Why on earth is there a 3rd place playoff?

Congrats SA. All that matters is points on the board at the end.

Yep, play the development dirt trackers in the semi.Its all about the final.

pigsy

That's why it would be funny. Very very funny. Given how awful England have been, I would take a win then a loss over what is likely to happen on Saturday. I approached this World Cup with a strange uncharacteristic calm. Since the ABs obviously weren't up to it, I was happy with the thought of a n...

Gotta say, it would be funny if England play an absolute blinder in the semi, then run out of puff in the final. Particularly if the final is against NZ. That would be a mirror of 2019, no it would not be funny whatsoever you mad bastard :frown: That's why it would be funny. Very very funny. Given ...

Wait is he dead??
Sadly yes.

Awesome result!
How many of the Portugal team are professional? And how much weight were they giving away to Fili?

pigsy

7s played with 15 on each side.

To be fair to the frenchies it's a good crowd once again.

pigsy

Portugal great value once again. Just keep dropping the ball!

Portugal will attack where possible for 80 mins. Great fun to watch.

Loads of Portuguese expats in France

pigsy

Ai caramba! Hell of a running line.

pigsy

Has anyone got the pack weights of the 2 teams?
I'm also assuming Portugal are mostly amateur?

Apparently Broad has just announced his retirement
Farewell and thankyou Mr Ashes!

Many years of good times. Fangle was always a voice of rye good sense.

20+ years!

RIP old man.

pigsy

Good luck FA. Hoping you pull through!

Qatar are 500/1 to win the tournament. Definitely worth a punt!

So, apparently Truss' phone was hacked for a year by the Russians while she was foreign secretary. BoJo knew about it but suppressed it so it wouldnt affect the leadership contest over the summer. Truly the gift that keeps giving :frown: https://twitter.com/MoS_Politics/status/1586387591779127297?t=...

Oh dear, maybe it's not all going to settle down. https://twitter.com/Peston/status/15813 ... QOwww&s=19

Long, but great dissection of Russia's failings:

It has been a joy watching Fox and seeing the mental gymnastics going on. My new favourite is Gutfeld. Truly awful in a way Tucker can only aspire to.

I'm sorry Americans, but you guys are really quite an odd bunch. DeSantis is a disingenuous freak, tries all the culture war shit but I don't think he's legit mad enough to entice the MAGA crowd. De Santis is a lightweight compared to those Oklahoma folks. https://twitter.com/wsuares/status/1561900...

he does cover the logistics but not the decision making behind it, specifically that ammo is the constraint primarily as pointed out. He talks about the manufacturer currently only making 9k a year but as other tweets in reply ask....well, its a fcukin war, kinda extenuating circumstances, acts can...

pigsy

genuinely curious, if its 50 HIMARSs or 200 what are the supply constraints ; they're not available currently ? if not then how long would it take to make them available ? or is it US/UK not being sure if they should provide them at this point because they're concerned about Russian reaction or tha...

I wonder if Phil Neville was watching....

Thanks to this thread I am taking Piglet (those who remember me may be surprised to know that he is now 15!) to see Dune tomorrow. I have all the books ready to shove in his face as soon as we get home :D . Paul Atreides is 15 years old at the start of the novels and is meant to be a callow youth tr...

I have felt the NEU in particular are way out of step with teachers, many colleagues have been bewildered by their stances for much of this year. We also had to write the exams as the papers the exam boards produced were cracked and distributed by private tutors almost immediately. The whole process...

Another deep frustration is the unreliability of the polling. Take the key battleground of Arizona - On Wednesday CNBC had Biden at +7 on Thursday Gravis had Trump +4. Given the normal statistical errors of around 3-4% for these things then one/tother/both have a problem with their polling. The Econ...

The pardon stats are interesting 963 (Obama) 229 (Clinton) 100 (Bush) 36 (Trump) 20 (John Adams) 16 (George Washington) Trump third lowest. I assume that most pardons happen in the last days of office. I also assume that commuting sentences does not appear in those stats I am trying to work out the...

I am sure this has been discussed already, but I don't understand the really strong pushback from players and the PFA regarding wage reductions for PL players. What was the collective wisdom of the bored on this? Gordon Taylor's arguments were impenetrable. From my reading the PFA seem to say that ...

The guidance we are being given for Y11 and Y13 is that once we have completed the courses with them (I have) is to set wider reading projects, enrichment and careers projects that lead them on to the next stage of their education (usually university for the Y13s in my school). Obviously there are M...

In addition to the above: Dr Frost is what the maths teachers swear by for A level, especially the stats (which everyone hates) For GCSE science its Fuseschool For KS3, because it doesn't exist, there really is just a hotchpotch of stuff. I suggest if you want any science help with key stage 3 then ...

No probs , expect by now nobody is there who I would know anyways , Ned H retired , iggy still there as exam bod? Bob L ? Great school to have on your CV though :thumbup: Not sure if iggy still clinging on, I am due to go to a party on that front this summer but assume it will be cancelled. Bob L r...

Nope, I'm 2 schools on from there. Still have many friends at that school though

Many of you will be stuck at home trying to monitor/push/help your kids with their learning, probably for the first time full time. I am a secondary chemistry teacher and also know some other sciencey and possibly mathsy bits and pieces. If I can help in anyway please do let me know. I have taught c...

I'm a secondary chemistry teacher. Happy to help out with any ideas and support for homeschooling. The modelling and the cancelling of the exams suggests we could be in this until Sept/Oct. Maybe they will carousel the pupils bringing them in a year group at a time? I am not going to enjoy this. For...

HUGE TORY WIN THERE :shock: :shock: :shock: No one saw that coming. Labour -13%. Brexit +11% Blyth Valley would have stayed Labour if there was a pact with Green/Lib Dem. Sunderland would have gone to the Tories if the Brexit party didn't run there. Not if brexit party took votes from labour

Is there no Lord buckethead or that giant fish finger?

One of the silver linings to a horrible black cloud for England has been the story of the Boks journey, indeed it may have given them the X factor they certainly had. We all remember the iconic picture of Madiba with Pienaar, but I haven't seen a similar iconic photo as yet. Is there a picture that...
