Football wise there's a few. 1. Offside is offside. None of this active/inactive bollocks. If a player is on the pitch he's affecting play. A defender lying injured on the goalline will play everyone onside as they're deemed active, so why the hell isn't a forward standing beyond the last...

I think snooker the colours of the balls should be reversed (ie yellow on the black spot, green on pink etc). So you can choose to keep the ball in tight control but score less points or take the risk of going back up the table for more points but maybe running out of position. Plus if you've...

Yes, because I think they do play in the same position. They just take slightly different approaches to it. Both will try and travel with the ball, but Bright does it in in a more explosive (and arguably effective) fashion. Bayliss will also try and play through balls more than Bright does...

Yes please, even though I think it'd be bad for the development of Bayliss.

Maybe they're not caring for it to the same standards we need, but the fact was during those London games at the start of the game the pitch looked in good condition, by the end of it it did not. It wasn't a matter at the end of going around replacing the divots and feeding and watering for a...

2007 Giants game. Was an absolute quagmire by the end. Subsequent years the pitch has cut up quite badly but due to largely being dry it could be pieced back together after quite easily. Rain while they're playing truly wrecks it though and you can feed it, put the lamps on it and all sorts but...

That's all very well but we're playing football, not doing X Factor! ;) Though will probably have better vocals than the Spice Girls

So please explain why exactly the same thing happened ten years before when I went to the NFL game in the rain? No fixture change not allowing preparation, no boxing or other events beforehand......

I was at the NFL game. I watched it becoming more brown and muddy as the game went on. You could see the lines where the players were lining up for the snap, esp around the the goallines. How would the boxing have caused that?

You seem to be approaching the issue thinking of what you prefer as a fan, not thinking of it as if you were a player. By your own admission the performance was good, so the stadium and lack of atmosphere as you percieve it wasn't having much of an effect on the players by the sounds of it.

It's not like St Andrews is tiny and a couple of cowsheds is it. It'd still be way better than most of the stadiums players could expect to play in at a L1 level.

Yes, it will and it will be affected no doubt. But having just football played on it is really very different to rugby. Much heavier players playing in much closer proximity in more concentrated areas of the pitch is much more likely to wreck it. Plus as the ball is largely kept in the air the...

I really don't think you can lump all the tories or labour in as Brexit parties just because their 2017 manifestos supported Brexit. Their previous ones from just a couple of years before that had both party policies as hardcore remain. Main reason they were pro-Brexit was due to political...

Apart from Bright or Thomas, who were here last season and know the Ricoh, a different ground won't be any more alien to a new signing than the Ricoh. If the groundshare is at St Andrews the playing surface may well be better than the Ricoh without rugby on it, which would appeal to the...

I believe the point they're making is that the poster believes that Leave would win in another referendum, and probably by a larger margin. If that is the case what is there to fear from another vote? If you're that confident all a second referendum will do is confirm the leave position and give...

To be fair I don't think you can call one of the primary industries of the country irrelevant. It's got far more clout and influence than I'd like but the fact is it is a major part of the economic make-up of Britain's biggest economic region.

Even leaving won't stop the civil war. Remainers will look for every opportunity to show how Britain has become worse for leaving, Leavers will look for every opportunity to show it's better. It'll still be civil war, just it won't be stopping leaving it'll be we should go back in. People won't...

It's certainly far from a foregone conclusion but it'd have every chance of doing so. Last referendum was very close and the consensus is that leave voters came out in force while many who preferred remain didn't due to apathy and overconfidence as they felt it highly likely that remain would...

I agree entirely, but at least it would give a definitive set of rules we would be trading by and could focus some of those who are under the impression leave means "cherry pick the bits we want and get rid of the rest", especially those in the business world wanting Brexit of exactly what it is...

I was going to put that in too, but the furore of MP's voting for remain against the previous referendum results would just see the likes of Farage et al getting more traction. To get remain it would have to come from the people, hence the second referendum with remain and no deal as the...
