    Die Happy Moment - Cov Edition

    Said before, introduce an ‘umpires call’ equivalent. Stop pretending the tech is infallible and revert to the on-field decision when it’s marginal. Obviously you’d then have to define ‘marginal’.

    Immigration and Asylum

    Regardless of the fact that’s not really linked to anything, the answer is not to kick everyone out, whether here legitimately or not, it’s to police it properly!

    Aled Williams & John Dempster

    It’s not entirely related but here’s a quote I found on why teams don’t have players on posts any more, which kind of covers the same aspect.

    Aled Williams & John Dempster

    There’s clearly a bank of data suggesting that having everyone back for corners reduces the chance of conceding, but that almost becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy as all teams do it so your data pool for other approaches shrinks.

    Championship thread 25/26!

    My gut feel is that after 75 minutes the result should stand, but only in instances where the abandonment is due to conditions. If it were protests, etc then you either replay or it’s forfeited.

    Blackpool v Huddersfield. Granted the score was 0-0 at the time but there was never a replay of it.

    Aled Williams & John Dempster

    Also the fact they seem to be responsible for set pieces which haven’t exactly gone to plan for a while.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    2 reasons: - Haji can play that left-sided role as effectively as EMC in my opinion. - It would have given us a genuine chance at a succession plan. I just feel Kone was underpriced when you compare to the type of winger we’d be paying out for. RW and ST would have been my ideal.

    Judging the Frank Lampard change

    Performances clearly light years ahead of our start last season. I said after the Cardiff game (Lampard’s first) that I thought this is the style he wanted. Squad a little thin to be playing high-pressing football consistently though so there is a risk it drops off.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Fair point, I’ll ring MI6 and let them know.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Or a winger and striker. Still a bit miffed we didn’t make a play for Richard Kone.

    Transfer Rumour Carl Rushworth

    Someone (think it was @HuckerbyDublinWhelan) floated the idea that he lacks concentration. Looked back and when he was at Swansea he was facing an average of 5 shots per match - until today that was 2 per match with us. It’s a slightly different skillset dependent on how busy you are and my gut...

    Why could he not get it going last season at Luton in your view?

    You’re not interested in a discussion on this, as has been shown many times, so pointless wasting my energy.

    Which is by its nature a wealth tax i.e. you’re making it more costly to own assets with a sliding scale based on value. You seem to think it’s just a case of picking a rate to charge billionaires on their share portfolio.

    Willing to vouch for Nick on this and suggest it’s a bit weird.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    You consistently and spectacularly miss the point every time this is raised. 1. Tax can raise revenue and also address societal issues. Smoking, for example, is heavily taxed because of the negative impact on the wider economy - a means of discouraging a certain behaviour via taxation. 2...
