  5. They didn't rise to power legally, using violence, coercion and fraud so I reckon they would have found a way which ever system was in place. I'm sure there are example of despots gaining power in FPT post type democracies.
  6. https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/yann-kermorgant-leicester-city-scrapheap-to-charlton-athletic-cult-hero/ How striker went from Leicester City scrapheap to Charlton Athletic cult hero - He made Foxes pay 4 By Ewan Mason Former Charlton Athletic striker Yann Kermorgant showed Leicester City what they were missing after he swapped the King Power Stadium for The Valley in 2011. The Frenchman signed for the Foxes on a free transfer after leaving Stade Reims in the summer of 2009, but he struggled to make an impact during his debut season in England and finished the 2009/10 campaign with just one goal to his name in the Championship. Leicester reached the play-offs at the end of that season, and Kermorgant featured as a substitute in both legs of their semi-final clash with Cardiff City, with the second leg in South Wales proving to be his final appearance for the club. The game was decided by a penalty shootout, during which Kermorgant decided to attempt a panenka which was easily saved by goalkeeper David Marshall, and the Bluebirds progressed to Wembley. The striker spent the 2010/11 season on loan at Ligue 1 side Arles-Avignon, before he was not handed a squad number and told to find a new club upon his return to Leicester in 2011. Kermorgant signed for Charlton Kermorgant joined Charlton in September 2011, with the Addicks aiming to win promotion back to the Championship under Chris Powell, who had worked with the striker while he was first-team coach at Leicester. He spoke about his decision to move to The Valley in an interview at the time, as per Sky Sports. "I had a number of offers from clubs in France, but during my time at Leicester City, I had an excellent relationship with Chris Powell," Kermorgant said. "Once I met Chris, and discussed his style of play and his ambitions for the club, I felt that Charlton is going to be an exciting place to be over the next few years, and I want to be a part of it." Kermorgant's decision to sign for Charlton proved to be a good one, as he formed an excellent strike partnership with Bradley Wright-Phillips and scored 12 goals en route to lifting the League One title in 2012. He then scored 12 goals and provided nine assists the following season as Charlton finished 9th in the Championship - their highest league finish since being relegated from the Premier League in 2007. His aerial presence, physicality and hard-working nature, combined with his free-kick-taking, link-up play and finishing ability make Kermorgant one of the most complete centre-forwards to have played for Charlton since the club dropped out of the top-flight. Yann Kermorgant's stats for Charlton (Transfermarkt) Appearances Goals Assists 96 32 15 Kermorgant made Leicester pay Yann Kermorgant scores against Leicester City Kermorgant scored several memorable goals during his time in SE7, but he undoubtedly would have enjoyed the ones he netted against Leicester more than any. Charlton faced the Foxes three times in the Championship before Kermorgant was inexplicably sold to AFC Bournemouth in January 2014, shortly after Roland Duchatelet completed his takeover of the club. The Frenchman showed Leicester what they were missing as he scored every time he faced them, contributing to three 2-1 victories for Charlton, despite the reception he received from the opposing supporters, who had clearly not forgotten his missed penalty at the Cardiff City Stadium in 2010. "I hear the abuse but I love it," Kermorgant told The Telegraph in 2013, shortly after netting his third goal in as many games against his former club. "I can't understand why they boo me. Maybe they should stop. I'm still scoring and we are winning every time."

Head coach Ryan Lowe revealed on Thursday that a deal for a 'goalscoring 8' was 'more or less done'. Callum Wright gets used to his new surroundings at the Brick Community Stadium And the 25-year-old from Huyton has become Latics' fifth signing of the summer - all in attacking positions. “It’s an amazing football club - I’ve known about Wigan Athletic all of my life, and I’m excited to be here," said Wright. “As soon as the gaffer got in touch with me, I wanted to come here. It made sense - coming back up north and trying to kick on again. “I think the gaffer’s system really suits me to a tee - and what he expects from his players is exactly what I’ll bring to the team. “Hopefully, I can settle in quickly and crack on. At this level, I’ve got lots of goals and assists over the seasons, and I want to do that here and get Wigan bouncing again. "It's the first time to come in really, just before the first pre-season game. "I'll get to know the lads a lot more in Spain, being around each other 24/7, training hard and hopefully bonding off the field as well." Wright made 35 appearances for Argyle in the Championship last term, and played his part as the Pilgrims dumped Premier League champions Liverpool out of the FA Cup in the third round. “We’ve been searching for a goalscoring midfielder for some time, and Callum fits that profile," said Lowe. "We have monitored him for some time, and we're glad he chose us over several other League One clubs. "Callum has experience in both League One and the Championship and knows what it takes to be successful. “He is an extremely creative player who comes alive in the final third, and we're thrilled that Callum will be joining us on our journey." Wright spent time at Tranmere Rovers, Everton and Blackburn Rovers as a junior before signing his first professional contract at Leicester City in the summer of 2018. After two loans at Cheltenham Town, he joined Blackpool on a permanent deal in the summer of 2022 before moving on to Plymouth six months later. He more than played his part as Argyle reached the EFL Trophy Final and won the League One title with over 100 points. Latics sporting director Gregor Rioch added: "I am delighted we have been able to bring Callum to the football club. "Callum is an exciting, attack-minded player, and I am confident that he will be an excellent addition to our squad. "I want to thank Plymouth Argyle for facilitating the move, and wish Callum all the best during his stay at Wigan Athletic." Ironically, Plymouth moved quickly to replace Wright in the form of Fleetwood Town midfielder Brendan Wiredu, who came close to joining Latics in the January window. "Brendan is a great acquisition for us," said Plymouth boss Tom Cleverley, the former Latics loanee. "He is strong, versatile and, as evidenced by the fact he was Fleetwood's captain, a leader. It is great to have him on board."

  16. The difference is you can tackle a player with the ball whilst the goalie is off limits. It should apply to throw-ins maybe more that 8 secs though. The biggest time wasting is free kicks within sight of goal mostly by the ref. Mark the spot, do the strides mark the line and then give them 1osec to take the kick. Refs also seem to have stopped quick free kicks near to goal as well.
  17. Abbey Road Tribute · Follow Things You May Not Know About the Beatles The Real Girl Behind “She’s Leaving Home” — and Paul Had Already Met Her In February 1967, Paul opened The Daily Mail and spotted a short article about a 17-year-old girl named Melanie Coe who had run away from home, leaving her parents confused and heartbroken. Inspired, Paul sat down and wrote “She’s Leaving Home.” But here’s the twist most fans never hear: Paul had already met Melanie three years earlier—though neither of them realized it at the time. In 1964, Paul served as a guest judge on the popular TV show Ready, Steady, Go! Melanie, then just 14, won a prize for a mime contest. One black-and-white photo from that day captures the two shaking hands. Three years later, unknowingly, he wrote her life into song. Melanie later said: “It’s just so weird that Paul would write about my life, and not even realize it was me.” Did you already know this story—or is this one of those “No way!” Beatles facts for you? #BeatlesTrivia #ThingsYouMayNotKnow #ShesLeavingHome #PaulMcCartney #MelanieCoe #BeatlesHistory #ReadySteadyGo #AbbeyRoadTribute #FabFour #BehindTheSongs #BeatlesMoments
  18. Just a reminder or in case you missed them. Law Changes Summary 1. Only the Captain Competitions can now mandate that only the team captain may approach referees—identified by an armband—to improve on-field respect and communication. 2. Goalkeeper 8‑Second Rule A goalkeeper controlling the ball for over 8 seconds (visual 5‑second countdown by the referee) will result in a corner kick awarded to the opponent—replacing the old 6‑second, indirect free-kick rule. 3. Dropped Ball Clarification If play stops in the penalty area, a dropped ball goes to the goalkeeper. Outside, it's dropped to the team entitled to possession, or to the last player who touched it if unclear. 4. Ball Out of Play Contacts If a staff member, substitute, sent-off or temporarily off-field player touches the ball as it’s exiting the field—no misconduct, just an indirect free-kick. 5. Offside from Keeper Throws Offside is now determined by the last point of contact when the goalkeeper throws the ball (not release point). 6. VAR & AR Protocol Updates Competitions may allow referees to announce VAR reviews publicly (as seen in FA Cup and Carabao Cup). In VAR zones, assistant referees will align with the penalty spot, focusing solely on offside; VAR will monitor goal-line and keeper encroachment.
