    Yes, he does, I'll give you that :D

    I’ve said this before, but I’ll repeat it now - the biggest single issue with VAR is that the VARs are drawn from the same pool as the referees, and I'm absolutely convinced there is a (possibly subconscious) tendency not to try and overrule the on field ref because they know next week it’ll be...

    They were the better team, but as I said the circumstances of the last fortnight worked in their favour. And if Harker’s header goes in off the bar, it’s a different game He was a sub. Always seems to score against us too, like that Danny Rowe from Fylde and Chesterfield did

    Solihull Moors 4-2 FC Halifax Town A game too far for Town, as the exertions and craziness of the last fortnight caught up with us. And even then, it was a case of what might have been and fine margins. Two of Solihull's goals were deflected shots which probably would have been saved, a third...

    Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party.

    But is it not the case that the UK had a returns agreement with France prior to Brexit, and now doesn't?

    lostwin - BR in the mid 80's

    The Forth Bridge is wider at the base of the cantilever towers and narrower in between them, hence the nearest obscuring the others behind it. The bridge itself is straight

    Fraud

    That isn’t how it works. You made one journey and three claims?!? You possibly need legal advice at this stage

    Fraud

    But you’ve made 400 claims in 16 months? Allowing for weekends, holidays etc that’s one every day. What exactly have you been claiming for?

    Football

    And rightly so, as Alty are now the highest placed team in the quarter finals, even if it means we have to go to Solihull and almost certainly I won't now get a ticket. Apparently when Chesterfield went there last season they got 250 and we have more than 250 season ticket holders It beggars...

    Avanti denying delay compensation for return journey

    Is the clue not in the name? Delay Repay How can you be repaid more than you paid in the first place?

    Football

    Yes, but that wasn’t his point His point was that neither of the teams in today’s semi final played last midweek, so scheduling the games the other way round wouldn’t have disadvantaged them but would’ve given City an extra 24 hours (or 33%) recovery time

    Eastleigh 0-3 FC Halifax Town After playing three consecutive home games on two away grounds in two different counties, Halifax trekked to Eastleigh for their fourth game in eight days knowing a win would guarantee the last playoff spot. In a remarkably un-Halifax way, they won comfortably...

    Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party.

    Yes, and its nothing new. I remember a piece on the Radio 4 Today programme back in the 1990s when Michael Howard was Home Secretary. The producers had spent some time with a young single mother in Bradford, and she'd written her shopping list, walked round the city pricing stuff up at every...
