    Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

    i think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one as i think the free market will better reflect what people actually want. essentially, i dont actually think populations/consumers actaully want to be as green as they say. theres always a greener (and more expensive) solution to...

    Cheating in sport

    yeah i agree with your last sentence. if you really think about it, even beyond the cheating, what is there to really enjoy with winning trophies? we all know that the teams that win are the ones that have spent the most... of the owner's money, and not yours personally, so the pride of winning...

    Cheating in sport

    there should definitely be a yellow card for such level of stupidity in that case ;)

    Coronavirus

    yes a fan of all these things. reduced pollution can be administered locally, and even at the individual level. we're all consumers - its up to us to reduce our own carbon footprint and not use services/products made by companies who do not share this view (providing this is what we want). lets...

    Cheating in sport

    herein lies the debate. you know you're incompetent (not refering specifically to you, but players in general), but yet you put in a tackle that you know runs a chance of being a foul. in football, this would not count as cheating (general consensus), but in other sports and other walks of life...

    Cheating in sport

    theres definitely merit in this argument, however if you play to this (however moral the stance is), you simply will not be competitive in most sports, both at an amateur and professional level. - had cyclists not doped during the armstrong era, they may have been praiseworthy, but they...

    Coronavirus

    so true, the more you discover about the EU, and the WHO, the more questionable these organisations become. The added value created from both of these organisations appears to be minimal at best imo, and all they are actually doing is shifting resources from one side to another (and then taking...

    American politics

    Trump obviously doesnt help himself with some of his quotes, brashness, and lack of self-awareness, however, in terms of actual policy decisions, i would question anyone who thinks Trump has badly misstepped re the coronavirus. i really doubt any other president would have taken drastically...

    American politics

    others might not think hes done a good job, but imo theres plenty where trump has done well, and unfortunately too many people simply arent able to get past their personal dislike of him (understandable) to see this. the trade war with China will probably be seen as (one of) the most...

    Cheating in sport

    i think its just the case that each sport has its own moral code, and accepts certain types of "cheating" and not others. and this differs from sport to sport. responding to your question as to whether we stupidly accept diving, i don't think that's phrased "fairly". theres plently more forms...

    Coronavirus

    its v.sad to think what will happen in some areas of the world. part of me thinks it may just be better to go on with daily life in those places, and if lives are lost, so be it. i'm not convinced at all that quarantining will actually save more lives long term - daily wage earners have nothing...

    Football and money

    This. PL clubs should not be bailing out clubs lower down the ladder. Lower league clubs should not have been spending the amount of money they have been - the excessive spending is a big part of why they find themselves in their current situation. They had nothing saved up for emergencies.

    Will clubs Furlough their employees

    @scaramanga , agree totally with your comments, but i suspect that almost all players (especially in the top leagues) will accommodate some sort of salary cut if the situation lasts for an extended period of time. Imagine how much public vilification there will be for the players who use this as...

    Coronavirus

    theres something interesting going on in the political landscape. theres undoubtably been a rise in more leftist politics - seen by the rise in popularity of sanders/corbyn. However, to win elections it appears that the right wing candidates (ie Trump) have largely played up to very conservative...

    i dont think this is a great move by uefa long term. city will either win the appeal, or surely it'll just expedite the creation of the super league

    VAR: Sponsored by Chelsea

    to add to this point, GK's staying on the line is supposed to be such a vital part of penalties, that a dedicated linesman is assigned to specifically keep an eye out for this. but the prem dont wanna use var here? you just couldn't make it up.

    VAR: Sponsored by Chelsea

    i think i agree. but, i also think that this isn't what the vast majority of football fans want. var just highlights the "stupiditiy" of how football officiating works (and often the referees), and its really no good for anyone. a better solution would simply have been for referees to enforce...

    VAR: Sponsored by Chelsea

    this was always going to be the problem with var. football is (and has always been) played on precedent rather than rules. the rules are merely a guideline, and are always broken. theres basically millions of "small" infringements in every game of football. var shines a light on all of this and...
