  1. To be frank I think having a travel ban from Somalia can only be a good thing. I'd back the same here.

     

    However, there must surely be some common sense in allowing the referee into the Country, if he's got all the necessary paperwork and no criminal record.

  2. I'm more baffled by the incompetence of it all. Surely FIFA were aware that the US has a travel ban on certain countries, including Somalia. Did they not think to check whether this referee would be allowed entry? Why were there no conversations beforehand? It's just another egg in the face moment.

    It is darkly interesting to see how crime figures across the board have fallen over the last 30 years, yet folks still believe that things have actually gotten worse - as the below graph indicates. 

     

    It's a tremendous example of how massive information exposure today can shape people's opinions, making problems either bigger or smaller than they actually are - and, sadly, be used to manipulate in various ways. 

     

    Recency bias and survivorship bias with respect to the past clearly play a part, too.

    Are the above trends replicated in violent crime statistics?

     

    How much of the decrease has came about due to the continued underfunding of the Police, meaning that the statistics are now artificially low?

    Did you see us dropping to League 1 at the start of this season?

    I didn't to be fair. 

     

    I'm pretty ignorant of the quality of League One but last time we were down there with a very poor squad we ran away with it.
