Turns out he hasn't been injured at all, he's been in Turkey for the past month.

You're talking about CT aren't you?

CT has definitely fantasised about pasty Liz's ample tit sweat.

If anyone cares how their special red and white relationship with Stoke is going after a third rate manager fucked them off for far bigger club Stoke… it’s going

Outstanding title

The Kremlin are crazy like. They spend half the time threatening a nuclear doomsday scenario and the other half complaining about russiophobia

We are going to be paying for the mistake of ever electing the Tories for the rest of our goddamn lives. Once out of power, the party should be investigated for criminal negligence over the economy and shut the fuck down. It's not even about a difference of opinion anymore, they have ruined everything. Everything they have touched has gone to shit. Yes some of these causes are global in nature but they have left the country so frail and poorly disposed to deal with them because of their self indulgent, corrupt bullshit. We cannot afford to have the Tories in government ever again, they are dangerously incompetent. I think I'm at the stage where I'd join in if there was a move to forcibly remove them from power. We cannot afford any more of their incompetence, we really can't. Cretins like Truss pulling £100bn out of her arse for fucks sake, shit like that has consequences that span decades. I have zero trust in the money being used well or in anything like an optimal way. I have every expectation that we will be forced once again under the Conservatives to accept a lifetime of lower living standards just to indulge these venomous weapons. May they all burn in hell, along with everyone who votes for them from this point forward. Ignorance isn't an excuse anymore.

A response from that Peston thread.

Im not even sure how accurate offsides are. They have to get the moment to the absolute split second that the ball is hit (or released) and then have the same view/perspective the linesman has. Some of these are so minor that I don't think they are 100% accurate with technology.

They are, and always have been, a party of destruction. They’ve destroyed communities, unions, rights and now the country. I can’t think of one, single policy of theirs that benefitted the population as a whole, as opposed to the wealthy.

It doesn't matter than trickle down is bollocks - just like likening the economy to a household budget or the magic money tree - those concepts are hammered home by the media and ingrained in the average voters mind. If only someone could have the bollocks to point this out without being scared of upsetting focus groups of cunts.

Yep. If they're not getting it right 99.9% of the time, then the VAR system is fundamentally broken. There is no excuse for these errors. This decision was universally seen to be an error. In football, where fringe opinions and attention whores are everywhere, that level of condemnation is almost unheard of. Lee Mason should never be involved in football ever again. The level of incompetence is such that he simply cannot be placed above suspicion of deliberate wrongdoing now and going forward. And, if someone wants to be so polite as to preclude the possibility of corruption, then the level of incompetence is sufficient to have him dismissed. It is inexcusable. Also, I think I can speak on behalf everyone when I say an apology means absolutely nothing. Apologies from people who can't be trusted have no meaning as an apology is usually tantamount to a commitment to avoid making the same mistake in the future and/or providing retribution in the present. How about we replay the match? That's closer to fulfilling the provisos of an actual apology.

Put it this way, if you think that Truss becoming PM is the nadir of British politics I’d suggest you prepare to lower your sights.

Comes to Boldon twice a day….

A mic for Saturday's would have gone something like: "Willock collides with the keeper which prevents him from saving it - foul, no goal" If they didn't consider the push on Willock then they wouldn't have mentioned it - unless there's a second viewer to debate/argue.

I suspect there’s more to this … … call me a cinik.

Looking at it , even with help, office wallers will be asked to work from home, care homes, hospitals and schools will partially or wholly close, as will factories etc. Retail too. It’s going to be beyond brutal due to no price cap for commercial & industrial tariffs

“ Make big savings by turning off the tv and having a a family session of excavating and collecting ear wax, which can then be made in to cheap, environmentally friendly candles, you poverty stricken cunts”

It's actually only 47% of eligible voters.

They should just scrap the fucking thing. I thought it would be a heap of shit before it was brought in and it’s honestly worse than I even thought. They’re not really getting much more correct using it than without it, even the ones being shown as examples of it correcting something can often be the ref or linesmen not making decisions knowing VAR will review. There’s no way the % of decisions they’re getting correct over just allowing the on field ref to referee it is worth this fucking hassle.

You're talking about CT, aren't you?

J69 definitely didn’t approve

Why in fuck does she have a cardboard cut out of Johnson?

So we’re no longer “all in it together “ ? 🤔 That shitty book her and the rest of the coven of cunts wrote may be a good guide to what’s about to happen

The VAR system is not broken, the referees using the VAR system are broken. It's like they feel they have to leave an imprint on every game, make their existence known. Both situations cited they had no reason at all to interject. They haven't even said sorry or confirmed that the decisions were wrong above, "acknowledge the incidents" is the most cowardly politician style response possible. Unfortunately these are not alone, they just happen to be the most obvious and blatant fuck ups. It's kind of good that they happened so closely because there's at least a chance that they do now take some punitive action against those involved as well as some steps to reduce the chance of more incorrect interference in the future.

But Rayvin, that's the thing, any and everything that is VAR relates should be 100% correct otherwise what is the point of having someone review the situation from multiple angles with normal and super slo-mo sources? It's a joke that we even need to go, "oh but it got three decisions right for us" - that's not how it works, it has to get every decision right for us and every other team it is officiating upon. Anyway it appears that even the referee's association knows it is fucked - doesn't help for the points lost but maybe Lee Mason is out of a job.

I’d erode her liberty and sell my kids to do it.

Well tbf, that is quite a lot, they manage to fuck up on a weekly basis and have zero self awareness.My favourite was after taunting us with "Enjoy Burton", the very next year them getting relegated by Burton with the crucial goal goal scored by Darren Bent. Filmed for posterity by a Netflix documentary supposed to be about their promotion. I mean, you couldn't make that shit up, pure kismet.

Needs to change her profile pic to really cause carnage.

Pedal to the metal through there from now on. Only two days a week in the office, thank fuck.

Highly selective, rugby union pays lip service to respecting referees. Refs used to be able to take the ball forward 10 yards if you as much as breathed in the refs direction after he’d made a decision . That doesn’t happen now because the game is reffed from a van, same as football….of course there are differences in approach but at least football refs are still paid to decide how long the game lasts for. Not that they get that right every time either…

I'd love to see mic'ed up refs and broadcast the conversations they have the VAR official though.

Clearly absent the day they were dishing out charisma. I agree with Renton as well. She's banged on about 'uniting the party' but she's going to form a cabinet based only on her supporters. Fingers crossed it rips the parliamentary party in two.

The Kremlin have nailed it: Join the club comrades.

Lets be honest here, this gif is the best thing about this thread getting bumped.

Have his gaffers had a word with him? Where has this reasonableness come from?
