    It's a weird one, (a) because they already have such a scheme, but it's capped at 30,000 people annually, no way near enough, and (b) a lot of seasonal workers applied for right to stay under the EU Settlement scheme and come over for picking season like they did before - but they're going to...

    [Football] Turgid game

    Brighton 0-0 Bristol City at the Goldstone on New Years Day 1992. I remember standing on the terraces thinking to myself 'this is the most boring game I have ever watched'. I don't think I have any reason to change that assessment. It was also bloody cold. The previous home game was the 3-4...

    fair enough. I thought Tim Loughton made a good point but I guess he was misguided

    I suppose the point is that the only way to claim asylum, as basically admitted by Braverman, is to enter the country illegally and then claim asylum. As we are trying to stop illegal immigration we need to provide legal routes for genuine asylum seekers with strong claims for asylum, which...

    [Football] World Cup - Day Four

    I think they're the last team to qualify for the tournament, beating New Zealand in a playoff. Playing this Spain side is a horrible proposition for them, like a Championship side playing a full strength Man City.

    [Misc] The Award-winning official "More Snow Tomorrow?" Thread [2024-25 Season]

    The last time there was a beast from the East I was in Indonesia in t-shirt and shorts, watching the radar of snow streamers whipping across Cornwall and trying to get through on the phone to my wife, whilst she got stuck in the snow after rescuing the kids from school and had to abandon her car...

    [Football] Time to leave FIFA and start up & alternative governing body ?

    But eventually, if you want a FIFA with all the countries of the world involved, they will vote for the leaders and vote for the world cup venues that are causing all the angst now. Why does that change unless the individual FAs change?

    [Football] Time to leave FIFA and start up & alternative governing body ?

    No, it would be the same house. It's made up of representatives of all the countries' FA's. They already have the power to do everything you want them to do. But they don't.

    [Football] Time to leave FIFA and start up & alternative governing body ?

    So all the countries of the world leave FIFA and set up a new organisation based on exactly the same structure? It makes little sense. The house needs cleaning from the inside.

    [Football] Time to leave FIFA and start up & alternative governing body ?

    I'm not entirely sure what you mean by 'Leave FIFA' ? What would you replace it with, perhaps an organisation where each individual country FA is a member and they collectively elect a governing body to manage world football, with the entire group of FA's coming together to vote on the most...

    Well, I think you're coo-coo, but then again if your team share this same unfettered optimism anything is possible. 0-5 is more possible though.
