  1. This is more akin to a defender pushing an attacking player into his own keeper. I've seen that both called and not called a foul.
  2. Yeah the Gakpo one as well for me. If there is no contact, how did he see a foul? If you don't see a foul how can you call it, knowing that VAR is there to correct a possible error? Tierney should be out of a job at this point. Not up to standard.
  3. Fullish house for us (18), cooked a thirty pound turkey so plenty of left-overs, beautiful sunny weather--it's been a fine few days.
  4. And that is how a referee attempts to fix a match. If there had been any chance to award them a penalty, no matter how marginal, he would have given it. I hope Jota gave him the finger as he left the pitch. Cunt (Tierney, not Jota)
  5. In this case it's Canada's dairy industry, and our other trading partners with whom we have existing agreements, who are both pushing to gain more share of the market by forcing the UK out. As had to be completely obvious at the time to those promoting Leave.
  6. 18.7 million pounds worth of cheese about to be hit with massive tariff as temporary UK-Canada agreement about to expire. Not a lot of money, I suppose, but it once again puts the lie to the guff about you being able to go out and easily sign new, better trade agreements post-Brexit.
  7. Just for the record, when was their last military coup?
  8. Buy Andre, send him to Fulham for a year in return for a cut rate on Palhinha.
  9. He used to look tentative, including defending; now he looks confident defending, eager to go forward and effective when he does.
  10. What brings about an end to innocent people being slaughtered is for Israel to stop dropping bombs on them ("bombed out of their homes" Is that all that's happening?). As to "meaningless" I was of course referring to it meaning any change in the position of the government, or Starmer for that matter. Just more meaningless verbiage.
  11. Napoleon The Great Andrew Roberts Another uncritical biography of a famous general/politician. Tells the story, but nothing special.
  12. I was paraphrasing "Lord" Cameron who defined "sustainable cease-fire" as having those conditions (amongst others, hence the "etc".) I want an immediate cease-fire. Which do you want?
  13. Flew for the first time in a couple months yesterday. Two short hops, I've done both dozens of times. That feeling of taking off never gets old.
  14. Why would you think I'm opposed to either? They've already had one cease-fire without either, why not another? What were the terms then? I just want the slaughter of innocent people to stop, immediately. Why don't you?
  15. But "sustainable ceasefire" just means what Israel wants: all hostages released, Hamas destroyed, etc. Meaningless.
  16. I suppose they have to play out from the back or they'd never have the ball, but it's just a matter of time before a Brighton turnover leads to a goal.
  17. Cardinal Becciu: Vatican court convicts former Pope adviser of financial crimes In 2014, the Vatican spent more than €200m ($220m; £170m) acquiring a 45% stake in the building, which was planned to be converted into luxury apartments. By 2018, the Vatican's Secretariat of State had decided to buy the property outright, sinking a further €150m euros into the purchase. Allegedly signing off on the whole deal was Cardinal Becciu, who was at the time the Vatican's Substitute for General Affairs - in effect chief of staff to the Pope. The money, part of which was intended to be used for charitable works, had been paid into a trust run by a London-based Italian financier Raffaele Mincione, who orchestrated the purchase. When the Secretariat later sought financial help from the Vatican's own bank, it sparked concern - and a raid by Vatican police that led to the charges against Becciu, Mincione, and eight others. But the investigation into Becciu's affairs wasn't limited to the London property deal. The cardinal was also accused of funnelling vast sums of money to his home diocese of Sardinia, some of which reportedly benefited his family. And it was alleged he paid almost €600,000 to another of the accused, Cecilia Marogna, to help free a nun kidnapped in Mali. Prosecutors said she instead spent much of the money on luxury goods and holidays. Marogna, who had offered her services to the Vatican as an intelligence expert, visited Becciu's residence on several occasions. Both denied claims of a sexual relationship. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-67738595
  18. But the Spartans got "300" and Al got this guy:
  19. Reading something similar with the three former hostages: two killed by a sniper, he also shot the third, who fled and was finished off by a squad of soldiers. What are the terms of engagement: "kill anything that moves"? More families mourning.
  20. Hodgson'll be all smiles this week, talking about what a great sport the footy is, how you can never take anything for granted, players giving 110%, etc. with a big grin on his beak.
