    [Football] What changes would you make to the international football schedule?

    True, but that would be the only time that an international manager can try new players, otherwise it's throwing them in at deep in in competitive matches. I would suggest the real problem is not too much international football but too much club European football, but then we all know money...

    [Football] What changes would you make to the international football schedule?

    The only thing I think I would change is having a pre qualifying tournament in Europe for the minnows and therefore smaller qualifying groups. Unfortunately, money talks and the administrators of the game just want more and more.

    But you then get meaningless friendlies all the time.

    [Football] Everton Points Deduction.

    Going to be interesting how the follow this through with City and Chelsea. Also, if the law suits are successful, what will happen if Man City are penalised and their actions prevented teams being in the Champions League?

    Well the RNRB was introduced to satisfy traditional tory voters. Should remove that.

    [Albion] ITV 4 Big match revisited

    On now, Big Match Revisited featuring Brighton v Blackpool 1978. We won but the contrived draw at the Dell robbed us of promotion.

    [Politics] Inheritance Tax

    I think it serves two purposes. Firstly, it helps the very people that Tories always want to help, the rich, their donors and sponsors etc etc. Secondly, because of the general lack of understanding by the population, helpful media headlines persuade many who have no chance of paying the tax...

    [Politics] Inheritance Tax

    Dead people do not pay tax. The tax is on the financial value of what they leave behind.before distribution.

    [Politics] Inheritance Tax

    Depends how you look at. The beneficiary has not paid any tax on the inheritance they have just received. Tax may have been paid by the deceased during their lifetime but that's irrelevant. Also, many estates have their value accrued purely because the value of property has risen and no tax...

    [Politics] Inheritance Tax

    If one parent dies and the whole estate passes to the surviving parent then when the second dies, the threshold is double (eg single threshold is currently £325k so double is the £650k you mention). The threshold has been the same since 2010 (when my mum passed away). My dad had died in 1986...

    [Politics] Inheritance Tax

    That's the funniest thing I've read on here today. As Fataddick says, get a new solicitor. That or make sure you see where the tax element is banked and be very suspicious if the solicitor claims it has to go through his books first!!!

    [Politics] Stop the boats

    With due respect, and credit to the members of your family that have done what they did, it is not about what a family have done or where they have come from, it is about the views of an individual. I note that you have stated you won't vote for the Tories this time round which suggested you...

    [Albion] Ajax Goal Celebrations - Beer Throwing Bans?

    Afraid I have no sympathy for anyone that launches a beer into the air. Yes, if they are jostled and jumping around and spill a bit, but there is a big difference. A few years ago it suddenly became the 'spontaneous' thing for footballers to remove their shirts when they scored. Nobody had...

    [Politics] Stop the boats

    In my view the only reason we had a referendum was due to how pathetic Cameron was. In 2010, despite a successful PR campaign to blame Brown for the global crash, he failed to win a majority and therefore he was vulnerable to the far right of his party and the Brexit vote. (I'd also blame...

    [Politics] Stop the boats

    No, you might not have been fooled by PR stunts, you might just be a selfish greedy bastard who wants to pay no taxes and have less public sector services because, as Tories often say, the individual knows better as to how to spend their money than the state!!! The people that were fooled were...

    [Politics] Stop the boats

    Of course you're welcome to your opinion as am I. One Nation, Broad Church etc etc are just PR stunts to fool people but at the end of the day, those Tories in power are in it just to line their own pockets and those of their friends and donors. Their handling of the pandemic surely is...

    [Albion] Ajax Goal Celebrations - Beer Throwing Bans?

    Drinking alcohol in sight of the pitch was banned in 1985 and that video certainly doesn't look like it is pre 1985!!
