Except there is absolutely no evidence of racism as far as I have seen. It is always non-white criminal harmed by police office = equals racist attack. |

I jumped to the conclusion that punching the female officer in the nose was the reason for the rough treatment, but the protest would suggest that those people believe that there was a racial element to it.
The officer should get in hot water, but it's hardly the crime of the century now is it?
If the suspect is cooperating the whole time, then that would be much more shocking. The context is very important and has been stripped away. |

Blackburn either have to hold out for a better price, or just submit to the lower offer to get the deal done and dusted. |

But Phil, I was told that there was nothing in the links and that you'd jumped the gun by reporting on this story. |

Looking at the footage, I can't see how that action is acceptable.
On the other hand, it's interesting that the thugs who broke a woman's nose are presenting themselves as innocent victims.
Protests in Rochdale are misplaced because the event occurred at Manchester Airport, but the Rochdale Police do not have my sympathy after the way they turned a blind eye to the Rochdale grooming gangs. |

I came back to the thread to say that where relationships are concerned, as hard as it can be in the moment relationships don't work out for a reason and you will naturally find a better fit. My parents divorced when I was a child and that led me into a weird view of relationships in which I felt like relationships only ended because people don't try enough, very often it is obvious when people aren't right for each other even if they don't notice until much later. I really believe that once you really understand who you are and know how you should be treated and how you should treat others, you will find the right person for you eventually, but you do have to be positive and open to opportunities.
To tie in with the movie comment, the common message is that you are where you are supposed to be or will end up where you are supposed to be, and you should not try to replay the past too much or hope to change it. You do have the ability to shape your future through your actions in the present. You do have to accept the pain that comes along with the joy, be that losing a loved one who died or who you broke up with. |

It would be nice if they reflected a bit on what worked and what didn't. There have been some great moments on the show. I find Mark Murphy's pantomime stick incredibly annoying. Terry comes across as a bore and a bully at times. Phil was underused and mocked, which seems unfair as Phil isn't able to or doesn't want to give it back as good as it's given.
The keepie uppie challenge is very dull and would have worked better as a one off challenge.
I still think Life's a Pitch is still worth a watch, I just hope that they improve on things by toning things down. I don't know how they will replace Phil though. |

I think Luton just said, we'll get some of it done, but we both know we'll only be here one season, so we will get on with the rest of the work over the next two summers ready to come up again. |

Apparently that's a new premier league requirement. I don't get the logic, but then again I don't understand why they ruin the spectacle with VAR. |

I'm not an expert on Pep, but I get the impression that he doesn't have so much love for Spain that he would manage them. On a certain level players want to maximize their potential to win things and join successful clubs and in the case of players with options, like Declan Rice, join the national team at the highest level they can manage. Pep had a choice of Spain or no international football. As a manager he could manage any country on the international level, or not even bother managing an international side. |

Foreigners that have lived in a country for a long time are not from that country. Players like Musiala are borderline and they should play for whichever country they most identify with. I draw the line at an adult like Greg Rusedski changing his allegiance especially when he didn't have a British accent marking him out as not being British. |

It feels like you are trying to insinuate that people who don't want a German manager are somehow bigoted. I live in Germany, have a German wife and two of my kids are half German, so I'm certainly not anti-German or bigoted against Germans. It's just because it is supposed to be the national teams and when you start having foreign managers it dilutes that concept of country against country. |

Other top footballing nations do not need to hire a foreign manager. The two foreign appointments were jokes. The only foreign manager I would accept would be Pep just because he doesn't have a strong affiliation with Spain considering that he is Catalan. |

A decent manager would appreciate how KM manages his young players. Just look at how KM managed Hutchinson. Sarmiento got plenty of opportunities, he just didn't take them and proved himself a better finisher than starter.
I'd be very happy if we could get him on a permanent signing, but I'd also be happy to see him come in on loan. Whatever KM thinks. |

Facts are facts though. He said it about people who were against taking down the statue of Robert E Lee and people who wanted to take it down. He was basically saying that it is a reasonable issue to be on either side about. Then the media and Trump detractors attached the quote to say that Trump believes that white nationalists are good people.
There is enough bad stuff about Trump to hate him for, there is no need to make up other stuff.
TDS is unhinged though. It is perfectly reasonable for people to vote for him whether they like the man or not considering that they think their interests will be better served under Trump. |

Could it be that you are hoping for confirmation bias? Do you really believe that Trump said that there were good nero Nazis? Or perhaps do you think that would be majorly damaging if it were true?
The issue Trump was referring to was about the concept of taking down a statue of Robert E Lee, and he said that there are very fine people on both sides of that argument. It kind of contrasts with Hillary who referred to her political adversaries as a basket of deplorables. |

That Trump is about hate and bigotry is just your opinion even if that opinion gets a lot of thumbs up on here.
When Trump said that there are a lot of good people on both sides of America he wasn't wrong.
I just can't stand this hate thy neighbour attitude. I don't hate people who vote for people I don't like. I might view them as misguided, but in the end they are my common men. |
