But if the ref had given a red card it wouldn't have been over-ruled. Which highlights the inherent stupidity of the system.

The stupidity of VAR means it's either a red card or nothing. Should have been a red in my opinion, mind. If he wasn't denying a goal-scoring opportunity why did he risk handling it..? Terrible for the linesman not to have spotted it too.

Thanks again for the insight. Can you find out if the role of COMEUR has a FLUFEUR attached. Asking for a friend 🙄

I'd agree if it weren't for the fact that Teams, at least, has a habit of randomly switching mute on when you aren't expecting it. Alt-tab into another window - muted. Start typing in the chat window - muted. Blink too many times in any 10 second window - muted. Even the equipment issues are...

These are all on it but there may be more - twitter post said 42 but I can only see 41 here unless I miscounted (twice) Diane Abbott, Paula Barker, Lee Barron, Lorraine Beavers, Apsana Begum, Olivia Blake, Richard Burgon, Dawn Butler, Ian Byrne, Stella Creasy, Neil Duncan-Jones, Cat Eccles...

Glad to see they've all got their popal werk shirts on

Some cracking films already mentioned. In the quirky to the point you might wonder why anyone would recommend them: The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes The Ring Finger (might be listed as L'Annulaire) - amazing score by Beth Gibbons if nothing else.

Where are all our snooker clubs? Converted into flats, no doubt!

Grave of the Fireflies

15 years of Tory cuts mean there isn't money available to waste. If you make more cuts you're just accelerating the move towards privatised services - e.g. (ironically) waste. This is the end-game of Tory (and Reform) cuts. LAs will provide adult and children's care on a very tight budget and...

So who is responsible for getting the players to play as a team? Questioning why people weren't complaining about things when we were winning is quite a stretch. If it's working it doesn't need changing. The problem with Carrick, this season, is that it hasn't been working and he hasn't been...

Apology accepted. The only actual assumption I've made is that the club is actively working towards promotion. If they're not, and it ever came out, I'd guess there'd be a lot of angry people wanting a decades worth of money back. Carrick has gone through the same motions with the same squad...

It doesn't raise the question as to why. It shows that given the players at his disposal, he was unable to mould them into a winning unit. Even more striking are the stats that show how many games we've lost from winning positions. He is incapable of changing a game when it's obviously required...

That only makes sense as a defence of Carrick if the style of play we've adopted is the one we've seen more recently (terrible) as opposed to the one we've seen in flashes (brilliant). If the players aren't capable of doing the things they're being coached to do then the only sensible option is...

I think it's a peculiarly American view of Libertarianism that doesn't really exist in the UK to any large extent. The idea of it being 'one man against the world' doesn't really work when you have an NHS, for instance. One of the reasons Labour struggled in the locals is that the neoliberal...

This has been a real problem under Carrick and it's the lack of any real change that worries me. It should be easy to point out on a match video review and then work on in training. Although I do fear it's one of those things players need to understand instinctively.

Assuming you mean Azaz, he's not quick enough or strong enough to perform the role Carrick appears to want. I'd be very worried if we decided to build a team around him, as, in my opinion, one of the problems we have is that most of our attacks end up stalling when he gets on the ball. His...

The fact we're so slow across the park and are unable to pass more than three balls to a red shirt makes the whole footballing philosophy of Carrick redundant. Whether or not the players are capable is moot - they're the players he has to work with. If he is incapable of changing the system to...
