played under Dyche. Spuds were absolutely shellshocked but we needed the second goal that our dominance deserved. Pope - 7 comfortable, very little to test him Bardsley - 6 clearly suffered with his knock Tarkowski - 8 bizarre if he's not in the En...

quoonbeatz

He's missed no more key chances than wood or Barnes this season.

quoonbeatz

No qualms with the decision but once again the communication from the club is woeful. Genuinely no idea why they so often fail at something so easy.

quoonbeatz

I gave him a lift to the airport once in Ibiza. Really sound guy. That was back in his radio 1 days though with Bobby Friction.

VAR was spot on today, it's the handball law that is a mess.

The second disallowed goal was 100% the correct decision. I don’t even know how anyone can contest this although I’ve heard both Keown and Sutton do just that.

Keown contested it despite saying he hadn't seen it, the massive tube.

quoonbeatz

Nobody can complain about the bookings, there were some poor challenges. Thought Dean was fine - he couldn't have had a good view of either of the two big decisions and wasn't helped by the clueless liner on the bob Lord side. That's what VAR is there for though and they got both calls right under t...

quoonbeatz

Pope - 9 awful conditions for him but he handled confidently and made 3 very good saves due to his positioning, the one with his foot from Wilson was superb Bardsley - 6 goal-saving tackle in the first half, solid otherwise despite zip going forward Tarkowski - 7 relatively untroubled but why he nee...

Staff of Life, Waterloo, Swan and Cemetery, The Trafalgar from my time working there though admittedly that was quite a while ago. Waterloo and Trafalgar both gone, unfortunately. Swan is a food pub and won't really be missing the football trade too much. The Staff remains but is probably on it's l...

We have had great value in the past with players like Gray, Ings, Austin, Trippier, Mee, Pope, Taylor, Tarkowski etc Who have we signed in the past two seasons that can honestly match any of those for impact and coming in and improving the first 11? All but of those were signed for the championship...

Saint & Greavsie did a piece in Dec 1990 when we played Stoke in the FA Cup. I've not been able to find it on youtube but Greaves spoke very fondly of us that day, reminiscing of when he used to play against us. I always remember that for him saying when they came down over the hill and down Manche...

Any goal that goes in off the bar makes it the best.

from telly obvs: pope - 8 great handling in the worst conditions for a keeper, big chest at the end bardsley - 7 sound tarkowski - 9 imperious mee - 9 same - what a partnership these two have taylor - 9 thought he was outstanding again, wish hendrick had gambled on his cross in the 2nd half westwood...

quoonbeatz

Genuinely can't see Dyche doing that. Can you? Mee wasn't leaving anyway.

Pretty sure Gibson will have come knowing he had a fight on his hands to get in the team. Always seemed a decent lad like that, prior to this.

quoonbeatz

Nobody is promised a shirt. We'd be running things really badly if they were. Really nothing to get too upset about with this situation. An expensive signing that hasn't worked out for the player, unfortunately. Difficult to see why anyone sensible has a problem with it - he's not got in the team be...

I fully support our continued trolling of Middlesbrough. Sending a player to train with them, who they desperately want to sign but can't, is fine work.

quoonbeatz

100% a better footballing side when he is in the team. Gets us up the pitch, links midfield and defence, creates space and opportunities for others and works so hard for the team. Correct. Been saying this since he signed. Still a role for Barnes, mind. He's needed to keep Wood and Jay on their toe...

Pope - 8 comfortable, not remotely tested Lowton - 9 superb, kept Aubameyang quiet and was excellent going forward Tarkowski - 9 the tackle on Lacazette was top drawer, who remained dominated for the entire time he was on the pitch Mee - 8 only losing a point for his passing which was junk at times ...

In terms of goals, no, of course not but there's more to football than goals.

Pope - 9 slightly generous as another one has gone through his feet but you can't really ask any more from you keeper than he produced today.

Thought I hadn't been to a cup game since Stanley away but I went to the first City game as it was a tenner and a mates birthday so went boozing in town. Can't see me going to a cup game again unless it's the later rounds or might be a fun away trip.
