    Stop the clock

    That was really very, very naughty. He was obviously concussed, and a second concussion whilst in that state is supposed to be particularly dangerous. That said, I thought it was very decent of us not to try to take advantage, by actually attacking or sticking anything in the box whilst he was...

    Stop the clock

    I'd politely disagree with this too mate. I do love footie, but I hate the endless shithousing that's crept into the game and is becoming classed as "gamesmanship". It adds nothing in reality, imho. I can see how having how a pantomime villain or two gets the crowd going, but for all of that...

    Stop the clock

    Completely fair point mate, there's definitely still room for abuse, but I think just from a player safety stuff it's something that needs to happen for head injuries. If it also stops a bit of dicking about to waste time, so much the better.

    Stop the clock

    The reset scrum thing needs sorting for sure, but I think the ref is able to award a free kick if teams are obviously taking the mickey in their line out approach. I just wish they'd do it more often.

    Stop the clock

    I'm all for at least a trial of stopping the clock, things are just getting silly now. The other thing I'd say is that refs aren't obliged to stop the game for every injury. I'd clarify it so that for other than a serious contact injury, or a head injury, the game goes on. Players can...

    Public Enquiry into Sale to Wasps

    I can't help but feel that there are a lot of people missing a key point here: There is a world of difference between lawful behaviour, and ethical behaviour. There are set standards for the behaviour expected of local councillors, the Nolan Principles. The judicial review did not consider...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Uh oh. Just as we were getting along so well. :) I work in data too, and GDPR is a real pain in the arse but I'm 100% in favour of it. The key is the ability the opt-out of your personal data being processed, which in some cases is very much the smart thing to do. There's nothing more...

    What will the CBS look like

    House of Fraser, eh. Sounds a bit like Game of Thrones. Viktor is Coming! Anyhow, I don't care what it looks like as long as they get rid of all of that Wasps shite... sorry, but I feckin hate it!

    Why the fuck were Hoffman and Storey there?

    Warm bank. They had to heat the court regardless, might as well save a few quid.

    The funny thing now would be if Ashley turned up in the media the night before King was due to take final control of CCFC, saying that he was willing to offer more for the club but had been kept out of the bidding process.

    I'd have thought being without a chief executive for a year would be a literal benefit to the city, especially given we're paying a massive amount for the privilege and that the current holder clearly isn't capable of doing the job properly.

    Not entirely sure, but if you don't like him I guess I'll have to say that I think his was a serious, well-founded bid, that's been cynically derailed by dark forces within the Council. 😄

    That's just mean. I used my best joined up writing and all of my favourite colours and I even put little hearts above all of the letter 'i' and I drew a lovely picture of me and Mike and Joy and my hamster all standing by the arena under a rainbow with some unicorns and everything and then we...

    I'm filing the appeal as we speak. I've politely declined the assistance of Joy's lawyers. 😄

    Spot on. Now the real truth comes out. There's nothing stopping us offering to buy the stadium off MA of course, or indeed of MA offering to buy the club. Personally, I suspect the latter is more likely and that King isn't quite for real. Gut feel, no evidence, I'm not itk, but the timing...

    Jeez, SISU are really bad at this court stuff. Maybe they need to find another strategy...

    Feels like I need to prepare two posts, like Boris Johnson, so I can cut and paste and look like I was always behind whoever wins. 🙂
