    No I'm saying treat them like individuals and human beings rather than a cattle market forcing them into doing whatever is available. Had a young lad I worked with a number of years ago. His parents were always going on about him having a regular job and income and getting their friends to get...

    Church shooting in Texas

    Yep. Really hoping Ginsburg holds out until post-election and Trump doesn't win again. Him choosing another young Supreme Court justice would set the US back a generation. I expect we'll see the irony of both parties taking the exact opposite positions they did when Obama nominated and it was...

    Church shooting in Texas

    Or.... stricter gun controls and the people in the church might not have got shot and killed in the first place......

    January Transfer Window - Who do we want?

    I think he may try and move one at least one of Baka and Hiwula if he can get someone else in up front. I've said before I'd like to see Ponti given the chances off the bench or in cup games in their place but with a real chance of promotion I can understand bringing in someone with more...

    Match Thread Tranmere Rovers vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Wednesday 1st Jan

    Thanks for bringing that up - I'd expunged that memory and now you've brought it back. Burrows got sent off and lobbed his boots at someone I believe. We left at 4-1 and then found out listening to the radio reports on 5Live or whatever we'd let in a fifth.

    I did that the other day. My sister to a friend about holidays and she mentioned about somewhere we stayed on the East Coast 20 years ago for 3 days when we were kids and the friend said they thought it was a guest house run by their auntie and uncle. We went on google maps and looked for where...

    How do you force someone to do voluntary work - by definition it's no longer voluntary? What if they perform badly at this job they're being forced to do because it doesn't suit their skills? Surely this will just ingrain their hatred of work even more and make them even more workshy, or even...

    So your only defence for your position is that of a potential political cost (even though most of the major parties campaigned on drug reform and some form of legalisation) and 'that's how it is'. Isn't the big thing of the right 'individual choice'? If you legalise a drug it massively reduces...

    After the excellent Wycombe win (some of which I think is due to our bye on Boxing Day) you'd hope we'd go into this with a lot of confidence. I just hope we don't go in overconfident as that's been our downfall before. Tranmere seem to be a bit of a bogey team, we tend to drop points against...

    Naarich v Spurs

    1. VAR refs should be treated the same as linespeople - there as ASSISTANTS to the ref, not overrule them. Only thing they should be allowed to do is refer the incident to the ref who has to make the final decision looking at the monitor. 2. All conversations between ref and VAR should be...

    It's not to do with that - it's the scientific evidence that is constantly ignored in terms of addictiveness, mind-altering ability etc. All of those show that if we have things like pot criminalised then tobacco and alcohol have to as well due to their effects. We have a huge number of...

    Who said anything about 'waving through thousands of scroungers' or 'opening the floodgates'? I'm actually far more to the right in terms of immigration and poor border security than most of my political leanings. Although I'd love to know how you simultaneously have all immigrants down as both...

    What makes you think the people running the businesses/services want them working for them? Have to pay them but they'd do fuck all anyway. Good way to ruin team morale is to have a complaining, workshy twat on your workforce. Others end up having to do more to cover for these bone-idle people...

    Do you see as many on them as you do on benefits? Even the fraud ones concentrate on the low level stuff which is essentially people on benefits rather than those doing it for millions. In terms of money cost to the Treasury there should be 10x as many programmes on corp tax evasion/avoidance...

    Shipley - Player of the season

    Given that he naturally tires second half he can be 'man of the hour'.

    Love 'em or hate 'em.....

    Still tarnished by the admin and getting out of all that debt years ago. But their position shows what a single clinical striker can do for you. Both Vardy and Kane have elevated their teams a few places up the table from where they'd be otherwise.

    Could end up being a rarity in years to come due to the error and worth more?
