The age verification is tangentially related, as it is required as a direct result of legislation being introduced by the government, and continually getting modified every few months. The digital ID seems very much as being brought in to solve a problem the government is creating. It's been also been sold as a means of ensuring people are checked for eligibility to work in the UK, but again, that was already a requirement, and has been for years, which is why responsible employers checked driving license or passport info on the start of a new employee. How difficult is it to access government services presently? People have been registering with GPs, getting jobs, registering for driving licenses, taxing cars, getting state pensions etc for decades and we've never needed them before The issue of the app is that even if it only releases the required info, is that it very much depends on there being zero vulnerabilities in the implemented code. This is always easier said than achieved. For an extremely simple example, a classic vulnerability in SQL database systems is code injection. Someone designs an interface where you can enter a name, and the system returns the age verified flag. Cool. Then a hacker enters the name: Joe bloggs" GO use master select all from sys.databases and suddenly instead of disclosing and age flag, they are getting back the name of the internal databases on the server. That's trivial level stuff, hackers will resort to all sorts of methods to weasel their ways in, be it through phishing attempts and social engineering to trick government bods into inadvertently downloading malware, brute force DDos attacks to overwhelm servers etc. This kind of system would have to have absolutely top notch security, with the most rigorous testing imaginable. By the sounds of it, at least from the itv article, it's being outsourced on the cheap as a bolt on addition to the pre existing one login system. Not exactly giving much optimism for the final product.

Holding it internally and securely, not a problem. Building lots of external interfaces to that data and tying it all together makes it more vulnerable. It's not the government holding it thats the issue. It's them inadvertently creating gateways with vulnerabilities in them that will put everyone at risk of fraud and Id theft. If it's all in one central place, then when it gets compromised Everything will be stolen - names, addresses, age, financial details, employment details, details of children, medical records, state pension details. The internet age verification is an absolute disaster zone, people having to share sensitive id documents with poorly vetted third parties , but being rolled out at breakneck pace. The first step should have been producing an age verification system that guaranteed absolute privacy, with the only thing disclosed to the final website is just an old/not old flag and nothing else. Not the current approach, where platforms are asking for id doc scans, selfies or credit card numbers.

The problem with the ID card proposals are that it isn't a card. It's an app. On your phone. Which means storing details on an internet facing device, and making a government based interface for digitally checking for all the miriad ever increasing number of age and Id checks mandated by the government (thanks to the online safety act, I got ID checked the other day when turning on my Xbox - to sign into my Microsoft account. The account itself is over 20 years old, but now you have to submit a selfie or scan of id to Yoti (3rd party identity checkers used by Microsoft, who "delete all images straight away, trust us") After all that was done, I was finally able to get to the dashboard and watch a bloody dvd). Which means the government is proposing to implement a shodily developed repository of everyone's most valuable private id data that will be the biggest, juiciest hacking target in history. If it was a card in your wallet it would be a lot bloody safer. But instead, it is a digital interface, which is soon enough going to be needed everywhere online to prove your age, interacting with multiple 3rd party identity checkers with servers all over the world, to prove you are old enough to go online to look at things like YouTube, Reddit, any social media, football forums, you name it. Edit: For those who haven't read it, there was news at the end of last year about the security vulnerabilities of the system being used, and the "high level" of risk of data theft possible https://www.itv.com/news/2025-12-18/whistleblowers-raise-extreme-concern-about-security-of-governments-digital-id

This deal was brokered by Chesney Hawkes, so thanks to him, we got Dujuan on Loan-y.

It's a good job we have such a good relationship with the Prem and the EFL, I'm sure it really helps at times like these.

Would rather have subbed him off and had Bob up top after the red card. Awful performance again, the only thing he is good at is time wasting , so should never start a game in any circumstances. Bring him on in stoppage time if you are winning, or leave him parked on the bench, where he won't get in his teammates way.

When they see him play, they'll change their club name to Wat-Duhail. Sorry chaps, no refunds.

Vestergard starting up front on Saturday please. Somehow 800 times more mobile than Ayew

Autocorrect: Did you mean? Leicester have a lot of awful quality

It doesn't even make sense when we do successfully draw them out and pass around them, because then you've worked some space for a fast break - but Ayew is the striker, so that categorically isn't going to happen.

Ayews got loads of emotions. I've seen him display: Tiredness Weariness Discomfort Sadness Anger And that was all just the time a coach asked him to run 10 yards in the warm up.

KPFC fans: "We need to get behind the lads!" WBA attackers - "No problem, it's easy"

He won't learn "pass" from Ayew. Might pick up "take 20 touches and fall over" though.

Hippo is a 3000 pound liability? Pfft, small time. Ayew is a 5 million pound liability, and he's not even semi aquatic.

Begovic let in 3 per game in his last 2 appearance a well. This teams defensive problems go way beyond the keepers. The whole set up is crap, the team's organisation and positioning has been disorganised all seaon. We just aren't a well coached unit in any way. The last time anyone looked like they actually had been prepared and organised properly was under Enzo.

Movie is out on Digital streaming now, but it is 20 clams to "buy" on Amazon, which is a bit steep. Shame its not out on Blu Ray or Crunchyroll yet.

He's done it before https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/oct/26/donald-trump-rumbelows-cup-saint-and-greavsie-ian-st-john-jimmy-greaves

We want young players in the team, they are going to make mistakes at times. In fact, in the long run, mistakes might actually work out well for us if the players learn lessons from them, and don't make the same mistakes again. In that context, dropping a big mistake in a game you go on to win comfortably isn't bad at all IF he doesn't make a mistake like that again, and if he find himself in the same situation he just clears it. In that game situation, where we are 3 up and in no hurry, you can use the short goal kick to waste even more time if you are smart. Set up for the short one, waste a bit of time so everyone gets marked, then do the old "Oh no, I've changed my mind" routine and wave everyone away to the halfway line before going long anyway. Then it inevitably goes out for a throw in or something, and maybe the manager brings on a time wasting sub, or Ayew sits down for a bit of treatment. Classic timewasting 101 straight out the shithouse playbook.

Didn't they have Kipre as well?

Scoring from your own half gets you a bonus point

I didn't dismiss you on Saturday - I said nothing about Cifuentes. I was just sticking the boot into Cooper, saying he didn't go defensive to hold onto leads, he started defensive until losing, then made a token effort to attack when it was too late. I don't think I've ever even expressed an opinion about Cifuentes this season. Not been convined by much he's done so far, that's for sure!

Maybe he could have done better, but the real problem was how much there was for him to do in that second half. We lost complete control of that second half right from the off, and were completely battered all over the pitch.

I'm starting to think that out of our 3 strikers, the best striker is none of them, its actually Bob.

They've definitely been shafted by whoever planned those rail lines.

If they hadn't included Finland, then the game might not be suitable for families, bit of a suspiciously shaped map otherwise
