  1. I've often thought about this, as someone who was a little 'un at the time and wasn't really directly affected by it. From a modern perspective, the concept of men going into mines to dig up coal is so archaic and, in fact, seems pretty distasteful in many ways. So, was the real problem with the shutting down of the coal mining not the end aim of removing that industry, but the manner in which is it was done? The timescales, the pension issues, the police behaviour etc.? Because I cannot imagine any world in which manual coal mining would still be a thing now. Don't get me wrong - I'm not defending Thatcher in any way at all, I'm just curious what people think the "best" solution should have been to this assuming that we should have arrived ultimately at a point where coal mining was a thing of the past anyway.
  2. Wooooo! Although the building being saved doesn't automatically translate to it being brought back to life. But fingers crossed!!!
  3. How did it take so long to rule out? The wm commentators have been saying for five minutes it was handball.
  4. I really hated the way Keown kept talking over and interrupting the female presenter. It was very disrespectful I thought.
  5. Bailey just said it was really bad , an open wound on his knee. Amazing that he managed to play so well afterwards!! Fingers crossed a bit of bandaging and hell be back soon.
  6. Brilliant tonight. And as always so humble and calm in his interview. Great guy.
  7. Really encouraging. Voted for Bailey, obviously, but Torres was silky smooth and calm as ever and is always worth considering. Hopefully Ollie is ok.
  8. Could this be actually a turning point for the end of the season? A convincing win, goals for players that have been struggling lately...
