    The rule itself was designed to stop intentional fumbles etc. Now that it's here, I don't see how they can have it continue to serve its purpose whilst also not impacting genuine fumbles - I don't think you can put it on an official to decide what is and isn't intentional.

    Yeah, fair enough.  I guess the whole nature of rules in sports means you always get situations where applying the rules correctly seems unfair.    

  2. That's a huge mistake by the Bengals.  Six points down, looks like the receiver had broken the plane but was called short, they run a quick play and lose yards then can't score on third or fourth down either.

    Complete fucking weirdos gathering outside Buckingham Palace.

    The BBC feed featured someone who had travelled from London to Windsor after hearing the news because she "wanted to be in Windsor".  

    She's in Scotland m8.

    Why do folk say silly things like "the whole country will be concerned"?

    There are loads of folk who don't care. Why pretend otherwise? Even saying something like there will be people all across the country who are concerned would be better, as that's accurate. It doesn't say how many people but covers that there will be folk in all four of the countries who make up the UK who are sad royalists.

     

    Absolutely this.  It's culture wars shite, trying to make on there's one strand of opinion in the country.  The majority love the monarchy / the Queen, a fair amount don't care, and a small number fucking hate it.  You get the same shite from racists who talk about immigrants adapting to British culture as if British culture is an actual identifiable thing.

    I wish the news reports would use people's name, rather than the Duke of Cambridge etc. I've now clue who is what Duke and have no interest. Give me an actual first name.

     

    Okay, you can be Bruce.

    Going to be a tsunami of salty tears from private landlords at today's SG announcement. Oh how my heart bleeds for them emoji28.png

    The BBC feed currently has expert reaction to this policy from two people - the CEO of Scotland's largest lettings agency, and the Chief Exec of the Scottish Association of Landlords.  

    Somebody really should set up some kind of charity.

    I was at primary school when this game happened.

    Whenever it is referenced now, I immediately recall one of the parents, on the Monday morning after the game, overhearing me and some friends talking about it. They interjected and started insisting that the referee had been spotted in Glasgow Airport post-match wearing an Italy jersey.

    At the time, I was utterly outraged. I remember going home after school and telling my parents about this flagrant injustice, but they were sceptical. It still hasn't been conclusively disproven to me, though. 

    And now it's on the Internet, that makes it true.  The SFA should be seeking reparations.
