Not sure why clear and obvious doesn't apply though. Either they were clearly and obviously off-side or not and that is all it needs to be (bringing back the advantage to the attacking player once again) however the people behind how it's implemented have taken clear and obvious to apply purely...

Why wouldn't you want the opportunity to see your club playing against the top clubs in the country, and against some of the very best teams in Europe? I'd rather see what we can do against those top sides over watching a few more wins in a season in a lower division and what is better? 4th in...

Agreed, it was always sung as and we're going up to win the cup ......

Think i read something saying he felt if the black had been re-spotted correctly, then the red wouldn't pot. He turned it down as an act of sportsmanship by refusing a ball that was on which he felt shouldn't have been available (even if by potting it meant he'd have gone on to win the frame)...

Yes please

I wonder if Wolves and Sunderland fans thought that as they were relegated from the PL? only to see them relegated a second time

FYI - That used to happen long before Theresa may came to power For example, in the 90's, C&A in Brighton lost more in stock at wholesale price than they made in profit for the year on the goods sold, so they went bust. People would go in and take armfuls of clothing and walk out of there...

Always used to be that for offenses like these, they used to only issue a Police caution or it was often deemed not to be in the public interest to bother to even bring a case like this to court (in years gone by, including under previous Governments) and the offender got off scot-free.

"Mizzy, real name Bacari-Bronze O'Garro, was riding a green Lime e-bike on 15 June 2022, when he snatched the device from a woman's hand in central London." So this happened nearly 2 years ago, before being jailed for his "pranks" - Does he actually still do any? or is it the usual read a...

Or the equally sick follow up " You stupid B~@#*&d, you'd have fit on that door"

Lack of flexibility is bad, then maybe this is the answer - issue them all with a foam batons. It's bound to be the cheapest option too, as they are only a few quid each on Ebay so 2 birds with 1 stone

Newsflash - Public sector uses procurement whether it be the Police, MOD or Councils. Each one will use it's own procurement arrangements and they will have put out appeals for companies to tender for those contracts and this will mean that there will be therefore a variation in the price that...

So several posts refer to procurement however the discussion can't be widened on this and has to stay focused solely on night sticks as it is something that can be used to bash ... the Tories ?

??? - I suggest you read the whole reply. No mention of the police at all, or their equipment but it was a general reply about the issues with the procurement process, and also to the point about the suggestion to have 'cheapest' price rules in place during procurement "All you’d have to do...

A big drawback to that is that cheapest isn't always best. For example why buy some piece of equipment for £300 that will break within 2 years when they can buy one for £350 that will last a decade or longer? The biggest issue is that there is a lack of flexibility when it comes to public...

The law of diminishing returns in full effect

However the non league team players may find a game staged away to a league club may be their only ever opportunity to play in a league ground in their career, that rule would deny them that opportunity Secondly, what if the non league team has a very small ground, which will limit income...

It would only make any sense if they were to bring forward the date for the 3rd round when PL clubs enter the competition, (meaning potentially fewer games in the 2nd half of the season) however if that remains the same, i can't see the argument to support their being scrapped

The FA in the 1990's - Not caring about, or acting to help protect the future of lower league clubs The FA now - Not caring about, or acting to help protect the future of lower league clubs
