  1. Indeed they should be respected, but that respect gets eroded with every bizarre mistake - and we're not talking ordinary marginal mistakes that occur sometimes, we are talking huge basic errors that no one in their right mind would make. Rugby has got it right - there are so few mistakes that the respect remains and it's good to see. But football has a serious problem with the standard and consistency of refs on the pitch and operating VAR. Some of the weird things that we have seen this year are beyond logical explanation - football stands alone as a sport that has introduced all the correct tools but managed to get officiating this wrong. If anyone needs a rebuild during the summer it's the referees, they've had a shocker of a season.
  2. Farage said the acid test for Brexit would be fishing - the UK fishing industry describes it today as a disaster. Norway is celebrating, the EU must be pissing themselves laughing at us, we appear to have voted away our own fishing rights. Our fish cannot be happy, how can we cheer them up?
  3. So if Vardy stamps on you late, you get nothing, and if you get the ball, you get sent off? That seems fair. I can only imagine some gambling syndicate on the other side of the world made a fortune tonight on a first half red card.
  4. Does the bus company still have an open top double decker? If this squad gets a point they deserve the full city tour.
  5. Are we getting close to our worst ever top flight run yet? It's quite bizarre that had we started the season like this he'd have been gone ages ago. Yes, Ralph has bought himself time, but we were too generous to Pellegrino, for me he's the great lesson in hanging on too long when the obvious is staring you in the face, we only just got away with that one. I'd give Ralph the chance (and some money!) to rebuild in the summer, but if we get to November and nothing has changed, we would have to sack him.
  6. That was unlucky.
  7. You get rid of your former captain and he comes back to score two goals against you as the bottom side beats you comfortably?...on any scale that is a disaster. What with the ESL falling over as well it makes you wonder if Eisner's plan to be a global force by 2030 is still on track. I'm concerned about them now, they seem a little out of sorts.
  8. With Leicester hot favourites for the title, yes.
  9. I do hope the participants have broken Premier League rules and all get relegated. And has anyone come forward and said it's a good idea yet? Bonkers.
  10. On a brighter note, I did enjoy Hoddle and the other twat bigging up the arrival of the footballing genius Maddison - closely followed by his free kick that required accompanying paperwork as it landed in fucking Belgium. Eeyeore could have clipped in a better cross, with his weaker hoof.
  11. It was like Claude Puel but without the charisma. Who can blame Ings if he wants away? Our 'creative' players created zero. And why do we go gung-ho at West Brom then shut the door in this game to the extent that people like Bertrand are petrified of going forward? I suspect most people are just pleased we didn't get hammered, but honestly, we lost to the shittest goal in Wembley history and gave in with no fight. It was so dull I managed to watch the Grand Prix at the same time.
  12. On The Buses has stood the test of time - it's like a highbrow Mrs Brown's Boys, with jokes thrown in between the social observations.
  13. My Dad did four decades of service to Queen and country but it seems he missed the majority of the medals that were being dished out. By the amount of bling on display today, those Royals saw way more service than I realised...
  14. With Anne and Charles up front I don't see where the goals are going to come from, they probably went to finishing school but there's no pace. Harry and William out wide makes sense but Peter Phillips in that holding role will have to go long ball and hope for the best. Andrew won't be breaking sweat to create anything either.
  15. Sir James knows all about employing people from all around the world. The tax-efficient flag-hugger has closed UK factories and offices and moved jobs abroad so he can employ people all around the world. While loudly advising others to do the opposite.
  16. Get the players and coaching staff in at 8am tomorrow for an inquest on the last few months and thrash it out. Totally unacceptable.
  17. I see media sycophants are now trying to portray his unique brand of clumsy racism and disdain for the public as some strain of refreshing honesty that we should all admire.
  18. We could do a lot better, if we spent £50m. And we could do a lot worse when you look around the division at the Bentekes and Carrolls who still seem to be stealing a living.

    Coronavirus

    Can't Bill Gates just add a Covid status facility to the tracking App that we've all had injected into us? Then we could just be scanned, like in Lidl. Infected drinker in the bagging area...
  20. United look a much more balanced side with Dean in the middle, he's had a great season for them.
  21. Three great finishes, three points that keep us safe. An eggsellent result.
  22. On a day when we have dead-pig-botherer Cameron up to his sweating balls in seedy shit and serial-denier Boris exposed for giving taxpayer cash to a woman he was secretly fucking, while his wife was being treated for cancer, the BBC has a news blackout, hiding front pages they don't like during the paper review. They are literally editing facts they don't want to us to know, and instead leading with Jedward have shaved off their quiffs for charity, and a warning from the NHS not to be silly. Imagine if it was Starmer, Corbyn or Sturgeon?....it would be a feeding frenzy! But the casual voter gets to be spoonfed lovely warm no.10 PR drivel - don't bother the simple folk with facts and other nonesense. Here's Carol with the weather....don't mention the corruption, I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it.
  23. Some officers in Bristol are clearly totally out of control, have lost all judgement and have been battering anything that crosses their path. Their actions bring the police into disrepute, it gives a soft excuse to the dangerous nutters who are attacking them and the pictures make the UK look fucking terrible across the world. And don't anyone bother defending the behaviour of the minority of officers who have gone rogue, we've all seen the footage, save your breath, it's no hill to die on. They should have saved that level of violence for the dangerous protesters who deserve everything coming to them.
  24. While a teacher being in hiding and mass protests are clearly over the top, dodgy Jenrick posing in front of a flag sent to him by central office and a portrait of the Queen, telling us that you should be able to show a picture of anything to kids in a classroom is a man clearly off his trolley and wildly incompetent. Any teachers out there want to follow that insane suggestion and see where it leads? He was less annoying when he was caught out with his little piggy snout in the taxpayer trough, coughing up treats for billionaire developers.
  25. The assistant fucked up Ings' goal v Villa by flagging when he wasn't supposed to, they can't impose the current rules so let's not confuse them with changes. As for no offside, bonkers. Use the area, or a third defender, but no restriction at all would be a comedy circus. And while we're on time-wasting, if you want to speed up games you should get 20 seconds to take a corner, goalkick or a throw, that's easily long enough - and when a goal is scored the opposition can kick off after 30 or 45 secs, so stop all the pissing about with your long drawn out timewasting celebrations. 😡
