@villalad21 - the Kiraly is the perfect example of when it happens. It’s also why the leagues allow emergency goalkeeper loans. Whilst it doesn’t necessarily happen every season it does happen. Also @JamesBCFC has mentioned that Bristol City are on their youth keeper having had both 1st team keepers out. They also bought in another keeper in January and he’s also out injured. Now that is worse luck than us!

Was there too. Felt they were on absolute form last night!

I see they have now started to resort to chemical warfare...

That is not a good situation to be in. Whilst we have had 4 keepers this season it’s been through our own choice. Are the other 3 likely to be back soon?

Why don;t you ask the people who attended this...

I'm in the opposite dilemma. I didn't vote for my MP but throughout this process he has been pushing the Soft Brexit/2nd Referendum, making him far more palatable.

That's what I mean, if you ask people who you vote for, they will tell you the party, not the person. It seems very few actually consider what that person does in parliament/the local area. Its foolish but doesn't stop people doing that.

If those abstentions actually voted we would at least have clear majority one way or the other. Looking at those figures, I think at least one of those options would actually pass. I find it absolutely hysterical though that parliament cannot even agree to give itself more power, despite that's where the ultimate sovereignty lies! Party politics are broken. Given people vote for a party rather than the person, a general election is going to cause havoc. No one is going to know who they are actually voting for. I think we are going into a period of (even more) political turmoil. The only possible upside is that there is talk of significant political reform so we put this 2 party system to bed.

New album from Devin Townsend released on Friday. Not had a chance to listen much to it but a definite grower. Getting better with each listen...

FTFY. That should be a bit quicker to answer @bickster

Of course Fairies are real. Yeah fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me. Yeah I saw it, I saw it, I tell you no lies

From the article:

To be fair it sounds like the DUP are still saying they don’t like it and will vote against so it was pretty pointless of her. What is it with Tories not making sure they have the numbers? Don’t they teach maths at Eton?

If the WA now passes because of this it’s a disgrace. Literally nothing has changed when it’s was first defeated by 230 votes. How can they justify the change in position just because she’s going? It’s still the same deal that they all said was “a bad deal”.

If they do, it just reinforces the opinion that they see this process is governmental rather than parliamentary, when, as repeated time and time again, it is not (Noticed His Honourable Member for the 16th Century got this confused earlier). This government/Theresa May seem to act that they have a huge majority when they don't, they are just utterly belligerent in its thought process. It will be interesting if any of the options gain a majority whether the government would follow suite.

Good. Hopefully something can come about the votes this afternoon to stop this whole nonsense (though I doubt it).

I bet he left Theresa May with a salty taste in her mouth...

This is the real issue, May is acting like she has a huge majority, yet cannot even get half of her party to agree with her. Every politician is "acting in the best interests" and can use some argument to justify it, however benign. This will continue "ad nauseam" and in all honesty I am fed up. The deadlock will not be broken and something has to give. That is why it is so frustrating. On all logic, the deadlock can only realistically be broken if it is returned to "the people" to decide, in some form, be it another referendum or general election (more likely). The problem with that is May and the Tories are refusing to do so in the vain hope that they can get it resolved. Labour aren't exactly jumping up and in any event will probably still pursue Brexit in any event if Corbyn gets his way. Quite frankly though, it is the only method I can see that will bury the issue once and for all either way. It is just a farce, and if there is another vote/general election I can't decide whether it will be the lowest turnout due to apathy or the highest because every is that angry with it all.

It's back up and with having a quick glace, the numbers of the majority of constituencies appear to be around 600-750 for the "Leave Without a Deal" map, whilst the "Remain" map is 500-1000. "Remain" Map "Leave Without a Deal" Map

That has the same problem though and I think this is from what the twitter map gets its information from. Would check but the petition website is down...

The problem with this (and the maps used in the petition website as well) is that is represent different figures. The "leave without a deal" petition is at a scale between 0 - 1167 and the "remain" petition is between 0 - 3406. Its just hard to compare the 2. I would be interested to see an actual comparison though.

This. Its funny though that it has already got 200k more signatures than the "leave without a deal" petition that has been opened for some time (at least December 2018 when the Government responded to it). It is also the open petition with the most signatures. Will be utterly pointless but if the figures go high enough they can be indicative that a lot of people want a change in course.
