    Question mark over rugby

    It can be but on the whole as a game it flows much more freely. Union spends a lot of time bogged down in rucks,mauls and scrums. And scrums in the modern age are almost pointless - just an exercise in trying to drag the other team to the floor. So much time is wasted during a game setting a...

    Mendez-Laing Sacked

    Seems a pretty harsh thing to be sacked for. Actually, no it doesn't. If anything too lenient. The police should be investigating and throwing the book at him!

    US presidential Election 2020

    If we're honest given what 2020 has been like a Trump victory would just be the shitflakes on top of a massive turdcake.

    US presidential Election 2020

    Hillary was consistently ahead in the polls last time.

    US presidential Election 2020

    Honestly no idea right now. It's amazing I can write that given what Trump is like but that's where we are in the modern world. Even more division across the spectrum than here and people will vote for whichever one is wearing their preferred rosette. Again I don't think the democrats have...

    Just got Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham in my head now.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Then the fault is with the way the economy works and it should be looked upon how this can be improved upon over time with as minimal impact during that transition. It's like waking up with a massive hangover and deciding the best cure is back on the booze. Short term it might alleviate it but...

    Jodi

    Gutted for him. As well as repair the injury I hope they investigate why he's so susceptible. His game is based on sharp twists and turns which doesn't help but three ACL's just isn't normal.

    Match Thread Gillingham Away

    I was going off this U18/U21 Development Thread post 1982 Admittedly it doesn't specifically say we're playing.

    Match Thread Gillingham Away

    I was going with a slightly weakened line up to give minutes to fringe players but U23 play Sun so think it's more likely to be a strong team now. First team and U18 play 12th U23 play 13th This game 15th Unless we played some schoolboys in the U18's and U18's in the U23's, thus allowing the...

    The official NFL Thread

    Maybe they'll alter the format more so the NFL show becomes more like the Tues show? Always felt it should've been one show with highlights and previews together. Is Jason doing it as he's on Strictly? Also see Mon night game on C5.

    I might do a bit of fraud. I guess as long as I do it in a very specific and limited way they'd be fine with that. It's totally unacceptable and what's more I think shows the opinion of those in government that they think Britain is far more influential in the world than it really is, as if the...

    Different situation as only those poorest paid benefited from it. They were still cash strapped in the grand scheme of things and most people it had no effect on their earnings and thus had no extra money to spend. UBI is for everyone, so every sector of society suddenly gets an extra £10-12k...

    That's the big IF. We've had years of 'we're going to crackdown on landlords/letting. Nothing ever happens. Also refers to house prices as well. If you've got £x income every year then you have £x income + UBI it's almost inevitable that in a market where demand outstrips supply more and more...

    I've never been a fan of UBI but I can see how it could be helpful in this instance. Trouble is if it were to become standard any similar occurrence in the future wouldn't have the same effect because the market will have realigned itself to take more of the UBI payment, costs will have gone up...

    Fans back in !!! kinda

    And the reason they don't rush to ban it? £££ and fear of unpopularity and losing votes. Fuck all to do with the health implications. They know it's dangerous. They know it kills people. They just consider that of less importance than the money and power. Even then loads of money is spent on...

    But would it attract locals as well just wanting to see a match?

    Injury thread 2020-2021

    Playing someone who isn't 100% fit happens almost all the time. Dabo, Rose and Kelly all played last season not 100%. People have to have injections to get through games and know they need surgery but postpone until end of season. It could well be that the rumour of being a few weeks away was...

    England v Denmark

    I'm still a bit perplexed by the whole Kalvin Phillips thing. Never played a top flight game in any country, 24 so not like he's a hugely talented youngster, not played age groups which seems to be the way into the senior set up now regardless of progression. Who would genuinely had picked him...
