I'm with you completely on every point. The club's shortsightedness where the ticket pricing policy is concerned is nothing short of baffling! But then, should we be surprised when the fans - the lifeblood of the club - have been increasingly marginalised, with practically no meaningful two-way...

I'm not sure that's correct. My understanding is that, if you're born in the UK to parents who are not British citizens or do not have settled status, you are eligible to apply to register as a British citizen but it's not automatic. I'm happy to be proved wrong so long as you don't call me a...

Fuck me, the bedwetters are out in force tonight!

No need for the insult fella, particularly given that I wasn't challenging your point but rather expanding on it. I added 'Just saying' in an attempt to make clear I wasn't taking sides. Seems I failed.

Nah, that'll be 'reet'.

Hmmm... Manchester has never looked so lovely.

Quite honestly, I'm not sure how City fans chanting for Rangers could be perceived as unacceptable even in these, ahem, enlightened times.

A child is automatically a British citizen by birth if they are born in the UK to a parent who is a British citizen or has settled status. Just saying.

Isn't it strange how he interprets the entirely independent and impartial CAS hearing as 'dodgy' but sees no problem with UEFA, an organisation with a long track record of corruption. Could it be because that simply wouldn't fit the narrative?

Which one?

I guess being judged on "probability" isn't the best way to go but, for me, correct in this situation. I'm no expert on this particular point but suspect that pre-emptive action such as this by the police falls into the 'probable cause' category. i.e. the concept of having reasonable grounds to...

Thanks matey. I acknowledge you were coming at the issue from a different angle but thought it useful to offer a legal perspective to help place some of the more extreme views in that context.

It's a little more complex than simply determining whether one piece of legislation supersedes another. In short, the Equality Act 2010 does not provide immunity from prosecution for criminal behavior. If an individual is suspected of committing a crime, they can be prosecuted regardless of...

I'll reserve judgement on what's considered 'acceptable'. However, in legal terms, Irish Travellers are defined as an ethnic group and, as such, receive protection against race discrimination, race being one of the nine protected characteristics in the UK under the Equality Act 2010 (excepting...

Hats off to you from PA (Pedants Anonymous). ; )

Mods. Is there any chance of doing some modding (if that's a word)?

Can we get this thread back on topic please? All valid opinions; just not here!

Not just the red tops fella! Undisguised contempt for us pretty much encompasses the whole print media - including (and perhaps particularly) 'broadsheets' such as the Guardian and Torygraph - plus numerous TV channels and websites.

I hate to be pedantic but, no, that's not blackmail. What you describe is actually an incentive to persuade clubs with zero interest shareholder loans to vote for the new rules. In other words, carrot rather than stick. The term 'blackmail' might legitimately be used in a senario in which the PL...

I'm not sure I've ever been this excited about an erection! ; )
