    Don't allow the manager or coaches to communicate with the players when there's a stoppage for an injury, problem solved.

    Exactly and if we rushed out and bought anyone just to have a body in those same people would be moaning about signing players who aren't top quality

    This is always the thing. People talk about transfers like we decide who we want and that's it, they will sign. If we end up short in a position it's always because Robins & the recruitment team are clueless or King won't pay. Never because we've tried to make signings and they haven't come off...

    Bet Starmer can't believe his luck. Wins a landslide based on little more than the government being terrible and now they've elected a leader who makes the last few leaders look sane and competent. Struggling to see how her rhetoric will help them recapture the centrist votes they need to get...

    Things that annoy you

    Good idea that. The one I hate is when you work somewhere that decides to shut between Xmas and New Year as they have no work but then take it off your annual leave.

    A while ago on The Grade Cricketer podcast they described whiteball, well T20 but I think it applies to all whiteball, as background noise. There's so much being played you can turn the TV on at pretty much any point and there's a game. They're killing the international game with the...

    Things that annoy you

    Not fun working Christmas when everyone else is off but you at least want to feel its not being all dumped on to you. One place I worked there was 3 of us in a team. Between Christmas and new year there were 3 days back in the office that needed to be covered, so one day each right? As they...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Anyone who has had to spend years caring for, and paying for care for, a parent with dementia would quite possibly argue that the medical science keeping them alive for years past the point their bodies and brains is not what they would call saving them. For example the amount of money my Dads...

    all the tradespeople that are going to be out of a job when everyone starts doing everything themselves can go and work for minimum wage as cleaners, carers etc then we wouldn't need bloody foreigners to come over and do those jobs - problem solved!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Is this really a thing a lot of people do? I can't recall a single person in my office every bringing in a Starbucks let alone every day. They're also seeing a huge slump in sales. Not sure if this is actually a genuine thing a significant number of people do or just something that has been...

    Was pretty obvious there had been a massive drop given that every other year there's been a press release on the day of the final talking about how fantastic everything has been. Even those figures fell apart when you scratched the surface but this year there was nothing they could spin into a...

    Referee

    Starts at the top for me. When all you see on TV is players and managers surrounding the ref and getting in their face what do the authorities think will happen further down the pyramid? Its such an easy problem to solve as well, its not an issue in other sports because its not tolerated. If...
