John Moss was 100% right to send Vardy off against West Ham in 2016. 

Vardy went down easily but there was clear contact. And you don't get penalties if you don't go down.

 

It was never a yellow card dive.

Jon Moss doesn't bother me anymore. I prefer him to the likes of Pawson, Mason etc. They are genuinely the worse refs in the league.

David Coote is the worst. He shouldn't even be refereeing football league games never mind Premier League.

Oh come on, there was only contact because he flung himself into the defender to try and con the referee into awarding a penalty. If an opposition player, who was on a yellow card had done that against us and didn't get booked, we'd be fuming.

I'm fairly sure I've mentioned this on the thread already,nor at least words to the effect, that I find endurance feats for charity boring and for those doing it, I'm not always sold on their altruistic intentions. 

 

Obvs.the captain Tom news reminded me of my long held views on charity stunts. They're boring. No disrespect to the old fella. But the story was boring af

 

But charity bike rides London to Paris. Hair shaving. Kilimanjaro climbs. Three peaks challenge. Sitting in a bath tub of beans. Yawn yawn.

If its something challenging like climbing a mountain then fair play. 

 

Shaving your head for a fiver - **** off.

I'd also add that people who claim that it's grim are only going on outdated stereotypes.

I agree that some probably do it purely for their ego, but I think the ends justify the means. I do think some of them are a bit weak, like a fit and healthy 20 something doing a 5k run or shaving their hair off, both things many of us would do at a moment's notice not exactly a feat. But again, I'd say if it gets some money that will genuinely help people, let those guys massage their egos a bit

'Shaving hair off every day for a year for charity', you'll raise millions!

A bald man suggesting that would be even less impressive than anyone else.

I suppose that depends what you define as "major"... For me it's Brighton then Bristol (Edinburgh squeezed in the middle if you include GB as a whole).  That said I've only been to Liverpool once as a kid. 

 

London is right down the bottom.  Vile place.

Nobody is happy that Captain Tom is dead and he raised a lot of money, was a war hero but I think the coverage of his death is a bit OTT. Nobody had heard of him 10 months ago.

Somewhat of a generalisation there.

I've thought it all along.

Double standards too. His family could see him when he died/dying? When nobody else can do that.

The average Brit is just as thick as the average American. We just don't have as many gun-toting mental cases.

London is a very large diverse city - in terms of culture, geography and environment. Greater London, even more so. To brand it as universally 'vile' is somewhat of a generalisation.

That's a bit of a generalisation don't you think?

Couldn't disagree more.

 

For me, Brighton is the worst city in the UK.

 

Lived there for a couple of years many years ago and I think it encompasses all the worst parts of London.

 

House prices and rent way too high for what they should be worth. Very, very clique and single-minded people. Plus it's a very dirty and run down city and even the seafront is just a small pebble beach with a main road and tacky hotels along it, with nowhere for people to gather that isn't full of traffic noise. It's the dirtiest and least enjoyable seafront on the south coast, for sure.

 

But I guess it just shows how everyone sees different UK cities differently.

 

I think Edinburgh and Newcastle are great cities, but I couldn't live anywhere but the south coast these days.
