  1. Yes but there is a caveat. If you are in a relationship with the said 16-18 year old then you can take pics as long as you don't distribute.
  2. The BBC said they received new information in a statement last week, I think Friday so that ties in. The mother originally contacted them May 19th.
  3. Another take is - the BBC said new information came to light in the last few days, quite likely the mother might not have even have known it was illegal and a possible police matter. Wise not to call the bizzies in if your child has a sizable habit and it would more than likely damage the relationship with her child. It looks like this was reported at the time ITV and Schofield were all over the news.
  4. Hmmm. Newcastle United strengthen links with mega-rich Saudi Pro League as Toon director joins Al Hilal Newcastle United director will also oversee business at Al Hilal Newcastle United director Abdulmajid Alhagbani has also been named on the board of Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal. The director is listed as one of seven new directors at Al Hilal soon after the club was taken over by the Public Investment Fund - who also own the Magpies. PIF now have a 75% stake in Saudi Pro League clubs Al Hilal, Al Ahli, Al Ittihad and Al Nassr https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-strengthen-links-mega-27267539.amp
  5. Sounds more like the BBC is the star here and seems a cheap way to point score.
  6. 35k seems a lot for photos in an era of OnlyFans but I'm cheap.
  7. I don't know much about Lebron but long before him my dads favourite footballer as a kid was getting as much as he could. While playing for Liverpool, his reported annual salary was £12,000. At Hamburger Sport-Verein, whom he joined in 1977, he would earn £250,000 a year after endorsement deals. Even in those pre-Bosman days, Keegan knew his value. He had insisted on a £500,000 release clause in his Liverpool contract, encouraging suitors to offer a larger wage packet given the relatively reduced transfer fee. Well before the 1976-77 season began, his intention to leave Anfield was clear. Liverpool’s chairman at the time, Sir John Smith, did not stand in his way.
  8. I wouldn't step foot over there to watch us play or watch their shitty pretend football. Reluctantly I have to say Howie is right. They will be invited probably to merge with Uefa/affiliation in some capacity fairly soon. The reason being they have no caps or limits outside and if they come under the umbrella they will have to follow rules. Oh and the Uefa suits will defo want a taste of the action. The Saudis may not want to be limited by wage restrictions etc - they might not feel it is in their interests to be dictated to.
  9. You know who will be fuming - Luke the Nuke Akehurst. Proably wants to implement facial recognition for all Labour members who attend events and a biometric style membership card.
  10. How much can the Al Ittihad fans moan though. That MBS jails people for posting mild criticism on social media. Can they call him a power hungry cunt - would a Saudi Daisy posting on the Al Ittihad way be allowed.
  11. Once they got good money for Mount, Havertz and dumped players in the Saudi League the odds look slim. If he's as good as people say, Colwill could replace Bellingham on the next summer list as we save for a CB.
  12. Van Dijk isn't finished but there are two problems, one he can solve and the other he can't. He's always been a player who football has come easy for - now he has to overcome the mental challenge of not being as good as he was. Stick him in Newcastle or Manchester United last season and he can get the pipe and slippers out. We know Klopp asks a lot of his CB. A man who was as good as he was and his ego will relish shoving the words down people's throats for doubting him - let's hope he can do it.
  13. That was my first thought - it would penalise teams who play a high line but Wenger who is pushing for this - is no friend of pragmatic football. Managed to find the first phase of the trials from under 18s and the small sample find a 0.35 increase in goals. I'm guessing the next stage is to trial at a higher level with a bigger set of matches. 632 goals / 177 matches = 3.57 goal per match Round 24 to Round 30 (plus the postponed match) that trialed the "daylight" offside rule: 247 goals / 63 matches = 3.92 goal per match
  14. Would be a very significant change if it happened. I read trials are happening shortly but can't find a timeline. A More Offensive Approach Infantino proposed to the FIFA development director to find an improvement that would benefit offensive soccer. And Wenger thinks he's found it. The Frenchman thinks that the spectacle will grow and proposes that the offside rule change. His idea is based on allowing the striker to be ahead of the defender, as long as he keeps a part of his body in contact with which he can score a goal in line with the last defender. Wenger has drawn inspiration from a study carried out in the Premier League that says offside calls would be cut in half. "At some point measures will be taken and it may even be determined that with five or six centimeters it is not offside. Everything is under study," authorized IFAB sources told MARCA. Of the four offsides on average in each game, only two would be offside with the change in the rule, something that could make it possible for the game to be more offensive https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.marca.com/en/football/2023/07/04/64a380dc268e3eeb7c8b4605.html
  15. The club that signed Firmino and are reportedly interested in Thiago have a history of not paying players their wages. I know they have been taken over by PIF - not sure I'd fancy getting into beef with the Crown Prince if shit goes wrong. Promises sound good but there are lots of foreigners sold the dream globally in all occupations before fleeing lamenting being sold a pup. https://archive.fo/pYwbb FIFA’s website details a swathe of decisions from its Dispute Resolution Chamber and contract breaches are common. Over 50 labour disputes involving Saudi clubs have been heard inside the last 12 months and, as recently as March 8, there was the case of Grabban and Al Ahli, one of the four clubs taken over by Public Investment Fund (PIF), the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, this week There was nothing exceptional about Grabban’s case. Players have seen wages go unpaid by Saudi clubs when injured and, in the worst cases, had contracts torn up and visas withheld.
  16. My sister is debating what to spoil her ballot with - will pass this on. Pointers for those just in case you make a mistake. https://votingcounts.org.uk/spoilt-ballot
  17. I guess it depends what her aims are, she got a few important outlets to cover the topic. If I was Jess Phillips I would be horrified to see headlines from the BBC, Sky and a colleague asked if I was a racist and a bully. I mean people said Rachel Riley was making a fool of herself but has been awarded an MBE for combatting antisemitism. Is this just an angry woman riding solo or will others follow. A certain Suella Braverman was a governor at her school.
  18. Both will start the majority of games next season. I voted Nunez he will score a shitload of goals - with the right coaching support and Klopps track record - his ceiling is off the charts. Gakpo is a good team player who managers love and his ability to settle quickly was impressive. I like Gakpo a lot. Being a striker is the most difficult role in football these days. The richest clubs like Madrid, Manchester United and Chelsea can't find them. The haters and losers need to show a bit of patience with Nunez.
  19. We don't have the same players we did last season. Do you not think some of the new signings will have been purchased with Nunez as part of the jigsaw. I was more referring to Nunez approach with the ball than off the ball and the areas he drifts into and his involvement in buildup play. I'm not expecting him to be used like Haaland but I wouldn't be suprised in the slightest if we are asking Nunez to be more disciplined and patient.
  20. When you have a political system and media environment that rewards lying, misrepresentation and duplicity - people being uninformed is a symptom. If teachers, social workers or police officers consistently behaved like MPs they would face disciplinary action.
  21. Looks quite nice in pink and tidy for nearly 50 does miss.
  22. The strictest head teacher is calling for Jess Phillips to be disciplined for racism and bullying and accuses her of breaking the nolan principles of leadership and has submitted a formal complaint. Karen has the manager called on her in a twist I didn’t see coming. Mrs Birbalsingh also references black Labour MPs losing faith with the current leaderships ability to tackle racism within the Labour Party. Mrs Birbalsingh is batshit but I could defo see her not letting this drop and certain parts of the media deciding to notice certain things they have overlooked.
