Any further disruption to the start of the season is really not welcome - the FA are sp slow because they’re knee deep in shite themselves, particularly when it comes to dealing with the likes of,Man City. I really hope Solak has the balls to take legal action if they’re too harsh on Eckhert given the punishment already dished out by the EFL.

Portugal vs Croatia. First time I have seen both teams playing for penalties from the kick off

It's at times like this that I'm glad to be abnormal...

The media bleating on that the "nation will start the week with no sleep" due to England. No. Most normal people who value their jobs and have responsibilities will go to bed.

It's just taken the FA eight weeks to interview the accused then, no rush. I'm guessing the whole case must have stalled when Gibson went on holiday after his Wembley breakdown.

I was actually referencing the comments around the financial situation in the article. I agree with your other comments btw.

Why did we want to keep him in the summer then ?

This is such pitiful bollocks. Again. Shameless prat.

Spain hitting some form. I can't see England suddenly put out a performance like that. If we do win the cup, and it's a huge if, it'll be done with scrappy performances. All IMO.

I saw him play a few times for Orient last season, including a hat-trick at Wimbledon. Take the sentiment out of it, he still looks like a decent League One striker who has found his level. We need to be looking at players that can improve the team and play at a higher level, not ones who could ‘do a job’…

According to this, ( https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/home-office-major-programmes-accounting-officer-assessments/international-law-enforcement-alerts-platform-i-leap-programme ), the I-LEAP program was instigated to make access to Interpol databases easier post Brexit because we lost access to SIS2 and ECRIS These Interpol systems are not as comprehensive as the services we have lost. From that document it does not seem that the Interpol systems actually hold the same level of criminal records data that ECRIS does, rather it holds specific details on individuals "of interest" ; From the Interpol website....... "Operational databases for first-line checks Travel and identity documents reported as stolen, lost, revoked, invalid or stolen blank; Notices – INTERPOL’s colour-coded system of international alerts or requests for cooperation; Nominal data – personal data and the criminal history of individuals subject to a request for cooperation; Travel documents associated with notices; Stolen motor vehicles and identifiable spare parts; Stolen vessels and engines; iARMS – illicit firearms. "

Where do you get £300 per week from?

You'll have to argue that with Interpol as they claim they do... https://www.interpol.int/en/How-we-work/Databases National police can search our databases in real time as part of their investigations.

Spain look pretty good apart from all the wasted scoring chances. Crap reffing though, has to put a stop to the Austrian thuggery.

Doesn't explain why we wouldn't have resigned him in January if we had the chance to do so.

I'm not saying England will win, but having seen a few people saying what an unfair advantage it is thought I'd do some research. They're not exactly world beaters against semi-decent opposition. Before this world cup in their last dozen or so games there they've drawn with Belgium, Portugal, USA, Canada, Honduras. Admittedly they have beaten Iceland, Costa Rica, Honduras and Jamaica which is incredible form.

Solak isn’t going to say we’re going to sell them off cheap is he 😂 if we get an offer that meets near our valuation he’ll go, it’s as simple as that

AI’s take on it: Following Brexit, the UK permanently lost real-time access to the Second Generation Schengen Information System (SIS II). This database contains millions of alerts on criminals, missing persons, and suspected terrorists. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] The primary effects on UK law enforcement and border security include: Loss of Real-Time Intelligence: UK police and border forces no longer receive instantaneous alerts, as they did prior to the UK's exit. Instead of checking a single database, the UK has had to rely on the Interpol I-24/7 network. [1, 2] Database Delays: Because of the loss of SIS II, EU countries are required to upload critical information twice: once into SIS II and once into Interpol. If EU authorities fail to perform this extra step, criminals can cross borders into the UK entirely undetected. [1, 2] Sluggish Investigations: While the UK secured automated exchanges for DNA, fingerprints, and vehicle registration through the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement, the inability to track foreign fighters and wanted suspects in real-time has been highlighted by the UK Parliament Justice and Home Affairs Committee as a major operational decline. [1, 2, 3] Future Systems: The UK government has been actively developing the International Law Enforcement Alerts Platform (I-LEAP) to speed up Interpol information retrieval, though UK Parliament Committeesreport that finding a substitute for the speed of SIS II remains challenging. [1, 2] You can read the full House of Lords Committee Findings or explore the UK in a Changing Europe analysis for more detailed operational statistics. [1, 2] Well done Nige 👏👏👏👏

Who on earth knows why - not even sure he does. As for the smuggler, get a police van and Home Office out to Leicestershire tonight (if he hasn’t gone to ground), cuff him for the UK offences he’s committed since he snuck in, and the Home Office can tell him his asylum outcome on the way to the airport on a one way trip. His expensive lawyer will go nuts but there’s nothing he can do about it. And if the authorities say it can’t happen that quick, some of my family are ex-police and it can and has happened like that.

You would hope so.

Not sure why Osvaldorama thought it was funny.

You’re correct in what you are saying and its another Brexiteer fuck up https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-migration-people-smuggler-leicestershire-b3007344.html However, now the Home Office knows about him, it is refusal and straight out. No appeals process neccessary as he’s already got the French conviction of over 12 months on record.

No news in that article at all. Seems to be speculation and fluff.
