    not sure if already mentioned, but there are plenty of more balanced Leicester fans discussing this on here https://www.foxestalk.co.uk/topic/113108-homophobic-chanting-at-brighton-fans/

    Official Running Thread

    23:00 at Leicester Park Run this morning. Distinctly average performance but nice to do a new course, and friendly banter from local runners when I got the shout out as a visitor from Brighton Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thanks for this advice. The Kayal came good - this has to be an omen Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Leicester trains

    Arriving in Leicester this evening. Recommendations for (centrally located) South Indian restaurants anyone? Then Parkrun in Victoria Park tomorrow morning (good nearby brunch recommendations, anyone?) followed by relaxing morning/early afternoon pre-match. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Barcelona: Van hits crowds on Ramblas tourist area

    I don't think it's racist or indeed right wing to be opposed to Islam as an ideology. I would count myself as left-wing and on some topics I'd probably be seen by some on here as extremely left-wing. However I find Islam reprehensible as a belief system in most of its aspects, and I would count...

    Cyclist on illegal bike who killed a pedestrian on manslaughter charged 'blamed victim'

    If I mention that front bike brakes are banned in Islam, will this thread get moved to "the other stuff"? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    21 mile walk...

    That's not far off the longest distance I would run on my weekly long run when I'm training in the build up for distance races, so I assume walking it would be ok (it'd take a bloody long time to walk though so I'd probably prefer to run it given the choice). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gay Only?

    What like a deal to sell dangerous drugs to teenagers, or a deal to market child pornography, or a deal to provide trafficked slave labour to an employer? You wouldn't want the government to get involved in any of that through the legislative process?

    Gay Only?

    Exactly - they get changed by due democratic process (sometimes influenced by campaigning), and when they do, I'm happy to abide by the new law.

    Gay Only?

    Well who exactly determines what is "right" in that case? As a democrat, in a parliamentary democracy, who believes in that system, I accept the rule of law, and don't pick and choose those laws which appeal to me or my own personal prejudices as being the ones to abide by.

    Gay Only?

    The (UK) law is clear about what you can and can't do in this respect, if you are selling goods or services to members of the public https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/sites/default/files/what_equality_law_means_for_your_business.pdf

    Official Running Thread

    This 10k advice from knocky1 definitely seems right to me - I've got a similar 5k time to you (somewhere between 22:00 and 22:20 on most parkruns these days), and my best recent 10k (47:19) was when I paced the first 5-6k at a slower than parkrun pace, and picked it up with negative splits in...

    Does the loyalty scheme now mean that the away fans club are a closed shop?

    I was concerned about this (potential closed shop) initially, but with any system there will some winners and losers and this is probably as fair as it can be. My partner and I have had season tickets throughout the Amex period, and have been to a handful of away and cup games most season -...

    Barnet tickets

    But season ticket holders get their full quota of STH loyalty points even if they leave their seats empty for any or all of the home games during the season. Why should it be different rules for points accumulated from away tickets or cup match tickets? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Will be staying over in Leicester on Friday night prior to the match. Thinking of starting the day on Saturday with an auspicious ParkRun in Victoria Park, Leicester. Anyone else planning to fly the Albion flag?

    Davy Propper: Record midfield signing from PSV - OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED

    I think the spelling (and therefore the pronunciation) is Pröpper, so all the 'proper' puns aren't really going to work I'm afraid Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    World Athletics Championships London 2017

    Having watched it all evening, I feel that the real excitement was watching the imperious performance of Almaz Ayana in the Women's 10,000m. It seems to have been rather unfairly eclipsed by all the tedious Bolt/Gaitlin discussion, which is a shame - it's really unusual to see a field of elite...

    Comrade Rosenior-new Guardian columnist

    I'm not sure what evidence you have for these assertions, or whether this is just subjective prejudice. However, I'm 62 (so on strict grounds of age, at least, probably "grown up", although I'm happy and proud to call myself a socialist, and have become more so as I got older). I also would...
