    A Political Thread pt. 2

    I think NC has a rule that says you can't count mail in and absentee votes until they're all in. They can still be accepted if posted before 3rd, so none are being counted.

    A Political Thread

    I think the brexit law was designed to detract from covid and set a trap for Starmer. He can't avoid law breaking like he has every other brexit issue this year and Cummings wants to refocus on Brexit, where Starmer is vulnerable in many seats. Shows how poor they are to do this nonsense 9...

    A Political Thread

    Shameful if they actually do it, puerile if it's just sabre-rattling blather. Either way, pretty self-defeating if you're serious about good trade deals. Whatever happened to "speak softly and carry a big stick". We seem to be in a time of shout loudly and act like a clown with a balloon on a stick.

    [2019 Six Nations] Ireland vs England (02/02/2019)

    Sorry if this has been said already. Just got back to hotel room before going out again. Biggest suprise for me was Sinckler v Furlong. Ihad tbet down as penalty points for Ire. all afternoon. Even had a tenner on yellow for young Kyle. Well impressed with our props today. Honestly thought...

    [2018 November Tests] England vs New Zealand 10/11/18

    Best England performance for 2 years. Possibly the first 30 mins was the worst kicking by AB's ever. Players , as always, made far more, and worse, mistakes than ref. That said .. why do some refs give half a nano-second to roll away and others seem to allow the player to lie around like an...

    [June Tests 2018: 2nd Test] South Africa vs. England (16/06/2018)

    Farrell at 10?! Who chose to keep going for the corner when there was loads of time and not take 3 points? Who stropped like a 5 year old at the ref? Who managed to **** up a simple pass to Daly and give SA an attacking scrum? Who was so busy pushing an SA player to prove he was hard that he...

    [June Tests 2018: 2nd Test] South Africa vs. England (16/06/2018)

    I'd forgotten that - I was even at the game- in my defence it was 4 years ago and I'm getting old.

    [June Tests 2018: 2nd Test] South Africa vs. England (16/06/2018)

    Ford us a bit of a liability defensively but who to replace him with. Cipriani is so talented but can be a bit of a flake. Farrell on paper could be the man ... but I can't remember a really good performance from England with Farrell at 10. There have been a number with Ford. So that leaves...

    [Natwest 6 Nations] Round 3 : Scotland Vs England 24/02/2018 16:45

    Spot on. We were poor at breakdown as we have been for a long time. That's why we lost. However, the veneration of Owens needs to stop. He ain' the man he used to be and we all know it. Also we all should recognise Russell had his mojo game. When he plays like that he's the dog's danglies.

    [Natwest 6 Nations] Round 3 : Scotland Vs England 24/02/2018 16:45

    Owens isn't the ref he used to be ... he made mistakes... who'd have thought a ref was human. I hate this football mentality of moaning about the ref. We lost because we were , As always, **** at the breakdown. And we were complacent. Robshaw at 6. A real 7. The attitude we showed in the last 20...

    [Natwest 6 Nations] Round 3 : Scotland Vs England 24/02/2018 16:45

    Scitland and Finn Russell were superb but this has been coming for a long time. We've been sent home ... hopefully we'll think again. We need to change our back row. Maybe it's the beer talking but I think we should get a Curry

    [November Tests 2017 EOYT] England vs. Samoa (25/11/2017)

    Yet again the England performance was disappointing mainly because of the breakdown. We have so many top class locks and no world class flankers. Put Hill and Back or even Moody in this team and it would be a cricket score.

    Test Match 3: All Blacks v British & Irish Lions (Auckland)

    I have the same feeling but in my case it definitely is my prostate. any one who has that picture is worthy of huge respect. He isn't quite God but possibly related to him.

    Test Match 3: All Blacks v British & Irish Lions (Auckland)

    Mako starting is incomprehensible to me. My gast is totally flabbered. AWJ was OK last week so whilst not my first choice it is understandable. Still can't see Lions winning unfortunately.

    Test Match 2: All Blacks v British & Irish Lions (Wellington)

    This probably isn't an original point but the modern game is all about protecting head and neck. Whether the player passes HIA is irrelevant due to risk of long-term effects. SBW - clear red. Vunipola from what I saw made contact below neck. Reckless and stupid but because of that only yellow...

    (Very) early thoughts on the 2017 Lions

    Just read the BBC Article again - No inside info at all just bank holiday bulls**t - e.g. the "JJ out & Teo & Davies in" story is simply because it's Gatland: [/I]"Joseph has been tipped by many pundits to start the Test series at outside centre, but Gatland's preference for size in the midfield...

    (Very) early thoughts on the 2017 Lions

    You forget Webb and Biggar controlling play as well - Barrett and his boys will be terrified - especially with halfpenny at FB.
