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

    Don’t disagree Tony (as I said the EEA solution or something similar is the likely outcome post withdrawal agreement - probably without FOM) but my question is still the same ? ie why won’t those inbetween vote for the withdrawal agreement ? Ps when I say inbetween I mean those willing to...

    Fair assessment We outplayed them (as we expected) for a majority of the game and could/should have won comfortably ! Agree with people saying Chaplin drops too deep. He’s got to get in the box more as that is is strength. Also, Bayliss when on the ball, showed some real glimpses of quality...

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

    I also hear one of the blokes who abused Soubry has got arrested. I hope the guy who door stepped Rees-Mogg and abused him in front of his kids, with police nowhere near, got the same Ps I’m not great fan of either of those politicians by the way

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

    FOM, still paying into pot and other EEA members agreement are main sticking points. I’m assuming Irish border issue is resolved by EEA ? The reason I asked the question yesterday was that this is possible (in actual fact pretty likely) following the withdrawal agreement. Yet people still think...

    Film Thread 2019

    If anyone likes sci fi, stumbled across a decent one that I’d never heard of until tonight. Upgrade (on sky store and google play). Liked it even though sci fi isn’t usually my thing.

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

    So in that case you would expect the pro brexit to vote for the deal. I suppose where I was trying to get to with the questions is whether both sides really think the gamble of voting down Mays deal is worth it ie the risks for Brexiteers ending up with a softer brexit or no brexit at all and...

    Pitch

    To be fair, I thought we played pretty well considering the state of the pitch. It can’t be easy for the players, especially when we do try to play it on the deck

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

    That’s fair enough as an answer mate....I guess that’s what a lot of Remain MPs think as well.

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

    Interesting (appears neutral/fair) article Post-truth politics is alive and well in Brexit Britain - CNN Two questions about the May deal for both sides. Brexiteers - If the vote doesn’t go through it appears that a softer brexit (permanent customs union - same as backstop worst case but no...

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

    This isn’t about ‘bailing the government out’ or ‘having nothing to lose’ for calling a general election. This should be about finding a solution on brexit that is best for the country.

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

    Yes, a magical one where we can control freedom of movement and agree trade deals with other countries ! I can assure everyone that however bad May has done, there is no chance Corbyn will negotiate anything better with the EU and/or get it through Parliament. They have the same issues/splits...

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

    Pretty accurate assessment Mucca. You’ve also hit the nail on the head in relation to the major issue....76% of MPs voting Remain, the rest probably want hard Brexit and therefore any compromise just can’t get through. I heard the EU might give further concession(s) if Mays deal lost by a small...

    What Books You Reading ?

    Reading ‘Coventry City : A Club Without A Home’ To be fair although I knew and recall a lot of the stuff including, still an interesting read for any City fan

    Don’t think there’s been a thread on this (apologies if I missed it !) but two episodes in and looking good !!!!

    He’s scored two and set up one in the last four games ? Also, without going over old ground he’s 21, playing regularly after his first move (away from his home town club), getting used to the team, has a good attitude and has now been involved in 9 goals (scored 6 and 3 assists) from 20 games...

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

    The fudge is (at least supposedly) just short term. As I said earlier though, even in the much maligned backstop* we apparently don’t pay anything over to the EU (saving billions per annum), retrieve control over our borders (for what good that will do !) and would exit the common fisheries...

    Match Thread Scunthorpe United vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 5th Jan

    Let’s not get carried away. They beat Peterborough away Tues so not that bad. Kelly was a big miss today by the sounds of things but if someone had offered me nine points out of the next four games following the Shrewsbury game I’d have snapped their hand off !

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

    I agree we had levers (most temporary) that we could have used better. Freedom of movement would still remain though. My point earlier was that there are several things within the withdrawal agreement that would most probably address concerns of a large number of Leavers, even if we ended up in...

    Bigi

    He was a decent player (better than a lot gave him credit for) but haven’t got a clue whether he’d fit in or if he add much to the squad now. Robins call (he can have that one !)

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

    Agree with that, the way it’s dragged on is ridiculous and a lot of it unnecessary ! The only reason I mentioned my post is that I mentioned that too many pick sound bites from both sides without looking at the detail. The politicians on all sides have been an embarrassment!
