Please settle an argument.

What was the name for a temporary portacabin classroom in the 80s?

My wife and I are from very different geographical regions of the UK.

Please reply with the name for them at your school and the County you lived in!

End Clubs and In-between Clubs
at 08:34 23 Jul 2025

An interesting article about the German Brentford, Eintracht Frankfurt, developing players and selling them.

“This is what I tell the players: ‘If your development is faster than our development as a club, and I get the money I expect, I will let you go’. This is why so many young talents like to come to Frankfurt, because we know what we have to do to develop them.

“Selling players is part of my job. I am not emotional about it. It’s business.”

Sycamore Gap vandals sentenced
at 15:31 15 Jul 2025

The Judge has been very strong. She went beyond the maximum guideline for sentencing (4 years) due to the social harm and distress caused, and due to them revelling in the crime and the fact that others had been arrested for their crime.

Sentence 4 years 3 months.

They will serve a minimum of 40% in prison (approx 20 months).

What's the feeling on that sentence?

I am aware that some "one punch killers" have been given shorter sentences than that, for example. I am concerned that the Judge said that the widespread public response was a factor in increasing the sentence. That suggests that social media campaigns could influence sentencing.

The VAR intervention
at 16:05 26 Apr 2025

Let's leave aside the fact that it is incredibly soft and not sufficient contact to bring him down (the current applicable test)...

VAR seem to believe that it was possibly sufficient contact. So then they should look at where the contact starts, as that is the point of the possible foul.

The initial contact was outside the box. The point of the foul was therefore not inside the area. Therefore it couldn't be a Penalty.

Therefore VAR HQ shouldn't have intervened at all.

It should have remained with the on field referee's original decision.

A complete failure to apply the rules fairly and impartially.

Homeopaths are on the Skilled Worker list for UK Visas.

But surely a basic understanding of homeopathy tells us that it would work best if there was only one homeopath per 60 million people.

An incredible story. And there was me just thinking that Mel Jones was merely a trailblazer who proved that she was just as good, if not better, than the male TMS commentators.

Oh, and Afghanistan Women's XI for Team of the Year, too!

Why can't you start your own thread asking if it is ok to start a thread about starting threads?

If you do: here's a tip! Put it in "General" or the data from the feedback you get will be less reliable due to complaints about you putting it in the wrong part of the Forum.

The referee gave the free kick, so unless that was a clear and obvious error, why are they looking at what happened later?

*is* a Premier League midfielder, isn't he? Not just that he plays for a club who are playing in the Premier League. But he, personally, has demonstrated that he absolutely belongs there.

No question. Playing against some of the best in the position in the world he completely held his own.

It's quite remarkable that we were able to convince him to drop to League One.
