That's another thing I'd do. I'd have someone for every corner positioned near the ref who's job is to look for instances such as holding and literally point them out to the ref. Eventually the ref can't ignore it any longer.

Just because nurses' scrutiny is less public does not mean it is any less rigourous or stressful. They need to meet targets and show competency to their employers and arguably have to do more because they need to show their competency continually. If they fuck up once they could lose their...

Is nursing done by the rich? They get by.

At this stage I agree it will be more of a struggle next season, but I thought this one might be as well and it's gone far better than I was expecting overall. We have no idea who we may be able to get in on loan, who we can bring in to replace those who will be released, whether we might be...

Agree entirely. Someone (within earshot of the ref) needs to very loudly count out how long they're taking. The ref can't ignore it forever.

You do notice that they (understandly) aren't as rigourous with things like throw-ins or even the goalline for corners/goalkicks. Seen plenty where the ball is not that far over the line and it been ruled out of play. On some throw-ins the ball has even been touching the line still and been...

You may not have noticed but the bloodshed's already happening and people are losing sons, husbands, wives, children. But as your second paragraph states, they're not British so why should we give a fuck. Though I think part of that's disingenous and by 'British' involvement you're actually...

While I see your point about paying more, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll get the best, nor does it mean you'll remove corruption. It will just become a more appetising role for the greedy. It already attracts the power hungry for the amount of control it would give them, so add in a decent...

I've got this theory that he's actually in the employ of CWR (or BBC) and not many people call up so it's his job to give his opinion, saying he's not seen the game to piss actual fans off enough to phone in and disagree. Even him being a Brummie might be to rile fans.

It's a question that's been asked before in history but still the wars happen. I can only guess there is something in the mind of people like Putin and Hitler that makes them believe that they cannot lose. So even if they started such a war they would end up the victors. And every time they...

Basically, he's doing it because he's either ill and doesn't care about the consequences or he's removed himself from other people to such an extent that there's been been no counter argument to his thought process.

It's what happens when you base your culture around greed and self-interest.

That's the point where it's difficult to imagine the thoughts of a madman, but like I said before it may well be he knows he's very ill and often people with his kind of mindset think the world is worthless without them in it, so if it ends in hellfire it doesn't matter. Other option is that...

Don't know if it's just that they've been reported more the last few days, but there seems to have been a few Western press killed in the last few days, esp. ones working for US networks. Probably isn't, but wondered if it might be a new Russian tactic to goad the West into getting involved.

To be fair though the 'Perfumo' scandal stunk.

Well it is. The situation has changed not to their advantage and competitors will be looking to step in and make the most of their situation. Were they complaining when Abramovich turns up with his billions, not caring where it had come from to make them a superpower in European football? Did...

Not at all. Fact is they can take a coach paid for by their employers. If they find that unacceptable they can choose to pay for alternative means. I've had situations in the past where I could have bus fare covered, but if I didn't want to take the bus and got a cab I'd have to pay for it out...

This kind of shit happens everyday. Businesses go under and often the people least at fault are the ones most affected. Of course, I don't want to see those in the lower paid roles out of work, but I imagine a lot of the coaching/fitness etc. teams would be in demand elsewhere if they're...

The players could always cover the plane tickets out of their own pocket if it matters that much to them.
