According to the BBC, 15 Russian and 17 Belarusian athletes are being permitted to compete at the Olympics. They will not appear on medal tables, not be permitted to display flags, or to have national anthems played.
However, no doubt sympathisers in the crowd will inevitably appear on video...
Like it or not, we HAVE to rejoin the EU. We’ll probably be offered crap terms, but we could strive to change club rules from within. We have to get there first !
Each and every one of us, our children and their children have been shafted by a bunch of self righteous, pig ignorant shisters. I...
You're not gonna like this, but I'm delighted that we lost. Quite simply we didn't deserve to win. We have a mentally arthritic manager, with a history of stifling creativity. A guy who was a miserable failure at Middlesborough, a guy who's tactical ineptitude won the last Euros for Italy. What...
Very harrowing piece. Depressing reality. He states that Russians need to see a better outcome if they cease hostilities, but Putin can't be bought with promises of jam tomorrow. It's death or glory in his eyes. His subjects have been indoctrinated for eons by the state controlled media with...
I don't think anyone can deny that his tactical ineptitude won the last Euros for Italy. I've been unable to forgive him for that. Chess isn't a spectator sport, and I'd never pay to watch a match. The negativity, and stifling of our most creative players has alienated a large percentage of...
It's one of the best travel documentaries I've seen. However, as far a crime dramas go, it's about as tedious as watching Southgate's England. After about thirty minutes of watching that drivel, I don't care who did it and what their motivations were. It's dreadful !
Russia has issued a warrant for the arrest of Yulia Navalny.
I still can’t believe that her husband made the decision to return, when he could have been more effective alive in exile.
He must have been convinced that another Salisbury was an inevitability.
C'mon you lot ! NSC has proved itself to be a source of all knowledge over the years, but apart from an excellent contribution from Brovion, my question remains unanswered, and definitive proof continues to elude me.
The sad thing is, that when you look up Chris Garland on the internet, there are plenty of references to his alcoholism and gambling addiction, but this great act of sportsmanship doesn't appear to get a mention !
Like most of you, I'm completely and utterly hacked off with the amount of cheating both on and off the pitch in football. I'm convinced that whilst playing for Chelsea and Hove Albion in the early 70's, Chris Garland actually got the referee to rule out one of his 'goals', because his effort on...
Having just returned from Wrome, it must be horrendous living there. Traffic and pollution are off the scale. To get it into some kind of perspective, the Vatican hosts 25,000 visitors a day. Google states 16,000 visit The Colosseum every day. The Spanish Steps were rammed, and The Trevi...
Bloody hell ! 3:27 ?!! Last Friday we returned from Rome. the Vueling flight was cancelled 30 minutes after it was due to take off. No communication. No explanation. I still don't know why it was cancelled. Ultimately from another terminal they booked 180 people alternative flights . This...
Having watched that video, I feel really guilty that I was naive enough to sympathise with the Ukrainian aggressors, when in reality I should have thrown what little weight I have behind the poor downtrodden Russians. It's quite obvious that they've been alienated by the west, and forced into...
