I thought they did, to a single player who happened to play for Everton. There have been plenty of other examples but nothing is ever done especially since VAR appeared as i guess the really game changing decisions that turned out to dives would have been picked up and overturned (penalty...

Was it that he really wanted that release clause inserted, or a way to delay any deal and create extra time for other clubs to show an interest (especially if our interest is made public) Would he really have still insisted on a release clause if only West Ham offered one, but clubs like Man...

Dashcam footage of a building being completely destroyed by a tornado (from a couple of days ago)

For balance, are there figures on what the water companies have invested in the infrastructure during that time? And figures that would have been forecasts for what the state would have invested during the time of private ownership if it had remained in public hands? ie. - Would the state have...

"Hull’s 1-0 defeat by Plymouth on Saturday meant they missed out on the play-offs by just three points. But Rosenior’s efforts were enough to make him one of three nominees for the Championship manager of the season award, won by Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna." So nominated as one of the 3 for...

Not sure why clear and obvious doesn't apply though. Either they were clearly and obviously off-side or not and that is all it needs to be (bringing back the advantage to the attacking player once again) however the people behind how it's implemented have taken clear and obvious to apply purely...

Why wouldn't you want the opportunity to see your club playing against the top clubs in the country, and against some of the very best teams in Europe? I'd rather see what we can do against those top sides over watching a few more wins in a season in a lower division and what is better? 4th in...

Agreed, it was always sung as and we're going up to win the cup ......

Think i read something saying he felt if the black had been re-spotted correctly, then the red wouldn't pot. He turned it down as an act of sportsmanship by refusing a ball that was on which he felt shouldn't have been available (even if by potting it meant he'd have gone on to win the frame)...

Yes please

I wonder if Wolves and Sunderland fans thought that as they were relegated from the PL? only to see them relegated a second time

FYI - That used to happen long before Theresa may came to power For example, in the 90's, C&A in Brighton lost more in stock at wholesale price than they made in profit for the year on the goods sold, so they went bust. People would go in and take armfuls of clothing and walk out of there...

Always used to be that for offenses like these, they used to only issue a Police caution or it was often deemed not to be in the public interest to bother to even bring a case like this to court (in years gone by, including under previous Governments) and the offender got off scot-free.

"Mizzy, real name Bacari-Bronze O'Garro, was riding a green Lime e-bike on 15 June 2022, when he snatched the device from a woman's hand in central London." So this happened nearly 2 years ago, before being jailed for his "pranks" - Does he actually still do any? or is it the usual read a...

Or the equally sick follow up " You stupid B~@#*&d, you'd have fit on that door"

Lack of flexibility is bad, then maybe this is the answer - issue them all with a foam batons. It's bound to be the cheapest option too, as they are only a few quid each on Ebay so 2 birds with 1 stone

Newsflash - Public sector uses procurement whether it be the Police, MOD or Councils. Each one will use it's own procurement arrangements and they will have put out appeals for companies to tender for those contracts and this will mean that there will be therefore a variation in the price that...

So several posts refer to procurement however the discussion can't be widened on this and has to stay focused solely on night sticks as it is something that can be used to bash ... the Tories ?

??? - I suggest you read the whole reply. No mention of the police at all, or their equipment but it was a general reply about the issues with the procurement process, and also to the point about the suggestion to have 'cheapest' price rules in place during procurement "All you’d have to do...

A big drawback to that is that cheapest isn't always best. For example why buy some piece of equipment for £300 that will break within 2 years when they can buy one for £350 that will last a decade or longer? The biggest issue is that there is a lack of flexibility when it comes to public...
