I said as much to my other half who's best friend is in charge of admissions at Bournemouth Uni....towns and cities all over the country have handed over huge swathes of their central business districts to multi million pound student accomodation investments and the kids banged up in them this month will sharp learn about the effects of that as they will literally have to fight the investors mate's in government to get out for Christmas....

According to this, English refs aren't interpreting the new law correctly..... https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/handball-law-new-rule-premier-league-2020-21-ifab-b625917.html

On the face of it, that’s correct....eg pass back to goalkeeper rule & offside rule have both changed in the last 30 years but you have to look at the context why the changes were made. These two rules were changed in an attempt to make the game a better spectacle. Pass back undoubtedly did, the offside changes caused a lot of confusion. The handball in the penalty area rule has changed twice in a year because of VAR. I’m not a fan either of the context or how it plays out on the pitch.

The rules have been changed to fit in with VAR, which is a tiny bit bizarre as VAR was supposedly a cure all for all refereeing mistakes...but now we’re changing the 150 year old rules of the game to keep twats watching tv & commenting on the internet happy....it’s fuckin nonsense...

it’s funnier than telling a stranger his home towns a shithole..

Think I know ugly mackem’s alter ego....it’s been there for years, hiding in plain sight....

Bit harsh there, he’s from a good family, which, let’s face it, is the important thing....

Howe is likely to turn us down as he's unlikely to take a job north of Watford

You cleared that coal from your bath Andy Capp? Concentrate on that and not on the bucolic idyll that is Dorset... ps I'll be here tomorrow morning...

Off the top of my head, and in tribute to my dear mother who was a bit of a Percy fan as I recall, he did some sound effects for some sort of “call of the wild” type wilderness adventure film with grunting yanks in animal skins etc..,lots of snow..,

@wykikitoon So sorry to hear mate

I think Johnson will outline stiffer penalties tonight. And perhaps incentives to grass up your neighbours etc...

NI are into mild lockdown with 6 people only allowed in gardens from two households....it's difficult to imagine that won't be a measure nationwide by the weekend.

More good news...

Listening to James O’Brein.... last time Sadiq Khan spoke to the PM: 10th May The first minister of Wales has had one brief phone call with the UK government since 28tn May We’re mostly alone. The gimps from the cabinet are on a PR campaign every morning and that’s about it....

Nowhere is being locked down to the extent they were in April/May. Everywhere with a till is open....
