    Would another promotion propel Robins into the same legendary status as Jimmy Hill

    Not instantly but I think his stock would rise over time to be mentioned along with, but not alongside, Hill. If for no other reason than the complete change Hill made to the club and its operations all round, not just on the pitch (even though that was impressive) Hill was also very well...

    WIth the Marosi thing, if that'd been Burge would people be having the 'Walsh was at fault' argument or just pinning the entire thing on the keeper because it's Burge. You have to accept it is inevitable that playing that way it will at some point cost you the odd goal when it goes wrong, but if...

    abstaining fans

    I agree - if you're making nothing from it what's the incentive to try and sell tickets. Unless the opposition could sell the ground out to home fans they potentially benefit from F&B sales etc so arguably the away team should keep the ticket price and only pay an admin fee for the tickets they...

    10 Day Enforced Break

    Never really want to lose momentum on a winning streak, but long term it could be beneficial to give them the rest physically and mentally. Picked up quite a few injuries that will likely be out for a while, so don't want the remaining ones suffering annoying little tears and stuff. On the...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Of course governments tax or control certain things to influence demand and/or prevent harm to the people from them. That is the supposed job of government - to protect the people. Governments do also 'subsidise by stealth' (or more openly in other economies like China) with grants, reduced...

    California's government at work

    I kind of agree and feel the issue is more of a mental than physical one and the money should go into providing mental health care to discover and help treat those than going for the surgery option which feels like the 'lazy' option on the part of the healthcare providers. I feel the same about...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    To be fair he didn't say that the wages were slave wages, he said "any job is viable at slave wages", It was a theoretical argument taken to its conclusion that if the business cannot produce at a viable cost but you wish to protect the jobs you reduce the wages until such point as it becomes...

    I was going to give you a like but didn't want to annoy so.

    O’Hare

    If MR did bring O'Hare in from the start I wouldn't be complaining as he's clearly a talented lad. I just won't be complaining if he doesn't either. I think at some point he will inevitably be in the starting line-up but it's not imperative right now. Kastaneer can create havoc but possibly for...

    Richard Stevens to West Brom?

    I do wish him the best, but there is that slight concern of are there players in younger age groups showing promise who he could look to take before we can sign them up as scholars or pros? Being a Cat1 academy WBA may well already have players of an overall higher standard than we're developing...

    What if ?

    I get that, but the level of investment needed would be massively above what is needed now. Also SISU can't just throw cash at us - they have to have the funds available or move them from other portfolios with the permission of their investors and decide if they think the risk is worthwhile...

    England cricket 2019

    The batsmen were pretty easy to decide but there was a case for most of the bowlers, inc Broad. who did take the most wickets for Eng but also played the most tests. If someone had chosen him instead of Archer I wouldn't have much of an issue, but I don't think either of them should be picked...

    Jeremy corbyn

    No we don't know which way it would go, but hopefully that would put the more moderates on both sides in a more prominent position. One of the key things would be it being legally binding so the result would HAVE to be done and hence why the option would have to be no deal so there could be no...

    What if ?

    There is a massive difference between L1 and Championship. Some of the costs for salaries and transfer fees compared to the increased revenue from TV etc are eye watering. The club does not continue to fund itself even at this level and requires cash injections from the owners in the form of...

    England cricket 2019

    Good to at least not lose the series. Who would everyone's team of the tournament be? For me: Burns Denly Labuschagne Smith Root Stokes Bairstow (wk) Cummins Hazlewood Archer Lyon Openers were all dire in the main but Burns and Denly were starting to settle in by the end of the tournament...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Chances are pay rises would be lost to inflation anyway - you increase income for anyone and someone will try and up the price of whatever they're selling to take it from you.It's my biggest issue with ideas like basic income. You get the never-ending cycle of "we've had to put prices up...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. AFC Wimbledon Match Thread - Tuesday 17th Sep

    Probably see the same team again unless tiredness is having an effect. Having the weekend off does help in this respect as they'll have a lot of recovery time afterwards. If Mason is completely over his injury I'd like him to come back in but if there's any risk at all McCallum to continue...

    I think that you've highlighted the differences between Walsh and Kelly shows that they could play in the same team - Kelly sitting a bit deeper, Walsh a bit higher up, possibly taking Westbrooke's role. Whether that will be an option depends on how long Kelly is out for. With O'Hare and...
