    Sky sports to stream every EFL game

    Season Ticket holders get all home games and away midweek matches "if Clubs choose to offer it". Will have to pay for weekend away matches. Not sure of the logic behind that, not like you can go to weekend games. Not clear but assume "if the clubs choose to offer it" refers to clubs who aren't...

    Match Thread Burton friendly

    Weren’t people saying Jones was injured and out for weeks a few days ago? On the bench tonight, can’t imagine Robins taking a risk with him. Biamou on the bench as well so not bomb squad or on his way it would seem.

    Harry Maguire arrested

    Not sure about Southgate publicly supporting him and including him in the squad while he was still on trial.

    Divorce

    I had one, was a complete waste of time if the other side decides to ignore it. Your option then is to spend thousands on legal fees to go to court and hope they enforce it. Ends up costing you more than just giving them what they're asking for. Probably only worth it if you've got a serious...

    Divorce

    Saw two lawyers, both said the same thing. Unless its a huge amount of money not worth fighting it, you can easily burn through thousands in legal fees and unlike a lot of things in court its largely down to what the judge feels like doing on the day as the law is so vague. Doesn't help that...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Personally I don't have any confidence that the government has properly examined the evidence and carefully considered the balance between education requirements, mental health and the risk of spreading the virus. Maybe someone who works in education will post and tell us of measures being put...

    Nationalism

    Completely agree. Mentioned on another thread that since being furloughed I've seen a noticeable health improvement. Problem is its become the standard and 9-5 jobs are becoming few and far between. Also as they're in demand they tend to be even lower paid. Not sure how you get round that...

    England is fast becoming a shit hole

    Agree with this. I live in Finham which is hardly the ghetto but its noticeably changed in the last 30 years. Back then virtually all houses were owner occupied and people took pride in maintaining their property. These days a decent percentage is rental and people don't take the same care. Not...

    England is fast becoming a shit hole

    Obviously socio-economic factors play a massive part in this. However I also find in this country there's a 'nothing you can do about it' or 'its the same everywhere' attitude. Other countries don't seem to have the same approach.

    George Floyd

    The state of some of the replies to this tweet from the National Trust. Seem to recall when a statue was pulled down in Bristol we were told it should have stayed up so we can learn from history. Here's the National Trust trying to teach people using history and getting abuse for it.

    Haven't got kids but if I did having seen how many issues there have been in a week of schools being open in Scotland and listened to how carefully Harries was choosing her words this morning talking about "the risk to the child themselves" there's no way I'd be sending them back. Not to mention...

    Nationalism

    This is pretty handy for finding where you are. I'll keep it full size and thumbnail it so its easier to find where you are on it.

    Nationalism

    Could not agree with this more. Always on culture is a nightmare. You can never relax. In my job there is no question you should be available 24/7/365 to respond to calls, emails and teams. All of which are installed on my personal mobile as that's a requirement of the job. You're required to...

    Nationalism

    Not sure why this is so difficult for the older generation to grasp. Had the same with my Dad who was convinced I was pissing my money away as he couldn't get his head round me having the job I have, and working the hours I do, and struggling. In the end I had to sit him down and literally go...
