Unless your concerns about how we can offer a more humane immigration system then you are xenophobe.  If you are worried about the geographical location of where someone popped out of a uterus then you are not thinking rationally.

And no, I cannot see why anyone would have any issue with the current levels of immigration to/from the UK.  Unless as I said above you are worried about how some people coming here are treated.

Do you not agree that an expanding population due to EU immigration, would lead to an extra burden on the NHS, housing, benefit and other public services aswell as the rise in rents?

Do you think that EU immigration, where people get fake payslips in order to claim benefits, working tax credits child tax credits and housing assistance? Or people that work minimal hours and tdo not pay any tax or nino who then can claim housing and benefit assistance? Or people that illegally overstay in the country, in order to achieve a loophole and gain housing or benefit assistance.

All of these are ongoing issues, though you did not answer my question in the first place.

Are you suggesting if only two had gone through, Russia and Slovakia may have tried  harder? Last time I looked England still qualified 2nd (and unbeaten)

No, I'm suggesting that if the tournament wasn't diluted with dross teams, then England's group might be stronger than it was, and given that they couldn't even beat Russia, who along with Austria have been the worst in the tournament that they would have struggled to make top 2.

As Shearer has said. No team will be scared of playing England, and why would they?

Looking at the qualifying tables Turkey, Ukraine and Sweden finished 3rd in their groups (so should perhaps be considered diluters based on prior 18 months) but have been eliminated as bottom in their groups in France (backing up that theory).

Ireland and Hungary both finished third in their qualifying groups. Hungary were top at the tournament group, so can't really be called diluting dross. Ireland scraped through in third.

Russia and Austria cited as being the worst there, qualified well (very well in Austria's case) and so can't really be suggested as being diluting dross without the benefit of hindsight. Russia turned out to be awful, but deserved to be there on prior form.

Not sure who else wouldn't have been there but I'm not buying that it has actually been diluted by dross teams.

I will happily take on board that England would have struggled more in a tougher group (and would probably be in Wetherspoons in Luton as we type), but I don't take that particular argument Sups. It was a favourable draw, but some happen like that.

What I mean Roller, is that had it been the usual 16 teams, then the likes of England would be very lucky to get through in a top 2 position. I'm not sure why there's even a question there.
England qualified in first place, but no one is taking that as something that ought to be considered as an indication of "form" going into a tournament and they always show how that "form" means nothing whatsoever. They do it every tournament nearly.
 So, you can still qualify for the tournament, however you do it, and still be considered a dross team in the main draw. Sweden, Ukraine, Romania, Albania, Slovakia have hardly pulled up any trees.  All of those teams, incl NI, (Sweden have fallen way down in recent years) would look severely out of place in a 16 team tournament.

Yes to keep it in a 'Kammy' - football sort of way - "Your not wrong there Roller'"

In my view if France don't win it then England could - despite Roy's bumbling. Wales are the best form side of the top half draw; if they steer clear of injuries they can sort a few of the so called big guns out and go all the way.

You may laugh Super, but they've got as much chance of winning it (but sadly they probably wont) as the Open being played at Port Rush. Oh dear it transpires they're hosting the Open at Port Rush in 2019. I do recall that you were the esteemed civil engineer genius that stated a few years ago it would never happen.

You must be the only person who thinks they can win it.
They aren't even close to being clinical enough, their defence isn't good enough and their manager is a tactically inept buffoon.
They've not come up against any decent teams yet and they've been shown up in all of them. To expect them to win the next 4 games when they've only just won one game out of three is a tall order. Not impossible, but incredibly unlikely given that they haven't won 4 knockout games since 1996 let alone in one tournament.

You could sort that out by having 8 seeds (those with most points from the group stages) going directly to the L16. That would also promote offensive playing in the group stages. The remaining 16 would play for the last 8 spots. (They have similar systems in other sports like handball.)
A winner would then max have to play one more game than to win the world cup.
You could then also stage the tourney over a longer period of time and in more countries.

You don't consider Wales decent either then. At least you are consistent. I don't recall England being shown up against Wales apart from the embarrassing goalkeeper incident when Joe Hart was still washing his hair when Bale scored from 30 yards.

They're all decent teams especially, as you suggest Davie, Wales in the form that they're in. The top half of the draw looks wide open. I'd be interested to know which teams posters predict to meet in the Final?

Italy to beat Croatia.

Think that concerns me with England is that they seem to have no Plan B, which Townsend or Andy Carroll (OK, OK) might have offered. Plus it was curious that Hodgson left Cahill in even when he was struggling with his hip - lack of confidence in Stones? Strikers might need to score goals, but defence needs to be much better too. Scary.

Good call with Carroll different sort of threat than the others not sure about Townsend though. Maybe Roy thought Carroll had been picked for Ireland Shocked

I don't see Wales as especially decent. They've had a good qualification, but they aren't a team that can win it, and those are the teams that England, by virtue of their retarded 6 man change which has seen them in the wrong half of the draw, are going to have to beat teams and those who ARE the main challengers.

That Wales-England game was a dog with fleas. It was like watching a Scottish Premier game. THe ball was just knocked back and forth and was nothing but head tennis. Poor touches, slack passing, rotten crosses.

The telling stat is that they have to win 4 games now, more than they've won in knockout in over 20 years. So no, I don't think they can win it.

Croatia - maybe, but mentality could be a unknown factor
or Belgium - a lot of individualists, but not a team


vs one of

Italy - looks strong.
Spain - best team on paper, but also seems complacent
France - hasn't impressed me, but plays at home so should be reckoned
Germany - usually gets stronger as the tournament progresses

Croatia - Germany

Croatia. Best team that actually plays like a team in the top half and Modric and Rakitic are an excellent pairing right in the middle of the pitch.

Germany. Well, they're just Germany. It's kind of what they do.

Well Kwini, The Yes morons can't call another Independence referendum without Westminster approval, and unless they have a 60% approval rate, they'd be crazy to risk another one so soon for fear of failure. *Stop Press.

Mac, England is not full of Xenophobic morons. Millions voted to remain (presumably your definition of not being a moron). Of the ones that voted leave I would venture a guess that maybe 10%ish would have what most normal people would class as Xenophobic views.

Sturgeon didn't really say anything I wouldn't have expected. A 2nd Indy Ref is now inevitable.

More surprising are the treacherous spineless and opportunistic Labour backbenchers thinking they are more in tune with their rank and file than their leader. Think it's time for the Labour party to split again, the Blairites can hop shamelessly into bed with the Lib Dems whilst the actual rump of whats left of the Labour Party can continue, maybe learning from the SNP on how to listen to your electorate.

Probably the biggest concern would be for N.I. As they want to remain it will fuel a gravitation toward a united Ireland. Good luck with the negotiations on that one!!

If democracy is the issue, maybe one should ask the Brexit campaign if they are in favor of a federal EU then? Of course not. Democracy is just an excuse for showing everybody the middle finger and picking your own behind..

Turnberry Tale

Saw Mr Idiot was at the re-opening of Turnberry, read about that and then tootled around the interwang as you do and ended up on the Turnberry site and found my way to the story in that link.

IMO - well worth a few minutes to read. Just a nice story.

Let them go. Much as I wanted Scotland to remain a part of the U.K. before, entirely understandable if they have another vote and I'm certain they'd vote out now.
Gove, Boris et al along with the selfish 'out'-voting pensioners should all be soundly beaten. Especially those pensioners. Check out the 13.16 entry on the link below to give you a flavour of the level of thought and thinly veiled xenophobia:

Amazing to me that all these two-faced "Leave"rs are saying how good a PM Cameron is. Almost as if they've got what they want and now don't know what to do with it.
Be careful what you ask for Boris, and the rest of you.

Typical politicians. Bit like when one dies - lifelong sworn enemies come over all nostalgic about how great the deceased was. Boris is FUBAR. I can't see the Tories sanctioning him as next PM, but they might.

Gotta pity the Gibraltarians...

Meanwhile and with some astonishing irony, Margaret Hodge tables a motion of No Confidence in Jeremy Corbyn's leadership. That's Margaret Hodge MP for Barking and Dagenham who was in the Remain camp and who's constituents voted by over 70% to leave. So what she is effectively saying is "I don't listen to my constituents and it's not my fault they're wrong, all wrong, it's Corbyn's fault, it must be because I've never liked him." If I were in that CLP I'd be screaming for her deselection...now!!

I can't think of a time when global politics was at such a low ebb. There is literally no positives around right now.

Oh, I dunno. Looking forward to laughing at more Trump idiocies during the U.S. election this autumn. Not a lot else though, to be fair.

Well, that was a surprise (at least to me). Now they are saying Scotland will leave the UK next.

Anyone who thinks Donald Trump can't win this Fall should pay close attention.

Well yes, his idiocy can be funny. But in terms of politics and being serious, there is little positive. The irony being it's one of Super's more positive posts.

Here's a thought for you.

Johnson and Trump.

One golf buggy at the whitehouse I don't want to be behind.
