ExiledAjax

Really should have one back there.

RobinsTV has lost the audio from the ground. That is they've lost the feed. Presume there's some issues at Carrow Road that might be affecting all types of broadcast.

Ah ****. You could see they've been pouncing on those little errors that we've gotten away with in our other games. They'll take them.

More pressing than a cider farm.

Impeccable. Well done to all who are there. Shame that couldn't happen at AG - due to the postponement. Not suggesting our fans wouldn't be just as respectful.

RobinsTV has a studio now!?!? No more cupboard under the stairs. Ps. Delighted to see Brian alive and well.

Popped onto the OS to check some fixtures. For a split second I thought Tins had died. Was braced for another Bank Holiday next week.

What a tune.

Yes Ipswich clearly yet another team who play the wrong type of football.

If they end in a shot yes. If you're just taking the ball into the box, wandering around with it, then losing possession, then not so much. Shots to Box entry ratio would be what you need. Exactly, no point going in, out, in, out, in out, and never getting your shot off.

I agree. Check back with me on Saturday. I wholeheartedly agree with you by the way. However I have been told, by a source I trust, that this is what is happening.

Away kit v Norwich. 3rd kit v Burnley.

I suspect it would need sanctioning by FIFA, which wouldn't happen. There's likely some sort of commercial agreement between the FA/PL/EFL/FIFA that those weeks will be for WC games only and no one else can play football. Wouldn't want the EFL (and it's sponsors) taking viewers away from the glorious world cup of Qatar (and it's sponsors) now would we. Money > sense.

We don't play a game between 12 Nov and 10 Dec due to the world cup. I know they won't reschedule to those weeks, but there are free days. We'd be without Semenyo. I don't think PNE have a single player who is likely to be in Qatar...maybe Olussunde for USA, but he's only got one cap from 2018 so it seems unlikely.

There's a couple of weeks in November/December going free.

Not off the top of my head. I'd see that as a positive as it demonstrates that we have a benevolent monarchy that respects its modern position within the constitution.

This is the key for me. Wonderfully worded arguments by the way. I've been wanting to write similar but couldn't put it so succinctly. Reform the monarchy and HoL. Yes. Abolish and replace it? Shortsighted in my opinion. Watch the proclamation today and you see that it's a deal. The monarch rules, but they also serve, the privy council support, but they also hold the monarch to account. There is balance.

Many people say misguided things in their youth that they come to regret when older.

DM me.

I believe one reason (happy to be corrected) is that those people there gathered - members of the Privy Council - are those that are assumed to have the power, wealth, land and possibly the motive to organise a rebellion or coup. By getting them in a room early doors to all agree that Charles III is the rightful liege lord - the words used - you legally preclude a civil war for the throne. Likewise none can claim that Charles has not promised to do his duty. He is now answerable to them, and they are answerable to him. The crown is preserved. At this point I think we should acknowledge how well Anne, Edward and Andrew are doing. So far as I can see none of them are marshalling forces to take the throne. We will have no war of the diadochi. Instead a peaceful transition for for modern times and sentiments.

Bank holiday on the funeral day confirmed.

Thanks will look for that. My knowledge of it comes from Law school. It's fascinating that it's evolved over hundreds of years, from the witengamot and tingmeets of the 8th and 9th centuries, down through monarchs and ministers of various quality, through wars both foreign and civil, through Empire and down to the diverse Privy Council and promises and proclamations I'm watching now. Proper grown up government. A unifying answer to the question of why should you and I obey the law? It's not perfect, but it's pretty close imo.

Not this afternoon, but I'd encourage people to switch the TV on now and watch our Constitution in action. Proclamation ceremony on now. Never before televised. Fantastic.

Of course it matters who took the decision. It wasn't government, it wasn't the royal family, it was the Premier League board. They decided it should be postponed. They lobbied their clubs and got approval. The FA and the EFL then fell in step like good little boys. Other sports, who are run by people not so desperate to be seen as relevant, not so inflated by their own self-importance, they've played on. It is only those who run football who are showing themselves to have fallen out of touch and to have misjudged the public mood.
