But that isn't what the government (and most Brexiteers) want. They want no ECJ at all, at any cost And again, its cherry picking which bits of the EU we want. There is some leeway about bits of it no doubt, but not with their four freedoms or the British governments red lines. You say "cherry pick...

dsr

Obviously one of the main issues is that a load of these are tied into stuff like the ECJ. We can't agree that things should just carry on as they are on one hand whilst on the other hand saying we're not going to be bound by the body that is the arbitrator for the agreement, it just doesn't work. ...

Well it's more the assumption that if we go "No deal" then there won't be a deal (hence the name) for the single Irish electricity market. I've said repeatedly that I don't think it will happen (I think we'll end up with some form of inferior EU status with lots of regulatory alignment and none of ...

Hmm, some of the preparation sounds a bit comedy https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dh1b49KWAAII33v.jpg Aggi - it's the same old assumption that if we aren't in the single market, all trade with the EU will cease. It won't. In any case, the Republic of Ireland is a net importer of energy, and where does i...

Again, shows your lack of understanding - we can buy all the food we want from the EU, but its subject to the same border checks that have to be in place in the event of a "No deal" - You blithely saying there won't be checks when its one of the key parts of any Brexiteers belief for the future is ...

And if there are food shortages because of that "No deal"? Just how long do you think a "No deal" scenario is going to last in the event of that happening? Again, reality is going to bite and its going to ******* bite hard. And if the earth gets hit by an asteroid because of Brexit we're going to h...

dsr

Now I understand. I was thinking that that article was talking short term food shortages that could be solved by short term solutions. And when I was saying that the government could skip the checks, I wasn't saying that under Brexit there will never be any checks on anything for evermore - I was sa...

It might not be the politics. It may be that many of the people on the board have had something happen in their life even worse than losing a football match - with very little imagination, you can guess what - and think you're taking hyperbole to insane levels.

Cloud cuckoo land dsr There is a two way border, what the **** do you think will be happening on the other side?

dsr - you seem to be a bright chap, and always construct a good argument, but we've had this conversation several times, and no matter how many times you pose the question the answer remains the same. If we want to operate under WTO rules then we have to have hard borders and checks, and this inclu...

dsr

Dsr, why do you think the government are doing this? I mean, seriously? You need to face facts - a "No deal" Brexit means we have no existing trade agreements with the EU, which means we automatically default to WTO rules. "If the UK defaults to WTO rules (using copied-and-pasted versions of the EU...

Is that a bit like talking in Scottish, American, Vaticanese, or Norwayish?

dsr

Why does a "no deal" Brexit mean that we have to have checks at the border? Is there a rule that every single tin of peaches that comes into the country must be checked, or is it done on a spot check basis? Because with other types of taxes (eg. VAT) the transaction can happen without a government i...

dsr

Can we have a bit more clarity on this "reality"? What are they saying? 1. That it will be illegal to import food. 2. That is will be legal, but no-one in the EU will sell to us. 3. That it will be impractical to get food into the country under the new rules because there are no businesses with the ...

And now it's the 11th of July..strange how days follow on isn't it?

Penney and Penny - a South American goalkeeper discusses his transfer value.

The rumours make the transfer window interesting and provide something to get potentially excited about, so far it's been a long boring 7-8 weeks in the transfer window of nothing but predictable links to players we've been chasing for years. This is the point of football. It's good during the seas...

No there are a dozen more. But they all dry their hands on their trousers.

No. Or possibly yes.

But if a rumour would help, I can officially confirm from an unnamed and entirely fictional source that we are going to sign a League 1 centre half as backup, ready to be trained to England standard as usual.

They are usually not transferrable between different companies, and sometimes not even between different tariffs in the same company.

How do you pronounce, "Mr." or "Dr."? Is an abbreviation a new concept to you? Mr and Dr are abbreviations to shorten the written form, not the verbal form. Notts Forest is an abbreviation to shorten the verbal form. Do you think an aggressively sarcastic rhetorical question is a good way to finish...

Man City & Man United are acceptable abbreviations. As for the two Nottingham clubs, one is Notts and the other is Nottingham which can be abbreviated to Nottm. If you were in the city and referred to Notts, it is assumed you are talking about Notts County. They aren't and have never been Notts For...

Not all funds held in tax havens are savings. A lot of the big multinational corporations shift their profits offshore to avoid paying corporation tax in EU jurisdictions.

A few years ago they complained to our club because we'd put NOTTS FOREST on the next match board by the traffic lights. To be fair, you would expect one club to get another club's name correct. You're right. I've seen Man United and Man City up there as well. Just as bad IMO. Or just as trivial. I...

Remaining in the EU and applying the five legally-binding anti-abuse measures specified in the EU Anti Tax Avoidance Directive would have been a good start.

Really is time that the Ben Mee situation was resolved one way or another, been dragging on far too long now. If he was to leave then Ben Gibson would be a far more realistic replacement.

Best way to wind them up is to call them Notts Forest. ;) I agree. Notts Forest fans swear blind that their short name is Nottm, but they haven't the foggiest idea how it should be pronounced.

I'm sorry, is your argument now that the public can't make an informed decision on other thing either, so why not let them make an uninformed decision that can't be reversed the same way a general election can?

I suspect Theresa May is probably an extremely hard working woman.

It means the Minister for Brexit thinks the PM is doing her job very badly. So badly that he can't support her. It might mean that he's going to try a depose her. Watch this space!

dsr

So go on then. Assuming they can find the 48 (I believe that's the number) MPs to trigger a leadership election, who would stand against May? There were apparently only 7 Cabinet ministers who opposed May's "deal". (Out of 27) Johnson would not stand at this point, since his career would be over if...

They have to to ensure they get some sort of return fee, otherwise he’d just run his contract down & leave for nothing. That's only for under 24s. Once the player is over 24, there's no transfer fee receivable if he stays until his contract expires, and it makes no difference whether you offered hi...

At risk of taking you seriously, is Mr. Livanov even aware that the Soviet Union was an ally of Hitler until 1941, and remained an ally until Hitler ratted on the agreement?

After Chequers May will win any leadership contest hands down. Only those who call for the contest, possibly about 50 of them will vote for Rees Mogg, and in the interests of "party unity" (i.e. avoiding a general Election at all costs), the rest will support her.

Due to the commentators' and producer's very poor grasp of the situation (or of the rules), we didn't see the proper angle that would give definitive proof. But it looked to me like the ball was out of play before there was any contact, and I dare say that's why VAR didn't refer it.

The question was if the vote was repeated given the substantial increase in voters aged 18 and 19 since the original vote - young 'uns, who arguably have a greater stake in the decision than the wrinkles - would there be a different outcome?

I honestly think remain would win for no other reason than it’s obvious the current set of politicians are not fit to strike any sort of deal that could benefit the country.
