But then it allows the Putin regime to say to his public that our athletes are still welcome. I understand that the IOC say that they try to keep politics out, but they are bound to fail - the Olympics have a track record of being used for political propaganda purposes and there are more than enough examples.

You and me both. After a positive LFT am in isolation with no symptoms at all. Fantastic result - can't wait to watch the whole match.

Yup, certainly looks like the beginning of the end to me. Might take a while but unfortunately I think we'll eventually look back on this as when Nige's stay started to unravel. I doubt that JL has said anything that SL doesn't agree with. Despite all the good that has been done I despair of the Lansdowns at times.

Oi, pack it in yer wazzock! 'Appen? Nobody says 'appen in Harrogate. Nobody wears a flat cap. Whippet racing is unknown. Harrogate, let me tell you , is a genteel spa town, Georgian architecture. sweeping crescents etc.. Posh. All cream teas by the piano - that sort of place. I grew up in the dark satanic mills part of Yorkshire and, to be fair, you will hear people say "appen there. As an aside to this ramble I did have a mate whose family moved to Harrogate. The mother, trying to fit into Harrogate society, bought a set of fish knives and forks, which were first used to eat fish fingers. (True story sadly). Oh well, enough from me. Consider yerself told off - I'm off to feed me ferret.

It's got a roof on it.

I could get my wife's Uncle Reg to go if that would help.

Think both James and King have been ok when available and fit although injuries have been a big issue, so probably not is just playing terms. That said, I would hope that both are a huge help in developing our young midfielders who have all come on well this year: Massengo, Scott and Benerous certainly not looking too shabby.

Moses, you heathen....

Exactly - just as long as that side's not us.

Definitely think we've missed him this year - at both ends of the pitch.

Even if Cotts didn't get Zach Clough for £2m that month he did manage to get Arnold Garita. Not all good news then.. https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/cotterill-on-clough-no-go/

It might be a custodial sentence - that sort of thing used to happen a lot in times gone by.

Indeed. Let's suppose that City got fined for the recent bottle throwing incidents. Imagine the reaction if the club decided to pass the cost on to Section 82, or whichever block the bottles came from. Cardiff need to find those responsible and punish accordingly, not victimise the vast majority of decent folk.

Simples. The SS Great Britain is irony.

City had gone from.the old first division right down to the bottom of the football league. Had social media (including this forum) been around at the time many of these players would have been seen as stealing a living and justifiably received dogs' abuse for their on-the-field capitulation. At the time.they left the the best deal.for them - no altruism, nothing heroic.

I'm thoroughly enjoying watching the team these days, which I haven't been able to say for a couple of years. Only 6 clubs have scored more than we have, but unfortunately only two have conceded more. We have some very good young players and our progress is being guided by a manager who clearly knows what he's doing. Very optimistic about the next two years.

Wasn't he was signed by Steve Coppell? Seem to remember he came as one for the future, made his Championship debut with us due to injuries, was an instant success and never looked back.. Also him and Bolasie ripping a few sides apart.

I can sympathise with your view, but County Cricket just isn't producing battle hardened Test players for England these days. Contrast this with Sheffield Shield in Australia where just 6 teams play the sort of cricket that produces Test players. In England we have gone for one day comps, the blast, the hundred all to attract spectators and generate cash to support the existing structure. If you want to see the best players you'll see them in these comps and rarely in the county champs, where red ball contracted test players don't even play anymore. Much as I've loved county cricket I can see that it's no longer fit for purpose, doesn't produce Test players, is of little interest and attracts a diminishing number of spectators. Perhaps reducing the number of counties would be sensible, which would leave space for the money making stuff, and also make sure that the best players play in the 4 day game against the best opposition.

COD is one of a number that don't even nearly justify their wage. The whole lot need to go and be replaced by players who actually earn their keep. Given the club's finances and FFP the club needs a complete reset so the likes of COD and Co going is no bad thing.

Yes, I'm sure they're thinking the same thing. Trouble is that we'd then be without them. Develop potential and then sell once they get any good ain't going to get is to the Prem anytime soon.

I thought Conway looked promising, although he's obviously raw. He made a few good runs and had enough about him to get into goal scoring positions - good instincts for a striker. Unfortunately his composure let him down, which is about experience and confidence, which will come with games played. If we're going to produce our own young players they will have to start when inexperienced and we're going to have to accept their growing pains.
