    [Other Sport] 2024 Tour de France

    I was trying to avoid spoilers but failed. It did not reduce my enjoyment one bit. What a way to do it. It could have been an easy, full team lead-out but no, done the hard way. I had my doubt after Saturday but that was magnificent and worthy of a record holder. My late Mum loved the Tour and...

    [Football] Do you want Scotland to progress?

    Yep. And I'm 25% Scottish. Hope Billy has a great time and comes early uninjured.

    [News] Post Office Scandal -

    I'm not sure I agree and I am happy to take this discussion elsewhere to avoid derailing an important thread about this scandal. The difference from the RSPCA is that the PO was the victim, the police, and the prosecutor (not, I admit, in all cases).

    [Albion] The "Official" Albion Fan Advisory Board thread

    I don't feel so bad now about accidentally deleting the email and not being able to find it in my email bin.

    [News] Post Office Scandal -

    This needs more than individual prosecutions. It calls in to question the way that employed lawyers are conflicted between their obligations to their profession and to their employer. There should be no more prosecutions from anyone but the state CPS.

    But they are more informed and don't have the shared stadium experience.

    [Football] Clubs to Vote on VAR removal

    But clubs make most of their income out of supporters that don't go to matches.

    [Albion] Best moment of the season?

    These two. Palace shades it. I think. No, hold on. Er. Yes. Palace it is.

    [Football] Worst things about being in the Premier League

    VAR I could live with the other irritants but VAR can **** off. I never wanted it and it's turned out even worse than I expected.

    [Albion] Empty seats

    Traffic was great today on my trip from Lincolnshire. Plenty of empty spaces around us in the North stand but not surprising on a bank holiday weekend when the fixture was moved late.

    [Albion] Swindon play off games

    Went to the away leg but listened to the home leg on the radio. Don't remember ever being so tense. Luckily I had some vodka to hand to settle the nerves; one shot per successful penalty! Odd that some of our best memories are a 91st v 92nd 1-1 draw and a league 1 play off semi final!

    [Albion] Have you given up on this season?

    How about "no, have doubts we'll get any more points"? I only saw 1 league game last season thanks to long COVID so I'm grateful to be seeing any football and despite an 8 hour round trip I'm still hopeful of making the final 3 home games. Points in any of those games would be wonderful. And I...

    [Albion] Team for Manchester City

    Seems odd having a de Zerbi team and formation that picks itself

    [Albion] Are you going to Man City?

    Me too. Travelling in hope rather than expectation but that's part of the fun.

    [Football] FA Cup semi finals

    I checked IFAB law 11 and it has a definition that the play is the first point of contact.

    [Politics] If there were a General Election tomorrow poll

    I think that's where I'm headed. I believe that voting should be compulsory given our long struggle for a universal franchise. But I cannot bring myself currently to vote for any of the options. To be fair my old constituency only ever had four candidates and I don't know what the option will be...

    [Misc] The Official NSC Bird Spotting Thread.

    We moved from Orpington to Lincolnshire last year and have gone from basically pigeons and magpies to a whole range of birds. Last summer a young spotted woodpecker found the nut feeder and is a regular visitor again this year. I did try a bird table but that disappeared in a cloud of rooks and...
