    George Floyd

    There's so much of this online its astonishing. Goes way past the 'bad apples' argument. And if it was just a few bad cops why are the rest of them standing around watching? The flip side is the footage online of a white member of the public dressed up in full combat gear brandishing a weapon...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    We don't have a working track and trace system. Even the government admits that won't be until the end of June.

    Presumably they have published this scientific advice so other scientists can evaluate it and confirm the government actions are correct? Unfortunately its a bit hard to just trust Johnson with his history and given several members of SAGE have said the course of action the government is taking...

    Next year season tickets

    That was a campaign about away ticket prices. It was also launched in 2015 so you've got 5 years of inflation to add for a start.

    Lyle Taylor

    If they start on June 20 he will only be under contract for 10 days, there's no way they're completing all the remaining games in 10 days so the reality is they are asking players to play without a contract. So what happens if he plays and gets a career ending injury?

    George Floyd

    Why do you assume that anyone who is against racism is a leftie? Are you implying that anyone who supports Johnson and co is a racist?

    If you became rich beyond your wildest dreams......

    Suspect that when things start back up again the NEC will be doing just that and aggressively going after business. They're far better positioned to do that than the Ricoh.

    What are you currently listening to?

    The best thing you could probably do right now is spend a few million on a hotel that won't be used because you've got no events :angelic:

    Question for you Dom. There's 2 rooms, both with 100 people in. In the first room is 1 person with Covid-19, in the second room there's 10 people with Covid-19. Which room do you think is safer for you to enter?

    George Floyd

    More police violence caught live on TV. You have to wonder if this much is being captured on film how much is actually going on that never comes to light? Their 'crime' was breaking curfew. Only problem was the alerts for the 9pm curfew were sent to phones after 9pm.

    George Floyd

    That may be the case but they aren't doing themselves any favours. There is post after post after post from this weekend showing officers all around the country exhibiting disgusting behaviour. Some of which have been posted on this thread.

    George Floyd

    Really? Mike Abumayyaleh, the owner of the store where the counterfeit $20 was used, has said Floyd was a regular and never any trouble. He's also stated Floyd at no point resisted arrest. Not sure what point you're trying to prove here. He was being restrained in a manner not taught or...

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Money. More Championship games are televised so they have a much bigger issue if they have to pay back a portion of the TV money for games not played. Same for all other income, its far higher than at our level. Plus due to wages being high the benefit of furloughing players is minimal...

    George Floyd

    Only took a few minutes to find that there may well be more to it. The person who shot the video, Elijah Schaffer of Blaze TV (an alt right host on a Conservative online channel), has said "I cannot confirm he was the store owner". Dallas Morning News have since confirmed he wasn't the store...

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Pressured by who? We know what is being voted on so it’s down to the clubs. I don’t think the PL clubs or TV companies give a shit what happens in L1 and we all know they’re the ones with the power.

    Unbelievable!!!

    Very obvious difference being they're making sure everyone will have played the same number of games not proposing to ignore games that have already taken place.

    For the 9th day in a row no figure available for the number of people tested. Now gone from blaming a technical error to saying its been paused to ensure consistent reporting. Is that government speak for trying to find a way to fix the figures so they look less embarrassing?

    Most irritating things during the pandemic

    Its sad to see the state of the parks and other public places. Had hoped that having seen how positive the impact had been of people not being around people would treat it as a reset and show more respect but its back to normal and people treating everywhere like shit. How hard is it to clear...

    Todays daily briefing is a complete mess. On how to identify if a track and trace call is genuine the advice from Harris was ‘It will be very obvious. These are professionally trained individuals. It will be evident from how they speak.". Schools fine to open up but she says play parks are a no...
