If I was a player, then I would hate to win like that. Wondering whether someone had thrown a match against me.

I would like to see Si Jiahui winning it. I guess that most of the general public will also be rooting for him now. I don't greatly dislike Selby, but I would rather he didn't win it again. I don't really mind if Allen or Brecel win it. Allen looks like a leprechaun, so maybe luck will be on his side this year.

I am not casting any hard aspersions here, but I was wondering the same thing as this chap on the BBC comments, after watching the conclusion of the O'Sullivan V Brecel match. Even allowing for all of Ronnie's weirdness etc.. Reply posted by R M, today at 13:46 'Anyone but Ronnie, this would have gone for fixing.'

This move is part of wider judicial reforms. Most alarming, is the news about a pilot scheme that will allow just one judge, with no jury at all, to decide whether someone is guilty of rape or only attempted rape. Nothing undemocratic to worry about here then. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-65397235 'Not proven verdict to be scrapped in Scottish courts.' 'A new specialist sexual offences court will be created and a pilot project will see rape and attempted rape cases being held without a jury, with a single judge deciding whether or not the accused is guilty.'

This is positive news, but how long could it take to go through the motions? Years, probably. Sadly, I am guessing that 'corporate manslaughter' equates to none of the guilty ever eating any porridge. A long while back, there was some idiot on here bragging that they had written an article debunking our assertions. Probably died when gardening by now. . For now, in the countries where it is occurring, mass immigration is running alongside depopulation. No reason why it shouldn't do.

The Stuttgart tournament starts a month after she last played. I will be interested to see whether she does play and how she performs. It must have been some coughing fit.

Musk risks a row with the BBC, eh? See how he fights for us.

It's almost like you can hear some little cogs going round in Jurgen's pea-sized brain. However, when you've been one of those heavily promoting the shit juice, albeit innocently, then the bar to self-realisation must be a lot higher, than it would be for your average Joe. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65215883 'Liverpool v Arsenal: Gunners boss Mikel Arteta expects atmosphere like a jungle.' The Reds are 29 points behind leaders Arsenal having lost nine times in 28 matches. They have not lost more league games in any of Klopp's six full seasons in charge. "It is one of these moments where it is really not good," Klopp said. "You get in this whirlwind and it sucks you in that direction and all of a sudden it's like 'Wow, where are we?'. But I am not a worse manager than last year, definitely not. It doesn't mean the outcome is good enough, not at all. But I'm not worse. And the players are not worse players. They've just played worse. That's definitely the case." (Why?)

I would love to see the official stats relating to the vaccination status of all Premier League squads. How many vaccines has each player had, if any, from what manufacturer and when. I certainly wasn't suggesting that a vaccine-hammered Liverpool squad solely accounts for the 30 points or so gap between them and Arsenal, but there is no doubt in my mind that it has cost Liverpool points. If enough players are not performing 100% physically, which the vaccines clearly do affect, then it's a given. P.S. It seems that at least some of the Liverpool squad did manage to achieve the quadruple last season.

If someone walked out of a vaccination centre, had a cardiac arrest and expired 100 metres down the road, then I reckon that they would still try and pass it off as unsuspicious. Even if it happened to 333 people in one day. They would probably say that the vaccine gave them an extra 50 metres or some tripe like that. RIP. P.S. If he 'died peacefully', then it must be ok. All sudden, unexpected deaths of those in their 30's, 40's and 50's, which are subsequently deemed 'peaceful', should not be questioned.

Are Liverpool the most vaccinated squad in the Premier League? Never the vaccine... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59702363 (18th December 2021.) 'Premier League and government urge footballers to get Covid-19 vaccine.' 'Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp believes getting a vaccination should be mandatory "from a moral point of view" and revealed "99%" of his squad have had both jabs.' Premier League table today. (5th April 2023.) 1. Arsenal - 72 points. 2. Manchester City - 64 points. 3. Newcastle United - 50 points. 4. Tottenham Hotspur - 50 points. 5. Manchester United 50 points. 6. Brighton & Hove Albion - 46 points. 7. Aston Villa - 44 points. 8. Liverpool - 43 points. 9. Brentford - 43 points.

Yet again, we will have 'NHS Teams' going round the care homes first. I would like to see some undercover footage, about how they operate. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see some subtle bullying being directed at the so-called 'refuseniks'.

The 'Coronavirus' link has now been removed from the BBC News home page. And no, it has not been demoted and now located under 'More'. The 'Brexit' link is gone as well.
