    The end?

    Does anyone read this and get the impression that Putin watched Mad Max 2 when he was high at Uni and thought it was a documentary? All jokes aside, this seems insane even by the Russian standards of care we've seen so far. It's almost too bizarre to believe - especially the bit about soldiers...

    Amad Diallo

    I've a vague recollection that it was originally to do with players not being ready for the restart. Seems a bit dumb to book regardless though. If they have their shirt back on by the time the ref thinks the restart should happen then why bother booking. It might have got mixed in with...

    Engel

    The thing for me is that it's the execution that's lacking, not the decision making. He wasn't making those types of passes in dangerous areas. He has vision and awareness - the volley down the touchline and the attempted lift over a defender in the last minutes would have both been excellent...

    There's a joke in there about doing an Indian but I'm not that funny :unsure:

    This Lindsay Hoyle business

    So essentially, what you're saying is that Corbyn was a centrist. Glad we've finally cleared that up.

    This Lindsay Hoyle business

    Genuinely have no idea what you're wittering on about. Why would left-wingers have any love for the Conservatives privatising the NHS? Part of the reason we end up with disagreements on here is because we (the aforementioned) aren't willing to vote for a Labour party that has signalled...

    Taking one for the team

    Is it cheating if it's covered by the rules (or laws if you prefer)? Pretending you've been hit in the head is cheating. Booting someone and giving a foul away is just part of the game - cynical yes, cheating no.

    Do many watch the Womens league on Sky?.

    Yeah, I'll watch it in the same way i've got the City v Newcastle match on now. Half watching but busy with other things (supposed to be fitting a door onto a display cabinet. Been watching it since the BBC used to show the FA Cup games with Carney, Yankee et al. It's come on leaps and bounds...

    Taking one for the team

    Completely disagree. The players know the rules and play to them. There's nothing better than seeing a well timed cynical challenge that breaks up play when your team is caught out of position. By all means, campaign to get the rules changed but as it stands taking one for the team is a...

    This Lindsay Hoyle business

    I didn't say they were. A collection of political positions will be mappable to an existing ideology - albeit with the possibility of needing a qualifier. No. I asked the question based on your stated position. Which was: My point being that the above "pragmatic" position, that you point to...

    This Lindsay Hoyle business

    Whether I get it or not is immaterial. It's still a political position and the sum of the parts is an ideology. It might have a qualifier but you haven't stumbled on some new formula of political thought. Tony Blairs 'third way' was just a re-branding of existing ideas that sought to hide some...

    This Lindsay Hoyle business

    It's interesting that you appear to be equating Tory-light with your notion of centre-left. I think that's probably where our difference of opinion largely lies. In my world-view, the Tory-left is still on the right - both socially and economically. If you believe that 'there lies the centre'...

    This Lindsay Hoyle business

    No. I'm saying that ideology is formed around political viewpoints. The sum of viewpoints dictates the ideology. Which is why I don't understand the whole centrist thing when it can be replaced (in many cases) with Liberal. It's also why someone can't declare themselves an ideological Marxist...
