What's that yellow card for you cheating prick?

Scoring. Oliver has now failed his assignment.

Zaniolo is a flipping cart horse. 

We should have put this to bed in the first half, but there’s no excuse for how passive we’ve been for the last 30. 

**** 

That was coming for a few minutes, need to score again now

Maybe - but that was a foul.

 

We need to step it up here.

Diaby for Bailey soon I reckon 

We look very very good going forward, could easily be 4 or 5 up. Hopefully JJ isn’t hurt badly, but Rogers really unlucky not to be in the score sheet. Their keeper having a blinder. Fancy Diaby getting a decent run out second half 

Good effort JJ. Think he might get one today 

edit: Or not…

Surely he is off side 

Cash played him on 

If we don’t win this game there should be an official club complaint going in for the standard of officiating. Between the Moreno goal and the pen we’ve been completely robbed today. 

What is the **** point of VAR? Absolute **** joke. 

Get in the bin was that off

Ukraine claiming three jets downed this morning 

 

 

The designers at Raytheon certainly never envisioned Patriot being used as a mobile system to conduct air ambushes. Great work by the Ukrainians.

This might be what the Russian satellite is - a electronic warfare satellite with a nuclear power source, rather than a nuclear-armed satellite.

That would certainly make more sense.

 

Make of this what you will

At least that suggests it hasn’t happened yet. A nuke seems overkill doesn’t it? Surely a regular missile could comfortably take out satellites.

Setting off a nuke in low earth orbit would make low earth orbit unusable indefinitely. What it didn’t destroy would be destroyed over time by the accumulated debris - like the movie Gravity. 

It makes zero sense.

I'm not an expert but isn't it more likely to be some form a laser weapon rather than a nuclear warhead. There are many obstacles to getting nuclear material launched into space and getting it back out of space safely (if needed).

Also if it is a weapon in space then why don't Russia just announce it? Not much anyone can do about it once it's already up there. 

It could just be an anti-satellite weapon like a new type of laser, yes. What doesn’t make sense is why, in that case, it would cause such a big flap? 

Countries don’t always advertise their newest weapon systems, because if the enemy doesn’t know you have it, they can’t start preparing counter measures or trying to build one of their own.

We call those, secrets

I can't believe Russia would have the technical capacity to fire Nuclear Weapons from space, especially with any kind of accuracy.  All of their wonder tech seems to be nothing more then a mirage. 

In fairness they can fire them now from under water, into space, and then back into the atmosphere to hit a target 1000’s of Kms away. 
 
Dropping it to earth 160km up (with a little bit of booster and guidance to re-enter the atmosphere in the right place) doesn’t seem beyond their technical capability.
