There is no point is debating any further what may or may not happen with the future of BN because no one can predict the future he’s toast though

I’d have preferred to have been watching them last season to us!

The only intelligent thing he’s done is bring some other party leaders to form a govt of national unity to try and palm off the stench of responsibility. however, that simply won’t be enough - he’s politically toast irrespective of what happens with Hamas - infact what will transpire in Gaza with many IDF conscript casualties will only make things worse for him. I could see Likud getting even getting rid to try and retain a respectable vote share.

Stop this or my Lcfc ptsd will return !

He said one of the worst - that could be a pool of a thousand !

Agree but no way was he getting sent off for the foul

yep we’ve won 13 from 14 and he’s a premier league player - he’s not a natural attacking player imo.

I meant the five they can choose from for their attacking players Summerville, gnonto, Rutter, piroe, James, gelhardt, poveda, bamford, ndidi and kdh are not natural ‘attacking players’ their defensive abilities are not on our levels

100% he’s still finding his feet he hasn’t been tactfully solidly challenged by another coach with a decent team - perhaps Mowbray the closest we’ve seen. Let’s see what farke has in his locker for Friday.

Hmmm - never realised that you could effectively be offside in your own half but given your explanation you can

The ‘settlers’ are not large enough in number to swing an election but the PR formula of Israeli democracy often delivers unstable govt and right wing groups will have enough seats to sometimes be ‘king maker’ and have disproportionate influence to their vote. israel has tended to vote for right wing parties since 2005 because of Hamas being in control of Gaza - the right wing parties promise to protect the citizens and the electorate drift in that direction. Likud currently have 27% of the knesset seats israeli arabs make up 20% of the electorate - unfortunately for them they have several Arab politocal parties chasing them and their voice is muted in govt because of this.

Er ……………

New Zealand deserve to win imo 14 v 14 for the last 7 mins

That’s ok in rugby I thought so too

At the moment var is only supposed to be for howlers too many people think it’s about making the right call - it isn’t the right call in a subjective incident is full of doubt on all sides. That doesn’t mean it’s a howler of a decision. Think about 100 people watching an incident - if 90+ of them agree and the ref has decided the opposite then it’s reasonable to call it a howler. Otherwise it’s just how it is. fwiw, I reckon var will evolve so that the var will be paramount and we will be re refereeing incidents and deciding for the onfield official. Unfortunately.

Since the international break we’ve outscored them 22-17 so the data agrees with you I dont see their defence or defensive midfield as being nearly up to our level though.

i reckon their front five are better than ours guess we’ll find out !

Regarding point 1, netenyahu was continually able to form coalition governments because he played the strong man and just had the most seats each GE - the only leader who could apparently guarantee security. There were five elections between 2019 and 2022. (Sometimes democracy doesn’t work that well!). That mask has now firmly slipped - the public aren’t stupid. Just as golda meir was unable to survive the aftermath of the Yom Kippur war in 1973 (which remember was won by an Israel who were initially surprised and outflanked by Egypt, Jordan and Syria) so will that same fate befall BN. Likud may well jettison him to try and avoid a really bad defeat.

The cabinet is a consequence of a lack of sensible partners prepared to enter coalition with BN’s likud that will change at the next GE we have a situation where both sides are being governed by people desperate to stay in power as their primary focus - netenyahu to stay out of court and Hamas to stay alive.

Israel will not elect BN in the next GE which won’t be far away whereas Hamas would stay in control in Gaza

No problem with having an opinion denying someone an alternative opinion isn’t a great starting point and inferring complicity for not agreeing with your point reflects the whole problem that exists in the region.

If we detach ourselves from the situation in Gaza and Israel, I suspect what Iran decides to do as a consequence will end up being the most important decision of this period of unrest.

I think the British govt were quite happy to break it recently too wrt to brexit agreement ( and refugees ??) not sure if NATO’s removal of ISIS from certain areas was technically a breach too I bet there are quite a lot of breaches around the world

Well we had two keepers the other night so the answer is yes (although akgun may be available again)

If you were a local journo then yes but you’re not that’s what I wrote ?
